A. INTRODUCTION

• Welcome to the first official “happy hour”
• What is happy? What does it take?
• Connecting with the audience with a story, question, idea
  (engage them with YOU, a way you connect to the world)
• How many of you desire more energy?
• How many of you have too much energy?
• How many of you desire new ways to deal with stress?
• This is an opportunity to….

B. BLOCKS/OBSTACLES/DRAINERS TO HAPPY

Interaction around any of the above

• Introduce WORRY/DOUBT: who’s good at this?
  Why do we do it?
• Introduce ANGER/FRUSTRATION and
  CRITICISM/BLAME
• Play with each to bring the lift; fun stories
• Connect to how they affect energy/communication/connection

C. DEMONSTRATION/GAME/EXERCISE

Showcase or play with what the blocks/drainers do

• Two people up front, using the spiritual technology
  to demonstrate holding and not
• Provide situations where they can see the difference
  between holding (“think of a tough day where you
  end it and feel good about what you did”) vs
  not holding (“think about a tough day
  where you end feeling exhausted and drained”)
• Give some typical communication examples where most
  people get caught in worry/doubt/anger/frustration, etc.
• Involved the audience by testing the front row of folks too

D. OFFER UP ANOTHER APPROACH

• Get them involved in what they could think/feel/do differently
• Instead of worry/doubt—hope and trust
  anger/frustration—courage and focus
  criticism/blame—listening and learning
• This could be a focus tool, story, new perspective
• lead them through the expanding heart

E. SO WHATCHA GONNA DO ABOUT IT?

This is the “so what”, stories about what holding/happy/
connection can bring us

• my stories about what changed as I did the expanding
  heart when I first learned it (grocery story, airport,
  train station)
• give them specific direction to do it often, use it for next
  month, till it becomes theirs

F. WRAP UP

Appreciation of the time together

• reinforce whatever is your key “happy” place
• encourage the ones in charge to reinforce the message

•Put up signs “Is your heart open?” as reminders

• thank you and goodbye!
