Joyful, delighted, jubilant, exultant, overjoyed, festive, exhilarated, and over all light hearted! Today's episode is a visualization exercise, intended to help you feel joy and reap the benefits of a contented state of relaxation. Physically lowering stress hormones, relaxing muscles, decreasing pain, boosting immunity, and lowering risk of heart disease. Mentally... mentally, strengthening resilience, easing anxiety and tension, improving mood and overall adding more joy and contentment in life.
So, let's get started by turning off all distractions closing any open tabs and getting into a relaxed, comfortable position. Breathe gently as the music begins to play. Gently turning your head to the left... began to recall a wonderful memory. Something that made you laugh and feel joyful. Picture all of the details. What sights, what sounds? What did you smell? Did you touch and taste anything? Play it all in a beautiful video in your mind's eye or imagination.
With your head still turning to the left representing the past and the movie still playing in your mind...breathe in the joy. Breathing in through your mouth, swallow that sweet memory of positive emotions and feel it traveling down into your heart space to be treasured there. Breathe out gently through your nose. We are going to repeat this eight more times for a total of nine. (But I'll keep count.) Nine is the sacred number used in Toltec healing. Toltec loosely translates as the flow and the count and measure of the universe. So in through the mouth and then out through the nose 1,2,3,4,5,6,7, eight plus the one we did together.
Now face forward, representing the Now moment... place both feet on the floor, anchoring into the present time. Imagine roots like a tree securing your feet into Mother Earth, feeling grounded. Feel your mouth smiling in the joy of this present moment. Think of all the things that you are currently grateful for: clothes, food, shelter, friends, nature. Count your blessings as the music plays. Still facing forward, let's breathe gratitude and joy of the present moment into your mouth. Swallow it down into your heart space and breathe out from your nose for the count of nine. Breathing in gratitude and joy 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9.
Next, gently turn your head to the right representing the future and looking forward to a joy filled life... an awesome feeling, right? This is called future casting. As we project a movie filled with joyful dreams and goals as the music plays, create this video in your mind. With our heads still gently turning towards the right, (our future) let's breathe in these joy-filled intentions through the mouth. Swallow and feel them center down into your heart space together for the count of 9...1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9. Facing forward as we bring this session to a close, let's breathe in on the emotions of joy. Use regular rhythmic breathing at your own speed and bring in the feelings of happiness. cheerfulness, glad. elated, delighted, jubilant, exultant, cheerful, overjoyed, buoyant, euphoric, contentment, exhilarated and over all light hearted.
Call into existence, extreme joy and pleasure, call in, euphoria, jubilance and excitement. “Call IT in with Dar!”
