Attention to Happiness

Meant to be!

I already had my hands on my heart and belly, so this was perfect! Lauren knocks it out of the park yet again with this meditation about joy. When you do this kind, joy continues to stay long after!

Deepening Joy

During hard times, I'm skilled at bringing mindfulness and meditation to my forefront. But during joy and bliss, I've mostly just enjoyed the ride. Today, I brought awareness to that experience, expecting it to be somewhat diminished; however, stepping back actually deepened the experience.

Happiness

I learned that I don't need other people to make me happy it's my own choice.

Joy is in me

Sensations may change with events, but my awareness is the real self, unchangeable. My inner smile radiates from the core. It's not a grin. It is pure acceptance...

Be Happy Now

I can experience happiness in the moment. Letting myself ‘be’

Happy

If you think about happens and spread it everything will seem happy everything will feel good.

Happy Awareness

When I put my hand on my heart and my abdomen and felt myself breath, I felt so warm and happy inside. I never took the time to feel that before

Peace and happiness

I feel peace and happiness whenever I do these! I think that’s why I keep it up and I find myself looking up things online if I need some more mindfulness to get me through the day!

Let all emotions flow....

I have learned to listen to my body and to watch my emotions rather than become them. Don’t deny, understand.

Happiness is an ongoing journey

Attention to happiness in the present moment is always difficult since what once brought me happiness is in vague distance. I’m on the path to reconnection.

change

I learned that in this busy world taking a minute to yourself is a cure to daily pressures the world puts upon us

Attention to Happiness

I re-learned the importance of dwelling on happy moments. I think I first read that in one of Rick Hanson’s books. He wrote about how much time we spend on negative experiences vs. how quickly we let go of the happy ones. This meditation brought back the happy feeling I got this morning playing with my little Lexie dog. I’ll soon be with my great grandkids and doing this meditation will help me enjoy the little darlings even more than I typically do!

Dwelling

It’s easy to dwell on negative moments, and it was helpful to dwell of positive ones.

Our lives re not our own

I am learning that we don’t live in isolation. Everything we do, everyone we come in contact with, we are here to help each other. When we give so shall we receive.

Attention

This meditation was actually hard for me. I have so much negative going on in my life that it was hard to find what makes me happy. Even the simplest things. But when I was finally able to visualize the things that do make me happy, I left myself in that moment. Soaked it in, and let my whole body be filled with that light energy. I definitely feel a lot better, I have to continuously remind myself of these little things and enjoy them.

Buzzing

Stretch saw caught in a wind there is a mind inside me and it has been purring like a jaguar

Stop

We often radiant our feelings. Stop and take some time to appreciate moment for the way it makes us feel

Happiness

I learned that happiness is not alway derived from images that promote happiness. Happiness exists in its own form

Constants

There are parts of me that will always be constant and dependable.

Things that make me happy

A smile inside radiating happiness through my limbs. A slow heat that fills my body with warmth and light. Radiating from me so that those I encounter throughout the day are brushed ever so slightly with this light to help their smile blossom and grow inside.

Relax

Taking the time to relax in a stressful time period. It’s the kind of time out adults want.

I learned that..

..my eyes were tearing up mostly because I couldn’t think of anything that really brought me joy. Which is definitely something that I need to work on in the future.

Smile!

Smiling from within had me smile on the outside. Peace was inside out.

Smile

I learned to smile from within I thought of my own smile and my cat who always brings me happiness and going to social outings which I do a lot and meeting others I never once lost focused .

Matter over mind

I rarely let my cells smile. I’m too caught up in my head. Finding the inner smile was hard, and mental images that gave me joy felt selfish. My head tells me that joy should come from helping others, but where I found my smile was from thoughts of riding my motorcycle.

Focus

I need to clear my head I stay focus on the future and clear of anything negative

Smiling Tears

This session made me realize all the simple joys in my life. Tears arose at the end, but they were happy tears!:)

Inner Child

This was a great one. I could literally feel sensations of happiness as I visualized my inner child laughing and playing - first on a playground at my old school and second - on this huge snow pile I used to play on as a kid. No trauma - just innocent child joy. THANK YOU!!!!

Happiness

Happiness is present in the little things, it comes from the inside.

Happiness

What a beautiful way to start. Hope everyone has a wonderful and blessed day!

