Thank Your Cells

Close your eyes and take three deep breaths. Feel yourself settling into a state of gratitude and appreciation. Now imagine yourself standing in the presence of your cells. All 37 trillion of them. Gathered around you. Listening. And you begin to speak to them: "Thank you. Thank you for every moment you've been working for me. Thank you for the countless times you've repaired my body without me even knowing. Thank you for fighting off illness and protecting me from harm. Thank you for processing my thoughts, creating my consciousness, allowing me to think and feel and dream. Thank you for your tireless work, day and night, without rest, without complaint. Thank you for responding to my love and my gratitude. Thank you for being so intelligent, so wise, so perfectly designed to keep me alive. I see you now. I recognize you. I honor you." Feel the gratitude in your heart. Feel it flowing through your body. Your cells are listening. They're responding. They're glowing with recognition. Because they've been waiting for this. Waiting for you to acknowledge them. Waiting for you to say: "I see you. I thank you. I honor you." Now imagine sending this gratitude to every part of your body: To your heart, beating steadily, never stopping, never asking for thanks. To your lungs, breathing for you every moment of every day. To your immune cells, protecting you from invisible threats. To your neurons, creating your thoughts and your consciousness. To your digestive cells, nourishing you from every meal. To your skin cells, protecting you and renewing themselves constantly. To every cell, in every organ, in every system. "Thank you. I see you. I honor you. I celebrate you." Feel the response. Feel your cells brightening. Feel your body responding with vitality. This is what happens when you honor your cells with gratitude. They respond by taking even better care of you. It's a beautiful cycle of mutual appreciation and love. Take one more deep breath and carry this gratitude with you. When you're ready, slowly open your eyes, knowing that your cells have heard your thanks.
