Marie, I suggest an alternative to the Velten procedure. Cook and Weaver (1986) used a procedure involving suggestion, music, and facial feedback, as a combination, to induce mood. However, it is an unpublished manuscript. I am currently working on adding visual images to the Cook and Weaver technique. I used the Cook and Weaver manipulation in my dissertation (Huffman, 1995) so you can find the details there, or you can email Ken Weaver at Emporia State who I am sure has a copy of the 1986 manuscript or can provide the details. Good luck!

A psycinfo search is not revealing much (or rather too much) and it is hard to tell if the technique used in a "standard" technique. Can any of you point me in the direction (a reference would be great) of a well established mood manipulation technique? I seem to recall one where you read (and imagine) a set of 50 statements that grow progressively more cherry (in the good mood condition) or progressively more depressing (in the bad mood condition).
