Emmanuel D. Simms Sr - Practices for Love and Happiness Lyrics

Hi guys and welcome back
Today we're going to be practicing for love and happiness
Each day can be very helpful to remember that we as humans all want the same thing
We want to be happy

Everyone we meet, and everyone we know wants to be happy
Everyone wants to be loved
There is no one who does not want love
Deep down, we all want to be loved

And deep down, we all want to feel connected
To feel connected with each other, with our community, and with all beings
We all want the same thing
To be happy, to be loved, and to feel connected

Also helpful each day to cherish yourself and others
To appreciate yourself and to appreciate others
We can do this by noticing any judgment that we have of ourselves
Criticisms or condemnations of ourselves

And seeing if we can soften those judgments and simply let them go
Noticing any judgment that we have of others
Sharp criticisms and condemnations
And seeing if we can soften those judgments

Breathing in
Cherishing yourself
Breathing out
Cherishing others

Breathing in
Cherishing yourself
Breathing out
Cherishing others

Breathing in
Cherishing yourself
Breathing out
Cherishing others

Enduring the day
Extending that attitude to everyone you meet
We are all the same
We all want the same thing

To feel happy
To feel love
To feel connected
Extending this attitude, I cherish you

I appreciate you
And I cherish myself as well
I appreciate myself also
Returning over and over to the sense of appreciation

Cherishing with each breath and feeling great every day
Take a deep breath and relax
Let the sound of the music evolve your brain
Stay focused

Don't go too far
Stay right there
Don't go too far
Your ideas are running

They're trying to get away
Oh, you got your rope around it
Don't pull too tight
Slowly

Walk towards your idea
Holding the rope
Pulling your idea closer
As you walk closer

And closer
You're almost there
Ah, your ideas are resisting
Breathe

You feel it
That's freedom
Be free
This has been Emmanuel Sims with practices for love and happiness

I cherish you
