Daily Post, 26th December 2011 - Positive Psychology provides scientific evidence that positive emotions can be cultivated. 

Having a more optimistic outlook makes you feel happier and live longer. Psychologists are now looking at why this is the case. A 10 week course at Cardiff University called ‘Positive psychology and the meaning of life’ is exploring the mind-body link in detail, asking such questions as, can happiness really be taught? Do we as humans have the capacity to make ourselves happy? The answer is yes, most people have the ability to make themselves considerably more happy.

Geraldine, Mindflow states: “It is wonderful that Positive Psychology is now beginning to reveal what the Eastern contemplative traditions have known for centuries that positive emotions can be cultivated and developed. Through training the mind in mindfulness and compassion based practices.”
