Happiness Trigger

 

Just allow yourself to get into a comfortable position

A place where you can simply relax

And let go. 

A place where you can easily hear my voice. 

You can look at the spiral for as long as you would like…

But if your eyes start to feel heavy

And tired. 

Simply allow them to close. 

And take a moment to focus on your breathing

Allow yourself to breathe 

Deeply and slowly

But comfortably

Whatever is the most comfortable for you. 

Just feel the air slowly filling your lungs

Stretching out the muscle in your chest

And then let yourself exhale

Long and slow

Feel your muscles loosen

Your shoulders drop 

And just relax

Deeper and deeper. 

Into my words

Every word you hear will only help to let yourself relax

Deeper and deeper

Feeling your body sinking into whatever you're sitting on. 

And just letting go of the outside world

Allow any sounds you might hear

To just remind you that you are safe

And relaxed

But allow them to slip into the back of your mind

Let the world around you fade away

Little by little

Deeper and deeper

And just take some time for yourself

Here… now. 

And I want you imagine

In your mind. 

A bubble slowly forming in front of you. 

Just imagine seeing it. 

Just floating there in front of you

You can see how the light shines across it. 

Giving that rainbow effect as it refracts

Softly and easily off of the bubble. 

And as you focus notice how peaceful

And calm the bubble is. 

Nothing affects it. 

Nothing bothers it. 

It’s a place of perfect peace. 

And allow that bubble grow

Gently and easily with each breath you take. 

Getting bigger and bigger

As you sink deeper, and deeper

Down into trance. 

The deeper you go, the larger the bubble will become. 

And the larger the bubble becomes 

The deeper you will find yourself sinking

Breathing easily and gently 

Listening to the sound of my voice

And just letting go

Deeper and deeper

Watching the bubble growing larger

And larger in front of you. 

Watching it grow in size to be several feet across

And still growing 

Taking you deeper and deeper 

The larger it grows

But not matter how big it gets

The bubble is still perfectly peaceful

Perfectly calm. 

…

Soon the bubble is bigger than you are

Easily big enough for you step inside

And have room to spare. 

In your mind… 

Simply reach out and touch the bubble…

Notice as you do that it softly moves along your skin

Letting your fingers

And your hand

Slowly slide inside. 

And as you pull back 

The bubble simply slides off your skin

And remains 

Floating in front of you

Perfectly calm. 

When you are ready

I want you to allow yourself

To step into the bubble. 

Just feel yourself walking forward

In your mind

And letting the bubble slide along your body completely

It has a gentle 

Soothing feeling as it washes over your skin

Over your face

Through your hair

And over your body

Until you find yourself inside the bubble

The air is comfortable

And easy to breathe

But the most noticeable part of the bubble

Is that it is perfectly peaceful in here

It’s just you…. And my voice

The hum of the video 

And nothing else

Completely calm

Completely relaxed. 

And as you simply float

Softly inside of this bubble

This bubble of perfect peace

Notice how calm 

And relaxed your mind starts to become

Any thoughts that seem to pop up…

Just seem to drift away

Outside of the bubble

Don’t worry, they will be there… later… 

When you are done here. 

But for now…

Just let any thoughts that might arise

Simply slide out of the bubble. 

So you can have a moment of perfect peace

Of calm

… 

…

And as you allow yourself to be calm

I want you to think about something…

That makes you happy. 

It doesn’t matter what it is. 

Just anything that makes you smile. 

And I want you to be aware of what you feel…

When you think about something that makes you happy. 

Notice how your body reacts

How you can… feel the happiness, inside your body. 

It usually has a place that it starts….

It could be in the sides of your mouth. 

As your lips curl into a tiny smile

Or deep in your chest, as your heart seems to beat just a bit easier. 

There is no wrong answer

Simply become aware of where you feel the happiness first

… 

…

And now that you have a rough idea, of where it begins

I want you to think of your favorite movie…

The movie that always cheers you up no matter what… 

And notice how the happiness in your body and your mind

Starts to grow

And move through your body

Be aware of where it travels

And how it grows

You may find yourself giggling

Or laughing just a bit

There may be a tingle that moves through your body

As you focus on the things that make you happy

And where they start

And where they move

It’s ok to laugh

It’s ok to giggle

This will only help you to relax even more deeply

And let go

Making it easier and easier

To focus on the things that make you happy

And where you feel them in your body

And your mind. 

