What is Happiness?
Happiness is often described as a state of well-being characterized by emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy.

This means that it can be influenced by various factors, including our environment, relationships, and most importantly, our mindset.

His expertise allows him to offer insights that resonate deeply with both the mind and the spirit.
The Role of Meditation in Happiness
Meditation is a key component of the guide, providing a way to quiet the mind and allow for deeper self-reflection. The DVD features five specific meditations, each designed to inspire joy and promote a sense of peace. These meditations include:
Mindfulness Meditation: Focus on the present moment, acknowledging thoughts without judgment.
Loving-Kindness Meditation: Cultivate feelings of love and compassion for oneself and others.
Gratitude Meditation: Reflect on the positive aspects of life and develop an attitude of gratitude.
Visualization Meditation: Use imagery to create a mental picture of your ideal life and happiness.
Breathing Meditation: Focus on breath control as a method for grounding in the present.
Benefits of Meditation
Incorporating meditation into your daily routine can offer numerous benefits, including:
Increased self-awareness and emotional intelligence.
Reduction of stress and anxiety levels.
Improved focus and concentration.
Enhanced feelings of well-being and fulfillment.
How to Get Started
For those new to meditation or the journey toward happiness, the guide provides practical steps to begin:
Set aside a specific time each day to practice meditation.
Create a peaceful space free from distractions.
Start with short sessions, gradually increasing the duration as comfort grows.
Be patient with yourself; it's normal to have wandering thoughts.
Reflect on your experiences after each session to notice growth and changes over time.
'A Beginner's Guide to Happiness' offers a comprehensive toolset designed to guide individuals on their journey to joy through meditation.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
