There are some bands that just always make you feel happy when they play, I think the Young Rascals is one of those bands. I've included a couple of their songs to lighten the day: Good Lovin, Groovin and It's a Beautiful Morning. Love it. Good Lovin ... I'ts a Beautiful Mornin ... Groovin ... Buy the music of the young rascals on Amazon.com ...

It's important to do things that bring us joy and qualify as play in our lives to increase our joy. Even dolphins and whales have their own way of playing. Watch as they create their own kind of fun. Will people take the stairs instead of the escalator if it's fun? Watch and see. Dolphin Societies: Discoveries and Puzzles The Fun Theory ... 66% more people than normal took the paino stairs.

Two great videos to watch on happiness and pleasure. Well worth watching the whole thing. 1.  From Matthieu Ricard, a man who began as a French microbiologist and ended up a Buddhist monk in the Himalayas. 2. Bob Thurman (Uman Thurman's dad and confidante to the Dalai Lama) talks about life, Buddha and be what is inside our skin. http://www.ted.com/talks/

Gratitude increases joy through appreciating what you have in your life. If what you put your attention on grows; or what you focus on you become, then becoming gratitude is a worthy goal. And spending time being grateful will change your life. Ejoy these videos on gratitude. Be happy. Attitudes of Gratitude: How to Give and Receive Joy Everyday of Your Life (Amazon book) Attitude of

Peace is on my mind tonight. I'm feeling a rush of energy in the direction of peace. It's powerful and makes me vibrate all over. I feel it coming through on the winds of change. When I was in college in 1968, I first heard "Last Night I had the Strangest Dream," the ultimate peace song, and I loved it so much that I made it the lullabye I sang to my children every night. So I've included a

To sit with friends and laugh or cry, hug and share our joy increases it exponentially. You are not alone, gather together and be happy. The videos today are usually thought of as romantic songs, but when you make them about your friends, they take on a new depth of meaning.  "Some kind of Wonderful," and You Put Your Arms Around Me and I'm home."  Enjoy, I know I did.

Something is happening on the planet, people are awakening to their higher self, their place in the universse, and their true purpose on the planet. You are a part of this, and joy is the measure of your spiritual success. Watch this video as it shows awakeners sharing their experiences and illuminating yours.

Today's happiness hit brings back a lot of memories. This is one of the first songs that started as a commercial, then was rewritten and rerecorded and became a #1 hit. We were ready for a better world, and this song represented it perfectly. It still makes me smile and sing along. Take a look at those clothes and hair styles ... http://sandypennyjust4fun.blogspot.com I'd like to Teach the

I found this quirky new band I've never heard before, but I could be behind the times. I've found lately that if I like something and present it here, suddenly it's a big hit. It could just be that I'm in synch with the group mind, but it could be that I'm a visionary genius who is predicting the next big thing. So, enjoy the band called Never Shout Never (Harmony) as they get happy and share the

My son, Adam, helped me choose my videos tonight. He's 24. He found some really good ones, and I said, "Why are you finding these and I didn't?" He said, "Because I know where to find happiness." Good one, Adam. So, first watch Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy, then a little hand dancing, and experience Happiness all around you. finally, learn How to Be Happy. Enjoy & In Joy!   http://

In the spring, when the winds roar and howl and whistle, we know change is in the air. I call them the winds of change. In New Mexico right now, the winds of change are having a party. I just moved to a new location - again. This time, the vision matches what I saw before my last move, and the last move was the connection to this move. Step by step, slowly we change. The videos today range from

From the Top of the World to Letting the Sunshine in, enjoy the music of joy. "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness" is one of the most famous phrases in the United States Declaration of Independence and considered by some as part of one of the most well crafted, influential sentences in the history of the English language. These three aspects are listed among the "inalienable rights" or

The fastest way to joy is just to be who you are. Let go of your fear that you won't be accepted. Lady Gaga knows it and lives it outrageously. The Beatles knew it. Billy Joel told us Don't go changin, and Sugar said Spread Your Love and Fly. Enjoy these rockin affirmations of of Being who you are. Lady Gaga is being who she is in the most outrageous ways.

