Namaste.

Once you're comfortable,

Please close your eyes gently,

Bringing your awareness to your breath.

Each time you breathe in,

Relax.

Feel your body softening each time you breathe out.

Welcome your entire body into your awareness,

Softening your gaze into a smile,

Relaxing your jaw and thinking of something that makes you smile.

Perhaps if that helps to soften and relax a little more.

As you smile into a memory,

Really take a few seconds out to feel that smile.

Feel it in your eyes,

Cheeks.

Feel the smile inside of your mouth and notice any sensations that may arise as a result.

Allow this feeling to spread towards your heart and chest area.

Allowing this lightness of a smile to permeate through your entire being and fill your Anahata chakra or heart center.

Namaste.

Imagine this peaceful energy radiating outwards from each cell of your being,

Creating a relaxed,

Open sense of being.

Walk away.

Come on.

Relax into the ambience of a peaceful atmosphere,

One created and sustained by your smiling energy,

Imagination and creativity.

Relax into the ambience of a peaceful atmosphere,

One created and sustained by your smiling energy,

Imagination and creativity.

Allow your sankalpa or intention be to observe any subtle shifts and changes from moment to moment with curiosity and wonderment.

Whenever you notice your attention has wandered,

I invite you to return your awareness to the soft smile,

To witnessing the changing sensations,

To feeling the aliveness of your body.

Relax into the ambience of a peaceful atmosphere,

One created and sustained by your smiling energy,

Imagination and creativity.

Relax into the ambience of a peaceful atmosphere,

One created and sustained by your smiling energy,

Imagination and creativity.

Before we arise from this moment of mindfulness and return to the day,

Take a moment to recall how it felt to feel into the memory of a smile.

Let the joy in the memory allow you to move through the rest of your days with ease and be your shining light.

Namaste.
