[Speaker 1]
Sit up straight, close your eyes lightly, put a little smile on your face, you know, you can't be grumpy and meditate, okay, just a little smile, it's gonna make me a better person, I'll be a more successful person, I'll be a happier person, you know, don't feel like meditation is a chore. Pull in your stomach a little bit, it helps your back. Relax your fingers, relax your forehead, you know, kind of let go of the world and just surrender, okay, we're here, you're stuck here, it's not polite to leave during meditation.

Just relax, start watching your breath, slow your breath down but don't go crazy. Slowly lasso your mind and tell it to be quiet. You can check emails later.

When you meditate, the first job is to bring up your meditation object. You must select from hundreds of choices your meditation object. The most powerful one, one of the most powerful ones, is to simply bring to mind the one person in the world that you are most grateful to.

So, I mean for a lot of us, it's our mom. If you've had a heart lama, I had a lama I lived with for 25 years, you can ... that's like a super mom.

Or it might be a teacher that you had in school, it might be someone who taught you your business or your career, and just bring to mind the one person in your life that you are most grateful for. And I know if it's the first time you've done this meditation, you might select some candidates for most, you know, person who helped me the most. So, I'm going to give you a few minutes and you know, think about different candidates.

It might be my mom, it might be this teacher, it might be my spouse, it might be my child. Think about ... somebody told me it was his dog.

Think about the person in your life that you are most grateful for. Focus on them for a few minutes. It's a very powerful meditation to become a happy person.

Okay, here we go.

[Speaker 2]
Okay, three more breaths. Don't move yet. Watch three more slow exhales and then slowly open your eyes.

Take a stretch.
