What if gratitude isn't just something you feel, but something you create more of every time you practice it?
In this grounding Mental Wellness Month meditation, Karena guides you through an 8-minute practice designed to help you reconnect with gratitude for your body, your breath, and your journey. Using breathwork, visualization, and mantras, this meditation invites you to pause and give thanks for all that has carried you to this moment. Perfect for finding beauty in the everyday, shifting your perspective, or simply celebrating all that you have and all that you are.
How do you cultivate gratitude as a way of living, not just a fleeting feeling?
Gratitude is a practice. And every time you acknowledge it, you create more of it.
