Happiness - The Yin and Yang of Balance

Happiness is more of a dynamic and living energy than a static or dead state of mind, in my experience. Happiness is more of a balance between dark and light, heavy and light and other seemingly opposite states.

There is city living, like in NYC and then there is more rural, country living. The pace may be different in different places and you have a choice to move and travel. A prime way to live in peace and harmony is to realize polar opposites and find more appreciation for each side of the fence.

Hypnosis is a kind of communication between the different parts of the mind and body. The very rational, analytical brain appreciates logic and is very linear. ABC, 123.

The subconscious mind holds the emotions and the store house of hidden knowledge and power that to some people seems very dark, mysterious and frightening. It is more the place of the imagination and creative flow and is often very symbolic and loops from various stories and ideas and makes connections in fascinating ways.

Find out how you can strive for a better balance that helps you bounce back from difficulties. Learn to find more gratitude and balance and notice all the ways that your life improves.

In this article, I want to share with you some ways to find more true happiness. This will be more about feelings and living states and less about tips and techniques because I believe in walking my walk and talking my talk.

Many of my articles include tips and techniques and other times I write articles that are more about imparting feelings in others. This is easier to do in person, and so I enjoy the challenge of being able to do this in written form, as well.

From my point of view, happiness is more the ability to fully appreciate joy and ecstasy, while realizing there are flip sides to these pleasurable states, as well.

Even in a big city like New York, NYC you can find happiness and it is closer than you realize. A prime example is how something that seems perfect is not necessarily true or real or the best and how some quirk or imperfection can sometimes make all the difference. It just feels right to you and you know it.

Happiness is less about reaching a static state and more about becoming more dynamic and bouncing back from hardship and learning lessons that help you to grow and become an even better person.

Happiness is not a place as much as it is the energies you place around you and that you think about in your mind and feel in your body. Life is a process and so is happiness.

Acceptance is one of the master keys to any real happiness and so as you breath and read and consider which of these points helps you feel the best, you can continue to read onward...

For instance, have you ever noticed how some smiles really light up a room? Often they are not the cliched, picture perfect Hollywood white toothy grin. It is more about the energy of the person and how you can tell it is a real smile that gives the true smile its power to warm you.

The real smile warms you in its glow and as you bask in it you feel really good and happy without needing to know why. There is nothing wrong with having a beautiful, white, straight toothed smile as long as it also has this true warmth. Yet, often the most beautiful face has at least one so called flaw that makes it unique and somehow special.

So when I write the word "happiness" you can consider happiness in these terms and you may discover more happiness in your life and even more good feelings to come. (I am not saying that I am right or correct, yet some people would rather be right than happy)

Also, rather than the static, rosy colored glasses, and all fake smiles, you could realize more of a sense of self acceptance that will radiate outward to all those you meet.

Imagine, just for a moment, even as you are reading these words and wondering about their meaning...your meaning may become more meaningful as you realize more of a sincere and inner sense of calm acceptance, now and from now on...

Self acceptance flows with self respect and most good feelings and experiences flow from those dynamic states.

So from now on there could be the possibility for you to accept more love and happiness as you learn to love and accept more easily. In fact, the more you learn to accept yourself ( flaws and all ) the more you will learn to accept others, and the more they will feel this deeper understanding and wisdom and this will get you more and more happiness.

Some of the above words may have influenced you more than others, just as some people can make you feel better about yourself.

Imagine your life, from now on, where you become more of this type of person who makes others feel good about themselves. It could be that this will make you feel even better about yourself and make others feel even better in your presence and even just thinking about you will bring a real smile to their face and perhaps even make them happy, or happier, too :) Just some good suggestions...
