Unity Manhattan KS's video: 3 15 20 Awakening Joy Music Talk Meditation by Cindy Novelo

Founder and Owner of Cindy Novelo Music, Wellbeing & Yoga, Cindy is a nationally touring singer-songwriter, certified yoga teacher, and life coach with over ten years of experience helping others to discover their most vibrant and expansive selves. Cindy share her music, the message and the meditation with us in this video of our Sunday service on March 15th. The Buddha taught us that life includes suffering. His whole life was about trying to figure out how to overcome - or at least alleviate - that suffering - and when he did awaken, he spent the rest of his life teaching about the path out of suffering that was revealed to him. One of the things that he recommended was to cultivate wholesome states of being - joy, happiness, gratitude, love, and open-heartedness -- the states of heart and mind that allow us to live in an expanded way. Our minds are wired to look for the negative. And the good news is that we can retrain it to see the positive, 'to incline our minds' towards those wholesome states. This is what it means to awaken joy!
