Cultivate more joy in your life with this practice led by meditation teacher and author Spring Washam.
How to Do This Practice:
- Reflect on an area of your life that brings you joy—whether it’s a small moment, an activity, or a connection.
- Imagine experiencing that joyful moment. Feel the smiles, peace, and lightness it brings. Let yourself fully connect with the positive emotions.
- As you reflect, silently say to yourself, “May my joy and my happiness increase.” Allow this intention to sink into your heart.
- Bring to mind someone in your life who is experiencing happiness or success. Picture them in their joyful state.
- In your mind, say to them, “May your joy and happiness increase.” Or, “I’m happy for your happiness. May your happiness continue.”
- Remind yourself that joy is limitless, like the stars in the universe. Celebrating the joy of others enhances your own happiness.
