5 Minute Meditation for Positive Energy
An original 5 minute guided meditation to invite a warmer, cleaner energy into the body and the room around you. Follow the breath as if you could let light gather, intensify, and fill you from head to toe — without forcing a mood.
Before you begin
Sit or stand with the chest slightly open. Let the images stay gentle. Mood does not have to be perfect for the practice to work.

To begin this meditation for positive energy, sit where the chest can open.
When your body feels ready, you may softly close your eyes.
With your eyes closed, take a moment to feel your actual weight.
First, simply noticing heaviness — feet, seat, gravity — as honest as warmth.
Energy does not require a smile. It can include tiredness, and still be alive.
What else do you notice in the center of the chest?
What is it like to feel warmth there, even if it is only faint?
You can let brightness be a sensation, not a show of cheer.
There is nothing to fake. Heat and weight are already a kind of fuel.
Soften the jaw. Soften the shoulders. Let the chest be wide without lifting.
And letting warmth be simple. Weight can stay here too now.
Continue now with breath in the chest, as well as this heaviness.
On the inhale, notice volume. On the exhale, you do not have to sparkle.
What do you notice as warmth moves, or does not?
Thoughts may keep moving. You do not have to dress them in optimism.
Keeping your eyes closed, allow your awareness to include air around the ribs.
As if the room can hold both your weight and this small brightness.
There is nothing to become. There is this body, already making heat.
If your mind wanders, that is okay. Return to chest and honest heaviness.
Being connected to warmth, weight, and this short stretch of aliveness.
You let energy be possible. Including the dullness here.
Now let your attention travel back. Roll the shoulders. Feel the feet.
Take this warmth with you now, as you open your eyes here.
