To seek happiness outside ourselves is like trying to lasso a cloud. Happiness is not a thing: It is a state of mind. It must be lived. Most people delay their happiness trying to make the outer world “just right.” But we know that almost never happens.

So is life meant to be lived in gloom except for those few fleeting moments of happiness? Not at all! By learning how to be happy at will using scientific techniques one can achieve inner happiness that is immune to outer inconveniences. Discover:

  • The Happiness Trap: Why do we fail to find happiness outside ourselves?
  • Where Does True Happiness Lie?
  • “Happiness Thieves” and How to Avoid Them
  • The Little-Known Link Between Our Energy and Happiness

We’ll also learn how to address specific harmful emotions that keep us from happiness:

Anxiety and Stress: We’ll learn a powerful 30-second exercise that has been proven to short-circuit the body’s stress response, helping one tangibly feel calm and relaxed throughout the body and mind.

Anger and Disappointment: Learning to differentiate between external triggers of anger and disappointment and the deeper internal origins of these emotions. Most importantly, we’ll learn 2-3 practical techniques to activate our forebrain and help us positively transcend negative emotions.

Insecurities: To become aware of why we truly feel insecure in life (about ourselves or other people) and how through a simple mental shift we can replace insecurity with a deep feeling of inner security. We’ll practice a universal technique that is used to reinforce the positivity of the mind in order to help us feel truly secure in ourselves.

Moods: Experiencing moods, either occasionally or for prolonged periods of time, can be a real drain on our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. We’ll share the subtle yogic reason for moods and feelings of melancholy and how through simple breathwork and music we can instantly banish them.

Loneliness: We’ll discuss and understand why, despite having so many people in our lives and despite our 24/7 hyperconnectivity with others (through the phone and social media), we all can feel lonely and empty at times. But there is a definite way to rise above feelings of loneliness and replace them with feelings of inner contentment and deep connectedness with others.
