A guided evening meditation/prayer by Keira Brinton that leads listeners through breathwork, body-grounding visualizations, and an exercise to intentionally notice and 'capture' small moments of joy from the past three days. The practice emphasizes shifting focus away from negativity, strengthening the habit of noticing joy in daily life (birds, laughter, pets, simple comforts), and setting an intention to seek these 'pockets of joy' going forward. The recording closes with a blessing and invitation to sleep well.

Happy evening. I want you to take a nice deep breath in with me as we get into our bodies, breathing in and out. One more breath in and out. There we go. So tonight's practice is one of my favorite topics, which is capturing pockets of joy. Capturing pockets of joy in your life right now. So I want you to just place your hand on your heart. I want you to close your eyes and listen to this. What we seek, we will find. What we seek, we will find. Where we focus, we will go. And if you seek the hard, you will find the hard. If you focus on the negative, you will move towards the negative. So tonight's practice is about realigning your focus, realigning where you are seeking to bring in joy. So with your eyes closed, I want you to place. Actually, I would love for you to lay down. So I want you to lay down, pull a blanket up over your shoulders and then come back with me here. Okay? So now that you are nice and cozy in your blanket, your eyes are closed, I want you to feel this beautiful warm light, like the sun pouring down over your body from the crown. It's going to move over the face, over the throat, over the heart, over the stomach, over the lower belly, the legs, and all the way down the feet. Just feeling this warm sun relax you and help you feel good. Help you feel good. There we go. You're going to breathe in and you're going to breathe out, noticing your body is just relaxing, coming into a place of really grounded energy now below your body. I want you to feel as though there's a magnet at the center of the earth that's pulling your body down. And I want you to feel the magnet pulling off any negativity, any stress, any worries, just pulling them all the way down, all the way down, all the way down, all the way down. And you're going to breathe in. And you're going to breathe out, letting it all leave your body, going down to the center of the earth. Now, once you place your hand on your heart, I'm gonna play you some sound. And in this time, I want you to look at all the pockets of joy, all the little pockets. Seeing the blossoms on the spring trees. Listening to a child laugh. Seeing your partner smile. Your cozy, warm blanket on you right now. So find pockets, pockets of joy. Joy is found in little tiny pockets throughout our day. But when we don't see them or we don't seek for them, they get diluted and they get pushed aside because the negativity overpowers them. So this practice Tonight is how do we wake joy up to be the highest focus of our life? And that happens when we intentionally seek for all the joy that we've already been having. So, ready, I want you to look the last three days for any pockets of joy. When you see the pockets, I want you to capture them. Like you can even use your hands. And you're going to pull them into your heart. You're going to pull them into your heart, these little moments of joy that you've had over the last three days. And I want you to just breathe in with your hands on your heart. And I want you to feel that joy start to move and ebb and grow and expand throughout your body, letting that joy rise and then get further and further throughout your body, breathing in, letting all those pockets of joy start to stack on top of each other, creating this marvelous experience of joy within you. Breathing in, Breathing out. Breathing in. Breathing out. I want you to feel this, this moment of joy in your body. And then I'm going to invite you to put on a new vision for the rest of today and for tomorrow that you purposely seek to find pockets of joy. And when you see them, I want you to take a second and feel it. So if you walk outside and you hear the birds, I want you to stop and feel the joy that those birds brought you. If you walk into your house and your dog greets you and you feel this joy, stop and feel it. Like, really feel it. Let yourself feel the joy. It's very easy for us to feel the negativity and the fear in the world, but what we want to do is rewire you and strengthen the muscles to feel joy. So I want your palms up on your knees, shoulders back, soft heart, breathing in. You're gonna let joy ripple through your body, letting your cells know this code. Cells know this. Know the code of joy. Know the code of joy. Breathing in, breathing out. We're going to call in all of your angels and your guides and into the divine light to open up to help you with your vision. So that for the next day and forever, you seek to find the pockets of joy. You seek to feel the joy that is already here. It is here. It is here. It is here. And a breathe light in from the crown of the head. We're going to let this light spiral through your body, grounding you all the way down to the soles of your feet, warming your being with joy. Joy is our birthright. Claim it and it is yours. May you sleep well, and I will see you in the morning.
