Tip No. 5
Express gratitude as
a powerful antidote to fear.
When you give thanks, it is difficult to also
feel fear at the same time. A heartfelt sense of appreciation that
connects you with what is good and right in your life will help restore harmony and
balance in both your mind and your body.
Remember to
be thankful for the many blessings already present in your life.
"Both ancient teachings and modern medical
research agree that one of the quickest, most direct routes to restoring harmony and
balance in our lives is to foster gratitude and appreciation. The moment you shift from a
mind-state of negativity or judgment to one of appreciation, there are immediate effects
at many levels of your being: brain function becomes more balanced, harmonized, and
supple; your heart begins to pump in a much more coherent and harmonious rhythm; and
biochemical changes trigger a host of healthful balancing reactions throughout your
body."
"In the healing ways of indigenous people, the restorative power of gratitude was
well understood. A heart filled with gratitude generates actions and prayers that complete
the circle between the gift offered to us, the receiver of the gift, and the sacred source
of the gift. To offer prayers of thanksgiving is a gesture of rejoicing in discovering the
many gifts that life brings us."
