In this Episode, Myrah and Robindra discuss the secret formula to unlocking your Gratitude practise to amplify your manifestations. As we celebrate the beginning of the last month of 2023 one of the most impactful and powerful rituals that I am adding to my life right now is a Gratitude practise.I know it hasn't been an easy year, the head winds we all faced and are facing now are not the types of challenges we have faced before.  Yet even amongst all that you are here and you are ready to keep going and evolving. What we have learned through the eclipse season was that we no longer want to waste time on things that are no longer for us. Through the retrograde season this year we started to slow down to re-organize our lives in a way that the things that we really want can find us. In this last 30 days or so of the year let's bring in a gratitude season to create the space to create the magic back into our lives. Gratitude really speeds up our path to manifesting the things we are yearning for from the heart space. Asking empowering questions is one way to shift your perspective.How can I feel even better in my body by the end of the year?For me, this means a daily walk in nature, daily yoga and confessions I said yes to a friend of mine who has invited me to this Brazilian Circuit Training class that's been kicking my butt on the daily. Creating new energetic containersAnother part of my gratitude practise has been to create new energetic containers that are nourishing to my nervous system and life.  A new energetic container that I just created with my husband @Robindra is that we are now recording weekly podcasts to deep dive into more concepts that we are working on. It's called Portal To Bloom and I'll share a link below.  It's basically what I have been sharing in the newsletter but in video/audio format and of course much deeper.It is important to develop a relationship with Gratitude.Relationships take time to build. Relationships take practise. Relationships take consistency.This relationship with Gratitude requires us to weed the garden. To remove what is not necessary and/or no longer serving us. We all have pent up anger, frustration, thoughts and ideas.  We are all being drowned in more information and media than we have ever consumed before. If we try to do any sort of gratitude practise from this space it will feel more like you are just going through the motions.  The true secret to taking your Gratitude practise to the next level is to have a practise to clean and clear your mind first and then doing the writing, the visualizing and speaking out loud what you are grateful for. Coming this pure place is very activating. Support the showwww.myrahpenaloza.comInstagram @myrahpenaloza & @robindra

TRY THIS! Take a breath in, say to yourself HEALING. Exhale. Take another deep breath in and say to yourself HEALTH. Exhale. Take another deep breath in, say to yourself, STRENGTH. Exhale. Take another deep breath in, say to yourself, SOUL LIGHT. Exhale. Take another deep breath in saying to yourself, I AM COURAGEOUS, I AM STRONG, I AM EXPANDING. Exhale.
