We can move and change our current mood state simply by choice.
We must remember that we have our free will to choose how we wish to feel in each moment.
And we can choose to heal hurts,
Shed anger,
And release sadness.
We can experience these emotions but then choose to move into a desired state of being and one that empowers our nature.
Begin wherever you are.
This practice can be experienced in a crowded room,
On a commuter train or bus,
In the middle of a boardroom or lying on your child's bed as you read their bedtime story.
It is a practice that you may become skilled at wherever you are so that you may use it as needed to live far more of the time as you truly want to feel.
Let's begin.
If you can,
Close your eyes to witness to know what is my mood state in this moment.
How am I feeling presently?
Just notice.
Notice the answer you receive from your intuitive wisdom as you ask the questions.
For a time,
Consider how you wish to feel.
Your choice to feel contentment,
Uplifted,
Calm.
Your choice to feel calm or any positive mood state will only help you for whatever is before you.
Choose it now.
Begin with your thought energy.
When we decide with conscious intention how we will feel,
It begins with what we tell ourselves.
Begin to know use I AM or I FEEL statements to define your desired mood state.
Feel your breath.
Let your breath be your focus.
As you breathe in,
Say your I AM or I FEEL statement that directs your mind to the way in which you will feel in your whole being.
When you choose how you want to feel,
You direct your prefrontal cortex to signal to your neurons and other parts of your brain and body.
The prefrontal cortex of your brain allows you to control your emotional responses through connections to your deep limbic brain.
This is one reason why it is so important for us to choose how we want to feel.
On your inhalation,
Say inwardly or aloud how you desire to feel using I AM and I FEEL.
On each out-breath,
Let the focus be on the feeling of your words.
Each time you choose how you want to feel,
Focus on the feeling of it.
Feel the effects of your words on each out-breath expressed and felt throughout your being.
In-breath,
I AM calm.
Out-breath,
Feel the effects of your words felt throughout your body.
In-breath,
I feel happiness.
Out-breath,
Let yourself witness the experience of these words felt in your body.
In-breath,
I feel alert and awake,
Energized and alive.
Out-breath,
Be aware of what sensations you feel.
Do this for a time on your own using the words that you choose to define how you feel.
Out-breath,
Feel the effects of your words felt throughout your being.
Out-breath,
Feel the effects of your words felt throughout your being.
In-breath and out-breath,
Let the words flow naturally and in the rhythm of your breathing.
Notice,
Observe,
Be at one with your breath.
Let your breath carry the new emotions that you feel.
Be the felt experience of your breath.
As you choose your emotions,
Feel the expansion of these in your being.
Choose,
Then,
Feel,
Thought and felt sensation.
Feel,
Then,
Feel,
Thought and feeling.
Enjoy the simple process of doing this.
Ride the ebb and flow of breath.
As you reinforce the new feelings you will hold.
This is how you choose how you feel.
Thank you for listening.
Namaste.
