How to Heal Negative Energy
Dear Choose Happy Community,It’s easy to get pulled into anger, judgment, or resentment—especially in a world that often feels divided and reactive. But this teaching invites us to pause and ask a deeper question: Am I willing to heal? If we want peace in the world, we first have to allow peace to take root within ourselves. The moment we stop feeding the fire of negativity and open to peace instead, something begins to transform. Peace doesn’t just surround us—it can move through us.Here’s one of our favorite quotes from the video:“ Am I energizing any hatred, animosity, judgment, prejudices, bigotry? And then the question that I’m asking is, ‘Am I willing to heal? Am I willing to energize the solution, so that instead of fanning those flames, those embers, that fire that doesn’t go out, that fire that keeps burning, am I willing to look to the energy of the solution?’“And I’ve been sharing a series of teachings, but if peace is what I want to create, I create it first in myself. I create it in consciousness first, and then it expresses through me. So there’s a really beautiful prayer: ‘May absolute peace pervade the whole universe. May absolute peace manifest through us to bless the world. May absolute peace abide in us as we abide in it.’ “And so for each of us then, if I am feeling any of those things: ‘I open to absolute peace. I open and I allow anything other than peace to be transformed so that I can allow peace to share through me.’”We also shared this video on YouTube, but wanted you to be able to have it on your Substack video player as well, in case you prefer that.Having it on Substack makes it easy for you to see any other podcasts, videos, articles, or full meditation services that might be available in the Living Inner Truth by clicking here.If you have heard this teaching before, we invite you — as Swami so often invites us — to hear it as if you are hearing it for the first time.

You Are Loved—No Matter What Happens
Dear Choose Happy Community,When the world feels heavy—filled with conflict, injustice, or pain—it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or disconnected. This teaching offers a steady truth: even in the midst of everything, you are still being loved into existence in every moment. That love isn’t distant or external—it’s alive within you, guiding and sustaining you. When you reconnect with that, something shifts. You’re not alone in what you’re facing—you’re supported in every breath.Here’s one of our favorite quotes from the video: “ No matter what wars I have known, no matter what tragedies I have known, no matter what inequities I have known, no matter what discriminations I have known, racial, religious, or otherwise, there’s not been a single moment of my existence when I have not been loved into existence, loved into form by the source of all the love in the universe.“And so if you’re actually able to know that, what happens is you also know the love that loves you into form. That energy of pure life, pure creativity, pure potentiality, that loves you into form, knows exactly what you need, every moment, every moment. Can you feel how incredibly joyful and whole and complete that is?“So there’s nothing that the Divine is giving you from outside. The Divine is flowing in and through you, and whatever appears in form is the Divine as that. So whatever you need, it’s like this amazing call and response across the universe, this amazing song of the beautiful and perfect God.”We also shared this video on YouTube, but wanted you to be able to have it on your Substack video player as well, in case you prefer that.Having it on Substack makes it easy for you to see any other podcasts, videos, articles, or full meditation services that might be available in the Living Inner Truth by clicking here.If you have heard this teaching before, we invite you — as Swami so often invites us — to hear it as if you are hearing it for the first time.

Turn Within and Find Peace
Dear Choose Happy Community,No matter what is happening around you, peace is still available within you. This teaching reminds us that external circumstances do not have to define our inner state.When life feels uncertain or heavy, you can turn inward and rest in the deepest part of yourself—the place where the Divine is already present. Strength is not always pushing forward. Sometimes strength is learning to repose in what is steady, rich, and true within you.Here’s one of our favorite quotes from the video: “No matter what the external circumstances are that you’re aware of, no matter how you’re feeling in relation to yourself or your life, turn within and allow yourself to repose in what is deepest inside of you. ”And right now, just turn within. Allow yourself to repose in the deepest and richest part of you. And know that that is the Divine in you. That is how the Divine is greeting you.”We also shared this video on YouTube, but wanted you to be able to have it on your Substack video player as well, in case you prefer that.Having it on Substack makes it easy for you to see any other podcasts, videos, articles, or full meditation services that might be available in the Living Inner Truth by clicking here.If you have heard this teaching before, we invite you — as Swami so often invites us — to hear it as if you are hearing it for the first time.

Why You Should Never Feel Intimidated
Dear Choose Happy Community,When fear or insecurity rises, it can seem like life outside of us is bigger than the strength within us. This teaching offers a powerful reminder: the light already within you is greater than anything happening in time and space. You don’t have to earn it or create it. Your task is simply to turn inward and let it flow through the places touched by pain, shame, guilt, or lack. What heals you is already inside you.Here’s one of our favorite quotes from the video: “The light in us is always going to be greater than anything we can possibly create or express in time and space. So there’s just no intimidation that can possibly be in us because we’re so full to overflowing with the light that is already within us. “Okay, so this is the truth. The light in us already exists. We don’t have to create it. Our task is to turn within to become aware of it, to realize it, to allow it to flow through anywhere that I have identified with pain, anywhere that I have identified with lack, anywhere that I have identified with fear or with limitation, or with blame, or with guilt, or with shame or with judgment.“Anywhere that I have blocked the flow of the Divine within me, I’m turning within and I’m allowing the light to bring illumination from within.”We also shared this video on YouTube, but wanted you to be able to have it on your Substack video player as well, in case you prefer that.Having it on Substack makes it easy for you to see any other podcasts, videos, articles, or full meditation services that might be available in the Living Inner Truth by clicking here.If you have heard this teaching before, we invite you — as Swami so often invites us — to hear it as if you are hearing it for the first time.

