Practice Joy. Practice Love.  
        "feeling joy is your birthright!"

 When was the last time you truly, deeply experienced feeling overwhelming joy. Can you remember?  Close your eyes and really try to remember and conjure up that feeling again now.  Take your time and really allow yourself to access joy.  Maybe it was a moment with your child, a loved one, in nature, in a yoga class doing savasana.

 Now imagine you have the power to feel that way- Every. Single. Day.  

This is exactly what a joy practice is about.  Anytime, anywhere.  Conjure up joy on demand. It is what I call my super power. It is my secret weapon.  It is also a powerful coping tool, and a meditation practice.   

Gifting myself everyday with joy practices has allowed me to find peace and joy (deep peaceful joy)  through addiction recovery, heartbreak, grief and loss, anxiety and depression.   I use these practices to find my center, ground into my truth and inner wisdom.  When I truly listen to my inner wisdom it guides me back to a spark of joy, a glimmer of hope, through inspired movement, shifts in perceptions or discovering insights, so I can go forward in the hard times. Sometimes they just inform me of the next right thing to do, whether that is a nap, a nourishing meal, voicing my truth, or doing something to feed my spirit like dancing or painting. 

Joy Practices are an act of extreme self care. Not only are they fun, but Joy practices:
  •  Create healthy escapes and strong coping mechanisms to survive in an overwhelming and fast paced world.  Replacing unhealthy patterns.
  • Give us permission to take break from being grown up, always responsible, and stressed to the max.  
  • Powerfully taps into our intuitive wisdom, and what our soul hearts need, want and desire.
  • Release long held patterns of belief in our minds that limit and keep us stuck.
  • Release and heal emotional wounds from our bodies, minds and spirits.

You deserve a break. You deserve Joy.

Experiencing joy is your birthright, it is about living in YOUR truth, and only you have the power to claim it. 
 
Let your light shine.   Make your heart happy.
