How to Be Happy
It's a Choice
The very first step towards a happy life is to choose to be happy. Then, everyday after that, we must make this choice thousands of times in the duration of our lives. Happiness is something for which we will have to work - make effort.
Love and Happiness
Love is the greatest promoter of happiness and for many reasons. Most of us do not feel much love or any at all but there are ways to increase this great treasure of the heart.
Love and Healing
Love has tremendous power to heal. This truth has been explored and documented in books by Dr. Bernie Siegel M.D. and Dr. Larry Dossey M.D. There is a powerful spiritual component to love which heals not only the body but the wounds in our psyche.
Learning to Love
Love is our true nature and comes to us from our heart - from the core of our being. The entire universe is floating in an ocean of love. Unfortunately, our culture does not encourage the cultivation of love. Dr. Gerald May, M.D., psychiatrist and author of numerous books, states that mental and emotional wellbeing has mostly to do with how much love we are able to give.
Depth of Love
To arrive at deep love and therefore deep happiness, one must cultivate love and diminish the ego. The ego is the opposite of love. The ego is all about me... me... me... while love is always about something other than "me." Love is about others, Nature or the Divine.
Developing Love
Pure, selfless love is not the same as attached love. Attached love wants something. Me may say we love icecream but this is really an attachment to icecream by way of expecting the pleasure of eating it. Pure selfless love expects nothing in return. It is this kind of love we want to develop.
Happiness Comes from the Heart
The Heart is the spiritual center of existence. Our own heart is connected directly to this universal Heart from which flows an endless stream of light, life and love. This is also the inner oasis of happiness that we wish to access.
An Audio Guided Meditation on the Heart
The Heart in each of us is the true temple of the Divine. From here comes all happiness, joy, love and bliss. This meditation will help re-awaken the light of love that waits within us all.
What is Love?
Love itself is mysterious. It is not a "something" and therefore the intellect cannot grasp it. It can only be known directly through the heart. Love is food to the soul and without love, our hearts whither and our lamps go out.
Love for God
Perhaps it would be better to say "Love for the Beloved" as the word "God" has so much baggage associated with it. Be that as it may, this article makes a reasonable request that whatever the universe is, it is at least aware, intelligent and possessed of a will. Furthermore, we can communicate directly with this Cosmic Being.
The Miserable Wretched Sinner
Perhaps the greatest obstacle to being happy is feeling we don't deserve to be happy. The past no longer exists and whatever we may have done or not done is now irrelevant. The past is a cancelled check and we should not continue to dwell in this non-existent, fantasy world of memories.
Non-attachment and Being Happy
Non-attachment is the ability to let life flow. We accept what life brings us and we accept what life takes away. It is our desires and fears that create happiness- destroying attachments.
Beauty and Happiness
A vacant heart sees no beauty. Beauty is all around us but we fail to see it or hear it because we are blind and deaf to its presence. Opening our heart to beauty reveals to us a magnificent and highly entertaining world we have never seen.
Enlightenment and Liberation
Enlightenment is perfect happiness. Perfect happiness is equanimity or eveness of mind. We no longer go through life kicking and screaming but rather as the joyous observer of a wonderous play.
We Are a Single Unity
Quantum physics reveals the entire universe and everyone and everything in it is a single, living, intelligent unity.
We Are All Children Living in the Dark Cellars of Our Minds
From the time we are born, we are indoctrinated with a dream of gross limitation. We are bound by the stout ropes of our fears.
The Happy Song
This is a short song we can sing to elevate our happiness quotient. It is only a few words and so it is like a mantra.
Being Childlike - Regaining Our Lost Innocence
We want to be childlike but not childish. This takes some practice as it is a state of being that has long been sacrificed on the alter of the ego.
Meditation for Happiness
Enjoy this "for fun" discussion on meditation as a means to arrive at a happy mind.
Amma and Jesus
Both Jesus and Amma taught the path of love as the way to liberation or salvation. If we are not particularly religious, we can use the word "love" in place of "God." "Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love." 1 John 4:7-8 This primal truth is what all religions have in common. Love itself is the aliveness in existence.
