Joy is within you but it requires mindfulness and presence to find it.   Allowing, finding, and creating joy is a gift to yourself and others.     “The ultimate source of a meaningful life is within ourselves.  If you live in this way, until your last breath comes you will be a happy person.  That’s the goal of human life-- to live with joy and purpose.” - His Holiness the Dalai Lama, The Book of Joy. With mindfulness practice, you can learn to more fully allow and accept moments of joy. Notice what makes you happy? What do you love?  What are you grateful for? What moments of true joy have you had in your life?   How did it feel in your body?  What led to joy?  What were the magic ingredients? We invite you to join us: Experience many moments of joy during a week of retreating in August.  The work you do at a Nourish & Transform Retreat will help you live a more present and joyful life.  There are also opportunities to join in March or April 2022. https://www.jessiemahoneymd.com/yoga-retreats 1:1 coaching also helps you create a life that has room for more joy https://www.jessiemahoneymd.com/ EnJOY a yoga class with Jessie on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7LfxLU3jmBdiScY-_24OBg or join a livestream class https://www.jessiemahoneymd.com/yoga   Grow a mindful practice with Dr. Liang https://awakenbreath.org/ Join other mindful joy seekers in the Mindful Healthcare Collective Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1443705385809109 Find out more about the Mindful Healers Podcast: https://www.jessiemahoneymd.com/mindful-healers-podcast *Nothing in this episode should be considered medical advice
