This guide focuses on the idea of heart happiness, a natural state of being that can exist regardless of what is happening in our lives. The Heart of Happiness offers a multi-dimensional perspective exploring seven major issues of life-self, relationships, health and well-being, career or calling, abundance, connecting with others, love and healing. Using these simple change processes can transform any area of your life. Julienne's latest exploration led her along a fascinating path of self-discovery. Through her own personal challenges and observation of the struggles of others, she gradually came to the realization that there must be an easier, more direct way to work through life's challenges. She started exploring a channeling process of connecting to her Higher Self. One day, in the very early hours of the morning, Julienne received a spiritual download of information that was to become the basis for The Heart of Happiness. In discovering this way of connecting with her Higher Self, she was both excited and in awe of this new level of insight and awareness. This knowledge has continued to come through, to help Julienne with her own life and to share with others, as an easier way of being in this world. The Heart of Happiness provides insight into a new level of personal awareness and fulfils the author's desire to share this knowledge.

CHAPTER 1

Self

Happiness depends upon ourselves.

–Aristotle

My Human Experience

Isn't it funny how you can go through life, and when you takethe time to look back, you realize how incredibly dysfunctionalyour life has been? I always find it amazing how we get throughand survive everything while seeming comparatively normal to theoutside world.

I work with people to help them sort out their lives. Funny that, asI'm still trying to sort out my own life. Maybe they sense that my lifehasn't been such a bed of roses, and it heartens them to have someonewho understands life's challenges and has managed to move throughthem to the other side. Either way, I love what I do, and if having hada right royal screw-up of a life helps the people I work with, then that'sokay.

This started out as two books and true to form, why not writetwo at the same time? My sister and I laugh oft en. We say, we're theopposite polarities of a manic/depressive. I'm the manic, and she's thedepressive. We're both seeking the balance point in the middle, andnow that we're both in our fifties, we're getting closer. I guess half acentury is better than not at all.

I ponder on life a lot, what has happened, what is happening now,what might happen? I didn't used to get a lot of answers. I received theoccasional insights, which of course didn't change things a lot, but gaveme some clarity. I had lots of theories, probably most of them delusional,but fun to throw around for discussion. That is if you can find someonehappy to play the game. My counselling tutor told me I was opinionated,and he was right. I love having an opinion, but I'm not too attached toit, which I think is the key. That makes me feel better about it anyway.

Life is a funny kettle of fish. When you look back at all itshappenings and wonder at the busy lives we lead when we really areall preparing to die, you wonder at the seriousness of it all and whywe all aren't living it up. Well, I guess some people are, but the peoplein my world are pretty serious. I love 'Tuesdays with Morrie', by MitchAlbom, with the story about the student spending time with his dyingprofessor, saying "It's not how you die, it's how you live". So true.

As a kid, I was called selfish quite a bit as I liked to do my own thingand please myself and I still do. I love to get on with what lights me upand makes me happy. There have been a few times in my life when I'veforgotten that and then I'm not a happy camper. It seems to me we getlabelled in one of two ways early on, with neither label particularly usefulfor later life: The people pleasers and the self pleasers. We then have to findthat place in the middle where our happiness allows us to share happinessand receive it without feeling guilty. I guess I'm in the latter category andbecause of that I can now help others as I am mostly happy with my life.

I've observed the people pleasers, and while they may make otherpeople happy, their own lives can often be bathed in shades of grey. Iwish they'd dig deep and find out what makes them happy themselvesand feel okay about that. Making an art form of either extreme iswhere it becomes a problem and ideally I guess we try to be a bit ofboth and find that balance in the middle. Then, of course, there arethe narcissists, and that's another whole book waiting to be written.

It's a curious thing, when you look back over your life how youonly remember certain things. Scientists have explained all thatthrough studies showing that the emotions fire the neural pathwaysinto our minds. My memories are as insignificant as most people's.I recall as a pre-schooler, helping my mum make the beds after myolder brother and sister had gone to school, feeling the satisfactionof being with her on my own. I have another memory of sitting withthe local kids in the long grass at the end of the street, hearing myfather yelling at my mum. I thought at first he was laughing, as he hadsuch a loud voice. Then I realised he wasn't, and I walked home withtrepidation, unknowingly having this experience set up fear in how Ilater interacted with the men in my life.

I remember getting my first doll and comparing my brown-hairedone with my sister's blonde-haired one and realising that we weredifferent. Mum going out at night leaving us kids on our own to catchDad with his girlfriend. I recall seeing Dad crying, because he wasleaving us, yet still not coming back, even though we all missed himso much. There were so many paradoxes.

Welcome to the world of adults and their dramas. Seeminglynormal and insignificant at the time, the associated emotions attachedto that experience, burned those neural pathways through my mindto rear their ugly little heads when I later ventured forth into theworld of life and relationships as a teenager and adult. I went on tomarry a man just like my dad; charismatic, charming and a rogue(sorry Dad). It is only recently that I have been able to connect morefully with my emotions, as this early emotional trauma of seeing myfather leave in tears, made it very difficult for me to be around otherpeople's pain, including my own. I would go to incredible lengths toavoid ending relationships, staying well over the 'best used by' date toavoid the anxiety of seeing them hurt, disregarding my own well-beingin the process. These early painful experiences have many layers ofcoping and control mechanisms over them to avoid experiencing thisemotional pain. Being able to go into my heart space to help me feelthe emotion safely, has been a simple yet profound way of processingmy emotions. I am hopeful now that I will be able to move smoothlythrough my daily interactions with people and loved ones, safelyacknowledging and releasing emotions as they occur.

My kids have also had to deal with similar issues I had frommy childhood. That's not an easy one to witness and feel okay withyourself about. I guess that's one of life's big lessons, forgiving yourselfand others. It's easier said than done, as there are so many aspects offorgiveness and you can't shortcut their lessons for them by feelingguilty and rescuing them.

Having lived without much contact with my father, I wasdetermined to give my kids a full time dad, not realising that bringingthem up in a volatile environment, I was sending a message to mykids that I didn't deserve respect. They each went on in turn to treatme as he did and I was a great victim, allowing it for years. My life isvery different now as I have clear boundaries and a strong sense of selfworth. But it has taken me years of tough love and self-developmentto get there, and I'm still learning ways of coping with their behaviourwhilst maintaining my love for them. Working through the layers offorgiveness, towards myself and others, takes some time and awareness.However, I do know one thing for sure, it's one of the keys to emotionalfreedom, peace, and happiness. I like the Buddhist...
