Take a moment to think about that, because it makes a lot of sense. No matter your age or background, where you grew up, or what you do for a living, one thing we all want in our lives is to be happy. Sure, that happiness can take many forms. Career, family, financial success, education, leadership roles. But in the end, it all comes back to happiness.
Yet as Gandhi and so many others have noticed and reflected on over the years, being happy — feeling pleasure and contentment and stability in your life — also isn’t an end goal. Happiness — and the act of being happy in one’s life — is an outcome we experience from creating and living in a state of inner harmony.
Helping people recognize the importance of inner harmony in their lives — and sharing proven tools and techniques for fostering that state — is why the Institute for Meditation and Inner Harmony was created.
In the fast-paced and chaotic world we all call home, the pursuit of inner harmony is increasingly essential for our overall well-being. The pressures and expectations of the world and those around us are constant. Nurturing an inner state of peace and contentment despite the external factors allows us to face life with equanimity.
Inner harmony is a state of being where our mind, body, and spirit are in alignment. It’s a profound connection within ourselves that provides a deep sense of serenity, contentment, peace, and happiness. It’s a holistic concept that merges our thoughts, emotions, and actions into one stable and serene sense of fulfillment.
That is true wellness!
The journey toward inner harmony enables us to navigate life’s challenges with greater resilience, clarity, and purpose. It doesn’t mean that our life is suddenly absent or devoid of difficulties. Rather, the journey strengthens us and improves our ability to face these challenges with grace and composure.
It affects us on all levels. It has the power to alleviate stress, anxiety, and negative emotions. It can help to foster a sense of peace and tranquility within, and can also help us to build emotional resilience and improve our mental well-being.
Even our physical health benefits from living more harmoniously as well. Improving our diet, getting better sleep, increasing our fitness level, and reducing stress yields numerous gains. It can strengthen our immune systems and help us to fight off a number of potential ailments ranging from cardiovascular disease and digestive disorders to premature aging, memory issues, and perhaps even illnesses like cancer, according to some studies.
The quest to develop greater inner harmony can take many forms. Improved self-awareness. Meditation. Self-care and adopting a healthier, more holistic lifestyle. Following a plant-based diet. Practicing more gratitude and acceptance for the things life deals us. Living in balance and striving for more authenticity in our identity. Spending time helping others or connecting with nature and ourselves.
These are the kinds of benefits and values we study and promote at IMIH. And the research into these practices is the kind of information we hope to continue sharing with you on a regular basis. You’ll find it in the studies we are conducting and reporting on. You’ll find it in our social media channels and within the content we post here on our site. And you’ll be able to experience it on a daily basis with our app, Innergy.
We hope you’ll join us on this journey and continue looking at all the ways you can grow and expand your inner harmony. And as you do so, we hope you’ll notice the increase in happiness and beneficial change this treasured quality can bring to all aspects of your life — and those around you!
