The Joy Of Being You

How many of us go through our daily lives far too tightened up and contracted, reacting to stressful circumstances with numb hearts and shallow breath?

This way of being lessens our aliveness, compromises our health and robs us of joy. Simple techniques of conscious breathing, body grounding and thought investigation can help us calm our world and open our heart to life’s invitation to fully participate and become present. Discover that you can be grateful for the journey of life regardless of your circumstances or conditions, moment-by-moment, breath-by-breath.

When it comes to happiness, we tend to think of it as something that depends on having. Having the right relationship, the right body, the right house, the right job, the right life. What if happiness was a given, something that is in our Being - independent of what we have or of external circumstances and conditions?

What if happiness was a chemical, a hormone wired in us biologically, which we could activate any time, any place, and under any conditions. What if you had the skill to access happiness with yourself - being the one you have been waiting for,  your beloved - when you most need it: when you're in pain, under stress and pressure, insecure, anxious or feeling depressed? 

The purpose and mission of our work is to help you cultivate the skill of accessing happiness with yourself - presence, and bring it into everything you interact with -your own life, the life of others, the environment and the world.

The purpose of The Joy Of Being You- book and 2 CD's is to help you become open and allow love to enter, fill you with spaciousness and heal in you what you’re mostly afraid of, resistant to and stuck on - on a daily basis. It provides you with simple skills and practices of:

• Accessing your spiritual Intelligence, intuition and good sense, and becoming the one you have been waiting for by:

Aligning with your breath... Synchronizing to the rhythm of your body... Investigating your thoughts..... Waking up your heart... Freeing your spirit... Dancing with abandon...

Read Excerpts from The Joy Of Being You

"The lack of self-love is more than just an individual crisis: it is an ecological hazard. When we condemn and loathe ourselves we tend to condemn others, the world and the way things are. For this reason, we feel alienated from the human family. Conversely, loving ourselves unites us with the world and makes it a happier place. Only by reconnecting to presence - our authentic selves, can we be connected to the world at large."

"To love and appreciate yourself is to love and appreciate all of creation - because in love there is no separation. People who love themselves make the world a happier place, and that is cause for celebration."

"The surrendered state is the loving place we reach when we are out of the controlling state of the Ego Fear Mind. In the surrendered state we dwell in our being, our attention is ‘dropped’ from the head to the heart and core. In this state we trust in life to do the navigation, and we participate willingly and with trust."

"Self-love as a concept can be challenging. For many it brings up concerns about self-centeredness, selfishness and narcissism. As a practice however it takes on another energy. It is not about ourselves loving ourselves; it is about being open to love as the purest, most powerful and finest energy that we are. It means allowing love to fill us – especially where we’re bruised and feel un-whole – and accepting that everything that’s happening is not done to us but is happening through us, and is an opening for love. Especially, the parts we most want to hate, negate and do away with.

"I want to invite you to embark on a journey. This could be the most exciting and beneficial journey of your life. It is a journey into yourself, with the sole purpose for you to become more familiar and befriend yourself, and bring more heart, more soul, more love and more joy into your life."
