A Zen Mind

☀️ This warm, light-filled meditation was created to help you feel like sunshine -  glowing from within with happiness, joy, and pure radiant energy. During this practice, we'll gently move through the body, awakening the loving energy of the heart and letting it flow into every part of you,  delivering a soft, inner smile as it goes. As you visualize each part of your being smiling - (from your heart to your lungs, belly and more!) you'll begin to feel that joy radiating outward. A loving reminder that, when you smile from the inside out, it shows up in your energy, on your face, and in how you move through the world. With love, Jo
