The Heart of Happiness

Imagine being able to go beyond the limitations of the mind and directly access your Higher Self to help you with the challenges in your life? That is exactly what Julienne Rose experienced in early May 2012 when she received guidance for herself and to share this information with others through her book, The Heart of Happiness. The Heart of Happiness is about the human and spiritual perspectives around seven major issues of Life. Each chapter firstly shares Julienne’s human experience, which provides the platform for the following spiritual guidance through the messages and meditations. In sharing this it allows the reader to gain insights and parallels to assist in their own lives. Interactive in style, this book is designed not just to be read but to be integrated into daily life through the healing meditations. This gives a multi-dimensional perspective and understanding of each life issue that many people face. The purpose of The Heart of Happiness is to restore happiness in peoples’ lives with a simple process of heart-centred healing. The human experiences are at times humorous, at other times sad, reflecting the sometimes difficult life journey Julienne has been on. It becomes very apparent why the associated spiritual readings and meditations have come through in this specific way to assist with her healing. The messages and meditations are available in audio form on the accompanying website, www.hearthappiness.org and are free to download.

BC) What is Heart Happiness? Heart Happiness differs from head happiness where we are happy to have something or someone there. Heart Happiness is being happy. Full stop! Being happy as our natural state of Being. We often measure our happiness by what is happening in our life right now. Yet these are external happenings and it is up to us to decide whether or not we allow them to affect our natural state of happiness. Watch a child at play or an animal moving in nature. They are fully content and happy in the moment. What a wonderful state to be in rather than in our head, worrying and fretting about what has gone or what might happen. Learning some simple readings and meditations to shift from state of continuously wanting and striving towards goals and intentions that seldom bring us the happiness we think they will, to a state of being happy regardless of what is happening to our life. Happiness is not something we have to learn or work hard at. It is our natural state of being. To remember and restore that happiness is the only task at hand. Happiness is within us at all times. If it wasn’t there we would not be able to function or be alive. To restore happiness we have to remember ourselves as we were before life’s experiences added all the overlays. When we connect to our heart centre and bypass our mind where all the overlays reside, then it is a direct channel to our happiness within. We never again need external resources i.e. people, things, events, experiences etc to be happy. The human experiences are perceived uniquely and that is all each of us has as there is no reality, just our own. Figure that out! It took me a while to get that and it was a great shock when I finally realised that not everyone saw the world as I did and maybe that was why there was such a feeling of disconnection and mis-communications in my life. To take that even further, I came to understand that the world I lived in and experienced was my own creation and summation of my life experiences. To be able to re-create my world and reality has been the most significant gift to myself and in doing this, a gift also to others. I feel very grateful and blessed to have been given the insights and understandings through the readings and meditations and they have helped me hugely in my personal journey dealing with my own personal challenges. I hope they help others in whatever way they are meant to. Message: Heart Happiness We are happiness. We are pure happiness. Everything else around us is overlays, overlays of experience, overlays of thoughts, overlays of things. Underneath all of those overlays we just are pure happiness. Conception, even pre conception, we start to accumulate these overlays that blur out that light, that happiness that always is there and as we remove the overlays of life, we experience more and more of this pure happiness that leads us to that joy, that inner peace most people are seeking as they add more and more overlays to try and find that happiness. We don’t have to find happiness. Happiness is already there. We have to remember it and restore happiness and there is no point in replacing one overlay with another overlay because it is still clouding out that light. We experience moments that are close to happiness and this is what keeps us seeking it. Undoubtedly with everyone on this planet, if you look at our behaviours and what we’re doing with our lives, we’re all in the pursuit of happiness. The irony is that the happiness is in us, we just have to remember it. Where does our happiness reside? It’s in all our cells but we can restore and remember our happiness through our heart. Our heart has more cells and more strength than any other organ in our body. In moving to our heart to find that happiness, it is all we have to do to be happy. We don’t have to give up all those things and experiences and people that we think have made us happy. That’s all part of happiness, our expressions of our happiness. As long as they are expressions of our happiness and our happiness is still intact, then if those things, those people, those experiences and those objects disappear we still have the core of happiness within us. It’s not going to be upset and overturned by those changes called life.
