| Radiantly Alive March 2009 Newsletter “Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.” -Mother Teresa “I am a kind of paranoiac in reverse. I suspect people of plotting to make me happy.” -J. D. Salinger Danger – Happiness is contagious! Just like yawns pass from person to person, so does happiness. People we are connected with, and even ones we’re not so connected with, influence us. Here are a few highlights, and a couple references to research it further if you wish. The gist is that we become the people we spend time with. Yet here’s the yummy twist - new research reveals that happiness is more contagious than depression. I’ve now seen recent articles in The Washington Post and on Reuters - and the most thorough one in The New Scientist Magazine (Issue 2689). Researchers differ in their ideas about how happiness spreads, though they seem largely certain now that it does. The stronger the relationship, and the more frequently we see people, the stronger their influence, yet even people we don’t know can influence our happiness levels. One particularly strong theory is that the phenomenon is connected to our inherent tendency to mimic others’ facial expressions and body language. The research of Paul Ekman shows that facial expressions both reveal and affect emotions, and now their effect on social networks multiplies the importance of what we’re doing with our bodies and faces. Below are 5 tips for how to take best advantage of this new (and familiar) information about how the emotions of the people around us affect us. And as we grock these lessons, let’s upgrade it – let us be the ones who are increasing the happiness of those around us. Smile on!

The greatest thing you can ever offer anyone is the person you've become.
If you want the world to give you value and wealth, then you must
become a valuable person. Your most valuable asset is your own personal
development. Make yourself competent, attractive, committed,
disciplined, skilled. Become the person you need to be in order to have the life you want. Invest in your future by investing in yourself." -- Ralph Marston.
We've been filming our latest endeavors - teacher trainings, workshops and more - for an exciting new project that's still in the works (more on this soon) and have amassed quite a wealth of video clips. Our database includes interviews with incredible teachers and experts in yoga and nutrition, videos on yoga teaching and adjustments, great information on raw food preparation and nutrition, and more.
This year's BaliSpirit Festival, an annual celebration of yoga, music and dance held in Ubud, Bali on April 28-May 3, 2009, includes Daniel Aaron as one of its featured guest teachers. Daniel will be leading a Vibrant Living Yoga class on Friday May 1st - see the festival website for updated schedule and details. Tickets are still available, and can be purchased at several locations in Ubud and Seminyak. More information is posted on their site.
