Welcome Beloved,
For our 42 Day World Gratitude gathering (and beyond!), let's use the following practice to connect with our world wide family of Gratitude:
Focus on Gratitude just before drifting to sleep, and immediately upon awakening.
Beyond words, allow this source force energy-in-motion (emotion) to flood each cell in your body, feeling wave after wave of Gratitude, immersing you in an energetic elixir of timeless NOW.
Let go, release, and breathe deeply. ahhhhhhh .......
As you drift in and out ...
Giving and receiving ...
Pure Gratitude for NOW.
Forget wondering how long is long enough - for Gratitude IS.
************************************************************************************
As our gathering is WorldWide, this practice will create a daily wave of Gratitude rolling through hearts and minds alike.
Beyond a static time, flowing with our natural rhythms, a unified connection through Gratitude will open and close each day.
Here - we meet as One, in Love - with Gratitude.
Plus! This practice will flood our bodies with serotonin and dopamine, assisting our ability to sustain a state of peace, relaxation and present moment awareness.
This discipline may be the simplest, easiest most effective means of co-creating change through Gratitude.
Why?
Moving from sleep to waking, waking to sleep, is a state change ... a phase transition.
Using Gratitude One by One, to move through a state change, we will charge our collective consciousness with this energetic pattern - effecting a global shift as we vacillate between here and NOW.
WOW!
***
" ... sudden transitions hold the key to a deep question about how nature works, of equal interest to scientists and philosophers alike: How does order emerge from disorder? ... Right at the transition point the system is poised to choose between these two phases, like a climber on a crest choosing which side to go down. Undecided which way to go, the system frequently goes back and forth, it's vacillations increasing near the critical point.
... In the vicinity of the critical point we need to stop viewing atoms (US) separately. Rather they should be considered communities that act in unison. Atoms must be replaced by boxes of atoms, such that within each box all atoms behave as one."

The magic moments of shift from conscious to unconscious and back hold great potential for peace, beauty, love and resonate with gratitude.
Thaks to all writers and this site for the wonderful feeling of connection. And so it begins.... Heather

Yes,Greetings family of Graditude.Well im for sure up to the 42day and beyond Graditude Wave.Well i awoke today to find clear blue skies,ah,bless it be especially for my line of making money.You see im a busker(i play the African Drum,djembe)and im on my way downtown Winnipeg MB to play in the streets(i stoped into a public access comp.room as i dont have my own compture)i wanted to write in the blog now and for the duration of the 42day Wave of Graditude.So yeah,wow so much to describe and be grateful for.Its so wonderful when im playing music to look people in the eyes,especially little ones they are so interested in the vibes of the music as i noticed moms and dads usually have to rush them off(if it was up to the kids they would chill out dance,play music and be totally fascinated)So i noticed the rush of everyday life,people busy got no time to listen to music.So im gratiful that i can sit in meditation while playing my drum,listen to my rythem and my heartbeating,its like im transported to Africa,where i can get into a trance next thing i know im dancing around a roaring fire with other hot sweaty bodies dancing letting the music take us away,also i get images of hurt and suffering people old and young and i say alittle prayer for the protection and well-being of these indiviuals.Im so grateful for this day,of music,friends,all around good feeling of being alive.I will also use that meditation technique i read at the beginging of the 42wave about seeing and feeling my cells wake up from the dream state to wakefulness.So thank-you to all of you out there doing this heartwork,to focus on a better world,to really bring in the Love and transcend beyond the fear and illuisions that keep us tied down,to re-member who we really are to act from the heart to be in constent graditude and imbrace all of this.When im drumming i close my eyes sometimes and i can feel all this energy around me,people passing me by different noise's,dogs barking,people taking,cars honking,i feel it all and as my eyes are closed i embrace the energy feel it i dont judge it or try and run away from it.I just feel it i dont try and explain it away,im grateful to feel it to be part of it..So im ready,ready to free fall,like a river i too shall enter back into the sea.See y'all there.Bless it be...coming home,woah,yeah,,,,JH

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you
Words are woven within the fabric of the wave and I embrace each of us heart to heart. Giving and receiving, receiving and giving.
Instruments of endless gratitude and abundance :-)

What does it feel like to be grateful?
Soft heart, flowing joy, let me become the vibration of gratitude. I don't know if I've ever let myself go there, I feel vulnerable. People out there, my name is Ian Porteous, help me learn to let go and feel grateful.
I choose the best for all of us.
Thankyou. I expect a shift of awereness by morning.

Thank you Zoe Ann. That was beautiful.

I have been on the gratitue wave for some months now and have been placing my hand on my heart before I go to bed and as I wake up. The evenings and mornings I forget to do so I don't feel as rested or calm. This simple act brings my mind, body and soul together giving the day such positive energy for me. Thank you for giving me this simple task to help me learn and love from each day.

Thank you for creating a space where we can practice WE consciousness rather than the ME consciousness that has become such a drag. I am grateful to be among you and look forward to these 42 days and the miracles they will bring.
Ecstasy,

I traveled to a very remote property today listening along the way to a message of gratitude on my car CD player. I finally found the property I was looking for and on the historical marker was a G sign very much like the gratitude sign we see on this site. I felt an instant connection to the ONE, all that is, at that moment. Thank You, Thank You!

so delicious the reminder of Source energy is, we ought to drink it in whenever we recognize it...or rather...let it out, expose our own Deeeeep connection to Perfect Wholeness...remind others
:))) crazy good love

Many Many thanks to the Life force which led me here.....
And the folks who had the vision for the creation of a space where the draw is exponential, intentional and collective....
A seemingly random choice??????;)
I think not-
Rather a response to the calling of the wave which pours forth and then energetically draws those who are open to the pull-
offering no resistance-
outside the contrived field of time and space I allowed myself to be in the present moment and respond to the flow-
Much love and many blessings to us and all as we ride the crest-
Gratefully-
Tracy

Gratitude calls to me!
I am grateful to hear the call!
I am grateful I have a friend who invited me here!
I will reply in kind to the great call to gratitude!
I remember choosing gratitude when another expressed upset and how powerful that was for me and how well that was received by the other!
I know I have all things working together for my greater good. I also have feelings that don't appear to feel grateful and I will extend love there just as I have extended to others.
I am grateful I have love that I can extend!
