How to Be Happy All the Time by Paramhansa Yogananda

What Past Participants Have Said:

“Since coming home, I’ve been doing great! I’m meditating every day in the morning for around 20 minutes, I’ve been exercising 5 days a week and keeping up my positive energy. I just can’t believe all the baggage that I left behind at the retreat! It’s just incredible how I relate to and handle situations now that before would have me back in my slippers and isolating myself in the house. My kids are loving “happy mom” and my husband is saying, “Happy wife, happy life”! He’s on cloud 9 with me! 
“The only thing I’m having difficulties with is everyone’s compliments about how I’ve changed and I’ve got my smile and energy back. And how proud of me they are. Things could be worse right?!! Lol! —C.O., Auburn, CA

“This program helped give me tools to cultivate more happiness in my life. A lot of thought was put into the exercises we did. I loved being in a place that so nurtures spirituality, and being around loving, like-minded people. Ananda is a safe haven for me and feels like home. I enjoyed being able to express myself in the group with ease.” —M.M., Sparks, NV

“I feel more confident with meditation practice.” —Jill

“Being at Ananda was a reminder of what happiness feels like.” Ravit B., San Francisco

“I learned a lot about my body, soul, thoughts, and energy through the classes, private consultations, and talks with other people in our group.” —F.F., San Francisco, CA

“After many years on the spiritual path, I was mired in the many faces of inertia, experienced variously as skepticism, fatigue, boredom, and/or disillusionment. My Light was dimming. Through your enlightened guidance, wise spiritual modelling and heart-centred sharing, I am transformed.”   — Kristina, B.C.
