Cultivate Joy and Happiness: 20 Minute Guided Mindfulness Meditation | Mindful Movement

Enjoy this 20-minute guided mindfulness meditation to cultivate joy and happiness using Loving Kindness. Although it may not always feel like it, joy can be your choice rather than a condition of if something happens or if you get something, then you experience joy.
For today, let go of the “I’ll be happy when…” mindset. See your joy as available to you just on the other side of a door, you simply need to open it and let joy into your heart. Today, bring joy intentionally into your world and heart. Find ease in stressful or challenging times and spread joy to your loved ones and around the world.

Thank you ❤ needed this today

[@DaneLadyBakeCo.]

Same to you❤❤

[@nmh7499]

It was really difficult for me to think of a person who brings me joy. I ended up thinking of my dog. Lol! As the meditation went on I started thinking of imaginery situations that might bring me joy...like my dream of being a mother or even a cool crisp autumn day walking outside. I really did feel joy and happiness at the end of this. Thank you!

[@mandolinmountain]

Agreed. I actually stopped the meditation because it ended up making me feel worse :/ haha. Then as I was walking away I saw my dog and realized she brought joy into my life. ❤️

[@singingnymph]

I feel like this is an important comment for everyone. The goal is to feel joyful, so if that loved one is a dog, cat, horse, (or whatever else), it's okay too. Find that joy where you can.

[@casario2808]

Why not a pet? They are probably the best sources of unconditional love towards us.

That was beautiful. My thought was of my mother. She's a two time cancer survivor. I lived with her and took care of her from 2015 - 2018. We had so many great times and we laughed with each other everyday. I get to see her this weekend, first time since Christmas. I am so thankful for our friendship. I am truly blessed. This meditation brought tears of joy! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Much love

[@wasdnty]

Hi there!! I recently started my Insta and KZbin channel called @whatarchschooldoesnotteachyou. Its all about how my personal past experiences relate to Architecture and aim to encourage fellow architects, architecture students and creatives to seek their truth. The following stories are all about Architecture, psychology, philosophy, activism, neuroscience and esp. mindfulness. A new architectural movement so to say-> working towards conscious Architecture. It's a MUST. As my channel just started a week ago and I really love what you guys do, do you think we could promote each other somehow? I would genuinely love to gather people around this new mindful architecture ad it is so connected to what you guys do, in a different but same way. Please let me know, would be amazing

[@Roller_Ghoster]

Thank you Sarah for being a large part of my (sometimes sketchy and half hearted) meditation practice from 2016 onwards. I hope that you and Les have a Merry Christmas and a very peaceful and mindful 2019. Cheers from Neill, Ireland.

I love your videos. This gives me tingles all over every time. I lost my husband I was the one who found him it was very traumatic and I have PTSD & get panic attacks all from it. So I started meditating and your channel was 1st one I found. They have helped me so much I rarely have a panic attack now & when I have an episode from my PTSD I turn on 1 of your vudeos and it calms me down. Thank you! You will never know how much your videos have helped me 💖💞

[@TheMindfulMovement]

Thanks for sharing that 💜

[@jojous4731]

Thank you for beautiful day 🙏

[@jeffydude2008]

Your meditations are incredibly moving and although this was for joy, I found myself tearing up more than usual. I have not started meditation until a few weeks ago at age 23 and I can see it beginning to change who I am as a person for the better. I believe we can begin at any age and if everyone practiced meditation, the world would be a much better place to live in. Love to all ❤.

[@monkeydotbizness]

That awkward moment when you have no one that brings you joy and have to stop the meditation.

[@user-yi1sm2lt6v]

[@fionapatten3065]

Thank you for this wonderful meditation. I loved that it focused on others as well as myself and spreading my joy in a simple way, throughout my body and throughout the world. Thank you.

[@TheMindfulMovement]

Glad you enjoyed 💜

[@chirples]

🙏 Thank you for this joyful journey 🌸💝🌸

[@istrala]

I take things really literally at times, so the request to think of someone who's easy to love was a real challenge for me. We're all a mixed bag, aren't we? I ended up thinking of my deceased cat who was the only near perfect person I loved. So, got a bit teary over that. This one was tough for me today. Maybe a different day would have been better to work on joy.

[@kimberlyelizabeth24]

Love this meditation. Thank you!

[@mrenecoates3404]
