Gratitude is top of mind for many of us during the Thanksgiving holiday season. It is a time when we pause and reflect on gratitude. But what if we made gratitude part of our daily lives?
Through the simple practice of mindfulness, it is possible to develop greater awareness and the ability to focus our minds in a positive direction. It has been demonstrated both anecdotally and in studies that a gratitude practice can re-wire our brains and bring us into a more positive, balanced, and happier state of being.
In this in-depth conversation, Reverend Cameron Trimble and Buddhist teacher Dr. Isa Gucciardi will discuss how we can harness the power of positivity with a gratitude practice and how the Buddhist practice of mindfulness can support us in leading happier, healthier, and more fulfilling lives.
