Meditation for Happiness
For many of us, our lifestyles can be quite hectic: family life, work, financial problems, studies. These are areas where we are constantly in search of validation, recognition, and appreciation. And this is what makes us drained, eternally unsatisfied, and unhappy.
When we blame something or someone for our unhappiness, we have to remember that it is our perception of events and thus how we respond to them that allows us to be happy or not.
The quest for happiness must go through deeply personal work and a change of perspective of reality. Meditation helps us do just that!
Meditation is taking time to observe our thoughts, our breath, and our physical sensations. Focusing on the breath especially brings the mind back to the here and now. Like an anchor that helps us not to get caught up in our never-ending stream of thoughts.
The mind is constantly wandering between yesterday and tomorrow trying to solve problems. Try to anchor yourself in the present moment, which meditation supports both during and outside of the sessions. This allows you to be more in tune with yourself and your feelings.

See things from a higher perspective
Train your brain to observe and describe what is happening in your body and mind without judgment. This is what actually allows you to distance yourself from your thoughts.
By practicing meditation, we no longer identify with our ideas. For example, instead of saying that we are angry, we say that we feel anger. We accept it and let it go without going into mental ramblings.
So when we are faced with an unpleasant situation, this distance allows us to observe our physical and emotional reactions. Not react immediately under their impulse.
Change your reaction to negative emotions
Non-judgment and acceptance of all things, including the most destructing thoughts, helps us to know ourselves better and to regulate our emotions. With meditation, we can detect the first signals of anger earlier and accept its presence instead of denying it or expressing it violently. It becomes a cloud that’s just passing over our heads, but we know that this is all it does: it passes.
Meditation does not make you impassive nor does it reduce the charge of the emotion, but it changes your reaction to this event. So by reducing the impact of the negative emotional feelings, meditation contributes to happiness and a sense of control over our own life.
Regardless of your level of wisdom, you will experience pain and anger. But what will change is the duration and intensity of these feelings. This presence makes us aware of the beautiful things in our lives. By cultivating this state through daily practice, you can find this key to happiness.
