What do you call the prayers said at your meals?  Some call them “grace.”  It is by grace that the sick are healed, that
the lost find their way, and that the hopeless find love in their heart.  This love is yours for the taking, but you so
often miss your opportunities to experience it. 
Take your prayers at mealtime as an example.  How often they become an exercise in saying
the right thing.  “Thank you, God, for
this and that.” 

Trust us, your thanks
make a difference, but you can move them to a (w)holy new level by focusing on
the heart as you give your thanks in any situation.  Put
your focus there in your center and repeat, “I am so grateful for this and
that,” filling in the blank slowly and deliberately as you allow yourself to
actually feel your gratitude.  In so
doing, you are strengthening the connection between mind, body, and
Spirit. 

True gratitude brings you into alignment with your higher
Self.  Merely repeating words at the
level of the mind does not produce the same coherence.  Grace. 
It is a gift.  It is a gift that
you can bring to yourself and others when you express your gratitude with focus
from the heart.
