Happiness is Easy

Normally we seek happiness in our relationships. But happiness comes from our own mind, our inner peace. Consequently we expect too much from our relationships and instead of them producing the happiness and harmony we long for, we experience anxiety, disappointment and frustration. In this course we will learn a simple and effective meditation to cultivate happiness and to connect to our potential for lasting happiness and freedom. Rather than seeking happiness in our relationships, we will learn how to bring happiness to our relationships ... and to every facet of our life. The inner confidence that arises from this approach enables us to use even our difficulties as the means to grow spiritually and to progress towards a lasting experience of happiness, known as liberation.
