The Gratitude Practice - a global community

  This morning I was suddenly inspired to create a "Gratitude Practice" page on Facebook. This all came about after I made the post below on the "Hayhouse Summit" page, which took-off faster than a wild fire blazing through a dried out canyon during our California "fire season".

Here is my Post:
I am interested in Starting an Online Gratitude Post for People to Participate In. Having a Regular Gratitude Practice Increases Your Vibration, Increases Your Mental & Emotional State and Attracts MORE of what You Desire in Life! 
With that Said...Let's Get this GOING!!! 
(please Post your Gratitude in the Comments Section Below if You would Like to Participate)
1st -Write down/Type/Think - "I Am Grateful For ..... " - However there is more power in writing it down
2nd List at least 3 things You are Grateful for & FEEL them preferably from your heart or some part of your body as you list them ONE at A Time. The key is to FEEL it! Take your time & Feel it. 
3rd Sit for a few moments in the positive energy that was created and notice where you feel it in your body. See if you can image that expanding throughout into every part of you becoming saturated in it, being one with it! This is a very Powerful Process.

If you have to use the same 3 things every time that is Ok. It's not about having a bunch of different things, but about being able to FEEL Gratitude -that is where our brain and biochemistry change! 
Happy Gratituding!

  Within a couple of hours I had created a separate page called "The Gratitude Practice". There seems  to be such a desire for people, not to mention a need, to connect to something positive. Our world is constantly bombarding us with negative images and messages. And our brains are programed to be critical and judgmental so combine the two, and well, you can see how gratitude just might be beneficial. 
  What I wasn't expecting was how great I felt after seeing ALL of the post and reading some of these amazing gratitude list! So not only do you benefit from sharing your list but others do as well! What a great trickle down effect or way to pay-it-forward.  A few post brought tears to my eyes with their beautifully simple and love-filled words. Some made me laugh. All were inspiring! 
  There have been a number of studies, which I will continue to post on "The Gratitude Practice" FB Page as I come across them, that show how our brains and our bodies actually change when we have a regular Gratitude Practice.  Yes, WE can CHANGE our BRAINS & BODY CHEMISTRY by practicing gratitude. Studies show that "Gratituders", I'll call them, report sleeping better, feeling happier, healthier, relationships improve, they obtain greater abundance and all sorts of great things  start shifting in their lives. All of this from finding a couple of things you can truly feel grateful for! Sounds like the best free-therapy out there!  So what are you waiting for??? Happy Gratituding! 
In Gratitude for you!