Simple Joy

It is so relaxing and yet invigorating to let go of all the stress snd anxiety and just “be”, even for just a few minutes. Blessed be.

there are so many things

that make me happy!! although I cannot do them all at one time, Life always has new things to enjoy

My own hands

Having some direction for what to do and where to place my hands was so relieving. I guessing hadn’t been totally aware of the amount of stress I have been experiencing (during meditation) in regards to what to do with my hands.. placing them on my own body was very self respecting and loving 💕🧘🏼‍♀️🕉

Smile and joy

I am learning to expand a smile and a feeling of joy to mw entire body

Smiling

Is not an action of my curving mouth, but an inner feeling going through my entire body, each cell vibrating in harmony, happy to be alive, happy to be a part of this everything called me.

Feeling of joy

It was hard for me to focus today, but the one thing that my mind caught, and that I was able to embrace completely was the feeling of joy. I feel grateful that my mind is able to focus on joy, even when I'm distracted by everything else

Atención al detalle

Todo cuenta. Todos los detalles y todas las sensaciones que bos rodean impactan para que tomemos alguna decisión u otra, para que hagamos sentir bien o mal a los demás o a nosotros mismos... sin embargo antes de voltear a los detalles que llegan a otros, debemos de aceptar y experimentar aquellos que nos enriquecen a nosotros.

Try again.

This was the first mindfulness meditation that I actually thought was hard. A few months ago I decided to make a change, that change being whenever I experience something challenging and whether the option arises again, I will take that challenge again, because persistence is how I learn.

Focus

Today was happy & peaceful... I️ could hear the sounds of nature all around me but stay focused on my breath.

Inner smile

That I radiate happiness inside at all times and it’s up to me to just take a moment to tune into those inner feelings of supreme joy. Yay!

Breathe in energy

Thinking about what brings us joy with each breath helps reinvigorate the body

RELAX BREATH…🌈💍👍

i can feel more relaxed after taking deep breaths and remebering family and little cousins laughing

It’s a feeling

Happiness is a feeling, not a career, any amount of success or any amount of money which we think will supply it.

Feelings of joy don’t have to be fleeting

We can recall within ourselves the warmth and happiness of past experiences. Recent events as well as those threatening to fade into distance are there for intentional thought. With each joyful experience we can reinforce those memories. Combine them. Focus them. Use this as a tool when ever needed. Why would we need only on happy occasions to recount happiness? Why not work to associate positive energy whenever faced with negative? This will be my next goal of personal practice. To develop an automatic reaction that can bring forth my own stores of positivity whenever faced with its opposite. To program my mind to trigger on negativity and double down with pleasure.

Overwhelmingness

I feel overwhelming emotions..., memories of vacation places, locations I may stroll over perhaps...

Breathes

It just feels good to be present in the moment and not think about my stress.

Attention of happiness

I noticed that at first when I had used this I felt good at first but then after I used this meditation I feel way better and happier

I felt..

I felt relaxed after taking those few moments to realize how happiness isn’t hard to find. I found happiness in just breathing and thinking about my wonderful family and my amazing boyfriend.

Happiness

I felt comforted and that my happiness was radiating. I felt that I have the strength to be great.

I’m ready for today

I learned to live in the present I feel amazing and confident for my interview today.

I noticed that...

I noticed that when I was listening to her I was listening to everything that she was saying. Not only, but also feeling more and more happy and relaxed as I moved on.

Joy: within you to without you!

I am using George Harrison here. This meditation is of that song “within you, without you”. Gives a feeling of thankfulness and friendship to all, as I was tuning up with the innocent joy of animals, people... and so on. Will be doing this often and longer.

I felt so much joy and happiness and how much I appreciate life itself

This app is amazing !!!! And I love it.It truly is amazing to just think of your tiny blood cells opening and your body feeling so much joy.I almost fell asleep doing this.Thank you so much!

I will find happiness.

I no longer wish to visit the sad place. When I find myself venturing down that road I will create my own path and seek out the happiness. I crave the happy. Self I love you!!! Peace and light!

Oh joy

To know joy is to always have joy. I believe that it is as easy to find joy as it is to find the dark places our mind can go. Practice is the key. I am joyful because I choose to be. Just because Im good today, right now, I accept my mind will wander to negativity, Its a fact if life. Another fact is that I can choose joy at any time. Not easy, but it can be done. #mentalworkout

Today...

I learned that I need to do this first thing in the morning... too many distractions once the day is fully underway.

Encouraged

Today I feel encouraged. I not only feel I’m capable but I know for certain I’m capable of reaching and surpassing all of my goals. I’m ready to walk the talk.

