Reiki Thanksgiving Gratitude Ceremony

“Just for today, be grateful.” Gratitude heals our hearts and minds. Begin the holiday season with this gratitude practice and notice how gratitude opens your heart so you can easily recognize your blessings. This ceremony is an Iroquois Thanksgiving Address given to me by my reiki master teacher.

To participate, please prepare your candle for the ceremony. You will need the following supplies:

• Tea lights

• Center Candle

• Plate for the candles

• Something representing the earth to put on the plate around the center candle. For example, fresh flowers are often used by my teacher. Native Americans ceremonies typically use sage, soil, cornmeal, or tobacco - these can be placed on the plate with the candles.
