Being aware of Joy and feeling its presence in our lives is a choice. We don't need others to assist in finding joy, its something we can do here and now.
Joy can be thought of as a seed that we nurture and allow to grow within, to assist us in our daily lives. It's a great idea to do a visualization, setting the intention that you're going to meet with a symbol that represents joy for you. Sit quietly and relax. Ground yourself and centre. Hold the intention for a while that you will be guided to meet a symbol that represents joy for you. Imagine that you're walking in a beautiful spring time woodland. You feel light and happy. You want to dance and sing. As you make your way through the wood you come across a clearing, you sit down on the beautiful bright green fresh grass. There are so many wild flowers and the birds are singing all around you. As you sit there you become aware of a something or someone behind you, you turn around and you see the most beautiful............ What do you see? What is this that represents joy to you? You are free to speak with it, to examine it. Once you have been here for as long as you wish, you make your way back through the woodland to where you started and become aware of your surroundings. You are back sitting in your chair in your room.
Why don't you take time to sit for a while and ask Joy to come to work with you, to show its presence in what you do daily. Whilst you prepare to channel Reiki invite joy to assist you.
From this moment on watch yourself, keep a gentle smile on your face and look out for joy in whatever you do. Invite it into your life, invite it to heal you.
Meditate with a smile on your face sensing the feeling of joy growing within you daily, becoming a truly liberating sensation from your toes right up too your nose and to the top of your head. It's all around you.
Joy is something that you can nurture, it can change your life.
Try to express joy in as many ways as possible, nourish and nurture it in this moment, in every moment, remembering that life is a joyous experience.
If you work with joy it becomes something that you can feel all over.
Do things that make you happy, do things that make your heart sing.
