Happiness

Happiness... 

Walking down the street you see something in the shop window, which you desire. You feel a sense of unhappiness when you  can’t afford this item.  So you go off and work to save money because you feel incomplete without this item and after two months you purchase the item.

This simple scenario and one which I’m sure most of us if not all can relate to reveals something very powerful. 

It is simply that, you  were happy before wanting this item and are now happy after purchasing  this item...

In other words it was the want or the need that made you unhappy. 

The idea that you had a scarcity, the lack which created this want and need which moved you into a distortion of unhappiness. 

In other words we are already happy, we just believe we are not because of the ideas that we have around lack, scarcity and so we create the wound to feel unhappy, to make us feel unhappy and unwhole.

The other perspective of looking at happiness  is that there is a void that needs to be filled and is constantly seeking fulfilment. Constantly seeking it to be filled through, alcohol, drugs, going out, material objects etc. Eventually it has to fill in through Self

Love and we have to find out what that is for each of us. 

It’s fluid and ever changing. It has its own relationship with you in this precise moment. 

It always comes back to this. And we have to remind ourselves of this because our life is full of a distractive energy that is always going to take us away from this. 

You will read this and it will resonate in different places and then you will go away, thoughts will move on and your life will begin to take over, which is natural. 

So the key is to find ways in how we  can anchor that self love, in a more stronger, permanent and continuous manner. This is the work. 

Keeping up with a level of practice which fills you up. What is it that will fill you up and make you feel good?This will always be YOU. 

Yes, experiences will this also to an extent. But the part that is nothing to do with anything outside of you. The part When you feel your own connection. Practice Through mediation, exercise, writing, dancing, yoga, deep breathing, walking in nature, until you pass that frustrating and distractive energy. 

Embrace the loneliness, relating the void. All of your attachments will  come up, your needs to contact etc. And then you’re on your own... and there’s part of me which hasn’t been nurtured and it’s not going to get this  from outside or through connection with others. 

This part is seeking Your own nourishment. 

It’s another paradox. It Involves being unhappy first. Meeting that unhappiness and being with it and if it leads to a state of happiness and peace... for me that peace and happiness are connected in that way but I can’t get there unless I meet that happiness or the part which seeks to be filled. 

The universe can trigger this. 

Or You May meet it consciously. Manoeuvre your life in a direction that is more attuned to who you are and what you truly want instead of being obscured by unconscious desires for that void to be filled. 

There’s more questions then answers.

Questioning our happiness…

We are at the doorstep of something revolutionary.

This new consciousness is birthing  through each of us as we question, explore, experiment and it may seem that we are being lead to more states of confusion, depression or anxiety or a lack of connections. 

But, These are the states that we are moving between paradigms of thought. It’s going to be confusing and feel insecure and feel unstable. It’s a brave place to be. 

In the unknown. 

The key is not to get stuck in there. 

So we meet our shadows, our dark side, our unhappiness, to be more real with everything. It doesn’t take us into a negative place, it does the opposite. It Starts to Open our heart. A heart opening experience which fills me with compassion and allows me to have a deeper and true connection with the outer world.
