Without awareness, it’s easy to spend quality time focused on the challenges of life, far more than what is good. This meditation invites us spend a few minutes with something great in our lives! In so doing, help us to improve our ability to pay attention to the pleasant moments in our day. Photo by Khadeeja Yasser on Unsplash

Helpful transitional meditation from past to present.
When it’s difficult to settle into meditating this session does a great job of helping you to do that. It uses a pleasant memory from the past to bring about body awareness and observing thoughts to the present. This way your body relaxes you can observe your thoughts and then release them.

Tonight I learned an easy way to bring positive feelings and sensations into my present day by remembering past positive experiences. This can improve any day that is less than joyful, by savoring these positive memories.

Breath
I’d never really thought about it until today, but conscious breath—breathing in deeply, holding a moment, then fully exhaling— feels good. Conscious breath contains joy.

The past is past, but still here
When I started my meditation practice, I would dismiss the past as “no longer.” This meditation reminded me that the past lives on in its influence on now, much like the influence my grandparents or a teacher who is now past still influences who I am. Selecting the positive past to mindfully impact today is a powerful way to set the tone I will take with me as the morning unfolds.

Remembering pleasures
It was lovely to think back to a pleasure that I hadn't thought about for quite a while - a very good practice.

The day I landed in Poland was one of the happiest points in 2017.

Our wedding day! Spending time with my niece doing crafts. Watching the birds come to my yard.

I savored the thoughts of my wedding day, the joy I experienced with my husband and our family and friends. I will be taking these thoughts with me today.

Resilience
Throughout the second half of my long life I have been forced to accept the unacceptable. Belief in my ability to succeed and my belief in a loving God have resulted in a happiness I would never have expected!
