Jay Shri Krishna 6/3/2014. Gratitude is an immensely powerful force that we can use to expand our happiness, create loving relationships, and even improve our health. Many scientific studies, including research by renowned psychologists Robert Emmons and Michael McCullough, have found that people who consciously focus on gratitude, experience greater emotional wellbeing and physical health than those who don’t. In comparison with control groups, those who cultivated a grateful outlook: felt better about their lives as a whole, experienced greater levels of joy and happiness, felt optimistic about the future, got sick less often, could exercised more regularly, had more energy, enthusiasm, determination, and focus, made greater progress toward achieving important personal goals, slept better and awoke feeling refreshed, felt stronger during trying times, enjoyed closer family ties, were more likely to help others and offer emotional support, experienced fewer symptoms of stress. If you want more happiness, joy, and energy, gratitude is clearly a crucial quality to cultivate. It is a fullness of heart that moves us from limitation and fear to expansion and love. What is a miracle? Author Marianne Williamson says a miracle is a shift in perception from fear to love. The root of the word “religion” is religio , which means to “bind back. ” I think the realm of consciousness, we are most hunger for, is a return to something basic and fundamental within us. When we’re appreciating something, our ego moves out of the way and we connect with our soul, it is like rebooting your soul. Gratitude brings your attention into the present, which is the only place where miracles can unfold. The deeper your appreciation, the more you see with the eyes of the soul and the more our life flows in harmony with the creative power of the universe. So practice. It is free, penniless. May God Bless you.
