Imagine yourself connecting with somebody who you're always happy to see.
Maybe there's somebody you've missed because we all live far from each other these days and we're so busy.
So who is somebody,
Human or animal,
Just anybody,
Who we would be just so happy to spend time with?
And here they've just come in the door and we run over to them and we hug them and we feel that connection and we're just so happy.
So savor that happiness for a moment.
And now really allow yourself to just let yourself be happy,
To celebrate your happiness right now at the joy of connection.
And if little voices come in about,
Well,
I shouldn't really feel this happy or this,
That and the other.
One of my favorite mantras is,
I don't have to think about that right now.
So just savor this joy and celebrate that you're happy right now in this moment.
And now you might step it out to somebody you easily feel sympathetic joy for.
Imagine them connecting with somebody they've missed.
And now here that person walks in the door and so your friend or relative is so happy,
Runs and gives them a hug.
And you're just so happy for them.
You're watching them and you're just kind of grinning and smiling as you watch.
So you savor this moment.
Now you imagine somebody else you easily feel connected to.
Who might they have been missing recently and they would like to see?
Well,
In the door comes that person or animal.
And so they embrace and they're smiling ear to ear.
And as you're watching,
So are you.
And so you savor that moment.
And now think of somebody in this room.
Imagine them connecting with whoever they might love and be missing.
And as they connect,
You're so happy for them.
You're smiling too.
And now if your face isn't hurting too much from smiling,
We'll move to everyone in this neighborhood.
There's somebody they care about and they haven't seen for a long time,
I bet.
And now they're together with that person.
And they're just so happy.
And as they're smiling and beaming,
You can't help but smile right along with them.
Again,
Savoring this moment for just a bit longer.
We know that everybody in the whole state of New York has people they love,
Who they miss.
And finally,
They're together with them.
And so their hearts are soaring.
And as we watch this with our mind's eye,
We,
Our hearts soar right along with them.
Again,
Savor this moment.
Now we imagine everyone all over the world.
There are people they miss,
People that they want to connect with.
And even if they're not connecting with them in this linear time moment,
They have at some time had this wonderful reunion.
And so we celebrate that reunion with them right now.
Everyone all over the world.
We're so happy for them.
We can't help but smile.
Thank you.
