Growing positive emotions

Achieving the natural relaxation response is not a difficult process, but it does take time and practice.

Set aside a specific time each day to meditate and relax, and stick to that routine as much as possible. A daily Beditation routine can help relieve stress and lead to a better life!

Let’s begin by getting in a comfortable position. Take the proper time to ensure that your body can fully relax and stay comfortable for any length of time.

Now, begin to breathe deeply…

…and let it out slowly.

Repeat these deep breaths several more times, inhaling in through the nose…

…and exhaling fully through the mouth.

Pay particular attention to the physical sensation of each breath as it enters your nostrils…

…passes through your throat…

…fills your lungs…

…and spreads throughout your entire body.

Try to notice these sensations as you exhale each deep breath as well.

Next, begin to focus your thoughts on experiences that bring you happiness. These experiences will be different for everyone, so take the proper time to focus deeply on a particularly joyful experience, whatever it may be.
