59. Daily Heart Focused Gratitude Practice

As we approach the holiday season, I want to offer a practice that feels really supportive and grounded. In this episode, I illustrate ways to embody gratitude and stream it to and from your heart center. It’s no secret that gratitude has powerful healing energy. When you are truly in gratitude and allow yourself to sit in that feeling, it shifts your entire frequency. When you're feeling appreciation and gratitude, the reward center of your brain lights up and releases dopamine, the feel-good neurotransmitter in the brain. You can use focus, breath, and visualization to harness the self-healing powers of your mind. I break down the four qualities of a healthy breath and share tools to regulate your inhales and exhales. I walk you through a heart focused breathing exercise that you can tune into daily for just a few minutes, and I promise it will help you navigate these next couple of busy months. Listen in to learn more about heart focused breathing and other ways to heal through gratitude. If you are enjoying these conversations, please subscribe and spread the love by leaving a review and sharing it with your friends.Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, TuneIn, or on your favorite podcast platform. Topics Covered:What it means to really allow yourself to feel gratitude Lifestyle factors that shift the terrain of our mind-body system The most powerful way to connect to your spirit What breathing technique I use whenever I feel anxious or emotionally depleted How to gently guide your breath with emotions that release healing Get in Touch: My WebsiteInstagramSpecial offers: Download the Daily Vitality eBook at danafrost.com/daily-vitality/Credit:Podcast Production by the team at The Wave PodcastingMusic by Phoebe GreenlandPhotography by Amy Boyle PhotographyPodcast art by SimplyBe.
