The Gift of Christmas: A Path to Happiness, featuring Kokomon Clottey & Aeeshah

Welcome to “Happiness Index”, in our last episode, our conversation was on Mindful Practices: Journey to Joy. In light of the fact that today is Christmas, our focus is on the importance of the celebration and its implications for us, personally, our family, friends and community. Christmas has nothing to do with the things that we can acquire.  Its focus is really not on the haves and the have-nots. It’s true focus is on love and our ability to tap into our love essence and recognize that our essence is love. 

This Christmas let us apply mindfulness practices to truly participate and become the spirit of the season. This show is about being happiness and truly celebrating the season by making it a season for all times.  One might ask. What is Mindful Practice?  How does mindfulness leads to happier life in an age of chaos?  We have the Holiday season to remind us.  We are closing the days of Hanukkah, celebrating Christmas today, tomorrow we move into Kwanzaa and Kwanzaa ends on the first day of the New Year, 2015.  Today is Christmas Day.  Let Christmas show us the way. Let us remember that now is the only time there really is.   

The moment we have been waiting is here. Today is the day of Christmas! Today is to make merry and to ignite happiness. Our focus and conversation is on the gift of Christmas: A Path to Happiness!

Conceptually, Christmas celebration started as a result of an event that took place two thousand years: the birth of Jesus. In essence Christmas is a gift to mankind. It is telling that on this day, the celebration ignites such happiness that one can only reason that the birth of Jesus was the gift. There is a sense of urgency and shared genuine peace and love everywhere. The strong need to share peace, love and happiness is palpable.
