Shift Into Happiness

by Dagny Grant and Beth Donnelly

If you think that happiness is the result of your experiences or possessions, you may want to re-think that!

There are many tools to help us shift our vibrational frequency to a happy state of being. The tools that each person resonates with are unique to their own preferences. These tools help us move our focus into our heart space, which is the first step to initiate a harmonic mind-heart coherence and shift into happiness. It’s important to understand that our heart-mind coherence is not always happy or positive. For example, if we are angry or in grief, our heart space feels sad, constricted and dissonant.

Acknowledgment of the situation is good but investing our focus for a long period does not benefit our mind or heart. Life has an organic heartbeat of its own. We aren’t meant to always be happy or unhappy. The balance of yin/yang is a continuing process and imperative to the vibrational flow of the universe. The most important thing to remember in our intention to master our emotional state is that we have a choice.

While we are choosing how we desire to feel, we are also able to choose which tools we want to use to achieve that state. These tools can be chosen circumstantially and viewed as a toolbox of fun, playfulness, peace, and healing.

We’ve chosen 3 of these tools for you to consider. These Internal Consciousness Tools can help you shift into happiness.

Tool #1 – I AM Statements

Statements that acknowledge your internal self-identity.

* I AM Grateful

* I AM Love

* I AM Hope

* I AM Deserving

* I AM Happy

* I AM Joy







Tool #2 – External Symbolic Tools

Powerful only in the meaning that you give them. These things may be attached to a belief that you have, and they inspire you to feel better.

* Religious symbols

* Rituals

* Lucky socks or shirt

* Burning sage

* Special rocks

* Four-leaf clover

* Fortune cookie

* Rabbit’s foot

* Daily Horoscope

* Art

Tool #3 – Energetic Tools

Energetic elixirs that can shift your being. These tools have measurable energetic vibrations. The use of these tools has been known throughout history to have a powerful effect in lifting a person’s state.

* Music

* Laughter

* Meditation

* Senses… sight, sound, smell, touch, taste

* Earthing/grounding

* Water energy

* Prayer

* Crystals

* Essential Oils

* Nature

* Animals

* Writing/journaling

Choosing your tools to shift into happiness.

Bottom line…your belief in any of the things above gives or takes away power.

It is important to note that the external influence is not creating the outcome; it is the internal belief in the special powers of the tool, whether consciousness, symbolic or energetic. This is clearly seen by the fact that one person’s tool is different than another.

Consciousness tools are very personal. Each individual holds different personal emotions and self-identities based on their own life experiences. The joy of neural plasticity is that just as we release and add new cells to our body, we can release and add new neural pathways and positive beliefs that forever change our state of mind.

An example of a symbolic tool can be one person finding no meaning or outcome in burning sage, while another might find it the most important thing they do to cleanse a space of what they perceive as negative energies.

Another symbolic tool can be an athlete’s belief that their special/lucky green sock has to be worn at every game to perform well. Their minds and ultimately their behavior and performance can be influenced by that belief. This is understood as the placebo effect. On the other hand, if you don’t have that sock during a game, that belief can literally “psych you out” and take away your power to perform well. This is understood as the nocebo effect.







We’ve all experienced energetic tools that shifted our state of being. Just the focus on our senses gives us unlimited examples of the creation of states. Seeing a rainbow, hearing our favorite song, the scent of a bakery, a comforting touch, or the taste of chocolate are all experiences that may shift our state. You can choose the energetic tool that uplifts your spirit and shifts you into happiness!

Remember, happiness is an intentional practice. Notice how you feel…

“If you want to be happy, BE.” ~Leo Tolstoy
