Listen to this if you have a complicated relationship with practicing gratitude and learn how to turn a robotic gratitude practice into an embodied one. 

In this podcast, I share the evolution of my relationship with gratitude from a pretentious one -> a complete separation -> to now an embodied practice. 

The poem mentioned in the podcast from Rilke's book of hours:

How surely gravity's law, 
strong as an ocean current
takes hold of even the smallest thing
and pulls it toward the heart of the world

Each thing
each stone, blossom, child
is held in place
only we, in our arrogance, 
push out beyond what we each belong to
for some empty freedom

If we surrender to earth's intelligence 
we could rise up rooted, like trees
Instead, we entangle ourselves in knots of our own making.
and struggle, lonely and confused

So, like children, we begin again.
to learn from the things, 
because they are in God's heart
they have never left him

This is what the things can teach us
to fall
patiently to trust our heaviness, 
Even a bird has to do that 
before he can fly

Thank you for tuning in and would love to stay connected with you over on my website www.hedishah.com
