"Let there be more joy and laughter in your living"
About this Quote
Eileen Caddy’s public identity matters here. As a well-known spiritual figure associated with Findhorn and New Age self-work, she speaks into a culture that often treats happiness as an individual responsibility and a social performance. The line plays both sides. On the surface, it’s an invitation to loosen your grip on seriousness. Underneath, it’s a strategy: joy and laughter become tools for survival, community cohesion, even soft resistance to a world that monetizes anxiety. “In your living” is a key tell - not “in your day,” not “in your heart,” but in the lived architecture: habits, relationships, the emotional climate you cultivate around you.
The subtext is also corrective. If your life has calcified into duty, status, or spiritual striving, Caddy nudges you toward an embodied faith that doesn’t confuse heaviness with depth. It works because it refuses melodrama. No promises, no triumph narrative - just a small, actionable reorientation: make room. Then keep making it.
