Everybody has the power to be happy, right?
So why isn't everybody happy?
Most of us haven't been taught how to be happy. Yes, that's right. There is a skill to being happy! Not only that, but we may have been taught how to be unhappy. And of course, there is our karma. Some of us have a little more to work on, but it can be done!
Social scientists have discovered that like gratitude, happiness can be learned and developed. Research has confirmed that up to 40 percent of happiness is generated by your habits and activities (i.e. smile often, practice gratitude, have good social connections, eat well, exercise, think happy thoughts, find time for what makes you happy, and more!). Happiness is a practical skill that you can easily learn and share with others! You can practice being happy and achieve happiness!
It does take some effort for some of us, especially those of us who have been unhappy for a long time. If you struggle with depression, for example, happiness might seem to be a far reach, or even a dream. But it is possible to release the depression and find happiness.
And research demonstrates that those "who have" are not happier on the whole than those who "have not" (beyond a certain level of poverty). That is, happiness is not dependent upon what we have and don't have. As much as we believe we will be happy (or happier) when some certain thing happens or comes, it doesn't prove to be true. This may seem a tough pill to swallow, but waiting for something to happen before you get happy is a big mistake. It keeps you from the happiness you can have right in this moment, and the happiness you can have right in this moment is what will bring you more happiness and more of what you want in life.
But for now, let's practice entering the happy vibration by chanting the "happy mantra!" In soul healing, the One-Sentence-Secret to Sound Power is: What you chant is what you become.
Master Sha has led his students often with this practice. In English the mantra is "happy happy happy happy"; in Chinese it is "kuaile (pronounced quilla, long "i") kuaile kuaile kuaile" and in Master Sha's soul language it is, "hey ya ya ya ya ya you yi".
Are you ready?
Body Power: Lets move on this one! If you can, stand up and put your mind in your lower abdomen. Relax your arms until you are move and then move or dance according to your soul's guidance, after the invocation and while you chant the mantra.
