Sending you all much gratitude - Today’s practice is to bow in reverence of what you are grateful for. Bowing is sacred in many traditions. To touch your forehead to the earth and give thanks. In India it’s called pranam, in Yoga - we practice the Sun Salutation; within one Sun Salutation there are 7 bows. Bow in a way that feels sacred and comfortable for you.

Below is a graphic of Sun Salutation A - you can practice this as your bow as many times as you’d like.

Also below is a beautiful prayer that I found in the book To Bless the Space Between Us by John O’Donohue

Prayer before meal

As we begin this meal with grace,

Let us become aware of the memory

Carried inside the food before us:

The quiver of the seed

Awakening in the earth,

Unfolding in a trust of roots

And slender stems of growth,

On its voyage toward harvest,

The kiss of the rain and surge of sun;

The innocence of animal soul

That never spoke a word,

Nourished by the earth

To become today our food;

The work of all the strangers

Whose hands prepared it,

The privilege of wealth and health

That enables us to feast and celebrate.

Much Love,

A
