Happy For No Good Reason explores the practice and philosophy of meditation including traditional techniques of mantra (the repetition of a phrase) and witness-consciousness (watching the thoughts). You will see how to apply these teachings in every day situations, by developing a moment to moment awareness of the love, joy and peace that unfolds from the center of your being. This yoga of `natural happiness' is one of the most effective means of living a full, rich life. SWAMI SHANKARANANDA is an internationally respected author and Guru who has been teaching meditation for over thirty years. He met and studied with India's greatest yogis and saints and attained self-realisation under his Guru, Swami Muktananda.
