Meditation for Awakening Your Essential Positive Qualities An inner smile radiates throughout my being,
Awakening all of my essential positive qualities.
Sit comfortably in cross-legged position or in a chair with your feet flat on the floor.
Make sure either your sitting bones or your feet are planted firmly and evenly into the earth.
Relax the shoulders back and down.
Keep your spine naturally aligned and gently close your eyes.
Take several natural breaths to attune to all the feelings and sensations as you begin to relax.
Begin to direct your breath gently into your upper chest,
Neck and head,
Naturally instilling a sense of lightness and spaciousness.
Allow this lightness to permeate your entire being and notice a growing feeling of joy like an inner smile that unfolds naturally.
Take several breaths to allow this inner smile to expand throughout you and to intensify so that it becomes a kind of bliss or even ecstasy.
As this bliss permeates your being,
A soft smile spreads across your face,
A smile that arises from within and is not dependent on your surroundings.
Take several breaths to allow this smile to gradually infuse your entire being,
From the crown of your head to the soles of your feet,
As if every cell in your body were softly smiling.
As you sense your entire being smiling radiantly,
All of your essential positive qualities are awakened naturally.
Begin by awakening the quality of enthusiasm.
Take several breaths to sense uplifting energy spreading throughout your being,
A feeling that every moment of life is worth living fully and completely.
As enthusiasm permeates your being,
You naturally awaken the quality of appreciation of beauty,
Allowing you to experience awe and wonder in everything you see,
Especially the small details of daily living.
Take several breaths to sense this quality of appreciation of beauty.
Living enthusiastically and with appreciation,
You naturally awaken the quality of communion,
A sense of oneness with all things that allows you to live in inner and outer harmony.
Taking several natural breaths,
Sense this feeling of communion.
As you integrate enthusiasm,
Appreciation and communion,
You naturally awaken to your inherent wholeness,
A knowing that you are absolutely complete and nothing can be added or subtracted from your essential being.
Aligned with your inherent wholeness,
You turn inward to experience a deep,
Intuitive knowing of your life's purpose and meaning,
Beyond all rules and conditioning at the level of the personality.
Within this knowing of your life's purpose and meaning,
All of your essential qualities merge in an experience of timeless being whose very nature is ecstasy.
Affirm these qualities as you repeat the following three times aloud or silently.
As all inherent positive qualities merge within me,
I experience the ecstasy of timeless being.
As all inherent positive qualities merge within me,
I experience the ecstasy of timeless being.
As all inherent positive qualities merge within me,
I experience the ecstasy of timeless being.
When you are ready,
Open your eyes,
Returning slowly and gently,
More deeply aligned with your bliss body.