Heal the Pain You’ve Been Avoiding
Dear Choose Happy Community,Sometimes the pain we couldn’t feel in the past waits quietly until we’re ready. This teaching reminds us that when we wall off pain, we also block the life force within us. Healing isn’t about forcing anything—it’s about gently turning toward those parts of ourselves with kindness and care. When we do, we begin to reclaim the energy we’ve been missing. Every part of you is already loved, already worthy, and already held in the light.Here’s one of our favorite quotes from the video:“ A couple of people have mentioned in early childhood the trauma was such that they just couldn’t allow themselves to feel it at the time. And also sometimes as adults, we have to keep going and we’re not able to allow ourself to feel at the time, whatever the pain is, whatever the trauma is. And then there’s a moment when light within you sort of knocks on the door of your awareness and says, it’s time. It’s time to breathe into this pain that you have been carrying. “And so here I’m putting this in words, but allow yourself to feel this. Where we wall part of ourself off, we’re also unintentionally walling off life force. We’re walling off life energy. And so there’s this core trauma, or this core pain, that also holds life force and we’re actually longing for that life force.“And so there’s this aspect of ourselves that says, ‘reach out and love that part of you that has been holding this pain. Reach out and extend kindness, extend caring, extend wholeness, to that part of you where we’ve been walling off our own life force.’ And that’s what realization is allowing all of yourself to be held in the light.“And knowing that all of me is already loved completely by the light, there is no part of me that has to earn love or deserve love. It’s already loved. It’s already of the light.”We also shared this video on YouTube, but wanted you to be able to have it on your Substack video player as well, in case you prefer that.Having it on Substack makes it easy for you to see any other podcasts, videos, articles, or full meditation services that might be available in the Living Inner Truth by clicking here.If you have heard this teaching before, we invite you — as Swami so often invites us — to hear it as if you are hearing it for the first time.

Be the Light in Everyday Moments
Dear Choose Happy Community,In the middle of everyday life—conversations, responsibilities, and passing moments—there is a deeper awareness always guiding you. This teaching reminds us that the Divine isn’t separate from our daily interactions, but moving through them. Each moment is an opportunity to respond from inner truth, with presence and care. You don’t have to search for purpose—it’s already expressing itself through you. The light you are is meant to be shared.Here’s one of our favorite quotes from the video:“ Awareness and inner truth within us is continually inviting us to respond to our kids, our parents, the people in our family, the people we encounter on the bus, or at work, on the street, whoever it is that we encounter. The Divine is always, always, allowing inner truth and an awareness that is larger than our separate individual self, to reach out through us to be of assistance, and to be of support.”We also shared this video on YouTube, but wanted you to be able to have it on your Substack video player as well, in case you prefer that.Having it on Substack makes it easy for you to see any other podcasts, videos, articles, or full meditation services that might be available in the Living Inner Truth by clicking here.If you have heard this teaching before, we invite you — as Swami so often invites us — to hear it as if you are hearing it for the first time.

From Anger to Equanimity
Dear Choose Happy Community,It’s easy to forget how powerful we truly are. This teaching reminds us that the Divine Presence within us is never absent, not even for a moment. When we release the thoughts and judgments that limit us, we reconnect with the limitless strength already at the core of our being. From that place, clarity and discernment naturally arise. Remembering our own divinity also helps us recognize the same light in others.Here’s one of our favorite quotes from the video:“ If you find, like that person who is very honest about their own patterns, if you find ‘sometimes I am triggered. Sometimes I do get entangled with reactivity’. Every time you come back to your center, every time you come back to that column of light, every time you come back to what is highest good in this moment, you’re adding pure water to the bucket of your consciousness. ”So the Buddhist says, ‘drop by drop, the water pot is filled. And he also says, little by little, the wise human acquires merit.’ And so that’s your practice. If you are feeling anger, that’s where your practice is. That’s where you are able to gradually transform that energy into the energy of compassion and into the energy of creativity. ”If you have reactivity notice and take a step back. Give yourself grace and choose. ‘I choose to come from equanimity. I choose to keep going in my practice of cultivating that divine quality that is absence of anger.”We also shared this video on YouTube, but wanted you to be able to have it on your Substack video player as well, in case you prefer that.Having it on Substack makes it easy for you to see any other podcasts, videos, articles, or full meditation services that might be available in the Self Mastery by clicking here.If you have heard this teaching before, we invite you — as Swami so often invites us — to hear it as if you are hearing it for the first time.

See the Divine in Yourself First
Dear Choose Happy Community,It’s easy to forget how powerful we truly are. This teaching reminds us that the Divine Presence within us is never absent, not even for a moment. When we release the thoughts and judgments that limit us, we reconnect with the limitless strength already at the core of our being. From that place, clarity and discernment naturally arise. Remembering our own divinity also helps us recognize the same light in others.Here’s one of our favorite quotes from the video:“ Each of us is Divine always. That means each of us is never separate from empowerment. There’s not a single moment that each of us is separate from empowerment. ”And so another way to put this is you have no idea how powerful you are because the Divine within you is limitless. And so to let yourself move beyond any thoughts, beliefs, opinions, attitudes, judgments, feelings that would have you identify with anything other than your own divinity. And when you identify with your own divinity, then you’re also free to remember everyone else’s divinity as well. And all of these teachings are a thing; the teachings from Jesus say the same thing. It’s when we remember our own divinity that we’re able to act with wisdom. We’re able to act with clarity. We’re able to act with discernment.”We also shared this video on YouTube, but wanted you to be able to have it on your Substack video player as well, in case you prefer that.Having it on Substack makes it easy for you to see any other podcasts, videos, articles, or full meditation services that might be available in the Self Mastery by clicking here.If you have heard this teaching before, we invite you — as Swami so often invites us — to hear it as if you are hearing it for the first time.
