My insight: What is Happiness

 

My Insight: Happiness 








Have you ever been in love? Love of any kind.

The answer will always be positive, accompanied with a smile.

 When  I think back to when I must have first felt love, naturally, as a mother now, I know it must have been seeing MOTHER. What else? We must have felt that warmth and smile first through her.

(While it could be someone or something else during difficult situations, but for most of us, it starts there.)

What actually was that feeling?

That was happiness.

That is what happiness is: LOVE.

So the more you love, the more you are Happy. It's so simple. Fill your heart with love and happiness is permanently yours.


How to fill the heart with love?

Sit calmly and comfortably with your eyes closed.

If any physical pain is hurting you and making it hard to calm down, let's address it directly.

Everyone knows the feeling of love, don't they?

Bring that feeling or gently focus your attention, on the exact spot, where the pain resides. Think of the divine or that warm feeling of love pouring into that area. You will notice subtle shifts as you consciously focus there. Cells seem to respond. Stay there for a while, pouring love. You will notice that the pain subsides for the timebeing. Continue with the process and overtime healing follows.

Now, looking at the simple anatomy of our physical heart—located in the center of the chest, slightly to the left:

Sit calmly with your eyes closed. If you can feel it without touching, that is wonderful. Otherwise, place your right hand on your chest and feel it pumping life into you.

There it is. Pour love onto it, as if you are holding a bucket full of love instead of water. When you flood your heart this way, you forget the feeling of hatred. And when this happens, you are total love.

That is happiness. It is a state of mind reached whenever we are empty of extra, cluttered thinking. We often tie happiness to fortune or success, but that is only because we love those things. Love is the elementary need for happiness. Love everything, and happiness will permanently be yours.

My Prescription for Happiness

Start meditation: No complex techniques are needed. Just sit straight with a aligned spine, or lie down in a supine position, and simply be in the present moment.

Focus on the senses: This means not overthinking, but feeling—notice the heartbeat, the breath inhaling and exhaling, the touch of your surroundings, or a pattern inside your closed eyelids.

Keep it simple: Choose the easiest way to turn inward. Start with just a few minutes a day.

A Quick Caution:

You will start with just a few minutes, but with continuous practice, your inner threshold will have no limits, bringing profound positive changes to your life. If you want true happiness—not materialistic or worldly—my ultimate recommendation is MEDITATION.

Life- Philosophy for relationships

Title: Life- Philosophy for relationships Scientifically, it is well-known that positive and negative always attract each other, just like in the case of atoms, electrons and poles etc. Gathering the stored information in all these 48 years of my life, there are some very interesting observations made. The inferences made by me are made by considering the life of all whom I know. Maybe they are not correct for all. Now that you are reading my article, then just try and consider comparing it to the life of your near and dear ones. It is going to be like a survey where you fill questionnaires and by studying them an inference or report is made. Here the difference is that we are all going to fill the questionnaire ourselves and try to read whether there is a common mechanism or process which revolves around how everything works and are systematically managed stepwise in the universe. While observing, always try to compare the positives and negatives, or you can say the opposites. Now you...

Poetry: Little did I knew

Poetry: Little did I knew LITTLE DID I KNEW  Little did l know that the sky is not the limit. I read it, I heard it but never thought of measuring it. Those who say it, have dared to walk down it. I saw it blue and overhead. Never did I try to raise my hand. Till now I was kneeling, never stood up and stretched. Not even try to be on my toes, and reach a scale nearer. Just the thought of trying dwells your path a step forward, the next always follows. Think and everything is possible. Little did I know, that " sky is not the limit" is not just a phrase and that phrases shape out of acts. Little did I know, that there are millions, who have already found their way, and reached beyond SKY. Interested in POETRY!  You can READ MORE . Thanks. Poetry: poet-tree Poetry: Boundaries

Short Story in English : Sunanda's Mother by law

Image
    SUNANDA'S MOTHER BY LAW   Sunanda was having her tea sitting beside the rocking easy chair of her mamma. "Mamma" as she called her.  Her biological mother left her, as everybody says when she was only four. She has seen her in old black-and-white pictures. Those pics were as if Sunanda had tried to go back in time. She was a true copy of her mother, but she became a true copy of her 'mamma' when it comes to her character. Today it's the third day that the chair beside her has been vacant.  For the past 33 years, she must have rarely left her on her own. And after Saurabh left them, six yrs back she was always there with her like her shadow.  The shadow made her figure prominent and outstanding.  Sunanda, what she is today, is a new persona than what she used to be when she got married.   The "woman" she called Mamma, helped her change the mould to make her the woman that she is now. And of course, her son Arnabh did the final polishing o...
