Hello, Beautiful Soul!

The theme of this week’s newsletter is about remembering that we are inherently worthy of JOY.

Before we go any further, I made you a playlist to bring you joy, and to help you NEVER GIVE UP.

HERE’S THE LINK- GO PUT IT ON. Like now, I’m serious, go put it on.

So- JOY.

It doesn’t need to be earned, we don’t need to ‘put enough work in’ and then feel we deserve to finally experience some, and we certainly don’t have to seek it out. We have to remember that our only responsibility as humans to experience what we desire is to intentionally align our focus towards that which we wish to connect to. So my question to you is- how are you intentionally seeking joy in your life? What leads you to joy- is it gratitude? Nature? When times get tough, when the state of the World brings you down, and you can’t seem to get out of that rut you sometimes slip into, what brings you joy? I think we get caught up right there- what ‘brings’ us joy. Nothing brings us joy. It isn’t going to walk over to us in our darkest moments and offer itself to us like some sort of ancestral offering. If we want to feel joy- we need to direct our awareness to it. We focus on it through deep gratitude and reverence of the gift of being alive. We call it into our lives by reminding ourselves that we are worthy of it in every moment of our lives- mistakes, poor choices and all.

KEY’S KEY

“Joy as a spiritual concept is defined as follows: ‘A deep, abiding sense of inner peace and contentment, or a gift from some sort of higher power as a manifestation of love and presence in one’s life.

To ‘seek’ joy is to label it as something to be obtained (fleetingly), rather than something to be embodied and called forth as a response to the concerted effort to manifest gratitude, grace, and love consistently in one’s life.

Joy is a deep reverence for what is already there, sitting unseen in your life, waiting to be brought forth with gratitude. It is in every perfect cup of tea, every sunset, every fresh breath of air, and every moment of thanks you give for being alive.

If you cannot find joy in your life, seeking more external things to feel joyful towards will not lead to a joyous life. This leads to the temporary emotion of joy. To call in long lasting joy-full-ness, you must embrace the now as having everything you need to be joyous, and choose it boldly, from the knowing that to live joyfully is an inherent human right- a right that you deserve in every moment of every day. ”

Here are the things that have been helping me on my path this week:

WHAT I’M WATCHING

This is perhaps the most concise explanation for those of us that are sensitive and can feel what others are going through, as well as those of us that seem to ‘take on’ what isn’t ours. For the healers out there, this is a beautiful perspective to understand why energy and healing work for others can be so draining, and that you aren’t a ‘broken healer’, bad at clearing energy, or a poor energetic master, you’re simply extremely sensitive, and it’s a gift!

RECENT FINDINGS UNDER THE GIZA PYRAMIDS

Some people I know think this might not be true and is AI. What do you think? Are these incredible structures found under the pyramids real? Do they indicate a far advanced civilization existed which will rewrite our entire history? Take a look at this post:

WHAT I’M LISTENING TO

This episode with Gregg Braden on the Know Thyself podcast is amazing. He speaks deeply on the beauty of humanity and the technology that threatens it. No fear mongering here, this is a beautiful dive into a very real topic that we all need to keep up on.

WHAT I’M READING

Though not specifically a ‘spiritual’ book, it is extraordinary just the same. It brings you deeply into nature with a whimsy and magic only this author can bring. If you haven’t read his pulitzer “The Overstory”, I highly recommend it as well- it’s magnificent.

In Playground, by Richard Powers, twelve-year-old Evie Beaulieu sinks to the bottom of a swimming pool in Montreal strapped to one of the world’s first aqualungs. Ina Aroita grows up on naval bases across the Pacific with art as her only home. Two polar opposites at an elite Chicago high school bond over a three-thousand-year-old board game; Rafi Young will get lost in literature, while Todd Keane’s work will lead to a startling AI breakthrough.

They meet on the history-scarred island of Makatea in French Polynesia, whose deposits of phosphorus once helped to feed the world. Now the tiny atoll has been chosen for humanity’s next adventure: a plan to send floating, autonomous cities out onto the open sea. But first, the island’s residents must vote to greenlight the project or turn the seasteaders away.

Set in the world’s largest ocean, this awe-filled book explores that last wild place we have yet to colonize in a still-unfolding oceanic game, and interweaves beautiful writing, rich characterization, profound themes of technology and the environment, and a deep exploration of our shared humanity in a way only Richard Powers can.
