Welcome the sounds around you.
The sensation of air on your skin.
The sensations of your body touching the surface that's supporting you.
Welcome your body breathing.
Welcome sensations in your body that are calling your attention.
Welcome your inner resource.
Your felt sense of well-being.
Ease.
Security.
And feeling grounded.
Remember,
You can always return to the comfort of your inner resource whenever you experience the need to feel grounded,
Secure,
And at ease.
Welcome emotions and thoughts that are calling your attention.
Sense where and how you feel them in your body and mind.
If it feels right.
Take a few moments now.
And interact with them.
By asking them what they want.
What they need.
And what actions they're asking you to take in your life.
Or just welcome and be with whatever's most calling your attention.
Welcome an experience or memory of joy,
In whatever form it comes to you.
For example,
The felt sense of joy.
Peace.
Contentment.
Or well-being.
If it's helpful.
Recall a time or place when you were with a special friend.
Animal object.
Or by yourself.
A time or place that invites the feeling of joy.
If a memory comes into your awareness.
Enliven it with all your senses.
Recall taste,
Smells,
Sounds,
Sights,
Feelings,
Thoughts,
And images that you associate with your feeling of joy.
Allow joy to come fully into your body.
Allow joy to fill your torso,
Arms,
And legs.
Neck,
And head.
Your entire body experiencing joy.
Allow your entire body to fully welcome in this experience of joy.
Then allow all thoughts,
Memories,
And associations to dissolve.
While you remain with the feeling of joy.
Joy independent of memory.
Joy independent of thinking.
Allow joy to spread throughout your entire body.
Joy throughout your entire body.
Joy filling every cell of your body.
Joy spreading throughout your body.
Enjoy all around your body.
With each exhalation and inhalation.
Feel joy growing.
Joy everywhere.
Be aware of the feeling of being.
As well as the feeling of joy.
Simply being.
And the feeling of joy.
Be aware of the various movements of sensation that are present.
Sensation.
Enjoy.
Emotions,
Enjoy.
Sounds.
Enjoy!
The feeling of the space around you.
Enjoy.
Being.
Enjoy.
When it feels right.
Allow your eyes to open and close several times.
While continuing to experience the felt sense of being and joy.
Allow yourself to come fully back to your wide-awake state of mind and body.
While continuing to feel joy and the felt sense of simply being.
Before moving on.
Take a few minutes and reflect on this practice.
Then,
As you move back into your day,
Feel how being and joy.
Are always present.
No matter what else you may be experiencing.
