Joy ~ Creating the Life Your Desire!

Joy! Did you know that joy is a
natural state? Did you know that when you feel balanced, peaceful and allow the
love that is you to flow, joy will be the feeling of the energy in your
physical body?! There is a feeling of lightness and freedom within our body. Do
you remember it? Do you remember the feel of the smile on and the warm softness
of your heart? Do you remember the feeling of laughter and the connection to
unlimited opportunities, unlimited potential? Re-member.
I
trust that you do re-member, for it truly is you! In fact you are never
separate from it. When you don't feel joy, you simply have chosen to
place your attention on other places than your joy.
If
joy seems to be 'eluding' you these days, here are some tips to assist in
helping you re-member the joy that you are and create a life you desire!
You are infinite! Your natural essence is pure and infinite! What does
all this mean? You hear and read these words, but does the understanding
still seem to escape you? Simply put ~ you are more than your mind and body!
You are infinite. Your energy/spirit/essence, whatever word you wish to choose,
runs for eternity beyond the physical body and its mental processing.
Simply knowing this allows you to expand your perceptions beyond the duality of
the physical world. You move back to the peace of your infinite essence
that allows love to express and joy to unfold. You feel the connection with all
creation, yet know the beauty of your individual expression of love's
creation.
You are not your experiences! As infinite essence ~ love ~
you are creating in each moment. All of your experiences are simply that ~
experiences. When you live life from the infinite essence / pure awareness that
you are, you are always aware that you are not your experiences. You are far
greater than that. Your perspective shifts from identifying with your
experiences in duality, the finite physical world, to pure essence creating and
enjoying the experience from the infinite in the ‘now’ moment. Judgment
releases its strong hold and you flow in the joy of experience. If you
don’t like the experience simply choose differently. You are not locked into
comparing to the past or worrying about the future. By allowing this
perspective, you stay in the moment and your mind shifts and aligns to the
perspective of your infinite self/ pure essence.
Listen to and trust the
voice of your infinite essence ~ your intuition. Trust the pure awareness that is heard beyond the
analysis offered by the mind. When you slow down and slip into the 'gap'
between the thoughts, you are able to receive more clarity about that which
brings you joy. In some fashion you will receive direction from your own pure
awareness ~ your intuition ~ that will assist in expressing your love and
experiencing your joy. It may be a thought, a feeling, a 'knowing,' something
you hear, a message from a friend. It can come to you in a song, a book or
seeing a message on a bill board. Your pure awareness is always speaking to you
and offering opportunities, confirmations, affirmations, gentle nudging,
suggestions and support for your highest good! That is why we can trust it! It
is always for our highest good. Notice how you feel when you receive the
intuitive 'knowing.’ Notice that the inspiration that is coming through feels vibrant,
alive, and expansive. While it may also bring about emotions of
excitement and a wonder of change, it feels good, joyful and more like you.
That is one key to knowing it is your intuition versus your mind or fear
talking. Intuition, the voice of your infinite essence, always celebrates self
love and self expression for the highest.
Make time for something new
in your life ~ When we walk in the
same patterns of our daily lives over and over, we make little time for our
infinite self to speak to us via our intuition. When we always take the same
route to work, have the same schedule through out the week, and the same
perspectives about life we don't allow for new things to come into our vision;
express through us; or to create a new world as we desire. Be open to doing
things a little different when the inspiration of your intuition speaks to and
through you.
Take time to see things in a
different perspective. Take time to see how you assist others in your work or
at home beyond the typical, obvious ways. Did you offer a gentle word of
understanding? Did you simply listen? Did you share your story of experience
and assist someone else in moving along faster, not having to experience the
same obstacles as you? Often we are in places where we assist others in our
journey of creation that is far beyond the 'obvious,' initial scenario, Even
being in the line at the grocery story may have a deeper meaning when you
listen to your intuition. Make room for something new in your perspectives and
your physical world as your infinite essence is expressed through your
intuition and the joy that you are. Something as simple as a smile can make all
the difference in your day and the day in the life of someone else. Let your
joy be your guide!
Take action ~ begin with the smallest step to create your life of
joy! It doesn't take a lot to start doing this. Your life won't turn upside
down, but you will create and experience more joy. Just start with something as
simple as asking "what shirt do I wear today?" The first answer is
from your intuition. The next answer is analysis from your mind. Next time you
go to a restaurant, order the very first thing that "pops out at you"
from the menu. Allow your intuition to immediately 'show' you exactly what is
for your highest good at that moment. As you do this with the fun, simple
things in life, you will begin to trust your intuition to create a joyful life.
As your mind/ego trusts your intuition more and more, you will see how
intuition will guide you in the more 'important' aspects of your life.
Expressing your passions, work, relationships, family life, all will become
more joyful, as you live and create life from the authentic you and your voice
of pure awareness, your intuition.
"What's Next?" We invite you to create some time during the week
with no agenda, like two hours on a Saturday afternoon, to simply play as your
infinite essence. Do you remember play? Begin at the closet as you get dressed
and ask, "What’s next?" Go with the first answer you get. Wear whatever
comes to you without any logic or having to justify it. Then ask again,
"what's next?" Go with it... no matter what it is. Walk down the
stairs. Get in the car. Whatever the answer is, go with it. When you reach this
next step, ask again, "What's next?"
Continue on in this way and you
will be so surprised at the beauty and wonderful experiences that are created.
You will experience a flow of life and joy that is beyond what the mind
comprehends. It is easy, effortless and awesome! My husband
