17: Gratitude, Retain the Wisdom and Leave the Pain

Love in the Mirror Podcast with Shannon Bodie (Arnett) NBC-HWC

Inside episode 17, Shannon explores ways we can use gratitude as a lens for learning, leaving behind painful patterns and bringing the wisdom with us.
This episode mirrors the final class of the Love in the Mirror Course, and how members' examples in real time have helped them to find greater joy as they relate to themselves and others through gratitude practice.
You'll hear examples of how members have been able to thank previously challenging relationships for the lessons, and for the new warrior spirits they have found within themselves as they face current challenges. In short, what we are taught once and can see as a pattern, we can then decide consciously if we need to learn this way or if we can set a new reality! Are you tired of the same pattern? Are you in a situation where gratitude is difficult? You are NOT alone. Gratitude may be the quirky way to open up new possibilities! This never means we accept mistreatment, but we can see more clearly with gratitude where we can chose, and where we have power in a situation.
You'll hear at the end of the podcast a gratitude practice meditation, where the most powerful element of shining gratitude on ourselves is offered. This tool for personal transformation, thanking the versions of ourselves and our teachers in relationships can be a deep relief and opening into what serves us best. You get to decide what to bring with you. You get to retain the wisdom from previous experiences and leave the pain as you thank YOURSELF and those that have taught you for what's transpired!
