Day 42 Yahoo!!!!!

What a feast it has been!

As I reflect on this journey of cultivating and feeding my Joy body i see all the different ways joy can be uncovered and discovered within. I recognize that Joy is not the same as pleasure, or even happiness. It has nothing to do with the outer, the other, circumstances, or anything that can be controlled by the ego mind. I see how happiness can be a choice, by shifting my thinking, and focusing on gratitude. But Joy goes deeper it is beneath all emotions and can only be accessed by allowing all emotions to be felt by dropping down beneath the surface of the feeling into the core.

It was not surprising to me how in my invocation to feel and expand the energy of Joy within me I brought to the surface a myriad of other emotions. I had days where I was taken under by a tsunami of sadness and other feelings that hide the joy. The darkness of this night was a womb for the dawn and it became a stepping stone to Joy.

I have experienced since then the Joy that bubbles up out of the deep belly for no reason at all.

What a ride it is to trust and surrender and to feel it all, trusting that Joy is always there.

When I am Present to feel it All and All-ow ( ow is the ouch of some of the other emotions)the aliveness leads me home.

To Source, to Re-Source, and to Re-memeber that this is the Truth of my BEing . I AM Joy!

When I love myself and others it opens the gates for joy to flow, for more Joy to Grow!

The Joy seed that was planted 42 days ago as bared much fruit and I feel the bounty of this harvest. Now it is time to share it with others.

I celebrate this anniversary of 9/11 in this year 2011, the year of mastery, as a day of harvesting the seeds of humanity that have grown ,the seeds of love, joy, and peace that will continue to grow and flourish as we dream this New Earth into BEing.

With Joy as our goal we create a life in such a way that more and more Joy becomes possible!

This place is a dream.

Only a sleeper considers it real.

Then death comes like dawn.

And you will wake up laughing at what you thought was your grief.

Rumi

May you wake up laughing !!!!!

May the JOY be with You NOW!
