Simple technique to express gratitude.

Simple technique to express gratitude.

I learnt this simple technique of expressing gratitude from a primary school teacher from Australia, which is fun and relaxing and at the same time it helps one to come out of emotions stuck inside, which are craving to be released.

This technique requires a group of people and would be real fun and effective.

We can have  a group of  5 people or more sitting or standing in a circle. It would be nice if there is spot where one can see the sun or the moon rise or set. Or on the bank of a river or a sea shore or could be in a garden or some place which opens up to the sky and gives a feeling of vastness. It can also be done indoors and would still be fun and relaxing.

The group chooses a subject to express thanks. Let's take the example of thanking this universe - the mother of our existence.

Thanking the universe:  every one will open up their arams as though to give a big hug to some one. Then one by one will say something thanking the universe:

May the first one in the group will say : O universe... Thank you for.... Providing me this earth.

The second one .... O universe... Thank you for.... Providing me with a beautiful nature.

The next one : O universe... Thank you for.... Providing me a nice home.

And so on and so forth. The subject being thanked can be anything from the nature to people or friends, parents, a pet anything that comes to mind at that time when one says loudly thank you for......

I feel this technique can be used  for expressing different emotions ..   Either positive or negetive emotions...... . love, anger, happiness, joy,  jealousy, hatred, liking, pain, hurt, apathy, sympathy, empathy and host of emotions. It can be used for even expressing some simple things that you like to express.

Try this you will enjoy and feel good and lighter at the end of the session... And most times you will be laughing saying something!

Try.. There is no harm!
