14 Tips for Expressing Gratefulness

The word gratitude means something different to everyone.  It could mean having a sense of wonder, or appreciation; looking on the bright side of a setback, or being able to picture and fathom abundance.  It could mean thanking God or someone else in your life; or ‘counting your blessings.’ It may mean savoring; not taking things for granted.  It is coping, and it is present-oriented.

Studies have been done to show that maintaining a sense of gratefulness is beneficial for overall physical and mental health and well-being.   In this hustle and bustle world that we live in, you may think you don’t have time for one more thing.  On the contrary.  Expressing gratitude can take as little as 1 minute and the rewards could last a lifetime.  Being grateful and not expressing it is like wrapping a gift and not giving it.

 Here are several options to help you get started on expressing your gratefulness.

1. Write gratitude letters to people who mean the most to you.  Whether you send them or not is not important.

2. Express gratitude in person by visiting a friend or relative.

3. Devote one time a day to gratitude – at the beginning of meals, bedtime or when your loved one arrives home

4. Journal daily.  Many studies have shown the powerful and positive effects journaling can have on physical and mental health when done just a few times a week.

5. Be respectful of others’ space and possessions.    

6. Give a hug.  Human touch is one of the most powerful acts in the universe. Without it, we would not survive.

7. Provide encouragement and lift someone up when they need it.

8. Give a compliment.  Everyone needs to be praised from time to time.

9. Share your skills and knowledge.  We are all gifted in a different way. 

10. Perform random acts of kindness.  Maybe it will start a positive ripple effect.

11. BE FULLY PRESENT and listen intently to others.  Show them that what they have to say is important.

12. Be positive.

13. Smile often.  It will elevate your overall frequency.

14. Always remember: “THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING TO BE GRATEFUL FOR.”

Don’t limit your expressions of gratitude to November and Thanksgiving.  Instead, choose to be grateful year-round.  When you can find at least one thing to be grateful for each and every day, you will discover that your entire world will begin to change for the better.  Your outlook will become more positive as new opportunities begin to open up for you, simply by taking on an attitude of gratitude.

WHAT IS SOUND HEALING?

Sound Healing, through various techniques and technologies, is the educated and conscious use of the energy of sound to reach identified goals and promote wellness in the human system – including the expansion of consciousness. Sound Healing is founded on the premise that all matter is vibrating at specific frequencies. Science has proven that sound, or vibration, has a strong impact upon substance. For example, the study of Cymatics has shown how sound creates geometric patterns in matter. Dr. Emoto has proven that sound changes the molecular structure of water. However, more importantly, sound changes consciousness. Many ancient civilizations and modern indigenous cultures have used sound to heal and access higher levels of consciousness for thousands of years.

The universe is always in a state of vibration, and each thing generates its own frequency including you. Nikola Tesla stated “If you want to find the secrets to the universe think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” Vibration, frequency and energy effect us all. Learning to tap into which frequencies and vibrations effect us for our benefit is vital to our well-being. Our thoughts, emotions, physical body, mental body, and spiritual body all vibrate at different levels that are unique to us. Keeping them at balanced levels will allow you to stay in a constant state of wellness when you understand these ancient teachings. This is no new information. Since the beginning of man’s creation, they have been taught these concepts and implemented them into their everyday life.

There are a wide range of techniques that utilize sound as a tool for change. The most common and basic use of sound is for meditation and relaxation. Chanting, toning and overtone singing are some of the most powerful methods for resonating sound throughout the body. The use of nature sounds and natural instruments, such as crystal or Tibetan bowls and tuning forks, have specific healing frequencies and harmonics. Drumming and rhythm are now used by corporations to release stress and build team consciousness. Shamanic drumming takes people into altered states of consciousness. Sound is now being used by clinical psychologists to help children with certain learning disabilities. Binaural beat frequencies are used to entrain people into very specific states of consciousness. Sound is used to alter brainwave states to help people with sleep disorders and facilitate creative expression. Listening to one’s own root frequency enables an individual to create a more centered and grounded awareness within their life. Sound and music are also used to help with difficult life transitions, including birth and death. The medical community also uses sound and music in a variety of applications such as during surgery to minimize the use of anesthesia, and to break up kidney and gall stones. Doctors are now finding the resonant frequency of organs in order to help vibrate them back into a healthy state. More exciting is cutting-edge research that shows how sound might be used to disintegrate diseases such as cancer.

Perhaps most exciting is the use of sound and music to transform consciousness – First, to release deep emotional issues; then, to more consistently resonate the vibrations of love and light — including gratitude, compassion, joy and Universal Love. Ultimately, to use sound to bring us into a state of oneness with everyone and everything in the Universe.
