Living with the intention of being happy involves love and caring, kindness, mindfulness, and especially openness and receptiveness to your own thoughts.

The root of happiness is caring for yourself

Loving, caring, and being kind to others in turn help you respond to your own thoughts with love and kindness.

Sometimes we don’t like where our thoughts go, and that may make us feel uncomfortable.

Meditations for happiness can help us to be receptive to our thoughts and understanding of ourselves, responding to thoughts with positivity and kindness.

This sort of response allows us to see things clearly and to practice mindfulness.

In this meditation, instead of inviting something in from outside yourself,

You are listening to what’s within you, to the caring, love and understanding you have the capacity for.

Let’s start the meditation.

Sit or lie in a comfortable position, in a space where you won’t be disturbed for a moment.

Let your eyes close gently.

Now, let’s bring kindness to the forefront of this session by thinking of ourselves in a friendly way, from our bodies… to our minds.

Listen to your body and allow it to get more comfortable.

Soften the eyes, smooth the forehead, release any tension in your neck and back, arms and legs.

You want to be comfortable in this moment so you can focus on being present.

Recognize how you want to be happy, without shifting focus on what might bring about happiness.

Just think to yourself that your goal is happiness, with nothing tied to it, and see how this simple thought is comforting.

You can say to yourself aloud now, “I want happiness.”

Now, attach this desire for happiness in your mind to thoughts of love, caring, and kindness.

Think of some phrases of love and kindness you can give to yourself.

You can say these phrases aloud, and be mindful of your intent as you do.

Some phrases you can tell yourself are these:

I am love.

I care for myself.

I desire happiness.

I want to be healthy.

I want to be safe.

I wish to be peaceful.

Say the phrases slowly to yourself with a rhythm, making them into a mantra.

Focus on your breathing as you repeat the phrases, taking a breath in between each or saying one with every breath.

Concentrate on the words, recognizing the meaning you place with each phrase, perhaps forming a picture in your mind attached to that meaning.

Continue repeating the phrases that you wish to keep as your mantra slowly, either aloud or in your head, making sure you know what each of them mean to you.

Keep your focus on your mantra, coming back to it if you start to lose focus.

Embrace the meaning you have for each phrase. You may have some thoughts of doubt or self-judgement.

Whenever you do feel such negativity, you may repeat your mantra of phrases.

In time, repeating your mantra may do away with negativity whenever it comes.

Reflect on or repeat your mantra for as long as you wish.

If you wish to continue your session for a moment longer, go ahead and pause the video.

We are now coming to the end of the session. Slowly, go ahead and open your eyes. You may wish to stretch to awaken your muscles.

You are ready to welcome the rest of your day focused on living with love, kindness, and happiness.

Whenever you feel down in your day, you may repeat your mantra of love and kindness to keep you in a positive mindset, mindful of your thoughts.

Thank you for listening to this meditation. We hope you enjoyed it. See you next time for another wonderful meditation session. We hope you will be safe.
