As we move through these weeks of the waning moon our focus of gratitude turns outward as we explore our perception of others and the world around us. It is easy to express gratitude toward others when we are getting what we think we want, or when things are going our way. This is only a tiny part of the gift of Thanking Truth. We receive the gift of greater consciousness when we can be grateful for the whole of the Truth, which may be very different from our original perceptions and beliefs--as was noted in yesterday's post,
What DOES it mean to look for the Truth in every situation and experience, especially those that are challenging in some way? We can start with a question teacher and writer Byron Katie asks, "Is it really true?" Through deeper exploration we often find the Truth is different than our personal perception and experience. We come to understand how important our life experiences have been/are for the growth and healing of our being. This space of expanded understanding of what is reality is the place where we truly and deeply feel gratitude for the Truth.
Self Reflection: Check out Byron Katie's guided questions here in her process called: The Work. Choose one current belief which is challenging you and explore "Is it really true?"
