New Moon Invitation to Joy
Today, we are invited to open to the new, to the possible. We are invited to open to our hearts to the energies of joy.
Joy is a frequency. It is part of our natural state of being as an infinite energetic being.
Joy is not something most of us were taught to focus upon. It is not something we were taught was available to us without struggle or without earning it.
We are beginning to remember that joy is not only natural; it is our birthright. And the purpose of our lives is to experience joy.
Joy is as essential to our wellbeing and wholeness as the food and water that we consume. It is fundamental to our balance and equilibrium in life.
And Joy is available now, in this very moment - no matter what is going on in our lives. Joy is not something that we must wait for or that will eventually someday, maybe show up.
True joy begins within us. It is a product of alignment with our soul’s purpose and path. It is integral to who we are beyond a cellular level. And it exists beyond the illusions and what we perceive to be our reality.
Because of what we have learned, it can be difficult to even know where to begin when asked what gives us joy. It can become such a daunting question that we develop resistance to the idea of joy. Settling for “things are good enough” or “things could be worse” is part of the old energy and the old programming that we learned well.
With this new moon energy also comes the invitation to release this programmed belief and to allow the energies of joy to flow through us wildly and freely. This invitation, if we embrace it even fractionally, has the power to transform our lives and our experiences. If it feels like too much or to unknown to allow these energies to flow wildly and freely, perhaps try just what feels ever so slightly better as you go through your day. As you choose this with each moment of your day, do you notice it beginning to grow with its own momentum like a snowball rolling down a slope of fresh powder?
What do you notice within yourself? Are you comfortable, uncomfortable? Are you in resistance? Are you opening up to receive more?
Choosing what feels ever so slightly better is a powerful practice that leads us to naturally recognizing our joy in each moment. It allows us to feel more nourished and resourced. It allows us to feel inspired and passionate. It allows us to appreciate the journey - whether it is mundane, challenging, or amazing. It also allows us to remain open and vulnerable so that we are able to let go of limitations on our perceptions and the realities we create. And with even a little bit of practice, it begins to open up the gates to more wonderful experiences being magnetized into our lives.
When you focus on areas of your life that you enjoy, these areas will expand and multiply. Your focus is your superpower as we have discussed. And as you experience joy, this energy radiates out from you and influences all of those your energy touches, inviting them into their own joy. What a wonderful way to be of service! :)
May you find joy today, amidst these wild waves of energy. May the practice of joy invite you further into a new level of equilibrium and balance with the energies of the Equinox. And may you reclaim your birthright.
In love and in joy, so it is!
