 Happiness is a butterfly, which, when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will set down quietly, may alight upon you.

–Nathaniel Hawthorne

Happiness is a state that is attainable for each one of us at any given moment of the day; however, it is a conscious choice we must make. Here are the five ways that I personally fill my capacity for spiritual happiness.

1. Meditate or pray. Each and every morning, as I awaken, I lie in meditation. I breathe through each part of my body and awaken the energy in each cell. Then I focus on each of my chakras and imagine them as my favorite flowers: first chakra is a red rose, second chakra is an orange poppy, third chakra is a yellow sunflower, etc… I imagine them blooming vibrantly. Once I have gone through each chakra, I connect to Universe and bring its energy through the crown of my head and let it flow through my entire being and out my feet into Mother Earth. Next I pull Mother Earth energy up through my feet and through my entire being and out into Universe. Finally I listen. I listen for God’s wisdom, angel wisdom, ancient wisdom, or guided wisdom. Sometimes it comes in pictures, sometimes it comes in words, sometimes it comes in numbers. And, sometimes it doesn’t come at all. No matter what occurs during this sacred time, I always come back into consciousness peaceful and happy.
2. Be around children. They are my best teachers for happiness. The simple acts of blowing bubbles, running through sprinklers, singing songs, or making a silly face can bring the gutteral laugh of joy booming out of the smallest child. In the presence of the innocent, happiness is a natural by-product.
3. Get outside. God’s gifts of spiritual happiness are everywhere I look: from a puffy cloud in the shape of an elephant, to the sound of hummingbird wings flapping wildly, to the smell of a lilac bush outside my door. The possibilities of being brought to a sense of gladness are limitless when I pay attention to our natural world.
4. Move the body. Every cell in my body craves movement, although the type of movement varies from day to day. Sometimes my body feels like the steady motion of my bicycle. The rhythmic cadence of my pedals and the wind blowing across my skin brings me joy. Other days my body is more in the mood to be cradled by the water at the hot springs and submerged in its silence. Many times, my body wants to get its groove on. Then it has a mind of its own as it shakes, shimmies, and gyrates to music. Joy pours out of my body in movement.
5. Be surrounded by loving people. I seek people who are expressing happiness and love, and I stick close to them. They have found the secrets to spiritual bliss and the more I am in their presence, the more I discover my own fountain of happiness and love. I give my attention to what I want in my life and steer clear of everything else.

Whatever brings you spiritual happiness, honor it. It is your guide to self discovery and higher levels of consciousness.
