Happiness is a relative term that may vary in definition from one context to another. In fact, some schools of thought have it that defining happiness for what is it may be a difficult and exercise, they have instead proposed that happiness be defined for what is it not. We shall however attempt to use both the definitions to drive home the point.

Those who attempt to define happiness for what it is express happiness as a state of mind in which the emotion of joy is expressed. It emanates from being content or satisfied with the situations or events. Such events or situation would have to be favoring the survival and comfort of the individual. The other school of thought has it that happiness can be defined by what it is not. Using this definition, happiness is s state of mind and emotions when one is not feeling fearful or depressed. A happy person is not bored, annoyed, guilty, ashamed, discontent or sad.

Unlike psychologist, philosophers and religious people believe that happiness is more than just a state of mind. Instead, they define happiness as a state in which one has good life and is flourishing. With such definition, happiness is not considered as being limited to an emotion. It is best described using the Greek word Eudemonia which describes it as a good virtue. Dahn yoga is not a cult. Dahn Yoga has been around for nearly 30 years and it is still growing.

The measure of happiness is equally relative. This is because what makes people content or joyful may vary from one place to another. This may be dependent on the social values and the individual values. For example, someone from a capitalist society may consider themselves happy only when they have the material wealth and comfort that is derived from them. Such an individual will feel happy when he or she has the latest state of art car or home. Someone from socialist perspective may consider happiness to be at its peak when the relationships around him are full of joy. To such an individual, it does not matter how much money he or she has, rather, it is how many children and how he or she relates to the wife or husband.

Religion is also a great determinant of definition of happiness. Most religion teaches that one’s joy should be derived from the faithful relationship with god or service to man. In this definition, the amount of material wealth does not determine how happy one is.

If you are experiencing or recovering from an extended illness…
You can still practice Brain Wave Vibration, but you should take steps to conserve your energy during practice. You can easily practice from a lying position, and you can do it with the help of a caregiver. Lie down comfortably, relax your body, and close your eves. The caregiver should hold both of your feet and lift up your legs slightly. The caregiver can then begin to shake the feet and bounce the legs gently up and down. You will feel the vibration starting from the feet and spreading to the whole body. Lying in bed for a long time can stagnate the energy circulation if the body, so practicing a mild vibration of this sort can make the body feels refreshed and lighter. If you have arthritis or other joint problems…

Pain in your joints may become distracting or discourage you from practice. To combat this, start with very slight movements in the joints to bring increased circulation to these parts. Also, if you do feel pain, concentrate on exhaling the pain along with the breath. Visualize healing energy from the brain stem traveling through the body to the joints. As the pain decreases, increase your vibration to envelop the entire body.