Joy On An Average Day

Not every day is brimming with happy events, but I can recall happy moments and memories to bring my inner joy to the surface and brighten seemingly dull days.

Happiness

Is a choice decided by what you focus on. There is a silver lining to every cloud, look for it.

attention to happiness

i learned that its easy to give all of your attention to some certain thing that brings you happiness

Feeling Great is Greatness

It’s nice to focus my mind and body on feeling good and letting my entire self lather in that rare experience.

Happy to be happy

It always amazes me how deep breathing works to calm you down and opens u up to yourself. You really hold the key to your own happiness

Happiness from within

By focussing on an internal smile, I could feel the cells tingling in my body and felt really connected to the present moment.

Day 42

I enjoyed visualizing the people and things in my life that bring me joy. A pleasant way to begin my day.

what you focus on grows

this is one of my favorite meditations i’ve ever done. i LOVE it!! focusing on joy in your body brings joy into the rest of your world/life.

I felt calm and full of awareness & intent.

I learned that I do not like meditations talking about abstract feelings. I like the focused breathing leading to mindfulness and awareness. Brings about a sharpness and intuitiveness I am inclined to which previously I might normally ignore or am blunt to.

Happiness

Feeling happy today! It is Friday! Have lots of plans this weekend which should increase my bliss. Wishing this same happiness to everyone in the world!

Gratitudes all around us

Such a nice meditation to remember that there really is so much to be grateful for all around us on a daily basis. I feel sometimes that I forget that.

Happiness is rightfully ours to own

I learned by giving attention to my happiness is a fulfillment that radiates to others and help them smile with appreciation that someone cares about them and they don’t have to live in a sea of despair-it okay to be happy and it theirs to rightfully own with deep inhales and gentle slow exhales allow them to relax and breath with mindfulness of life joy

Stretching

It’s very important to stretch. Your body as well as your mind. Both work in unison.

Thankfull

I learned that I could take some more time just being gratefull for everything given to me, as wel as for everything I earned myself..

Welcome to 41!

One hand over my heart, one on my belly. I wrap myself in love, grateful I get to see 41 years of laughter and tears, growth and happiness, pain and joy and looking forward to the next 41. Determined to vibe higher each day. Stepping into my truth, proud of the woman I’ve become. I can imagine even the tiniest cells in my body jumping for joy as they carry me through this thing called life. It’s not even been close to being easy, but it’s damn sure worth it! #livingmylifelikeitsGOLDEN

Being ...

Being... just being... a way to utilize more efficiently our energies. Thank you for this practice! 😇

Joy

I felt sparkling in my entire body. I had no need to shakebit off or calm down, I enjoyed every second of it.

I felt

It was hard for me to focus on my breathing and not the thoughts zooming around in my head but I still pushed thru it

I felt

I felt the breath going through various places of my body with this meditation.

I realized just how focusing on an emotion and the wonder ours source can truly amplify there emotio

I learned that the most abundant resource of this exuberant happiness is in god the holy spiritual and Jesus. The happiness that comes from this trio is limitless and the most nourishing of all sources of happiness. For it comes from within and can come in any circumstance ✨

Pure happiness

I got my Baylee dog back today. Oh how I have missed being a dog owner. The unconditional love. Being needed. The kisses & tail wagging. I love all of it.

love

i think of the one i love and immediately smile. i feel so warm on the inside. i feel so safe and protected. even though distance is not easy or fun, it is so worth it to be with this person. everything makes sense and everything feels safe and happy in his arms. he’s what i need. thank you.

Couldn’t focus

For some reason I couldn’t focus on this meditation at all. Oh well, I’ll try again later.

Attention to happiness

I think of what has just recently come into my life and how much happiness and love he has brought and my whole body smiles

Happiness

There are numerous things that make me happy and when I’m feeling down or out of place I need to think about those things and just let the joy overtake my negative emotion because I deserve to be happy.

It’s new

I can love him even when he’s not here. And I shouldn’t get mad at such small things I need to trust him more.

I Have Good Days

I have good days, and today has been one of them. It’s good to enjoy it, and even better to remember that ones like this will come again.

