Gratitude That Changes Your Nervous System (The Gratitude Soak)
What if gratitude wasn’t something you listed, but something you entered?
In today’s episode, I’m sharing a simple practice I call a gratitude soak—a way to move beyond surface-level gratitude and into the actual felt experience of thankfulness in your body.
This isn’t about forcing positivity or pretending things are fine. It’s about allowing your nervous system and brain to receive what is already good, steady, and present.
When you practice gratitude as a felt sense, something powerful happens:
Your stress response softens
Your mind becomes less reactive
Your heart opens without effort
Old emotional grooves begin to rewire
In this episode, I’ll walk you through:
Why gratitude lists often fall short
The difference between thinking gratitude and feeling gratitude
How a gratitude soak gently rewires your brain
A simple way to practice this in just five minutes
✨ Practice Invitation:
I recommend doing the gratitude soak for five minutes, three times a day—morning, afternoon, and evening. Think of it as emotional nourishment, not another task to get right.
This practice pairs beautifully with inner healing, emotional regulation, and cultivating spiritual authority—especially if you’ve been feeling tense, disconnected, or worn down.
