Tool 21: Happiness
Protection Tools
Research shows that feeling happy can not only quickly de-stress you but it also makes you healthier and more able to cope with change. It actually creates a physical change within your body — just as eating a piece of scrumptious chocolate feeds your endorphin system.

Crazy Lace Agate
A bringer of laughter, Crazy Lace Agate promotes inner stability, outward composure and maturity. It absorbs emotional pain and protects against further hurt. The protective qualities encourage security and self-confidence. A stone of focus, Crazy Lace Agate assists with difficult decisions, promoting mental agility, liveliness and flexible thinking. This crystal brings shy children — or adults — out of their shell and facilitates communication. It overcomes fears of spiders or crawling insects. Crazy Lace Agate protects against sudden fears or negative vibes and is a useful amulet when travelling, especially effective against traffic accidents.
If you feel happy within yourself, you have a natural equilibrium and the outside world has little effect on you. No matter how abysmal that outside world may be, you can find inner peace by attuning to your inner joy (see below).

Grape Chalcedony
Grape Chalcedony encourages community and working together. Its tranquil gentleness dismantles defences and opens hearts. Drawing together like-minded people for mutual support, it helps to achieve aims such as creating a peaceful neighbourhood. The stone assists in avoiding self-sabotaging behaviour or becoming emotionally involved in relationships that cause distress. Calming and protective, it reminds you that, even when you appear to be totally alone, help is available. Grape Chalcedony cleanses perception, identifies what is important, and helps you sit in stillness and simply be. It activates the karma of grace that says you only have to do enough. A wonderful emotional support, it soothes the inner terrorist that sneakily whispers fear into the heart. A stone of inspiration that encourages trust, Grape Chalcedony facilitates finding karmic strengths. It detoxifies the body by encouraging the flow of the lymphatic system.

The Inner Smile
The inner smile is an ancient Taoist practice that has been imported into other traditions. It only takes a few moments of your time and has the advantage of being able to be done anywhere without anyone else being aware of it.
TRY THIS
✵ Smile widely and remember a time that made you smile or laugh out loud. Remember the time when you were happiest of all. Feel how joy floods through your body and your heart lifts. Feel how good that is.
✵ Now take that happiness slowly down through your body, starting at the top of your head and working your way down. It can help to picture one of those smiley faces people use at the end of e-mails.
✵ With a little practice, you can send an instant smile to any part of your body that feels unhappy or dis-eased and rapidly bring joyful ease.
Crystal Tip for Happiness
Hold a Pink Crackle Quartz, Blue Euclase, Eudialyte, Rose Quartz or Tugtupite for instant joy.
