The answer is NONE. External factors have nothing to do with how you feel. Two people can be in the exact same situation and feel completely different. Bliss, which is defined as supreme happiness, is the natural feeling state of “no mind”. The mind which I lovingly call The Drunk Monkey uses negative feelings to mobilize the body and move it away from potentially dangerous situations.
When you are feeling bliss it is because you are present to the notion that all is well in your life, nothing needs to change, nothing needs to improve and life is good. This start is a discipline created by an awareness of the Drunk Monkey followed by a transending of the Drunk Monkey. Transending the Drunk Monkey means you see it for what it is and no longer give it any value or meaning in your life. Try this free 20 minute meditation I created called All is Well and tell me how you feel afterwards.
