Gratitude is emotion. Gratitude is ineffective when we say thank you without feeling it. The game-changer is feeling the emotions of that thank you. Feeling emotions of joy and love and happiness.

A gratitude practice is super important to do on a daily basis to help raise your vibration. All you need is a journal or a piece of paper and a pen or pencil. Make it fun and choose your favorite creative writing utensil.

Words are magic. You have the thoughts in your mind and when you put them on the page, they have been put into existence. You write those words down, you can see those words, you can feel those words and they are in existence. What emotions do you feel when you’re grateful? When something happens and you say thank you or you’re so grateful you just feel it in your heart and it totally bubbles up and out. That moment you allowed yourself to receive, that moment you allowed yourself to feel love, to feel joy, to be thankful and you value and appreciate what gave you gratitude. Gratitude is like a little bundle of joy and love and so much in one word those words of thank you is really, you know, feeling those feelings and those emotions and they bubble up and it’s a huge thank you.

Before we even get started into the guided gratitude practice, let’s calibrate where you are currently.

On a scale of one to ten where do you feel emotionally right now?

One feeling pretty down and out and ten, vibing really high. Where do you fit in that scale?

Write that number down on a piece of paper because we will check in after the guided gratitude practice to see how you’re feeling

To get started let’s write thank you on the top of your page. Underneath those big thank you words, write in big letters AIR.

Then write out, I am so grateful, thankful and full of joy, (I like to throw in, and full of joy, because it helps to bring up those emotions of gratitude) that I can breathe.

I’m so grateful, thankful and full of joy for my breath.

• What are you thankful for with your breath?
• What does your breath allow you to do?

I’m so grateful, thankful and full of joy for my breath. It allows me to swim. It allows me to live. I am so grateful, thankful and full of joy that I can go outside every morning and breathe fresh air.

Journal why are you so grateful and thankful for air. When you are ready you can move on to water.

WATER

• What are you thankful for with water?
• Why are you thankful for water?

I am so grateful and thankful and full of joy that every morning I can take a hot shower. That anytime I want to take a hot shower, I can take a hot shower.

So grateful, thankful, full of joy that every time I want to feel better physically, I can take a hot shower.

I’m a swimmer and I love to swim. I’m so grateful, thankful, full of joy that I have water that I can swim in.

The next thing I think of is the sea. I’m so grateful, thankful and full of joy that I have an apartment on the sea that I can go there at any time and enjoy the sea from my balcony.

What are you thankful for with water? I’m so grateful, thankful, full of joy that water can cleanse my energy. Every time I go into the sea, I go swimming I just feel cleansed same with showers. Water is very cleansing.

Do you enjoy taking a bath. I’m so grateful, thankful and full of joy that anytime I want to take a hot soaking bath full of essential oils and epsom salts that that is possible.

Isn’t this fun? These are simple things but powerful to shift energy. Thinking the details and feeling the emotions helps to anchor in, even more, a sense of gratitude.

When you are ready, write down EARTH on your piece of paper and think about what are you thankful for with earth.

I am so thankful, grateful, and full of joy to walk on the earth, feel the earth’s energy through my feet, and feel grounded. I love feeling grounded.

My zodiac is an earth element so I really really feel attracted to being grounded.

What does it mean to be grounded?

For me, I’m so thankful, grateful, and full of joy to be organized, to have a beautiful flat to live in. I’m so grateful, thankful, full of joy I have this office space here that keeps me grounded and helps me feel supported as I create videos for my followers. I’m so grateful, thankful, and full of joy that at any time I want, I can walk outside in nature in a beautiful park that is next to my flat.

What comes to your mind as you think of the earth element? I am so grateful, thankful, and full of joy for the opportunities that I’ve had to visit national parks, see nature in all of its glory.

Our final element is fire so we’ll go ahead and write down fire onto the piece of paper. Oh, fire, fire, fire! I love feeling warm, don’t you?

Who doesn’t love to feel warm, right? When I think of a fire and the warmth from a fire, I am super thankful. I immediately feel love from warmth, don’t you?

I am so grateful, thankful and full of joy for the sun, for the warmth that I feel from the sun especially in the morning when I go outside. I love feeling the sun on my face and feel on my back.

I’m so grateful, thankful, full of joy for warmth, for heat. I’m so thankful, grateful, full joy for hot peppers.

