Episode 49: Finding Joy in Knowing What Makes You Tick

A “Joy that has no opposite” can be realized when we use mindfulness techniques to explore awareness. Happiness is wonderful too, but - as an emotion - comes and goes. The “Joy of Being” is always present. We discuss Joy as an essence of authentic human life that gets covered up by habitual thinking, discursive thoughts, and the overwhelm of negative information coming into our lives every day. Our usual ways of thinking, creating expectations, making judgments, reacting to news, making plans- all are part of what “makes us tick”. By exploring the awareness of what “makes us tick”, a perspective shift occurs as we begin to identify with the deeper sense of awareness where the “Joy of Being” is gradually realized. Interestingly, as we work with this, what “makes us tick” will migrate towards the innate qualities of Joy, Peace, Love and Generosity – charting a path for an open hearted life with less suffering that is open and helpful to others.
