A number of years ago, I did a forty day practice of labyrinth walks. Based on the astrology of this month into next month, I feel called to do a practice of gratitude, based on the theme of the day, for the next 40 days. The themes are based on a kabbalistic formula that I was given by Spirit, and which I used for 365 Days to Enlightenment. I may not post all of it here, but if you’d like to play the home game, here are the gratitude themes:
12/1/21: Joy
12/2/21: Creativity & Love
12/3/21: Follow Through
12/4/21: Helping Others
12/5/21: Goals
12/6/21: Being Present
12/7/21: Cleaning Up the Past
12/8/21: Letting Go
12/9/21: Changing Old Habits
12/10/21: Sharing Love
12/11/21: Play
12/12/21: Grace
12/13/21: Shifting Your Focus to the Now
12/14/21: Thinking Positively – I can’t think of anything that puts me in a more positive mindset than gratitude, so I am grateful for this practice. I am grateful that I actually have any tools to shift my thinking out of negativity, because my head likes to go there. I am grateful to have so many gifts in my life, which makes it easy to focus on the positive. I am grateful to be able to think at all, and to choose where my focus goes. I am grateful for meditation, which helps me detach from the negativity in my head. I am grateful for you, the person reading this.
“Man is a mental being, and to know this is the first step on the road to freedom and prosperity, for as long as you believe yourself to be primarily physical, a superior kind of animal, you will remain in bondage—in bondage, that is to say, to your own habits of thought, for there is no other bondage.”
