Gratitude is more than a feeling, it is a frequency! Gratitude can help you shift your perspective and find the silver lining in challenging situations, further raising your vibrational frequency. When we vibrate at the frequency of gratitude, we align ourselves with the energy of abundance.
As we meditate on the theme of gratitude, we allow the frequencies of the instruments to raise our vibrations.
