Certain positive emotions, It could be as simple as I feel my chest expanding and contracting easily with the breath, Feeling so relaxed or feeling my breath moving smoothly and give me the feeling of relaxation and feeling good. Feeling positive about my breath, About my posture. So just take a moment and find any of these positive sensations or emotions that are arising by themselves and kind of make you feel good. It could be anything. See if you can bring your concentration on that part and stay there for a few breaths. We are selectively concentrating on positive sensation that we are soaking into them. We're also creating some clarity in our mind as where in our body this positive feeling or emotion is representing or arising in our body. Just notice that and concentrate.

So maybe you want to bring that mental image to your mind and stay with that image. And sometime, If that also not available, You can work with mantra, A simple word like my I be happy, My I be peaceful, My I be joyful, My I be kind. You can generate this mantra in your auditory space to hear your own voice inward and repeating that mantra. It give you a beautiful positive feeling, Positive affirmation, And you just stay with it and allow everything else around it to stay back there using equanimity with this beautiful repeating mantra. So we are trying to build that positive feeling. And our body and mind by using all these different ways, Techniques to radiate or even spread the positivities in our mind and feeling the positivity of emotions arising. And if all these are not available or they're challenging for you today, You can find another way to find your positivity is by simply smile, Any smile, Small, Half, A quarter, A large can relax our nervous system and bring positivity just by simply smiling. Every smile and all those different techniques can bring happiness, Lightness, And if you pay attention to it, It might spread through the entire body, Bringing more pleasant feeling, More positive feeling.

You can create a mental image, A person you love or you admire. You can say a mantra or you can just smile. Any of these can help you get close to that pleasant feeling and positive feeling. So let's focus on, Concentrate on this and letting everything else to stay behind so we can enjoy this positivity sensation and feel good. We continue focusing, Concentrating and if thoughts start jumping in our mind and try to take us away, Simply we ignore them. Continue connecting with your positivity. Let's relax. It's always easy to stay with the positive emotions without getting lost into many thoughts because these positive emotions are bringing good feeling. We kind of like to stay with things that give us good feeling. And remember, The more we concentrate on our positivity, The more they can grow bigger.
