This video guides viewers through a five-minute meditation focused on cultivating positivity and gratitude. It encourages mindfulness and reflection on personal growth, helping individuals to foster a sense of optimism and readiness for positive change.
Begin by getting into a nice, comfortable seated position. Spine tall and straight, shoulders rolling back slightly to open up your heart, palms resting in your lap facing open. And when you're ready, lovingly close your eyes. Allow yourself to focus on your breath, feeling a sense of expansion on every inhale and a sense of release on every exhale. Recognize the gift that is your breath. Even if only for this moment, feel deeply grateful for the air you are breathing. You feel yourself as present in your body, present in this moment. You start to think about all the ways your life is now better than it was at some other point. Even if only one or two ways come to mind, focus on them intently. What are at least one or two improvements that have happened across the course of your life? Spend a moment simply tuning in to how these improvements feel in your body, your heart, and your mind. As you start to equate your life with improvement, as you start to feel what it feels like within you to experience improvement, you start to feel a sense of positivity and optimism building within you. Feel that it's possible for positive growth to continue. You know what it feels like, and you welcome aligning with it even more now. You affirm to yourself, "I'm ready for good things. I welcome them in."
