I would like to pose some suggestions to visualize as you center and prepare for your exercise or mediations. For example at the point where you are standing centering and going through the checklist in your mind. Fingers open, elbows out, spine straight, shoulder relaxed, butt relaxed, smiling, chin tucked in and saying the password add the following.

-When you smile think of something joyful that makes that smile emanate from the core of your being. Such as the joy felt when you see an infant smile unconditionally. Feel the joy of the smile in every facet of your being on a cellular an energetic level. This can be amplified with the breath work process. Breathe into and let every cell feel/bask in that joy.

- When you say your pass word, also add in with the breath work the thought that you are drawing in white light from the heavens and from all (universe/earth etc) around you on the inhale. As you exhale and see the pains leaving see any unwanted energies shooting out. The result in you mind is that you are clearing yourself with each breath you take you are getting brighter and brighter. You are then surrounded in a white light, a cocoon of protection. You can even call in what ever positive beliefs you want such as GOD, guides, master’s teachers etc. And know that you in your space are protected and safe. This can be done as a meditation exclusively, on its own and could have powerful positive effect.
