GRATITUDE IS THE HEALER
Written October 2007
Today, many seek healing -- healing of some particular ill – financial, physical or mental. We want to rise to a higher place. We hope for peace. We hope for a better financial situation. We pray for the healing of our body. We seek some remedy for our grief. When a healing doesn’t come immediately, then discouragement causes us to fall further down into despair. However, there is a most joyful solution.
Here is the remedy: Simply find something in your life to be grateful for and be grateful for that “something” with all your heart. Gratitude will begin the healing process. Gratitude alone will begin your life anew. It takes persistence; but once you begin and then persist in your bettered thought, you will win the battle.
But, you say, I have nothing to be grateful for, look at where I am! If you think you have nothing to be grateful for, think again. It doesn’t matter where you are, you can choose to find some thing, no matter how small, for which to be grateful. You are reading this article. Be grateful for that. You have a computer or you wouldn’t be reading this article. Be grateful for that. You have electricity coming to your house or apartment or you wouldn’t have a computer. Be grateful for that. You can see and you can read. Those two things are enormous blessings.
The mere fact that you are alive and are part of this never-ending universe is something to ponder, and the fact that you are able to ponder, be grateful for that. Once you start looking for things to be grateful for, more will automatically appear. Gratitude acts like a magnet for good.
The beginning of healing truly is a simple matter of gratitude – a simple matter of saying “thank you” to the universe, or to your higher self, or to whatever or whomever you feel is your own special caretaker that provides for blessings in your life. If you are in trouble, you have temporarily forgotten that caretaker. The caretaker is there always. The caretaker never leaves. You’ve just temporarily ignored the caretaker by thinking more about your problems than thinking about what you have to be grateful for; so think of just one thing to be grateful for right now. Now, think of something else in your life to be grateful for. That’s right. Now another. Keep on adding, and as you add you will find more and more to be grateful for. Soon you will find that the treasure trove never ends.
Try it! It’s wonderful!
