Your Happiness

Your Happiness by Stephanie

"The greatest adventure you can have is to live the life of your dreams." - Oprah 

Who's in charge of your happiness? You are!

Why do I say this?

I've dedicated my life to learning how to live each day in the present according to my highest purpose. I've been learning myself in order to teach others. After all...when we teach, we learn twice!

Why am I writing about happiness?
It's one of the main reasons people come to me. And...
One of the greatest lessons I've learned while studying with Eckhart Tolle is that life isn't here to make us happy. What!!! Exhale. Life is here to make us awaken...so that we may choose to be happy.


What does that mean?
If happiness is our goal, we will often find ourselves unhappy. As we know, life gives us challenges. One minute all is well...the next minute not so much. And our emotional state takes the hit each time.

When things are going well, we attach. When things aren't going so well, we detach. Hence the practices of non-attachment we speak of in yoga,
shamanism, meditation, other spiritual paths to help us stay in balance.

What I have learned, continue to practice, and want to share is this: t
When our focus is on "awakening", meaning-- waking up to who we are, what we want, and why we are here...a funny thing happens.

​
We actually end up experiencing more more happiness!!!
Why?
Because we learn how to live a meaningful life, a life that is aligned with what matters most to us, not someone else or some ideal.

Quite simply, we start taking action on the things that make us "happy" on the inside - things that bring us joy, peace, love.  Things that give us a sense we are living a "meaningful" life.

How each of us defines a "meaningful" life varies across time, space, personality, etc.
As an example, have you ever known a person who is living their life to the fullest by doing only the things that bring them joy? Maybe these people irritate you? It seems so selfish of them!!!  Ahhh... or not. Maybe taking care of our own needs is the greatest act of self love we can experience.  Because when we love ourselves, we are able to love others.
​

So, while we may have moments of happy/unhappy in our life as challenges arise, when we fully commit to awakening, we are clear on our purpose even when the path is uncertain. We gain tools to weather the storms. In the end, we realize it's our choice to be happy and live the life of our dreams...or not.

I support you!

>>>If you're ready to choose happiness, book a meditation or energy session with me here.

Namaste,
Stephanie

What: 75 Minute Yin Yoga with Stephanie in a heated room

When: Wednesdays @ 6:45PM

Where: Hot Phiit @ 79 Pondfield Road, Bronxville

​>>>Register Here

Yin yoga stretches and targets both the deep connective tissues between the muscles, and the fascia throughout the body. The aim is to increase circulation in the joints and improve flexibility. Because of the slow nature of the practice and focus on breathing, yin yoga also gives us the opportunity to experience a meditative state.



In Yin Yoga, postures are held from one to 10 minutes. The effect of gravity, over time, stretches and compresses the denser tissues, pushing out toxins, pulling in nutrients, and tugging on the joints, bones and fascia (connective tissue), especially in the spine, low back, hips, and thighs. Relaxing the muscles allows the joints to stretch toward their complete range of motion.


With consistent practice, we experience greater ease of motion with less effort. We feel more relaxed and lighter when we free up adhesion's and “gluing” that solidify the fascia, due to aging, injury, and lifestyle. Sometimes we even become taller as our alignment and the denser tissues respond to stretching. We also may notice more peaceful moments throughout our day as we learn to slow down and breathe.
