The 4 Keys to Happiness

July 9, 2018 by Julie Lusk

The one thing we all have in common is to find happiness. Here are the 4 keys to unlock happiness. They are from Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra 1.33.

The 4 Keys to Happiness

~ Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras 1.33 ~

The mind becomes peaceful and free when the qualities of the heart are cultivated.

These qualities are:

Friendship toward the joyful,

Compassion toward the suffering,

Happiness toward the pure, and

Undisturbed toward the impure.

Click for a guided yoga nidra meditation
focusing on the
4 Keys to Happiness.

Sri Swami Satchidananda helps us better understand what Patanjali is conveying in his booklet, Integral Yoga: The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali (Pocket Edition). On pages 16-19, he writes:

“Whether you are interested in reaching samadhi or plan to ignore Yoga entirely, I would advise you to remember at least this one Sutra. It will be very helpful to you in keeping a peaceful mind in your daily life. In my own experience, this Sutra became my guiding light to keep my mind serene always.

Patanjali gives us four keys: friendliness, compassion, delight, and disregard. There are only four kinds of locks in the world. Keep these four keys always with you and when you come across any one of these four locks you will have the proper key to open it.

When you see a happy person, use the “friendliness” key. Why should Patanjali say this? Because even four thousand years ago there must have been people who were not happy at seeing others happy. It is still the same way. Suppose somebody drives up in a big car, parks in front of his huge palatial home and gets out. Some other people are standing on the pavement in the hot sun getting tired. How many of those people will be happy? Not many. They will be saying, “See that big car? He is sucking the blood of the laborers.” We come across people like that. They are always jealous. When a person gets name, fame. or a high position, they try to criticize him. “Oh, don’t you know, his mother is so-and-so; she must have pulled some strings somewhere.” They will never admit that he might have gone up by his own merit. By that jealousy, you won’t disturb him, but you will disturb your own serenity. He simply got out of the car and walked into the house, but you are burning up inside. Instead, think, “Oh, such a fortunate man. If everybody were like that how happy the world would be. May God bless everybody to have such comfort. I will also get that one day.”

Make them your friend. That response is missed in many cases, not only between individuals but even among nations. When some nation is prospering, the neighboring country is jealous of it and wants to ruin its economy. So we should always have the key of friendliness when we see happy people.

And what of the next lock, the unhappy people? “Well, Swami said everybody has his or her own karma. This person must have done some wretched thing in her last birth. Let her suffer now.” That should not be our attitude. Maybe someone is suffering from previous bad karma, but we should have compassion. If you can lend a helping hand, do it. If you can share half of your loaf, share it. Be merciful always. By doing that, you will retain the peace and poise of your mind. Remember our goal is to keep serenity of our minds. Whether our mercy is going to help that person or not, by our own feeling of mercy, at least we are helped.

Then comes the third kind, the virtuous people. When you see a virtuous person, feel delighted. “Oh, how great she is. She must be my hero. I should imitate her great qualities.” Don’t envy the person; don’t try to pull them or her down. Appreciate virtuous qualities in that person and try to cultivate them in your own life. Look for noble qualities in everyone.

Lastly, the wicked. We come across wicked people sometimes. We can’t deny that. So what should be our attitude? Indifference. “Well, some people are like that. Probably I was like that yesterday. Am I not a better person now? He will probably be alright tomorrow.” Don’t try to advise him because wicked people seldom take advice. If you try to advise them you will lose your peace.”

Or that calm is retained by the controlled exhalation or retention of the breath. Yoga Sutra 1.34

Or engage the focus on an inspiring object. Yoga Sutra 1.35

Or by concentrating on the supreme ever-blissful Light within. Yoga Sutra 1.36

Or receive grace from a great soul. Yoga Sutra 1.37

Or reflect on a peaceful feeling from an experience, dream, or deep sleep. Yoga Sutra 1.38

Or dedicate yourself to anything that elevates and embraces your heart. Yoga Sutra 1.39

Private Lessons, Consults, Coaching

Consider satisfying your dreams with personal lessons

Yoga – Meditation – Guided Imagery – Music – Sound Baths – Mentoring

♥ Personal Yoga Lessons

Individualize your yoga postures and breathing, yoga nidra, or meditation practice. You can have private online lessons to work on areas of special interest for you and to fit your schedule. It’s up to you.

Hatha yoga includes postures and breathing techniques to help improve your strength, balance, and coordination. We can focus on areas like bone and muscle strength, joint flexibility, and heart health.

Yoga Nidra is yogic sleep and can help tame your emotions, calm your mind, and help with physical concerns. Clients often say they sleep better, their pain lessens, and inner peace is felt.

Lessons are given “live” on Zoom. You’ll get a downloadable video for keeps. Click to make contact.

♥ Meditation and Guided Imagery

Meditation lessons can cover a wide range of topics for anyone who wants to get started or deepen their meditation practice. It’s helpful to develop a meditation method that suits your temperament, whether it’s mindfulness, walking meditation, mantra repetition, or another.

Guided Imagery, also called creative visualization, is intentional daydreaming that magnifies the positive aspects of the mind-body connection. It can elicit therapeutic relaxation; awaken and activate the natural ability for self-healing to occur; help with changing behaviors and habits; and stimulate intuition and uncover your inner truth and life direction. Everyone can do it.

Lessons are given “live” on Zoom. You’ll get a downloadable video for keeps. Click to make contact.

♥ Music Lessons

Learn to play the Native American flute! Lessons will get you off on a good note. We will focus on whatever you like. We can cover the basics, embellishments, and how to improvise or learn songs. We will follow your interests from there by delving deeper into flute playing.

We can also get you started playing the Reverie harp, tuning forks, tongue drums, and singing bowls.

Music lessons are offered “live” on Zoom. You’ll get a downloadable video for keeps. Click to make contact.

♥ Sound Bath Concerts

Do you yearn for the benefits of meditation but have trouble meditating? A sound bath may be perfect for you. Carefully selected instruments and frequencies are selected to help harmonize your wellbeing. It is delightfully relaxing and can tap into your natural healing abilities.

You’ll experience a play of enchanting sounds from flutes, Himalayan singing bowls, harp, chimes, bells, drums, voice, and harmonium. During a sound bath you’ll experience a musical blend of harmonizing tones to tune you up. You’ll feel the pleasure of letting your heart sing & dance.

Sound baths are offered individually and for groups. They take place in-person and on Zoom (with a downloadable video to have for keeps). Click to make contact.

♥ Coaching / Mentoring

Everyone has something they hope to ‘do someday,’ but have a hard time taking the necessary steps. Coaching will help.

Most of us are stymied by stress and would love to learn effective methods to renew our energy. Coaching will help.

For most, it is hard to make time to develop a practical plan and to put it into action. Others can keep to their plan, but only for a while, and then they slip back into old habits. Having information and support from someone else often makes all the difference.

Coaching is perfect if you are ready to:

Reduce stress by gaining mind/body mastery
Replenish your energy
Set and achieve your goals
Turn stress into something positive
Reach your full potential

Together we will design a customized plan for you that may include guidance in meditation, personalized guided imagery, visualization and relaxation, wellness strategies, and private and personal yoga lessons.

You will also benefit from Julie’s extensive base of experience in life planning, health promotion and making dreams come true.

Private lessons, email, Zoom, and phone consultations are all options. I will get in touch with you within 48-hours to set up an initial phone consultation at no cost or obligation. Click to make contact.
