Radical Happiness: A Guide to Awakening

Radical Happiness provides the keys to experiencing the happiness that is always present, which comes from realizing that who we think we are (who our thoughts tell us we are) is not who we really are. “Radical Happiness is a supremely intelligent guide to awakening from the delusion of the mind. Gina points with clarity and wisdom, while offering practical exercises and helpful resources so that we may realize the extraordinary delight of the Heart.” – Katie Davis, spiritual teacherRadical Happiness describes the nature of the egoic state of consciousness, how the ego interferes with happiness, how to detach from the ego, how to be in the moment, how to be with emotions in a way that heals and releases them, what awakening and enlightenment are, and how to live in this world following awakening. Exercises are included to help you apply the information and transform your experience of life—and become happier!“Just as we become engrossed in movie images and forget our surroundings, the ego becomes entranced by the movement of the mind, its thoughts, its feelings, and its desires. This becomes its world, its reality. It doesn’t notice the space, the nothingness, the emptiness between the thoughts. Following our thoughts and feelings keeps us very busy and leads to a lot of suffering. It creates the drama we call ‘my life.’ However, life doesn’t have to go in the direction of our thoughts and feelings. That is not the life intended by the Self. It intends a different story, a simpler and potentially happier and more fulfilling one. However, the Self allows us to create these dramas and learn from them until we tire of them and begin to question the cause of our suffering.”