That can be tied into the earth element. I’m so grateful, thankful and full of joy for my body.

Journal what are you thankful for with the element fire?

So grateful, thankful, full of joy that my body has the ability to walk, to take me outside, to swim in the sea.

You see we can go full circle with the elements. One element easily leads into another.

How does gratitude raise your vibration?

If you’re like me, you want to understand why and how something works before you take the time to do it in order to know if the effects are really worth the effort that you put in.

Think of the moment when you feel sincere gratitude, what does that feel like?

What emotions do you feel when you are grateful, full of joy, love just bursting from your heart, bubbling out.

Think about the last time you were so super thankful you couldn’t even contain yourself.

At that moment, we feel that we have something that we didn’t have before. We feel like we have a solution, the results, maybe something that we were working so hard for and it finally happened.

We’re most likely also feeling peace, relief, wholeness, connection, love, happiness, joy.

Share in the comments below, what emotions you feel when you are grateful.

In that moment of gratitude you allowed yourself to receive, you are open for something new, for some change and you’re open to love.

You’re open to gratitude.

These are all good feelings. It’s really difficult to feel bad at the same time that you’re feeling grateful. It doesn’t quite work.

Now, let’s think about what we are not feeling in that moment when we have so much gratitude. We’re not feeling a sense of lack. We’re not feeling at that moment that we’re not enough. We’re feeling grateful and so thankful that we have added value. So keep in mind that gratitude is not just the words “thank you,” it’s the emotions and the feelings behind those words.

Gratitude is feeling appreciation for something that you value. If you don’t feel you, yourself are something of value, it would be difficult for you to understand how someone can appreciate you or what you have to offer.

Practicing gratitude is being in the present moment. It’s being grateful and thankful for what is currently happening to you in your reality. It’s being grateful and thankful for the moments in the past that brought you to this specific place in time in your life right now.

Gratitude allows you to let go of the resistance of receiving. If you find yourself having a difficult time to receive, the power of gratitude will help open up that door of allowing you to receive.

Gratitude is like a muscle. If you haven’t been using it, it’s going to be a little difficult at first to start feeling and being thankful for things right now.

Once you start using gratitude, it’s going to be a lot easier and easier for you to receive. At first, you may reach for something large and easy, “Oh I’m so thankful for my life,” but what we need to do is actually be thankful for details within that umbrella.

It’s great to be thankful for something large but to really anchor in those emotions, is to think of five specific details of why you are thankful. This helps the emotions really come to the surface and it helps anchor in that feeling of gratitude.

When you feel that gratitude, you can immediately feel a shift in your vibration. It’s like a vibrational tune-up and it’s so necessary for energetic hygiene.

Gratitude has the power to transform any situation. It can take us out of that vortex of fear and negativity that’s just absolutely sucking our energy out like a vampire and give us a renewed sense of faith, hope and joy. Just feel it in your heart bubbling up.

So how can you incorporate a daily gratitude practice? A really easy way is to actually journal. Take a piece of paper, pen and write down what you’re thankful for. Start with something big if you want but don’t forget that you want to have five specific details of what you’re thankful for from that bigger topic and you want to write “I’m so grateful, thankful for …” and write down what you’re so grateful and thankful for and let those feelings and emotions come up.

Another way you can incorporate a gratitude practice is to have a gratitude jar and to write down on a little piece of paper what you’re grateful and thankful for and you can put it in the jar. That way you can see the jar get full, full, full with more of what you’re thankful for and you can visually see how it grows.

A very easy way to create a gratitude practice is right before you fall asleep, think of five things you’re thankful for during that day.

Gratitude is also a great manifestation tool. Feel that sense of gratitude for specific things that you want to manifest in the future, say it’s a new car.

“I’m so grateful and thankful for my mini countryman,” or whatever car it is that you want to have. Feel how you’re so grateful and thankful for that key in your hand, so grateful and thankful for how the steering wheel feels in your hand. You’re so grateful and thankful for on those rainy days that you’re able to be in a car and you don’t have to walk outside in the rain. Those types of things. Really get specific about what you’re thankful for. That way you can use gratitude for your manifestation practice.

I am so grateful, thankful and full of joy that you watched this video to the end. I’ve created a wonderful Raise Your Vibration guidebook that goes into more detail on how to create a guided gratitude practice and more to raise your vibration on a daily basis.
