Bliss: Unleashing Happiness in Your Mind, Body and Spirit

By Dr. Sydney Savion

Life is such a gift and living it blissfully, in gratitude, in growing, in learning, and in peace is euphoric. This book is just the beginning of heightening your awareness about creating your bliss. Fulfillment, happiness, and joy are yours. Your life can and will be lived as you choose. What we hope to reveal are a few ways to begin this journey. You have many beautiful layers that need your attention, gentleness, and love. We are hoping to start the process by taking you back to the foundations of living simply and blissfully. We hope to help you realize just how powerful you are—you are the master of your destiny. You hold the key to your ideal life.

In this book we attempt to shine light on areas that we believe are very important pieces to the puzzle of life and living it blissfully. We realize we did not touch on every single way one can improve their life. The reality is you have to start somewhere. We believe getting in touch with your mind, body, and spirit, taking a look at the things that surround your being and clearing space for your ideal life are all key components. As you continue your journey to discover bliss, bear in mind that the mind, body, and spirit work in harmony to achieve a state of bliss.

We simply think of bliss as a magnified emotional state of joy, fulfillment, and happiness. Just imagine living in such an amazing state. Often times the mental and emotional struggles we face are a result of an unfulfilled and unhappy life. We all have experienced a time of struggle, but it is how we choose to respond to the struggle that either yields an outcome we embrace or one that we dread. What we hope to help you understand is that when you are the master of the change you desire to see, you can actually create your bliss. You and only you have that power. This book will offer insights to orient you from the inside out. We hope you are available and open to new perspectives to live your best life and live it blissfully.

Book preview

WE WILL START with the element of you that opens your eyes to the world and life’s encounters. It is your decision maker, your intellect, your memory, your attention to detail, the key to your ideal life—the mind. The mind is such a powerhouse. It can move the mountains of life in ways you wouldn’t believe. Your mind has a profound influence toward creating your bliss and achieving your goals. But, you cannot get a bliss breakthrough without shifting your way of thinking, doing, and being. Kicking your old ways and pursuing a heightened state of awareness and peace of mind are fundamental to creating lasting bliss. Seizing on the amazing opportunity to achieve clarity of mind, forethought, and discovering your divine plan and purpose for your life is waiting.

As you open your mind and heart up to the possibilities we discuss here, you can expect an amazing experience to unfold in your daily life. You will experience a heightened awareness of your environment, connection with others, and a stronger spiritual life. Feelings of fear, chaos, and negative perceptions and thoughts will begin to fade away. You will discover and experience a growing ease in dealing with the challenges of life and the demands of people and circumstances. You will be able to better process life in terms of what am I doing to make things happen? rather than why is this happening to me?

The increase of clarity will help you discover a clear view of what you want and a view of the path to get there. You will begin to discover the essence of mindfulness and pay attention to the here and now while it unfolds. You will shift to a place of actively engaging your present experience instead of being mindlessly swept up in the experience. Clearing your mind is just the beginning of this amazing journey. But you have to be intentional.

We believe there is a divine plan and purpose for your life. And, of course, clarity will ease the way to defining clear action plans and steps to achieving your goals and dreams. Life can often be chaotic, which is why it is so important to purge and quiet the mind. Have you ever met someone you considered to be the calm in the storm? That can be you! Have you ever wondered how to get to that place? What do you say we get started? Before we break down the role of the mind, let’s define the mind. Merriam-Webster offers up the following:

1. Element or complex of elements in an individual that feels, perceives, thinks, wills, and especially reasons

2. Conscious mental events and capabilities in an organism

3. Organized conscious and unconscious adaptive mental activity of an organism

Our take on the mind is an energetic element of body that develops and changes according to one’s thoughts, actions, and lived experiences. Saying the word mind typically conjures up the word thought, in particular private thoughts that no one else knows about unless shared. The mind is so powerful it allows us to strike up a conversation with ourselves to plan and decide to do something. The mind is also sacred. Things that anchor the mind flow from what the mind can do, which is: think, memorize, and visualize.

The word think may remind us of the bronze and marble sculpture by Auguste Rodin of the Thinking Man. Again, thinking is a private mental activity between you and yourself. It allows you to make sense of what you perceive is happening or what you are creating in the world around you. It is an opportunity to give pause to silence. On the other hand, you may think out loud, affirming your desired outcomes and ideal life. Do you have your ideal life committed to memory?

The most basic meaning of the word memorize is to commit something to memory or in essence to learn by heart. Brain research has shown when you memorize billions of neurons are basically having a conversation with one another. They are firing signals together through neural paths to create lasting connections. When those same connections can re-fire straightaway, guess what? You have memorized. For example, do you have your mobile phone number memorized? Do you remember your name or your parents’ names? More than likely you do. Do you remember the make and model of your favorite car when you see it? Do you get excited when you see it? Associating images with words cannot only help improve memory, but it can conjure up emotions—good or bad. And, as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. Ah yes, the power of
