How To Create Bliss Beyond Circumstance
We live in a world that tells us joy is something to chase. That happiness is hidden in achievement, validation, or the next milestone. But what if true bliss could never be found outside of us? What if it was something we simply had to remember?
Ananda, a Sanskrit word for bliss, is our February word of the month. Choosing this word reminds us that real and lasting happiness doesn’t change with circumstances. This is our reminder that bliss is the humming beneath the noise of our lives. Ananda doesn’t call us to escape from reality but immerse ourselves in it. It gives us the knowing that peace is not something external to find but something we inherently are.
The Illusion of Happiness
Bliss is not a byproduct of what is happening. It is a frequency - always present and waiting to be tuned into. Our conditioning keeps us thinking that we’ll happy when something external happens but Ananda whispers a different truth: you are not your circumstances.
Bliss or happiness can be found in the smallest parts of your life. That quiet glow of a morning sunrise before the world wakes up. The deep exhale with the ones you love. The feeling of being part of something greater than yourself.
Ananda doesn’t come and go…it just simply is.
Returning to Ananda
By calling on the power of Ananda, we can stop striving and grasping for joy. Ananda inspires us to soften and allow bliss to be available right now and right here.
Breathe with Awareness
Joy is here. In this inhale. In this pause. In the simple act of being.
Savor the Subtle
The warmth of sunlight on your skin. The scent of something familiar. The way light moves through the trees. Bliss is woven into the unnoticed.
Move with Devotion
Ananda is not in grand moments, but in the sacredness of the small. Pour presence into the ordinary… drinking tea, folding clothes, driving to work. Every act is a portal to bliss.
Trust the Flow
Even when life feels uncertain, something steady carries you. Bliss is not found in controlling the waves but in surrendering to the current.
The Frequency of Bliss
We’ve been taught that joy is a destination. A reward. Something earned.
But Ananda reminds us: joy is not something to attain. It’s not a destination. It’s not a reward.
It is something to embody.
And when we align with this frequency, we move differently. We soften into the moment. We trust what is unfolding. We recognize that no matter what changes, something within us remains untouched, unwavering, and best of all: free.
Bliss is not beyond you.
It is within you.
Always.
xx, Potentia
