Open Your Mind to Contentment

Indulging in moods is a great cause of unhappiness that hurts us and others, too. Remember that you are the soul with the  power to resist and overcome any mood. With soul power, open your mind to contentment.  It is available to you in this moment.  Call it forth and claim it.
~Yogacharya Ellen Grace O'Brian Living for the Sake of the Soul

When we leave on the TV or listen to the news too much, it is easy to fall into a sour mood. Just as we wouldn't expose ourselves to toxic chemicals, why overexpose ourselves to what may be toxic around us? Yogacharya O'Brian also says "With contentment practice, one plants seeds of happiness and peace in the present moment. These seeds contribute to the healing of the past and the flowering of peace in our future." Contentment comes from focusing on the divine, on grace and on bright possibilities.  When we mentally affirm positive outcomes and work to support them, wonders occur.
