Overview
Written without "yoga jargon," Feeling Happy explores the nature of happiness as a basic human capacity-and illuminates how suffering, imbalanced emotion, and confusion can cast a veil over one's ability to truly feel happy.
What is the fully embodied experience of happiness, and is there any way for it to last? Feeling Happy helps you explore what happiness is and offers practical steps toward cultivating happiness as a deep, embodied expression of life and connection to others.Using familiar examples from everyday life, traditional understanding of one's search for happiness, stories, and humor, Freeman and Taylor demonstrate how to find your way back home to the essence of who you are, and the direct experience of what it feels like to be truly happy.
The book offers 24 accessible practices-meditations, simple movements, and breathing exercises-along with 22 black-and-white illustrative photos as guides along the path toward fully embodying happiness. These practices together with insight into the nature of being, will allow you to wake up and integrate the physical body, heart, and mind through the breath so that even in difficult times, compassion, equanimity, and happiness can emerge.
Richard Freeman and Mary Taylor draw from their years of experience practicing and teaching yoga, meditation and the philosophical interfacing of yoga and Buddhism to explore what happiness is and to offer practical steps toward cultivating happiness as a deep, embodied expression of life. They offer insight into the nature of happiness as a basic human capacity-and illuminate how suffering, imbalanced emotion, and confusion can cast a veil over one's ability to truly feel happy.
Some of the practices included-
Focusing and calming the mind
Observing and engaging the breath as a guide
Working with difficulty and vulnerability
Keeping a tender and open heart
Building authenticity and presence
Attuning to yourself and to others
Cultivating kindness and compassion in complex times
And more
