Through our meditation practice, we can consciously cultivate the natural well-being and joy that we were born with. Using mindful attention, we can directly experience the aliveness of genuine well-being in the body, mind, and heart as we connect with the goodness inside and around us. To access this natural joy, we don’t merely know we’re feeling good; we actually feel what it’s like to feel good. Without efforting to make something happen, we can invite well-being and joy by simply inclining our mind in that direction as we connect with what brings us delight and appreciation, letting ourselves mindfully relax into it when it is here. Our own well-being and joy can be a gift to others as it awakens those qualities in those around us.
