Today's meditation is to remind you of all of the happy that is in your life. Whether you're feeling really joyous today or whether you're having maybe a not so great day. This meditation was written when I was feeling a little sad and I needed to be reminded of all of the good and so take this time just for you to find the happy and hopefully this brings you a little bit of joy in your day. So let's begin by taking a nice long slow inhale in through the nose open mouth let that fall out when you're ready and if it feels comfortable close your eyes you can also just gaze at the floor and let your eyes relax right now it's just about finding comfort in your body as you breathe in and out just noticing that gentle rise and fall in your belly as the air goes in and out don't try to manipulate it just yet just breathe into this moment now let's bring ourself into this meditation into this present moment by expelling your air out all of it out right now and now breathe in through the nose for one two three four out two three four now in for one two three four five out for one two three four five in for one two three four five six out for one two three four five six now in for seven two three four five six seven and release for seven two three four five six six seven now just breathe here breathing into this moment allowing your breath to find its natural rhythm just being here right now imagine a warm and glowing light at the center of your chest right at your heart this light is fueled by happiness it radiates joy allow this light to shine right now as you begin to focus on your inhale with each inhale imagine this bright light growing brighter and brighter warmer it's filling your entire chest with that feeling of happiness as you breathe in now switch over and focus on your exhales as you breathe out you release any tension or negativity dissolving into the air you're breathing in that warm happy light and you're releasing any tension with your exhale anything that's on your mind that you need to let go of any discomfort in your body that you want to release discomfort in your body that you want to release this moment is about breathing in the light breathing in the warmth feeling lighter with that joyous illumination in your heart continue to breathe deeply allowing that warm light of happiness to expand with each breath feel it spreading through your body from your chest out to your limbs it's spreading down your arms out your fingertips cascading out it's spreading down your legs out your toes and the soles of your feet and it travels up through your neck and your head out the ground of your head illuminating light emitting all through you and as this light radiates through your body allow it to feel warm and calm and safe this light is now pulsating you are breathing it into the heart and as you exhale you are exhaling it out all the areas of your body and now with this light illuminating through you and around you think of a moment or a place where you are truly happy and content visualize it in your mind and let that happy feeling wash over you allow that feeling that it represents to start permeating in your body to start taking over that joy that this moment represents for you and with that feeling in your body focus on the warm light of your inhale bringing it in feeling that joy remembering this moment this place sometimes we just need to remember what happiness feels like remember a time when things just felt simple remember a time when things just felt simple or light and it's when we remember these times that we can start remembering all that we already have so take a moment right now to think of all of the things in your life that you have right now that bring you joy that bring you happiness if you find yourself struggling perhaps right now in your life things don't feel as up then enjoy this moment taking time for yourself the breath that you get to take the beating of your heart the love you have for yourself to just give time and meditation into your day now with these thoughts in your mind silently repeat i deserve happiness i choose to embrace joy i am grateful for all that is in my life i deserve happiness and as you say this believe it believe in the fact that you deserve joy and that when we have our mindset directed in that state that we deserve happiness and that we choose to embrace joy that is when the alignment will come when things will just start flowing into us so silently repeat again i deserve happiness i choose to embrace joy now just for a moment think about what that joy would be for you what does that happiness look like for you what do you want to manifest in this moment that brings you joy that brings you happiness what does that happiness look like for you what do you want to manifest in this moment that brings you happiness and joy what does that look like with the light still radiating pulsating from your heart in as you breathe and out as you let that go hold on to this feeling this warmth in your body knowing that you deserve happiness and that you are choosing to embrace it and that each moment of your day you are going to look for the joy in the simple moments and see how they add up and go after what makes you truly happy and it starts now as you take a nice long slow inhale in and smile to yourself and then exhale let that go with that smile on your face just breathe in now feeling that light still pulsating within you that warmth and with one final silent repeat say to yourself i deserve happiness i choose to embrace joy and when you're ready you can come back and open your eyes and have a beautiful day thank you for meditating with me
