Choose Joy Part I

What is your joy? ..... Stop doing the thing you dread and /or procrastinate over, realize your freedom to choose. Begin to love yourself and all it is that makes you a complete person. Be kind to yourself, realizing that we are all a unique creation of Gods perfect creativity. Look within yourself, get in touch with your feelings without judgement of those feelings. Think of a brook, If you removed the pebbles there would be no melody. All these feelings create our individual song, the universal song. Pretend you are looking through the innocent eyes of the child, seeing each person, place, situation and object for the first time. Feel the amazement . Can you imagine a baby's first glimpse at a flower? How special it Is ? The Joy! Begin to see, experience the feeling that floods your heart! To tap into your joy begin to feel the moment, become aware of your emotions, remember do not judge them, let them be. They are you. We learn from them , they speak to us. Teach yourself to listen, to follow your first feelings , love your feelings. They will lead you to your joy, they will put you in touch with the child within. Follow your bliss and doors will open you never expected, you will draw to your life others who are in joy. Know that you are learning through your own insight, your sincere desire to grow. Allow the people you are connected to or come in contact with that respect, that space you occupy, being aware that they are equally entitled to the choice of learning and growing as they choose, when they choose. God is in control! Let Go, Let God....Release your imaginary control. Love them for what they choose to be, unconditionally, not based on whether or not they make the choices you would make or have made. Release those imaginary weights and fears you have accepted through pre- conditioned ideas placed in your subconscious mind without your awareness or conscious approval. Do not fear living, to be is to experience all emotions, loving each one as a special part of you. A life of middle of the road expressions or non- expressions leaves behind an empty memory album of the mind. Think how events in your life have taken place, how you may have cried with someone, loved with someone, laughed to tears with someone and also felt a total dislike for someone or something. These emotions all weave together to make or create the feeling of aliveness, a tapestry of your unique presence in our world, your communion with All. You may be thinking or saying to yourself , " What about the sad times, the times like....? How am I suppose to find joy or be in joy in those times?" TRUST, I say, do you think a sparrow worries that there will be food through the winter or that a bear fears he won't hear nature's alarm when it's time for his hibernation to end and not be awakened, or finally that a newborn comes into this world wondering if there will be milk when he's hungers? TRUST, we are all God's perfection, we are one with nature. We all may choose to fly freely with the winds, but we have accepted the fear of lack, the fear of loss, and fear itself. In return we have become heavy weighted down by our illusions of separation from our creator, our source of abundance, love and peace. There is never a separation, only self imposed blocks. WE block our reception of joy, of success and most importantly our ability to receive and give love. Be love. Love life! It is one of the most exciting journey's you will ever choose. Seek to stay within your joy. It will bring you into conscious awareness, into being. That being is a child, ageless and timeless. Namaste'

Introduction to The Joy of Being

What is my joy? You probably don't ponder that question very often, maybe you never have. The dictionary describes joy as a very glad feeling; happiness; delight and anything causing this. OK and what of the word being? Let's go ahead and re - remember what the meaning of being is; again the dictionary meaning is, existence, life, fundamental nature and each that lives or exist. For me just existing walking through each day as a zombie not tuned inward, scarcely noticing anything around you is impossible, but I look into eyes everyday that have misplaced their feelings somewhere and or allowing themselves to do just that " exist ." Back several years ago in 1989 when I was experiencing so much change in my life I turned inward searching for answers to what was going on, how I could best gather the mental and physical strength to bare it and how could I go back to my usual happy state of mind and release this sadness that had shadowed every moment I was awake. I had long learned the practice of meditation and had trained with my own teacher, sat in on group meditations and had included it in my daily routine for many years. I had concluded that answers to most dilemmas didn't come from anywhere but the source, God. Still, during trying times it's too easy to compare your situation to other people's or just go to that place of nothingness where you don't have to feel the pain, confusion and well, anything at all bad or good. During one of my meditations at this time of my life this message came through so sweetly and with such clarity that I wish to add this as an entry to the blog in hopes that it will inspire whomever it touches in some way that will lighten their heart and give them added peace.
