The flame of joy.

The flame of joy burning any sadness.

The seed of joy.

This source is deep within yourself.

The seed of joy is here inside you.

And only light remains within.

There's no sadness.

Light dominates.

Your mind,

Your soul,

Your heart.

Only light remains within.

You connect to this light.

Allow it to grow each and every day of your life.

You thank the seed of happiness,

Of light,

Of joy within you.

And you thank the flame of joy that dispersed the darkness.

And let just light and happiness remain inside you.

You know they're there.

They're always there.

Deep within yourself.

Deep within your being.

You rub both palms together.

You generate warmth in the palms.

You take the bottoms of the palms over the eyes.

You bring warmth back into the eyes.

You slowly move your hands away.

You slowly open your eyes.

Feeling the light within,

The joy within.
