what is happiness? (seriously).

This is a question that we all ask ourselves at some point in our lives, and especially when things are not going well.

We’d like to believe that happiness lies in the external world: in a larger house, beautiful possessions, a better job, the newest apps, toys or gadgets, or the perfection of our own physical form. We turn to our loved ones and expect them to make us happy, and yet so often they, like our material pursuits, fall short. Why?

The secret (the deeper reality, the one hidden from our view), is that our experience of the physical world is a mirror of our internal reality. Possessions can bring us physical comfort and aesthetic pleasure, but experiences of awe, joy, peace, gratitude, contentment and love are what generate true happiness.

The more access we have to these emotions, the more we experience happiness. Conversely, the more our daily life experience includes physical pain, limiting beliefs about ourself or the world, or heavy emotions like depression, anxiety, anger, guilt or shame, the more occluded our access to the state we collectively call “happiness”.

Thus, if we want to find happiness, we have to start by looking inside. What past experiences linger in our subconscious? Can we locate the events in our life that have generated physical pain, limiting beliefs or negative emotions, and process these moments so they no longer impact on our present reality?

That is the work that I help you do.
