After trying to conceive for several years, and after the sad loss of our soulbaby (a 12 week loss), I turned to meditation and yoga. Slowly, I came out of the fog of depression stemming from that miscarriage. The dark days of winter grew lighter. I started seeing the beauty around me. The early signs of spring appeared; a red breasted Robin chirping happily on our fence, the warmth of the sun on my face, as I went on a restorative walk, and bright, yellow buds forming on our forsythia bush.
Being grateful, started being my way back to the living.
It was in that state, almost seventeen years ago, next month, that I finally conceived. I was shocked and surprised, but oh so grateful. After trying so hard to conceive month after month, it had just happened. Nine months later, I gave birth to our daughter Grace.
Grace is my daily reminder that being grateful is the key to manifesting anything you want. For when we are grateful, joy follows, and when we are in a joy filled contented space, we are capable of creating anything we want.
We are after all limitless in our ability to create.
Next month, Oprah and Deepak are offering another meditation challenge. It’s called, “Manifesting Grace through Gratitude.” I hope you will join me in this challenge and see if it will help you move towards what you desire most in your life.
And to help you get into the Ommming mood, check out the link the this You tube video, (Om chanting @528 Hz). My sister C, sent it to me the other day and I was absolutely thrilled! Years ago, C had given me a CD called, “The Eternal Om, ” and this You tube video has that same resonance. She called it a healing sound, but I know when you allow it to wash over you, it will pull you towards your golden cord. The cord that connects you to your most creative self and to everything in the Universe. When you are in that vibration, you can manifest ANYTHING. Come Om with me. (Thanks C for this vid link and always being my soul sister)
Until we connect again, may you be well, happy and peaceful.
Blessings from Hope
Beautiful post, Lovely idea! Will try this next time I am overstressed while studying.
Thank you Danielle. While driving the kids to school this week, we’ve been taking turns sharing what we are grateful for. I was happy to hear a few of them say, “an education, or school.” We are so fortunate in Canada to have the opportunity for a good education, so the next time you are getting stressed about an upcoming exam, or paper, shift that stress into gratitude and watch the skies clear. (P.S….we never shared our thoughts on gratitude while driving Harrison to school. I was always too busy lecturing him on the importance of being his best and not goofing off in school…but in hindsight, isn’t it always 20/20? I wished I had told him, how grateful I was to be driving him to school.)
