This meditation is to help you visualize happiness,

A meditation to nurture the causes of happiness for all beings.

When you're ready,

Sit or lie in a comfortable position.

Your body remains in an alert but tense posture with eyes gently open.

For a few minutes,

Breathe calmly and deeply,

Noticing the in and out flow of your breath.

Experience the gradual calming of body energy and mental chaotic thoughts.

When thoughts arise,

Neither attempt to block them nor let them multiply.

Simply acknowledge the thought,

Then return your awareness to slowing and calming the breath.

After a few minutes,

Begin to shift your awareness from the breath to a deeper place of awareness.

Here,

Refocus your place of awareness to an internal gaze and began to look at the mind itself.

Again,

Try not to get attached to the thoughts.

Looking here means observing your awareness itself,

Not the content of your thoughts.

Let the mind gently come to rest in this vast expanse of awareness as a tired traveler might find a pleasant meadow in which to sit for a while.

After a few minutes of being with the peaceful internal awareness,

Began to shift back to external awareness with a deep feeling of appreciation.

Think of the precious value of human existence and of its extraordinary potential for flourishing.

Be aware,

Too,

That this sacred life will not last forever,

And that is essential to make the best possible use of it.

Zen meditators have a popular saying,

Do not waste time.

Sincerely examine what counts most in life for you right now.

What do you need to accomplish in your life in order to achieve authentic well being and live a meaningful existence right now?

What do you need to discard right now?

When the factors that contribute to true happiness have become clear to you,

Imagine them as seeds of consciousness.

Allow them to take root so that they begin to bloom in your mind as the most beautiful and delicate flowers.

These seeds of consciousness are constantly being planted.

Resolve to nurture them day after day with awareness practices.

End your meditation by letting thoughts of pure kindness embrace all living beings,

Thanking all beings for the courage to explore and expand awareness much love to you and your journey.
