Inner Peace with Alanis Morissette

As part of a coaching assignment, my coach Arjuna Ardagh invited me to identify songs that elicited a wide array of feelings and emotions. He suggested Alanis Morissette’s Thank You for the song to elicit gratitude. Upon my first listen, I didn’t quite get why this song was such a “good match” for gratitude. Afterall, Alanis Morissette doesn’t come close to the soothing nature of Cecilia’s Amazing Grace. But, then I started listening more closely to the lyrics. I’ve been hooked on this song ever since. Our deepest inner peace comes when we can embrace every aspect of our humanity. We take it a step deeper when we find gratitude for even the less obvious gifts of terror, disillusionment, frailty and consequence. Are you embracing the gifts of every aspect of your humanity? I invite you to download the song, “Thank You” by Alanis Morissette from iTunes, and listen deeply to the words. Not just once, but again and again. You may soon be experiencing a more profound sense of inner peace as you acknowledge the gifts named in this song.
