The one emotion that registers the same wave pattern wherever we are in the world and whatever our culture,
Gender or religion is joy.
Joy is a spontaneous activity that can't be planned,
Which gives us the word enjoyment,
Meaning to be in joy.
Unlike happiness,
Joy is an energetic response to an extraordinary feeling connection,
Whether to other people,
Animals or the beauty of nature.
This meditation takes us into joy so we can make meaningful and deep connections.
I hope you enjoy the meditation.
So if you're ready,
Please to close your eyes.
Take a short breath in,
Long out breath,
Down through your body into the ground.
Just repeat that.
And on the out breath,
Take all those thoughts in your mind,
All those things I've been speaking about,
Just breathe them down into the earth for now.
Settle into your body.
Settle into your body.
Now letting your breathing be easy,
Take your awareness to your heart chakra.
Let us create a beautiful chalice,
A cup there.
And we're going to fill it with joy.
And we create that joy in order to connect,
To connect to ourselves,
Connect to others.
And nothing can stop us having that connection.
We don't need any internet to do that.
We just need the feeling.
We just need to know that we can connect through this energy to every human being and every life form on this earth.
So please take yourself to a time of joy in your life.
Might have been as I say,
A beautiful scenery,
Time with loved ones,
A time with pets.
And look around you.
What are the sights that you see in this place of joy?
And let those visions start to bring the joy into this chalice in your heart.
Use your breath to breathe that joy in from that memory.
Remember the sounds.
Let the sounds enhance that feeling of joy.
The feelings,
Whether it's a hug or it's the sun or the wind on your body,
The feelings.
What does your body feel in this state of joy?
And even the aromas reminding you that this is so potent,
Letting that joy fill your chalice,
Which is your heart.
And let that joy spread out now into your physical body,
Reminding every one of your cells,
Every piece of DNA that joy is the connecting energy.
Your body is one unit.
It's in living being that is working in harmony.
Let that joy spread out into your aura,
Tapping into all the different levels,
The subtle bodies,
Reminding of that unity and that anything in our aura or in our body that doesn't belong to this unity,
Let it disperse now.
Let only be joy and unity now.
And now let that energy,
That joy spread out beyond your bodies,
Let it move out towards your loved ones.
Let them feel that energy.
Let it waken in them,
Their feelings of joy,
Of connection,
Of unity.
Nothing can separate us.
Let it move to your pets,
To animals,
Animals that live on the earth with us.
Let it move to the spirit world.
Let the spirit world resonate with our joy.
With the plant kingdom,
The mineral kingdom,
Every living form,
We are connected.
And anything that tries to disconnect us cannot break down this energy of joy,
This energy of oneness,
Connection.
And imagine yourself in some part of the world that you resonate with,
Standing there,
Letting that joy flow from you without effort and letting it reach those who feel alone,
Lonely.
Feel that they are disconnected.
Let your joy allow them to wake up to their own soul's path,
Their own soul's joy.
And know that we surround the world today,
This beautiful planet earth and her energy of joy.
And that today we create a space for our future.
A place where everyone can feel the freedom to express this joy,
To feel it.
Create new forms,
New ways of being,
New ways of connection.
And knowing that to be true,
Slowly bring the energy back into your own body.
And that to be true,
Slowly bring the energy back into your aura,
Feeling it enriched by the experience,
Back into your physical body,
Enriching,
Knowing,
Knowing you are an expansive being,
Feeling those deep connections you've just made that can never be broken.
And then finally resting more fully in your body,
Slowly to open your eyes.
Just look around you,
May look a little different.
Just know that wherever you go in the world,
When you set up that joy within your heart chakra,
Others will resonate with you and connect with you on this very unique spiritual pathway.
That is our future.