We've all had times when we felt like misfits or outcasts or at least outsiders. When we stop judging ourselves and measuring ourselves by society's yardstick, our seeming failings become our greatest strengths. Review your life and see where your greatest joy has come from. Could it be that when you acted outside of what was expected of you that something magical and wonderful happened? This

The sun plays a huge role in our happiness. We bask in the sunshine and it revs up our energy. It activates our Kundalini. There's even a process of staring at the sun for intermittent short intervals to activate higher consciousness. Sunshine makes us happy, generates electricity for our homes, and lights our days, and reflects itself through our moon. Today's Happiness Hits are all about the

"I sat beneath a small waterfall on a large flat black rock, and watched the water droplets merge into a streaming rainbow surrounding and filling me with sparkling joy."  -- Sandy Penny When following your path of joy, it may lead you to far flung islands, high mountains or into the heart of the city.

In the last few years, there has been a trend toward improvisational performances in public places. The first time I saw one of these videos, it almost made me cry because I was so happy to see people enjoying themselves and being genuinely surprised. The following video is that first one.

I found this great little song about happiness by Alexis Jordan. It's light and sweet and makes me want to dance. How about you? Great for your daily workout. Come on, let's dance. Happiness (Made Famous by Alexis Jordan) Creating a routine that encourages happiness, joy, health, love, and focus can make the difference between getting bogged down in negativity and depression or laughing,

The Rubic's Cube ... Although research has been somewhat inconclusive about the effects of playing games on the brain, there is plenty of anecdotal evidence that playing different kinds of games works out different areas of the brain. It’s good to play low stress games such as those that are not timed, so you don’t put too much pressure on yourself and defeat the purpose of relaxing while

I really enjoyed this sweet little love song. One of those things you say awwwww for. Like a musical Hallmark card.   Swami Beyondananda I have met Swami Beyondananda several times and heard his humor. I love it. He’s very funny from a spiritual point of view. He gently reminds us of the ludicrous thoughts processes and behaviors we have as humans.  Hope you like him.

by Sandy Penny Here’s a big hit of joy juice. My daughter is a competitive ballroom dancer, and this movie was what first inspired her to dance when she was seven. It’s amazing how much we are impacted  by our early experiences. I would always grab my kids and get them to dance in the kitchen while we put away dishes and silverware or cooked a meal together. All three of them still love to dance,

The Notebook was one of my favorite movies of all time. The unconditional love that Noah had for his soulmate was awe inspiring. He held her in the arms of love and never wavered, no matter what. He took steps in her direction to create a space for her to return and then committed his love for their whole life.  The film was also beautifully filmed and had so much magical scenery. This I promise

When you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while because you’re amazing just the way you are. There’s not a thing that I would change because you’re amazing just the way you are. From the Universe to You … Don’t change a thing because you’re amazing just the way you are.   Well, that’s not the only song that affirms that who you are is amazing and beautiful. Here’s another one that

Rise and Shine! Time to Wake Up! This makes a great song to get up to in the morning. After nearly a decade in some of Hollywood’s top music and movie studios, Don Askew, Audio Engineer turned Mad Scientist, performed and produced this entire CD by himself in his basement.  It’s a wild six-minute ride, but well worth taking.

Are you getting your quota of laughter? If you're not, you may not be as healthy as those who practice daily laughter. Try the laughing buddha exercise: Seven ha's in and seven ha's out. The in ha is not that easy, but the attempt to do it may just bring that laughter up and out. The following video tells you the documented and tested benefits of laughter. More on laughing ...

This morning, I woke up with a song in my heart that I haven’t heard in years, an oldie but a goodie. I went right to Youtube to find it because I just had to share it with you from my heart to your heart. It’s a pretty simple concept, isn’t it? Give Yourself to Love if Love is What You’re After. I remember the first time I ever heard this song. I was at a spiritual gathering in Houston, Texas,

Go Easy on Yourself, a New Wave of Research Urges By TARA PARKER-POPE Do you treat yourself as well as you treat your friends and family or even stranger & co-workers? That simple question is the basis for a burgeoning new area of psychological research called self-compassion — how kindly people view themselves. People who find it easy to be supportive and understanding to others, it turns out,

In the mid 1990s, I discovered Jana Stanfield’s song, “I’m Not Lost, I’m Exploring.” Since I was traveling all over the world doing my spiritual work, it became my theme song. When I went to New Zealand, I shared it with my journey friends. I used it to set the tone for spiritual groups who were still questioning the validity of their spiritual path. Then I was invited to Norfolk Island, an
