A Summer Day Draws Me In
-
discover joyful living
Summer has a distinctive voice, separate from other seasons.
I love the lazy, hazy days
of summer: The droning of locust.
The singing, twittering of the birds.
The fully leafed trees that screen the hot, summer sun. The
buzzing of bees and dragonflies.
The fragrance of honeysuckle vines.
I decide to bring myself to the essence of this
summer day and energetically be one with it.
I settle into an Adirondack
chair under an ancient shade tree - relaxed, dozing, smiling,
dreaming.
The constant
drone of the locust is lulling me into myself.
I hear its voice, “Keep aligned; like we are. We all
buzz together in harmony.
Don’t you see, it is we.”
My focus switches to the
birds - lots of twitter, lots of different sounds. Some voices are
loud and distinctive, some are soft, some are chirpy, and some sound
almost like music. Some birds
talk occasionally, while some do more frequently.
But, all are harmonious together. All are part of the mosaic.
No one bird is trying to
dominate over the others.
I think, “Isn’t this how humans should be?”
As I travel deeper into
myself, I feel encouraged to go past the surface.
“There is more here.
Go deeper.” I feel
layers being removed; the path opening, beckoning me forward.
I strip back more layers.
For some reason I do not feel vulnerable - rather I feel
safe, secure, and one with all.
I feel so good, so
energetically wonderful. I am
one with myself, my true self, my soul, and my spirit.
I am one with God. Why do I
think my body is me? How did
I become so dependent on my mind?
“This is me,
the true me – here inside of me.”
I relax into myself, really relax.
When did I become separated from who I am; my love, my
passion, my joy? How did I
lose my way? “Fear.
Your
mind created fears that you had to be
another way, so that became
your reality.”
I want the true me.
I receive: “Follow the
Light”. I feel God’s
loving presence surround me like a safe cocoon.
“The spirit is supreme, not the mind or the body. The
spirit is your passion, your love, your joy.
Live as one with your spiritual self and you will have
joy.”
I choose to be the
highest idea of myself. I
choose to be my passion. Like the birds, the locust, and all of
nature, I choose to be aligned and one with all that is.
Where do I start?
“The first step is where you are right
now – be aligned with the Spirit within you.
Come here often and you will find joy – you will be joy.”
So it’s your turn.
The birds and locust ask you –
“Want to be in harmony?”
The
first step towards joyful living is to go within yourself, and
align with your spiritual self.
Spend time inside of you while in meditation. Make this an
ongoing practice.
Each of us are made of four parts –
spirit, emotion, mind, and body.
When you connect with your spirit, you learn what your spirit
desires of you, versus your mind, your fears, your worries, or your
emotions might have planned. Spirit
gives you authentic answers, guidance, wisdom, and inspiration.
The
second step is to retrain your mind and emotions to be
supportive and consistent with your spiritual wisdom and truth.
This enables your words and thoughts to help you create a
life that is in alignment with your spiritual self.
This is the life that you are supposed to experience - your
passion.
The
third step is to joyfully
embrace and experience what you’ve created while in spiritual
alignment – and become the physical embodiment of
Joyful Living.