…

I want you to think about your favorite song

The song that you can’t help but dance too, just a little bit. 

Tapping your foot and swinging your hips, even just a little. 

And notice how the happiness moves even deeper into your body

How it starts to spread. 

You can even, if you want… see the happiness in your body. 

You may notice it has a color, a texture. 

It’s ok if you don’t see it, not everyone can, and that's fine. 

But if you do. Just watch as it spreads, and how it moves through your body. 

…

Now imagine the person that always makes you smile

It can be someone you know personally

Or someone you see on tv, 

Or even a fictional character in a movie, a book, or a game.

And notice how the feeling of happiness moves through your body

Become aware of the sensation. 

Is it warm?

Is it light. 

Or is it simply a feeling of relaxation

Of peace

There is no wrong answer. 

Only the answer that is right… for you. 

…

And notice how much easier your breathing is. 

How much more relaxed your muscles are. 

And just start to think of more… and more things

That make you happy. 

Your favorite animal. 

The infectious laugh of a good friend

Or a small child. 

The feeling of a warm, home cooked meal

And the simple pleasure of crawling into bed. 

Or sitting under the relaxing waters, of a warm shower. 

Allow your mind to simply fill

With things that make you happy. 

It doesn’t matter what they are. 

Only that they make you happy. 

Let the images, and sounds over lap in your mind

And feel how your body reacts. 

Feel, and if you can, see the happiness

Moving through your body

Feel it moving into every single part of your body

And your mind. 

…

It’s ok if you let some images go, and replace them with others

Or you can try to see just how many images, how many things that make you happy

You can focus on at one time. 

The most I can do is five… 

Do you think you can do that many?

Maybe even more?

Or is it a goal that you can strive for…

It’s all up to you…

Just have fun with the images, and the feelings in your mind. 

And as you think and feel… 

All the things that make you happy. 

I want you to touch your thumb… and your middle finger together…

On either hand, or both. 

And whisper to yourself. 

…

I am happy

…

Just feel how relaxed

And calm you are… 

And touch your fingers together again and whisper

…

I am happy

…

Every time you do this… 

From now on…

You’ll feel the bubble forming around you… 

And all the stresses of the world being pushed away

Just for a bit. 

You’ll create a special place for yourself… 

In your mind… 

And you’ll allow all the things that make you happy 

To flood into your mind

And you’ll feel the happiness

Starting in wherever it starts for you…

And then slowly moving through your body

Little by little

Until you are completely relaxed and free. 

Calm and peaceful 

Focusing on the things that matter most..

The things that make you… happy. 

…

And think about those things on your mind now… 

And pick the one that you are thinking off that makes you the happiest

And let the image… the sounds. The feelings of that one thing

Become larger and more clear in your mind. 

Feel how your body reacts

How you relax

And press your thumb and middle finger together again

And whisper to yourself

…

I am happy

…

And allow yourself to feel just how good this feels. 

…

Just how peaceful it makes you. 

…

You should try and take a few moments every day…

To just sit someplace peaceful 

And quite. 

Close your eyes

And touch your middle finger and your thumb together

And whisper to yourself

…

I am happy

…

And just let the bubble form around you

And spend a few moments a day…

Simply thinking about the things that make you happy. 

The things that make you relaxed and calm

The things you enjoy, whatever or whomever they may be. 

…

This may take a little practice…

And it’s perfectly ok to use this video again and again

Whenever you may need, or want too. 

Being able to shut out the world for just a while is a skill 

A skill that can take time to master

This video will alway be here to help you with that. 

…

For now thought…

Just focus on the images in your mind that make you happy…

Pick something that is very recent that made you happy

And then pick something from way back in your memory

Try to find the first memory you have… of being happy. 

And then see how many you can find in between. 

And just allow yourself to keep picking out things tha tmake you happy

Again and again 

For as long as you’d like. 

And when you want to wake up. 

All you have to do is take a deep breathe

And let the bubble fade away. 

You can have it shrink back down

And store it safely in your mind

Or you can have it pop, big and dramatically

You can always create another, and another. 

As many as you need

As many as you want. 

But for now

Just let yourself enjoy this feeling

And focus on being happy

And relaxed

And calm

Until your ready to wake up. 

…

…

…

[very light] I am happy…

…
