Start The Day In Joy

Let's start today in joy, shall we? When we align our frequency to love and joy, even the most challenging of events develop a lightness to them. When joy underlies our experiences, we float through the world unswayed by external events, we are in our joy. This meditation will help us guide into that frequency so that we may glide through our day with ease and love!

All right.

Good morning,

Everyone.

We're doing another morning meditation.

It's going to be a fun one.

But I guess all meditation is fun if you really think about it.

We don't always see the fun in it.

There might be sounds in the background.

That's just part of life.

So we're going to embrace that.

And just with a big smile,

Notice as there's sounds in the background of this recording,

There's going to be sounds in the background of your life too,

Because you're in the background.

Where's the background start?

So wherever you are in bed,

In the kitchen,

In the hut out back,

I don't know where you are.

On the way to work,

On the way home from somewhere.

Just paste a smile on your face and be like,

Oh,

Hell yeah,

I'm awake again.

This is great.

I'm breathing.

Everything's working the best it can.

I'm safe.

And today we're going to dive into our hearts and that's where we're going to start the day.

It's a good place to start the day from.

I had a lovely idea the other day that our hearts can never actually close.

There's no such thing as closing your heart.

Our hearts are always open.

We just kind of build these walls so we don't always have access to these big wide open hearts.

So that's what we're going to tap into today,

This expansive field of love,

Always present.

So if you'd like to move and you can move,

Start moving the shoulders around open and closed,

Caving your chest in and out so you can really start expanding the rib cage and the heart space so we can kind of get any energy,

Any stuckness out.

We can move the torso around and explore this movement freely in a way that your body organically wants to explore.

The body is the guide.

Opening up,

Maybe letting out a loud sound like ahhhhhh.

And start noticing there's this medicine in our sound as we start letting ourselves make a little peep or a loud scream or sigh.

And where's that smile gone?

Bring it back.

You're like,

Oh,

So good to be in this body.

What a great home.

Really giving a little pat to the body,

Giving it a little like,

Oh,

I love you.

Tap it on the heart.

Bring our fingertips tapping around anywhere our body needs some love or attention.

Give us some taps.

You can make a fist and gently give little pats.

Feeling the head,

The back of the neck,

Just waking this body up.

Feeling the life running through you.

There's life that's running through you like a river.

And just letting that river flow.

No need to stop it.

You can't even if you try.

It's going to win.

Coming back to stillness and noticing the effects of whatever we've already done.

Whatever we've done,

Just notice it finding its way into the body and the mind.

Noticing the motion that arises upon the stillness.

And noticing almost like this big black hole in our chest,

Like this big vortex of spinning love that is circling and circling and circling that almost pulls you in on itself.

You're folding into this experience of love within yourself jumping into a pool.

And as you fall into this deep well of everything,

See if just for a moment you can lose who you thought you were into who you really are.

Big you.

Letting go of mind,

Letting go of everything other than this expansive love.

And as you travel through this tunnel,

You start seeing all these memories from the past week,

Month,

Years that were just so good.

The moment where you see your friend come over,

Where you call someone you love,

Where you are out in nature and you're just like,

Wow.

All these little moments of amazement,

Tiny little things,

Things that you wouldn't even tell anyone.

It's not even a story.

It's just a pocket of incredibleness,

Of miracle.

Where you thought of someone and then they called.

Where you got to somewhere at just the right time.

Where you had some really good food and you're traveling through this tunnel of memory.

Witnessing the joy that makes up your life.

And as we move through this tunnel,

It's like we're collecting the energy of the experiences,

The essence.

And as we exit this tunnel,

We become this beautiful white light that completely contains us.

Running all around us like a little igloo.

And that igloo is going to move us through the day today.

We're going to be walking around in this igloo that is just full of love and joy that anyone will interact with us today is going to just fall into that as well.

Fall into their hearts.

So as you get up and move through the days,

You cut your food or make your breakfast or pour your coffee and you're just like,

I love you so much.

You get to come and hang out with me too.

And you're driving in the car and someone cuts you off and you're just like,

I love you too.

You must be so busy that you need to get to your job.

Rock on man.

Falling in love.

Into ourselves in love.

And take a deep inhale and exhale to release the practice big inhale.

And without trying to hold on to anything,

Just knowing that this is always here.

Even when we can't access it.

Even when we don't quite feel it.

The sun is always there behind the clouds during the rain.

It's still there.

Enjoy the sun within yourself.

The little core of you that shines and emanates life.

Filtered through who you are as a human being,

Your unique expression of life.

Life wants to express itself.

All we need to do is surrender.

Easy to say,

Not always easy to do.

In gratitude,

In love,

The enlightened me sees and honors the enlightened,

The sun in you.

Enjoy your day.

Even if you don't enjoy it.

Enjoy that.

Namaste.
