Gratitude Meditation | Guided Practice to Raise Your Vibration & Increase Positive Energy
Gratitude is one of the highest energetic frequencies we can embody. It opens the heart, softens the mind, and gently guides us back to peace, connection, and abundance. Whether you’re beginning your morning, closing your day, or shifting out of overwhelm, this guided meditation will help you elevate your vibration through the simple but powerful act of appreciation.
Gratitude isn’t just something we feel — it’s an energy we can activate, expand, and live within.
Before you begin the guided meditation below, it’s helpful to understand that gratitude can show up in many forms. In my own practice, I often teach three powerful types of gratitude you can explore throughout your day:
1. Gratitude Because
For the blessings and goodness already present in your life.
2. Gratitude Despite
For the growth, lessons, or support you’ve received even during challenges.
3. Gratitude Before
The manifestation-based gratitude you feel in advance for the goals or desires you’re calling in.
While today’s meditation is beautifully simple and embodied, understanding these forms can deepen the way you feel and experience gratitude — both during your practice and long after it ends.

Prepare Your Space
Before you press play, take a moment to set the tone for your practice.
A few simple rituals can help you drop into the energy of gratitude more quickly:
Diffuse grounding oils like Ginger, Bergamot, or a Gratitude Blend
Hold a Heart Chakra crystal, such as Rose Quartz, to soften and open your heart
Find a comfortable position, letting your muscles relax and your breath deepen
These small steps help your body recognize that it’s safe to slow down, soften, and receive.

Carry This Gratitude Energy With You
After your meditation, take a moment to continue the energy with an affirmation. One of my favorites is:
