Claiming Joy

Joy is our birthright.  To be truly joyful is to be aligned with our souls, with the wisdom and divine uniqueness that each of us carries within us.  Joy arises the more we keep opening our heart and following its guidance, and the more we serve Higher Love. To do this fully, we must be willing to release struggle and allow ourselves to delight in both our blessings and in our challenges. 

Remember too, that we have no control over others journeys.  If they are on difficult journeys, we need to release judgment and replace it with compassion, knowing that any grief we feel does not preclude our right and our ability to feel joy.  Since we are all interconnected, our joy and compassion lifts the energetic field for us all.

Take several deep centering breaths and ponder what may be blocking your experience of more pure joy in your life.  Is it fears?  Old beliefs? Overwhelm?  Shoulds? Worry? Negative self-judgments?  Just let whatever stands in your way come into your awareness. 

Take another deep centering breath and tune into the energy of your heart, letting your feelings of love and compassion expand.  Stay with this sensation, feel it begin to permeate every cell in your body. 

Take one more deep centering breath and bathe all that blocks your joy with this loving compassion. Little by little, one by one, envision the blocks dissolving, see them melting away so you are left free and open to claim the joy that is rightfully yours, and know that by doing this you help us all.

Sending love and blessings,

Judith
