SOLD: Beautiful Happyzine

It seems to me that there are some misgivings about appearing happy and filled with joy in public. Its as if to do so is to show yourself as slightly crazy, and so we might hide our joy in public, even with family and friends might we feel uncomfortable.

What if someone looks at us when we are supremely happy. Might they not think we were weird or dangerous. Might there be some consequences.

Usually though, it’s just what we think might happen, being that it’s so unusual to live like that. Although you can never be sure how others will react. It’s a bit of a gamble.

Once you get used to being a lot happier, anywhere and everywhere, there is a confidence that tells other people that it’s right to be this happy… Really!

Of course this brings us to the how to be Happy bit, doesn’t it?

Well, I can reveal one way it might work for you, and it’s not the way it happened to me, and I’m working on that. For me it just happened, but I’m convinced that I can somehow through intuition find teaching devices.

For now, let me offer the Actors Method. An actor remembers a time when a certain state of feeling was strong. The idea is to access that feeling many times by remembering, and then staying with the feelings.

These feelings will be felt in the body as sensations, mine for instance are in the chest and forehead. The actor after awhile can let the memory activation go, and the feeling can be turned on just by intention. The actor gets a set of switches used to tell the stories in tones of feelings. We non actor types can just focus on the subset of happiness, contentment, compassion, and muster up those memories.  I used to act, so I too played with these things. But I never in those days thought much about Happiness.

Give it a go, what have you got to lose.

Speak soon,
