your tribe, your community; then connect, take action,
& get involved. Patients with nourishing relationships,
even with just pets, make better recoveries.
Wisdom & spiritual traditions, authorities on
happiness, & medical researchers concur that connectivity
is key in living happier & healthier.
5- Nourish your body in Yang Sheng life giving
ways. Focus on giving to yourself. Gift yourself a
massage. Let yourself be touched. Walking, singing,
dancing, &/or just sounding your voice, or
moving your body, in some simple repetitive pattern,
are also measurably therapeutic. Treat yourself,
to truly only organic whole Real Foods to eat,
as fresh as possible.
6- Surround yourself with uplifting, happy people.
Be discerning of the company you keep. One fascinating
study reports that happiness is a collective
process, & contagious. You’re likelier to be happy,
in the web of life, simply being connected with people
who are already happy, whether or not you personally
know them.
7- Be still, & know … Over the years, I’ve two patients
who deserve awards for Happiness. Both are
quadriplegics, one at the hand of her ex. Hearing
their stories, I asked, “Are you crazy? How can you
be so happy?” One replied: “What else is there?”
The other: “I know my Maker, & that’s enough for
me.” Marci Shimoff, best selling author of Happy
for No Reason, reports in her survey of indigenous
shamans & elders on happiness; that besides making
time to sing, dance, & connect; the fourth common
practice they shared is to make time daily, to be
still. By whatever name you may call “universal
Qi” - With each breath, connect to the still small
voice within, eternal Presence, that gives you a
sense, as Einstein put it, that this is indeed a friendly
universe.
I’ve few & far between “happy” childhood memories.
The good news is that Qi works. Happiness is
indeed a choice, not always easy, but hands down
happier.
The Chinese word for “crisis” translates as either
“danger” or “opportunity.” No matter what challenges,
changes, or so called obstacles you may be
facing, perhaps it’s time to ask yourself: What gives
YOU real Happiness? What are your true needs?
What makes you feel loved? Unconditionally accepted
as is? Worthy? Once you’ve set your intention,
Happy, in Qi terminology, is best “emitted” &/
or “transmitted.” If there’s anything we can do,
here at Yang-Sheng, to help you catch it, we’re here.
Blessings & Happy Qi!

All said, Qi Masters, & “experts” on Happiness,
often are not naturally Happy. I, myself, confess
that finding “Happy” for much of my life, has been
painfully elusive. With my foster home background,
