A magical mantra was nurturing in the garden of my mind.

I went on a self-seeking journey, finding, who am I?

letting go of everything attached to my name:

催眠师、能量治疗师，

intimate relationships, attachment to family,

So what was this magical mantra that transformed my life for better?

"Thank you" were the two simple words

that filled the space between my ears like a music in my head.

它回荡在我耳边就像 荡漾在我脑海里的音乐。

This was experienced profoundly during the pandemic,

这在大流行期间就深有体会，

as everyone connected to me

因为与我有关的每个人

was filled with fear and doubt and anxiety,

都充满了恐惧、怀疑和焦虑，

and I had to do something different.

而我不得不做些不同的事情。

The first thought came to my mind, first thing in the morning as I woke up,

我早上醒来首先想到第一件事

was, "Thank you."

就是，“谢谢”。

And the last thought occupied my mind when I went to sleep at night

当我晚上睡觉时，

我最后的一个想法也是，“谢谢”。

was, "Thank you."

I was thinking, "Thank you"

当我吃饭、喝水、

when I ate, when I drank, when I worked,

工作、走路、静坐时，

when I walked, sat silently,

when I consumed every man-made material.

当我使用每一个人造的物品时 都会感谢，

It was like a music in my mind.

感谢就像我心中的音乐。

Sometimes I said the word "thank you" loudly

有时我甚至会大声地 说出 “谢谢” 这个词，

even to inanimate objects like sun and the moon and the stars,

甚至是对着非生命体， 如太阳和月亮，

以及星星，鸟类，蝴蝶，树木，

birds, butterflies, trees,

little creatures in the garden

花园中的小动物都没有生命， 就像我在问候它们一样。

as if I was greeting them.

When you say "thank you,"

it creates a harmony between you

and the external condition under observation.

It may be initially just a word running in your head

without a true feeling of gratitude in your heart.

A word is a sound,

一个词就一种声音，

So when you keep thinking, "Thank you,"

after a while, that energy start penetrating

into your heart center and the rest of the body.

If it gets affected by external conditions,
