5 Simple Gratitude Meditation Techniques for Highly Sensitive People

Nov 21, 2025

In this grounding meditation, I'll guide you through mindfulness practices and breathwork designed to help you experience the practical benefits of equanimity and gratitude on your highly sensitive nervous system.

Authentic Appreciation and Equanimity Meditation for HSP

Gratitude isn't always a pinched smile frozen on your face while the mashed potatoes get cold and everyone goes around the table saying the same hollow phrases dripping with performative virtue. 

Learn some of the challenges faced by highly sensitive people, particularly people-pleasing and the need for authentic connection. Then learn why maintaining balance between giving and receiving will help you avoid burnout. Practicing gratitude and authentic generosity can significantly improve your mental and emotional resilience and help regulate your nervous system. Find out how these practices can elevate your sense of peace and support your mental health.

Through guided practices like:

  1. conscious breathing,

  2. humming,

  3. mindful receiving,

  4. visualization, and

  5. mudra,

you'll cultivate gratitude and generosity.
