Greetings and welcome to today's meditation from the You Are Remarkable series.
This joy is mine.
Joy is not a reward for doing everything right.
Joy is your birthright.
It lives within you.
Even when life is hard.
Even when others don't understand it.
Joy is your birthright.
This meditation is a homecoming to your joy.
Let's begin with a breath.
Inhale,
Delight.
Exhale,
Commission.
Let your body soften and sway slightly if that feels good.
Let movement find you,
Even if just internally.
Now bring to mind a moment,
Past or imagined,
When you felt joy.
Uncontainable joy.
Remarkable joy.
Notice what it feels like.
Warmth.
Lightness.
Sparkle.
Electric.
Let that energy expand within you right now.
Say softly to yourself,
This joy is mine.
I don't need permission to feel good.
I am worthy of delight.
How does that resonate within you?
Say it again.
Own it.
Need it.
Stand in it.
This joy is mine.
I don't need permission to feel good.
I am worthy of delight.
Let your inner child come forward.
What would bring him or her or them joy right now?
Give it to them.
Even if just through imagination.
Do they want to dance?
Spin around like a top?
Eat ice cream?
Jump on a trampoline?
Pretend to be Superman or Wonder Woman?
What would bring them joy right now?
Provide it.
Smile,
Even slightly.
This moment right here belongs to you.
This is your moment.
As we begin to close,
Anchor this joy in your breath.
Invite it to go deeper.
To expand more.
To be integrated into your system.
You don't owe your joy any explanation.
You don't need to dim your delight to make others comfortable.
You are a vessel of light.
A living reminder that pleasure and power can coexist.
How did that land for you?
You are a vessel of light.
A living reminder that pleasure and power can coexist.
Why?
Because you are remarkable.
And your joy is holy.
As you go throughout your day,
Take this truth with you.
Joy is mine.
It belongs to you.
It is your birthright.
And when you're ready,
You can wiggle your fingers and wiggle your toes.
Thank you so much.
Bye-bye for now.