I felt

I felt calm and free from the world around me and from the negative vibes coming my way

Enlivenment

In this short and wonderful meditation, Lauren has us visualize an inner smile radiating throughout our body. Doing this can give us a sense of enlivenment and thus, wake us up to sensations of happiness, joy and bliss. Feeling these sensations can also raise our vibrational frequencies to states of love, peace, joy and gratitude. This is important because when we have high vibrational frequencies, we feel good. When we feel good, the more we see good. The more we see good, the more we attract good things into our lives. I took a deep breath as one hand was on my heart and the other hand was on my belly. I began to visualize an inner smile radiate throughout my body. As each cell of my body became awakened by this beautiful inner smile, sensations of happiness, joy and bliss spread throughout my body and I observed my lips form in the shape of a smile. I began thinking about everything in my life that give me these sensations. To just name a few, my loving mother came to my mind. Our wonderful dogs and cats came to my mind and the smell of the fragrant aroma of carnations came to my mind. Feeling this sense of enlivenment radiating throughout my entire being, my vibrational frequencies have also been raised to their highest states! Thank you, Lauren! Namaste 🙏🏻❤️☮️

Smiling

It’s before my medications and coffee have kicked in, so quite difficult for me to articulate and type; however thanks to Cherish for her wonderful reflection, I gave this a try and I am now smiling inside and out and will be getting on with my day hoping I can continue this feeling. If not, I just need to take 3mins out of my day to repeat this if needed.

Energizing...

What a quick & Energizing session!! Thank you Cherish for recommending it❣️ I immediately felt a rush of very happy cells on my first in-breathe. I saw thousands of little smile faces 😃 racing from my lungs thru my arteries to my heart, where they picked up speed and were sent out thru the rest of my body. My yellow smiley cells were reproducing quickly into more and more as my whole body started to glow yellow! Then I could feel them all pulsate and dance together in rhythm to my heartbeat...my body was having a hard time containing them (it was like having a bunch of 5 year olds hopped up on sugar and stuck in one small room in your house). Just as the thought that I could not control them any more came to mind, she said “let go!” ...and I did ... and immediately I transformed into this big, bright yellow joy radiating sunshine 🌞!! Wowie as our friend Irene would say! Energizing Bunny watch out!! Walter J is on the loose! Highly recommended! Have a Joy-full day! Spread the Joy! Radiate it!! ❤️🌞🍀 👍🏼✌🏼 😃

Inner Smile

With a hand over my heart and one over my belly as I breathed in I visualized an inner smile that spread throughout my whole body. This gave me feelings of joy and bliss from within. At the end of this session, I feel myself radiating with positivity and smiling on the outside. Thank you Cherish and Hayley-Rose for your reflections on this meditation. I will definitely revisit this one again. It is another good one to start the day with.

Smiling...

I get my ‘body smile’ spread to my head face chest and arms just like she asked us to imagine (never thought about my body being one big happy face!) Somehow felt different that just feeling happy.... I was observing the happiness that was me! 💚🙂🍀

A Warm Smile

I have a really wild imagination! Thee entire time my eyes were close all I could think about was a warm smile circulating throughout my entire body! The A/C is on and that 3min mediation kept me warm. :) true story lol

Happiness

Paying attention to your own body, mind, and spirit whenever you have a certain feeling whether it be happiness, sadness, and or anger always be aware and present of the things or feelings you are feeling in that moment

Lightheaded , not a good night sleep

Didn’t meditate before bedtime - made a difference in my sleep

Awareness

I loved the idea of letting perceptions arise within the field of awareness. That those change, morph, and dissolve - but our awareness remains.

Attention to Hapiness

I'm always focusing on my "bad" feelings such as anxiety or sadness but I should even more focus on my happiness

Amped Up!

This short, but extremely powerful meditation illustrates the saying, what we think about, we bring about. We can do anything with our imagination. We can be anything with our imagination and we can feel anything with our imagination. Settling inwards, I took a deep breath and then visualized and inner smile growing. From the top of my head down to my feet, all of my cells were opening and receiving this glorious energy of an inner smile. Then I brought joy in by visualizing what I am grateful for. With every single breath, I envisioned my cells pulsating with aliveness. I dropped the grateful images and sat back in loving awareness, witnessing this ever changing landscape of this body. Completely full of blissful aliveness, I am amped up! Amped up for the endless possibilities this new day and new week brings! May I be a beacon of light for all! Namaste 🙏🏻❤️☮️

Happiness

This made me smile! Thank you for reminding me that by focusing on an inner smile, it will grow and go every where

A full-body smile

I channeled my great niece’s beautiful toddler smile that truly radiates throughout her entire being. Namaste

Happiness

This was a good way to start the morning with having a inner smile in the whole body

Joy in the morning

I feel great. To stimulate joy and happiness through breathing and awareness is amazing. Your guidance was perfect. The stretching at the end was a great addition. I'm joyous and energized! Thank you.
