Beginning by taking three deep breaths and sighing on the exhale.
Making an audible sighing sound and with each sigh allowing yourself to relax into your heart,
Into your body.
With each sigh letting go of any tension,
Any negativity allowing yourself to be fully present here in this moment.
And now smiling,
Physically smiling,
So you can feel this smile from the back of your head all the way to your lips.
An authentic smile filling your face.
And as you smile taking three more deep breaths and sighing into your heart.
And as you sigh into your heart allowing yourself to sink into your body.
Relaxing,
Feeling the beginning of joy and love within your heart.
And so we'll begin with relaxed calm.
Scanning your body from the bottom of your feet to the top of your head.
And feeling yourself relax,
Releasing any tension,
Continuing to breathe deeply.
Sighing if you need to,
Noticing any points of tension and letting them go now.
Feeling a deep sense of relaxed calm.
Continuing to smile,
Continuing to bring this sensation through your entire body.
Relaxation and letting go.
Next,
Cultivating love and joy within your heart.
Physically smiling into your heart,
Imagining a big smile within your heart.
Thinking of someone you love or a beautiful memory.
Thinking of that which fills you with authentic joy and happiness.
It can be something or someone you're grateful for.
You can imagine puppy dogs and kittens jumping on you.
Whatever fills you with joy.
If you'd like you can even rub your heart with your hand.
Rubbing that place in the chest to help bring blood flow and awareness.
Continuing to smile authentically and feeling joy,
Happiness,
And a pleasant sensation within your chest and your heart.
Next,
We'll move into confidence.
So putting your hands on your hips,
As if you're the king of the world.
Opening your chest,
Having a confident stance.
Standing if you like or sitting,
Whatever works.
Feeling confident.
You can think of a genuine accomplishment that filled you with healthy pride.
Something that makes you feel confident.
You can imagine yourself scoring the winning goal or winning a new competition.
Closing a deal.
Whatever fills you with confidence.
You can put one hand out like Superman.
Be like a kid.
Imagine yourself like a superhero.
Confident and strong like the most powerful human in the world in a healthy,
Humble way.
Being confident,
Feeling that surge through your system.
Feeling underneath this confidence,
Joy,
And relaxed calm.
Next,
Laughter.
Remembering even fake laughter fills us with joy.
So bringing your awareness down into your belly,
Into your sacral chakra,
Putting your hands there and having laughter bubble up.
Imagining little bubbles from a soda can or a pop can going up from your belly as you laugh.
Laughing authentically,
Being goofy like a kid.
You can also do it like that.
Imagining like a big Buddha belly or Santa Claus belly,
Moving back and forth with your hands.
Feeling those effervescent bubbles,
That fiery energy come up.
Authentic laughter as best you can.
Coming back,
Feeling that surge of energy as you laugh.
Underneath it,
Feeling confident,
Feeling joy in your heart and feeling relaxed,
Calm.
Next,
Feeling electrical aliveness running all over your body,
All over your skin.
You can rub your body with your hands if that's helpful,
Bringing blood flow and electrical energy through your body.
Feeling that electrical aliveness,
That life force moving through your body,
Over the surface of your body.
Feeling that sense of connection,
Joy,
All over your skin.
Once again,
Feeling those effervescent bubbles from the laughter coming up,
Feeling joy in your heart,
Feeling confident and feeling relaxed,
Calm.
Coming back to your center,
Continuing to smile into your heart and taking three deep breaths and sighing into your heart to bring these beautiful sensations and states of being into the rest of your meditation and into the rest of your day.
