Smiling Buddha Meditation for Happiness & Confidence
Happy Buddha Meditation Technique
Meditation for Joy & Positivity
Spring is finally here, a long winter is winding down and nature is eagerly waiting for warm, sunny days and refreshing, starry nights. This is a time for much celebration, and so to usher in this new season I thought it would be great to introduce the uplifting and joyous Smiling Buddha Meditation.
It is reputed that this meditation was prescribed to the Buddha, by a rishi (saint) to help him regain his positive mind and recover emotionally after a long stretch of meditation and fasting. Although, this meditation appears to be a simple technique, it is actually incorporating many important aspects of Kundalini Yoga to achieve it’s results.
The meditation uses, the power of mantra (sound vibrations that create corresponding states of consciousness), mudra (hand positions that create certain energy flow in the subtle body), eye positions, mental focus and the science of spirit to bestow it’s wonderfully uplifting benefits.
Smiling Buddha Kundalini Yoga Meditation will be the 13th entry in our ongoing and popular Free Online Guided Meditation Techniques E-book. As it is also considered a Kundalini Yoga Kriya, I will include it in the Free Illustrated Kundalini Yoga Exercises E-Book as well.
If you are suffering from the winter blues and depression (SAD), this is a great technique for you to do. Also, if you are aware of the 10 Bodies of Light Numerology and have been told you need to work on your Positive Mind (third body of light), then too this is the meditation of choice for you to do.

- Gives you the energy to inspire and uplift others.
- Helps open the Third Eye and bestows intuition and insight.
- Develops mental focus and concentration.
Smiling Buddha Meditation Practice Details:
- Sit with your legs crossed and back straight. You can also do this meditation sitting on a chair, but sitting cross legged is more effective for this technique.
- Place both your hands in Maha Gyan Mudra. To take Maha Gyan Mudra, curl your ring finger and pinkie under your thumb, while keeping the other two finger extended upwards and straight.
- Bring your hands to the side of your shoulders (about 8-12 inches away), palms facing forward. Your elbows will be bent and your index and middle finger will be pointing straight up.
- Close your eyes and apply Sambhavi Mudra. To do this, turn your eyes upwards such that you are looking through the center of your forehead. Do not strain when applying this mudra. If your eyes tire, release the mudra and then re-apply it once ready.
- SMILE. Don’t forget this step
. - Hold this hand and eye position, then begin to mentally chant the Mantra Sa-Ta-Na-Ma continuously. Sa Ta Na Ma, is the most fundamental of Kundalini Yoga mantra. It stands for Infinity, Life, Death & Rebirth.
- Throughout the meditation make a conscious effort to relax, be at ease and be positive. Allow the mantra to take over and feel great happiness, peace and joy within you as you chant silently.
- To end, rub your palms together vigorously and gently place them over your eyes, allowing the warmth to sooth and comfort them.
- You can start with 3 minutes and work you way up to 31 minutes.
Hope you enjoy this meditation and it brings you great peace, happiness and confidence. Keep Smiling!

dear sir,
mujhe sanskrit ved mantra ki direct free download link chahiye? kya app mujhe bata sakte hai
Hi Anthony,
I have tried it both ways and like either approach. Try it with concentrating on the Mantra first and see how it feels. The affects of this meditation are quite rapid.
I have been meaning to publish some more strengthening poses, hopefully will get them online soon. Till then do Plank’s Pose and Cobra (add cobra push-ups) that will be good for the arms, although it does not isolate just the biceps.
Best,
Anmol
hi anmol, should i look up at my third eye with a consciously looking into the darkness, or should i look up and only focus on the chanting?
also, i need a pose that will strengthen my biceps
thank you, anmol :)
I like this meditation. It is explained well and I am going to start it now.

Hi Anmoi,
I really like your meditation instructions. Especially the step ‘don’t for get to smile’ :) I think sometimes we can take meditation too seriously so it’s good to be reminded of the need for joy.
