At the time of this podcast release we are experiencing a global pandemic with the Corona Virus but Catherine and I recorded weeks before any of us knew what was happening. Now, the term 'social distancing' has become a part of our daily vocabulary. Daily news briefings of the number of cases worldwide and the number of deaths has left many paralyzed by the unknown. Fear is evident on social media. Could Gratitude have any place in our minds today? I say YES... now is precisely the time for it!  Literature on the neuroscience of happiness and positive neuroplasticity frequently cite the importance of adopting a gratitude practice as a fundamental tool to impact mood, improve wellbeing, and reverse the brains negativity bias.  Catherine shrares, "My connection to Gratitude as a spiritual practice is my passion and what I love to guide and teach people. Knowing what I know now about the enneagram, I'm not surprised that it's had such an impact on me as a practice, as it's of course the antidote to envy and focusing on whats missing!!  Gratitude is now such a big part of my life that I coach people to bring it into their lives and I work part-time as a Gratitude Consultant, as well as a Reiki Master and Intuitive Counsellor. Last year I was lucky enough to present my research at the Science and Non-Duality Conference in California." **See Attached Poster from that presentation.** Catherine can be found at: www.catherinerobertson.org Instagram: @60daygratitudechallenge Facebook: Catherine Robertson - Reiki Practitioner
