The happy buddha
HAPPINESS IS WHAT YOU ARE, UNHAPPINESS IS WHAT YOU DO The happy buddha has one aim, to reveal the natural joy that sits within your very being. This natural joy is obscured because, we live in our head listening to the voices of criticism, doom, judgement all day long. It doesn't have to be like this. The happy buddha with his 30 years experience will show you how to come out of your head and into your life.
Many of us live in our head, listening all day to the nonsense chatter. This meditation is about living in the senses, alive and present.

The mind is forever in movement, with chatter, judgements, commenting on what doesn't matter and more. We get hooked into all this and it disturbs us.
All the while there is this mental noise there is also stillness which we miss constantly.
In this meditation Suryacitta will point out this very stillness.

We see effortlessness every day in nature. A tree doesn't try to grow, the wind doesn't try to blow harder than it is. An oak tree doesn't resent another oak for being taller.
Effortlessness is also a part of our experience. You don't have to grow your hear, you have to try and breath or to beat your heart.
In this effortless meditation Suryacitta will take you on a journey to the land of effortlessness and it's a beautiful destination.

We all intuitively know that we know more than we know. We intuit that we have a deep wisdom within, but it seems a lot of time it is not very accessible. We seem to spend most of our time listening to the constant chatter in our head, about things which literally do not matter at all.
In this podcast Suryacitta will take you to a "place" where you can meet your wiser self, your intuitive voice and ask any question you wish.

Life doesn't disturb us, we disturb life. In this audio Suryacitta talks about how you make yourself unhappy and how to stop doing it.
He shows that the reason we have busy minds is because we are forever looking for THAT SAFE PLACE - in the wrong place.
He shows that though the mind is brilliantly creative, creating wonderful cures for disease, engineering feats, great music, art and so on, it also creates distress.

We believe we are in control of our life. But do you even know what your next thought is going to be? Do you know how you are going to feel in 20 minutes? If you feel bad now can you just change it to feeling good?
Realising you are not in control brings about a deep peacefulness which cannot be found any other way.

A Morning Meditation
When we wake up in the morning we can feel very rested, but we can also feel anxious about the remains of a dream, or about the day ahead. Instead of rushing into the day we can wake up mindfully and appreciate those first few minutes of waking.
You never know you could just enter the day a little calmer and more serene than you usually do.

Suryacitta, the Happy Buddha, begins this podcast with a short beautiful story about his grandmother and why we all need to cultivate what he calls, a grandmother mind. Cultivating your own grandmother mind is the art of true meditation and what acceptance is really about. He gets practical and talks us through how to be with all those difficult feelings which we all have. He ends by stating that what you feel, you heal - beautiful!
