To understand happiness,

I believe that you have to go a little bit deeper than the social and cultural belief systems.

You have to go to that depth that is often hidden behind many,

Many things.

And to find that depth,

I would like to share with you a beautiful meditation,

And this is called the meditation of the heart.

By practicing this meditation,

I believe that you will touch upon this quality,

Not just inside of yourself,

But also be aware of this quality in many aspects around you.

So as you are finding a place to relax,

As you find a place to let go of all the mundane,

Taking a few moments to let go of everything,

And take a deep breath,

Close your eyes.

As you close your eyes,

Bring the focus,

Bring your attention to those deeper parts that are there,

Present as your attention.

Let's go of all the mundane talk and chatter that happens in everyday life,

And comes back to a very beautiful still point inside of yourself.

Take a few moments to just be aware of this.

It does help you to allow the body to go deeper by letting go of any tension that may be in the physical body,

Looking at the shoulders,

Relaxing the shoulders,

Looking at the body,

The spine,

The chest,

Relaxing,

Relaxing the body so that you are completely free of all the tensions that happen in everyday life,

And come back to a sense of deep stillness and deep tranquility.

When you do this,

Be aware of the beautiful breath that is flowing through your body as you breathe in and breathe out.

Be aware of the rhythm of the breath in your body.

Be aware of this beautiful rhythm and the relaxed state that you are in.

Speaks to you on a very deep level,

Speaks to your heart on a very deep level.

Be aware as you touch upon that depth that the heart lets go of all the mundaneness and comes back to a point,

A deep point of stillness.

And this beautiful stillness,

Be aware that beyond any concept,

Beyond any thought,

There is a beautiful essence that begins to speak to you on many levels.

A beautiful essence that transmits a sense of joy,

A sense of freedom,

Not just to your mind or your emotions,

But to the depth of who you are.

It is as if deep inside there is a celebration,

A blossoming,

Beautiful celebration that expresses itself beyond the stillness in a sense of deep,

Deep joy.

Allow this feeling to expand on that beautiful space of the heart,

To expand with your breath and to manifest in all the spaces,

In all the beautiful spaces that create this experience in this very moment.

As you breathe in and breathe out,

Allow this essence deep within to communicate its joy,

Its beauty.

To you as you still the mind,

You still the emotions and come back to a very beautiful space.

As you breathe in and breathe out,

Allow this space to flow through your body.

Allow this space to flow in your breath and be transmitted to all the beautiful spaces that you begin to explore and fill those spaces with this beautiful energy of joy.

Fill this space with this beautiful blossoming of joy that expands beyond everything that you know,

That touches the mysteries beyond what you know.

As you breathe in and breathe out,

That sense of joy expanding.

Be aware as you become more and more free.

As this joy expands more and more inside of you,

Around you,

A beautiful transmission begins to happen.

Beautiful movement of energy begins to touch the essence.

As you let go of all expectations,

All needs,

All wants,

And are just present to the essence inside of yourself,

This beautiful joy,

This beautiful celebration allows you to expand the spaces inside of yourself to allow for a beautiful transmission to touch some part of you that now begins to show itself in the heart,

That begins to show itself through a deep,

Deep feeling.

Deep,

Deep inside of yourself,

It is as if a beautiful sound,

A beautiful voice,

A language of the heart begins to speak to you in a way that goes beyond the intellect,

Beyond the mind,

Beyond logic,

That touches you through the sensation of happiness,

Through the sensation of joy.

This beautiful blossoming as it expands more and more allows for this language to be more and more clear.

Be aware that the heart,

The wisdom of the heart,

Has a beautiful message for you,

That if you still your mind,

This message becomes very clear.

This energy that is transmitted becomes very obvious as you allow the body to be still,

As you allow the breath to go deeper,

As you become more present to those spaces that make you a beautiful human being,

Feel the energy that is transmitted through your heart,

Be present to this energy as it expands within,

Around you,

As it expands and creates a beautiful feeling of joy,

A beautiful feeling of happiness,

A beautiful feeling of celebration.

This feeling allows you to remember,

Allows you to come back to a deep memory of what it's like to be a true,

Beautiful human being,

What it's like to be complete,

What it's like to be touching at depth,

Which allows you to experience happiness beyond anything that you've ever known,

A celebration inside of your heart that moves everything,

That begins to transform everything as you expand in this beautiful stillness,

As the heart begins to speak to you,

This beautiful transmission allows for transformation beyond just the personal,

Allows for an inner transformation that begins,

A momentum that carries on,

On so many levels in your deep meditation,

In the stillness that you're experiencing in this moment,

Be aware of this transformation as it begins to change the many structures in those beautiful spaces that you are now becoming aware of,

Be aware that we are not just in this physical dimension,

That our existence goes beyond this physical dimension and in stillness as we move beyond what we know into that space of the unknown,

Through the sense of joy,

Through the sense of contentment,

Through the sense of completeness,

We can touch upon secrets that allow for the knowledge,

The wisdom that the heart now begins to understand,

That becomes our inner light,

Our guide to move forward in a way that was in the past never possible,

This joy,

This happiness,

It's not just in the physical body,

Not just in your mind or in the emotions,

But it's deep,

Deep inside,

As you embrace this completely in stillness,

Without judgement,

Without wanting anything,

Without thinking,

And just present to this beautiful movement inside of your heart,

You begin to understand the depth and meaning and beauty and happiness that is in all life,

In the whole universe,

You begin to touch the heart that is present in all the spaces that go beyond our personal aspects,

That is everywhere,

We begin to touch joy that is life,

And as we remember in our deaths who we are,

As we come back home to that remembrance,

The bridge is this contentment that is felt through joy,

The bridge to that memory is that sense of happiness that we feel when we let go of all the burdens and the troubles that the mind is so preoccupied with,

