What is happiness? Happiness may differ from one person to another, but we are all in pursuit of almost the same things: love, peace, abundance, health, longevity, and other.

How do we express happiness?

This is almost universal. First you want to share the feeling, it seems that if you are the only one who enjoys your “victory” it is just sad, and so you need someone to share that joy. Sharing is what makes us feel even better, the sweeter is the victory.

So separation, individualism is not the way to happiness.

Another thing you may feel is to jump out of joy, to scream, is like every chakra has touched a full potential, like every cell of your body is energized. You fell so good that you can run for miles, there is no fatigue in your body, and you have to let it out. To send that vibe as far as possible.

So your mind will always understand happiness trough the expansion of your body, through the cells when they are energized, proper nutrition, oxygenation. A healthy body generates happiness. Your brain doesn’t make the difference, you can use movements in order to generate signals to your brain which are similar with the ones the brain is generating when a feeling of “happiness” takes part.

It is your soul who wants to expand, when he is experiencing positive vibes. He wants to explode, because it follows the same rules as the universe, his purpose is to expand, and it needs to have space in the body to manifest, to create a flow of energy without blockages.

All this blockages are either due to lack of inactivity, suppressed emotions, unfulfilled desires, etc. And they are sucking the energy of your body, or acting as blockages for the energy to pass freely.

Sadness manifest itself the opposite way, you want to destroy things, you want to get small, to hide, to be alone, “flexion”.

Hell was described by many wise minds as a lonely soul. A lonely soul is the hardest thing to bear, you can be in hell but if you have someone by your side, things are just easier. Sharing pain makes it goes away, even if just a little. And that is the expression-expansion of your heart chakra speaking, socializing, creating vibration.

Yoga’s main preoccupation is to open the body, to energize the cells, to reduce/destroy blockages, is preparing the body to experience a new level of energy. Is like enlarging the resistance of your body so it can support higher forms of happiness and energies, and maintain them.

Yoga is just creating space for the soul to manifest, to trust who you are, to fall in love of yourself, doubt less what you feel, use your intuition more, creates a fearless expression of yourself.

This is what everyone is actually searching for, to feel free and not judged, for what they are and what they feel, a fearless expression of who they are, so they don t feel the need of approval or justification in front of anybody.

You may say no, but then take a close look to the people surrounding you. Are  they not your friends, the people who makes you feel appreciated, loved by who you are, yes they may judge, but they do so, because your ego is to big sometimes, they correct the impure things in you, search for your betterment.

Society created an utopic image of what a person should be, something that cannot be reached, and is making you frustrate and follow that your whole life. Just because you want to have a feeling of belonging.

But this is your beauty, your perfection, your uniqueness, the “bad and good” together, the fact that you work towards your betterment, that you follow your heart and passion, that you are euphoric, enthusiastic about your hobbies.

Paulo Coelho said something like “When you do what you love, and get lost into that action, you have a feeling of God in you, you create something out of love, out of God, you are being used by God in that moment.”

Love all the sides of you, accept and have more patience with the things you want to change about yourself. Develop kindness and patience towards all living things. Do not harm yourself, try not to harm others.

Open your mind, be more in touch with your soul, increases the empathy you have toward others. Become more compassionate. Raise your awareness level.

You will realize that the pursuit of your goals and happiness is by taking joy, in your actions, it may take sacrifice sometimes, but doing what you love will get you less attached to your goals.

Make small changes every day to your betterment. Even if is one more breath that you are aware of, or a small kind of kindness. A thought of gratitude, for who you are today, and take pride in all the courage and situation you have dealt with. Being here today is just another proof of how strong you are, and how stronger you can become.

The awareness and search of spirituality, is growing all around us. It is your decision if you want to do small steps towards your happiness, or steps behind, hiding in your comforts and fears.

“You can only die once, but fear, can make you experience “death” 1000 times.”
