Your world can be dominated by good feelings, Dear One; by pleasure and joy, and contentment, and balance, and love, if only you would allow yourself to believe that to experience these things you don’t first have to pay a high price for them.

There is no posture or practice or mantra or diet or book or teacher or regimen that you must first master in order to be joyful, in order to be happy, or peaceful, or secure, or content, or compassionate, or forgiving, or to live a more conscious life.

The only requirement is that allow yourself to feel good.

And the surest way to do that, Dear One, is to focus your attention on that which makes you happy/feel good, on that which is possible, on that which is right, on that which you desire, on that which makes you smile, laugh, anticipate the best, on that which you are grateful for.

Yoga and meditation and exercise and a healthy diet, and spiritual practice are all ways that can help you to achieve balance in your mental,  physical and spiritual life. And that balance will help you to feel good, to stay healthy, to feel strong and be more confident in yourself, in your body, in your ability to handle any situation, in your capacity to trust.

But they are just a means to an end.

The answer that you are looking for today, Dear One is simple –  Make choices that make you feel good.
