The Energy of Gratitude and Appreciation

Special Message from Master Chunyi Lin

 This time of year, in the northern hemisphere, nature is focusing energy deep in the roots of plants and trees, storing it in the earth for the growing season that will come again in spring.

Winter energy is coming on now and because of this transition the body, too, wants to store energy so the body automatically starts to limit exciting movements outside.

When that happens, emotionally, people often feel kind of lonely or sad, or depressed. Thanksgiving is a great healing time to help to balance this energy through gratitude and appreciation.

Thanking others, thanking yourself, thanking nature can help to balance the loneliness, grief, anxiety, or depression and transform this energy into something very healing and supportive.

People who have had difficulties in the past year with relationships this is a great time to mend those difficulties.

When you open your heart and tell people how much you appreciate them – then healing energy is already there for you and for them. And, they can take in that energy in so many more ways than you can possibly imagine.

Thanksgiving is a wonderful time for family and friends getting together to celebrate their relationships and to share the joy and happiness of what has been done and look forward to even greater joy and happiness in the New Year to come. This is just the beginning of a big opening with the heart.

Sometimes people are apprehensive about Thanksgiving gatherings, concerned about opening old wounds, old memories that were not good.

This is a perfect time to Let Go of the negative messages from those old stories. They are not real anymore and if you focus on the negative side your body will produce something that makes you feel these old things are still real for you. They are not.

If you want happiness and joy you appreciate what you have learned from those experiences – you honor the experiences – learn from them and move on promising yourself to act better, to react better in the future. By doing so you change the energy of those negative stories into something positive helping you to live a better life both now and in the future.

Before you go to your Thanksgiving gathering (or anywhere) visualize everyone being happy and joyful – bathing every person and the place you are going, in the light - visualizing they are all happy, joyful and smiling. You are a love radiator. Every cell in your body is radiating love. This love is very powerful. So, put a smile on your face, be a good listener, and appreciate and be grateful for each moment.

Gratitude and appreciation are very powerful thoughts, very powerful words. They are aspects of unconditional love, the most powerful force the world possesses.

To open your heart even more, to make the power of your love even stronger, I encourage you to express your gratitude and appreciation as often as you can.

Try this and see what happens. Each day for the next month find at least ten things to be grateful for and express your appreciation for them.

You can express your appreciation to the sun for its life-giving light. You can express your appreciation for the comfortable chair you like sitting in.

You can express your appreciation for the broken sidewalk outside your house because it reminds you to be careful when you walk.

You can express your gratitude for your house plant, for your pet, for the pen you write with, for your toothbrush, for anything or everything.

The key is to say so. Say it out loud or say it in your heart but say it again and again – “I appreciate you.” “I am so thankful for you.” “I bless you as you have blessed me.”

Try it and see what happens. See how your love grows, how your happiness grows, how your life changes.

And, everyone wants more gratitude, more appreciation, more blessings coming back to them.

Many Blessings,

Chunyi Lin