And come back to a sense of freedom,

Expansive freedom,

That allows us to see much more,

Allows us to experience much more than the limited spaces that we find life imprisoning our minds,

Our thoughts into,

As we become free of these,

There is a natural sense of celebration,

Imagine yourself now in this beautiful space,

Even if you cannot feel this joy,

If you cannot feel this happiness inside of you,

Because the mind is still active,

Because parts of you don't allow for this movement to happen in the very depths of who you are,

Begin to imagine yourself in this beautiful space,

Trust this space,

The beautiful space where everything is harmonious,

Everything is still,

Everything is beautiful,

Everything allows you to let go of all things that may burden you,

All things that may have worried you in the past,

All things of future that may create thoughts that are not bringing you joy,

Imagine yourself in a beautiful temple,

This beautiful temple is something that you have never ever seen before,

It's a structure that contains light in every aspect,

This beautiful temple that you now find yourself in as you let go and move deeper and deeper,

Is a temple that you know is very safe,

Very solid,

Very real,

And you can trust this beautiful structure of light to open the heart in a way that was never possible before,

Open the heart now that you feel the joy and the sense of happiness present in your life,

Open the heart in a very intimate way,

In a way that the heart knows it needs to open in this beautiful intimate way,

A way that the heart understands that because of all the mundaneness of life and because of all the situations that we face has never felt ready to do so,

I believe that now as you move to this step,

The heart is ready to open up to this beautiful space in the temple,

This beautiful light that shines all around you,

Open up so that you're totally vulnerable,

Totally open to everything without expectations,

Without holding on to the past,

Without holding on to ideas of the future,

Just open in this beautiful present moment in this temple and watch as you do this,

As you open this space of the heart,

How energy begins to flow from around the temple,

Flow to that space,

That physical space of the heart and begin to transform all the past hurts,

All the past in the personal sense and also the past from those times that you cannot remember that hold that structure in the way that it's been held for so many years and begin to transform it like a beautiful flower,

Like a beautiful blossom that opens up to the sun to allow energy to flow through and touch that essence so that joy and happiness that you are feeling inside is made stronger,

Is made more powerful as the heart of the divine embraces your heart as you are now so open and so vulnerable and so ready to allow this beautiful transmission of the heart of the divine to touch you in a way that is so intimate,

So real,

So profound.

Feel as you do this how everything begins to transform,

All the pasts,

Pains and sufferings become irrelevant,

All the shadows of the pasts disappear as this light inside of your heart,

This joy,

This celebration begins to expand beyond you and it is your heart,

The light from your heart expanding into this temple that is holding the structure of this temple,

Your light that is the light of the temple,

The heart of the divine and your personal heart merge into a sense of oneness and that sense of oneness,

That sense of union brings that depth of joy to all the spaces in the mind,

All the spaces that we explore as individuals so that everything has much more light,

Everything is lighter,

Everything has a sense of not only stillness but a sense of beauty that inspires the heart to open up more,

That beauty,

That beautiful sensation that you can feel through this energy transmission allows for your heart to open more and more,

An infinite sense of allowing more and more to touch you,

More and more to fill that space with a sense that can only be felt through this experience that is beyond words,

Through this experience of opening,

Of allowing this sense of oneness to touch your heart and it is this sense of oneness that brings the deepest joy,

The deepest happiness to all when we let go of all those aspects in the mind,

All those aspects in the feelings,

All those aspects in the body that create walls of separation,

That create spaces where we feel threatened or vulnerable to pain and suffering when we let go of those as we are doing now,

It is then that the beauty of happiness expresses itself beyond just feelings,

There is a sense of contentment,

A sense of knowing,

A sense that your heart offers now as you open to this beautiful transmission,

Let the heart celebrate this sense of openness,

Remember to breathe deeply into the heart,

Remember to allow this beautiful light to expand more and more,

Every time the mind leaves this beautiful temple to explore somewhere else,

Somewhere where there is a limited thought or a limited feeling,

Come back to this space of expansion and allow now in the next few moments,

Whether you are present here in this room or listening through the online transmission,

Allow for the heart to be so open that the movement of energy is felt at this point,

This deep,

Deep point,

The beauty that is felt in this very deep point inside of yourself that is now so open,

So vulnerable to the beautiful light,

So trusting to the beautiful light that is gently touching the essence,

So you can experience that bliss,

That wonderful〜 my best wishes for you present here,

So As you feel this energy transmitted to your body,

Come back slowly to your body,

Come back to the breath,

Come back to the room,

But allow this sense of transmission to continue as you slowly come back.

Keep letting go.

You you

Very good. Beautiful meditation

An excellent practice for bringing one back to the here and now. Thank you Tony!

Such a beautiful, calming and inspiring voice! 💜🙏

Lovely peaceful meditation, bringing calm & serenity

I felt my heart open in a way that it's never expanded before. My temple was all glass with warm sun shining on me...it is a place I will return to often. Namaste

Def works and gets the energy flowing from the heart.

It is so good to be reminded we all have that joyful place inside of us, and to slowly uncover it and tap into it again. Thank you. Namaste.

I loved this. I feel after 7 years of meditation that this meditation style is one of the healthiest to expose your psyche to and to leverage growth from because his voice/intonations/words express great peace, very genuine humility, great wisdom and zero voice affectations. He's not trying too hard to sound "spiritual" or "sexy spiritual" which is distracting for 10 different reasons. This meditation is as real as it gets, which frankly who has time for anything less when meditating with the intention of truly growing.

Very deep and meaningful experience. I plan to come back many times. Thank you.

Nice; completely focused on opening the heart. Thank you!

Very beautiful. Thank you Tony.

So many happy memories were brought forward. Am sure will return again.
