Starting from any solution of the Einstein equations, with cosmological term, coupled to a minimally coupled massless scalar field, a solution of the Einstein equations is constructed, conformally coupled to a massless self-interacting scalar field with the usual Higgs potential. When the cosmological constant vanishes, the Higgs term disappears and the transformation procedure reduces to that obtained by Bekenstein in 1974. As an example, a nonsingular cosmological solution is constructed that describes the restoration of spontaneously broken symmetry.
