Below is a powerful meditation for expressing gratitude towards others:
Decide consciously that you will respond with pure love and gratitude for the next couple of days, whenever you encounter or deal with people, situations; whenever you speak or do anything, whatever the situation may be. Just for two days, decide not to react the way you have been reacting all these years. Decide that you will respond only with pure, unassuming love.
You will see that all of your relationships take a turn for the better. Automatically you will start seeing each and every person as a unique creation of Existence, as a reflection of the Divine. You will feel deeply connected to everyone and everything around you.
You will also find tremendous compassion towards everything around you. If you were a person who gets angry easily, you will find the anger disappearing. All the energy that was invested in other negative emotions will get released with this growing gratitude. You will be a compassionate and loving person.
Whenever you feel grateful to the people in your relationships, you will never try to possess them. You will look at them as beautiful individuals and leave it at that.
