Gratitude Meditation

Sorry I have not written in so long. I just wanted to apoligize, but I shall not make any excuses. On With entry! Yesterday I was doing I yoga class with my mom, kinda showing the different asanas while my mom taught, at the end we did Shivasana or gratitude meditation. I hadn't done the ful l shivasana since last february. When ever I would do it there I would always fall asleep, and when I was not sweetly dozing I never could fully do the meditation. I could say "Thank you leg" and I could sorta feel my skin but that was the extent of my bodily gratitude.
Last night though was different, it was.... well I will tell you. Now I will admit it and write it here and now, I have a horribly active mind. It just won't shut up! I can barely sit still all the time, although that one is getting better, I mean I can sit still, but I always have to have something to do. I learned how to knit, embroider, and all sorts of other things because of this. But last night when I lay down flat on my yoga mat... I felt myself meld with the floor. And then I started to do the actual gratitude. When I gave gratitude I could practically waves of gratitude washing every bit of my foot, I could clearly hold in my mind's eye my foot! I know that sounds strange, but seriously close your eyes (after I finish explaining!) and put your awareness on your foot, do not THINK about your foot, that's your mind. Put all your wareness on your foot. Do it now!
Ok you had better have just did it when you are reading this scentence, anyway could you seriously put your awareness where you aware for just a few seconds of every ligiment, even if you didn't know that names, every bone, the cells, the warm blood rushing through, the musel, the skin, every little part all at the same time not thinking but being aware? Well I was aware thats what what so amazing. And it wasn't just my foot either, it was like that all the way up my body! It was just so cool. It was also more then just awareness besides being aware it was like I could see a 3D picture of each part, but not with my eyes.... I geuss thats awareness. I felt so good afterwords and for the rest of the night. So yep! Just wanted to share!!
