Several years ago, I was listening to a tape about Naikan Therapy; one exercise it suggested was spending the day being grateful for everything that was part of one’s day — “thank you toothbrush, thank you tires, thank you computer, thank you air, etc… It was a peak experience, with even an all too brief glimpse into enlightenment.
Robert Emmons research has been paramount in bringing attention to the importance of gratitude; folks who keep gratitude journals sleep 25% better. (And since sleep is the cornerstone to health, you can rest assured that thinking about things you are grateful for before going to sleep at night — counting your blessings — will increase your health and your positive dreams…. Your dreams often reflect your health and your state of mind.
And thank you, reader…
