"Morning Body Gratitude"
The Sankalp
Before this day begins, I thank my body for carrying me — every breath, every heartbeat, every quiet act of endurance.
Why This Matters
The Taittiriya Upanishad speaks of the Annamaya Kosha — the physical sheath as the outermost layer of the Self. Gratitude toward it is the beginning of holistic health.
