Where Joy Can Be Found

by Jason Espada

Where Joy Can Be Found is about the happiness that is essential for each of our flourishing. We may think of joy as a luxury, as something we can get only when we’re finished with our day to day tasks, or after achieving some goal. The reality is that we need this quality that enlivens all throughout our life, if we’re going to bring out the best we have in us. “If we develop the habit of focusing on what is right about ourselves and this life, and being nourished by it, the world opens up for us. Miracles are found everywhere, whole worlds of possibilities make themselves known to us, along with the energy to accomplish great things, both seen and not seen to the outside world.” - From Two Ways We Can Condition the Mind, page 7. “To get the most out of any meditation, we have to enter into it consciously, and remain aware. Just as with the breathing meditation, when looking at a picture, or, bringing some positive memory to mind, or listening to music, we can identify the positive, uplifting energy, and, immersing ourselves in it for a time, we can allow this beautiful energy to saturate our body and mind, through and through. We can enjoy the feeling, and remain awake with it.” - From On Nourishing Ourselves with Joy, page 26
