Listen "Gratitude"
Episode Synopsis
This week, Dr. J.D. Schramm dives deep into the subtle but powerful distinction between gratitude and appreciation. Using the beautiful metaphor of a woven tapestry, J.D. illustrates how gratitude serves as the internal foundation (the warp), while appreciation is the active, external expression that brings texture and color to our lives (the woof). Dr. Schramm shares personal stories to demonstrate the spiritual principle that "what you appreciate, appreciates." He also breaks down the hard science behind these practices, explaining how authentic gratitude can literally rewire our brains, lower cortisol, and boost our overall well-being. This talk was recorded live at Unity San Francisco on November 23rd, 2025.
