Smiling: A Guided Meditation by Juan Vega


I am enjoying my hypnotherapy class so much... I'm learning so many things!


The students in my class are all wonderful, loving people. I'm blessed and so happy to be in the same energy with all of them.


One of the things we do to start the class is to meditate. Each student signed up to do a guided meditation for the class. I enjoyed last week's meditation so much I asked my classmate if he would send me a copy to share.

This guided meditation is by Juan Vega - a wonderful, loving spiritual being:

Just find a safe and comfortable position and let your eyes close….

take a nice deep cleansing breath in…

fill your lungs up and exhale out slowly…

breathing as you relax…

relaxing as you breathe. Inhale relaxation…

and as you exhale release all the stress, tension and strain.

Take a deep breath in… hold it…and let it out slowly…

feeling your body starting to relax.

Breathe in…and out. in…and out. in…and out.

Bring forth in your mind the energy of smiling. Use your powers of visualization to create an image that makes you feel like smiling.

You might imagine before you the face of a loved one beaming love towards you.

The image could be of your own smiling face, or a memory of a time when you felt love and peace.

Perhaps you would like to imagine the beautiful face of a divine being shining love upon you.

Hold the image in mind as you continue to breathe slowly and calmly.

Feel the welling in your heart as the image stimulates your emotional response.

Allow your heart to open to the smiling.

Allow yourself to smile back at the image.

The change in your facial muscles may be very slight, but let a peaceful, loving expression overtake you.

Continue to feel the smiling energy. You can place your smile anywhere in your body. Let this pleasant thought and feeling course through your body.

Feel it course through various organs of your body.

Send your smile to your heart, lungs, stomach, liver, kidneys, your glands, and direct your love to parts of your body that you don’t think about much.

Be whole in your compassionate smiling self.

That’s it…

just Smile. Feel the energy… loving energy swirling.

Cultivate the loving feeling that arises with a smile.

Awaken the love energy in your heart and mind.

Move into the flow of love that fills the universe.

Fill yourself with loving kindness.

Share your smile and your loving heart with people in your life.

Grow the circle of your compassion wider and wider, so that it includes yourself, and those you love.

Include those you know that you didn’t think you loved.

Grow it wider so that it includes people you don’t know,

and wider still to include people you don’t know, but you didn’t think you could love.

Send your smiling energy to everyone in the world

Shine that smile into their hearts.

Wish them greater wisdom and wish them awakening awareness of love.

Expand the scope of caring to include all beings in the universe.

Know that the force of love pervades the universe, seen and unseen.

When you love, you attune to that great force, you come into accord with the divine unity.

Develop the habit of using your inner smile to activate your loving heart.

Use it to relax your mind and body.

Use it to make friends with your world.

Register this as a state that is readily available to you.

This pleasant emotional state can be summoned, just as you would summon a memory.

You need only remember to smile

Now I’m going to count from 1 to 5 and when I get to 5, you’ll be able to come back feeling full of life and energy, with a sense of vitality, peacefulness and joy.

So coming back now—1, getting ready to open your eyes…2… feeling refreshed and alert…3, with a wonderful sense of well being and energy, 4 opening your eyes, 5 coming back now, feeling wonderful, energized and great.

I AM SMILING, SO I EXIST. YOU ARE SMILING, SO YOU EXIST. WE ARE SMILING, SO WE EXIST ALL TOGETHER.
