A Joyful Life

Our bodies are made up of three basic aspects: body (physical) mind (emotion) and spirit (life force energy). Many spiritual traditions have additional terms and ideas about the subtleties of these aspects of our physical and energy bodies. For the purposes of this guide I will give a general overview and understanding of your body/mind/spirit and ways to take care of yourself and to maintain a healthy environment. Throughout the course of my life there have been many times when I went through difficult periods that tested my ability to stay happy and loving toward family and friends. Over the last few decades when trying times occurred I found an increasing number of ways to bring myself back to joy and love each time. This book is a collection of these techniques that will give you a toolbox of skills to use when you need to bring yourself back to a happier and more loving state of mind. Please feel free to use the techniques that work well for you and leave the ones that don't.
