The base-line of this World is Well Being and Joy. It is easy to look around and create a “reality-story” that planet Earth or humanity is going to “hell in…
“The most important thing is feeling good”
~Abraham-Hicks
In this statement lives the Revolution of Joy.
We may ask ourselves, “Who am I to feel fantastic when so many are suffering?” I want to flip it and ask, who are you not to? It is a fantastic act of service to choose feeling good, especially in the midst of circumstances and conditions that may not automatically solicit this good-feeling, joy-filled response.
If we are experiencing discomfort in our bodies, chronic pain, emotional or physical, it can in moments feel insurmountable to establish an authentic positive feeling. This is when we most need it.
I call it The Anchor to Grace – an overwhelming experience that all is well. There is an unexplainable ease in your emotional body and this permeates your physical body.
How do we cultivate thought patterns and emotional fields that allow us to habituate to Grace in tumultuous times?
We cultivate the vision of joy pulling us rather than being pushed around by habitual pain. We allow for assistance and support.
Imagine a first time surf student, on their belly out paddling hard to catch the wave and the swell rolls right under them. Not having the muscles developed to “dig in” and catch the wave, the student may feel tired and discouraged after a series of attempts.
Along comes the instructor, and as the student goes to catch the wave the instructor pushes the back end of their board into the wave at just the right moment, and off the student goes catching their first wave.
The joy and exhilaration of moving in the flow, riding the wave creates a memory of experience. The student now has a vision of what they are moving toward: the sensation of joy as they caught and rode the wave.
As a health practitioner, I love giving the extra “push into the wave”. It is my goal to foster a healing environment that anchors you to a sensation of grace while you are in my presence and receiving care.
The treatment is designed to encourage your body to relax, to feel the ease and grace always available with the energetic & vibrational components of care (acupuncture & sound vibration therapy).
I align to find your “Keys to Health” or lifestyle pivots. As we identify what serves your specific constitution, I will make 1 or 2 lifestyle suggestions that you agree to integrate between now and your follow up appointment.
As you start to feel the ease in symptoms, there comes a shift in the point of focus and the vision of well-being begins to pull you along. You’ve caught your metaphorical “wave” and the upward spiral to health builds momentum. A new base-line for grace, ease, joy and well-being is available.
There are many ways to catch the wave of positivity and leverage the vibrations of joy. I invite you in this day to look around your life and “spin it”. Sink your teeth into the knowing that everything is conspiring for your good.
May you be joyfully surprised at what unfolds…
I have been playing “newsletter hooky”. After 6 years of writing a newsletter every 6 weeks (38 Newsletters) I took the summer solstice and the summer-fall cross quarter newsletter off.
This time of year is all about JOY. Summer is the season of the Fire Element and the Heart in Chinese Medicine. The Heart exudes joy – summer is time…
From a Taoist 5 Element perspective, summer is associated with the Fire element, it is the season of Joy. The primary organ system connected to the Fire Element is the…
Joy and bliss are your birthright just as anger and grief are. We get to experience it all! As we move out of the intensity of spring’s push for growth,…
