Cultivating gratitude is such an important spiritual practice. The next time you feel funky or sad, tune in to all of the things that you are grateful for, and see if that helps to transform your state. Lately I’ve seen the phrase “attitude of gratitude,” and I think that is a wonderful intention for life.

Today I am feeling incredible Gratitude for so many things. A few examples from my gratitude list: this cup of hot banch tea with maple syrup that I’m sipping as I type, the new flower clip I’m wearing in my headband (from Cute as a Button Design), the sun shining on the pine tree outside, the Reiki energy healings that I gave this morning, my bright sons, and the abundance of produce I bought at the farmers’ market yesterday. I could go on and on and on and on, and… ON!

From this state of gratitude I plan to pour pure organic pomegranate juice for my sons and me tonight, so we can raise our glasses high at the Fall Equinox at 8:08pm (PST). And while we sleep tonight, the Harvest Moon will bless this land with its Light.

I also give thanks today for all of you who read this Teja Blog. I write these articles with the intention to spread Light. Recently several people have expressed their gratitude for this blog, and for that I bow down with Gratitude.

Happy Harvest Moon to you all.

May all beings everywhere have food to eat each day.

May all beings everywhere know Peace and Happiness.

Om Shanti (Peace),

Yogini Tejaswini
