Today we speak to you on joy.  Joy is at the core of your being, your center.  It radiates outward from there and into the world.  Joy is a vibration.  You feel it as a feeling, but in the truest sense it is a vibration.

Often people associate joy with things, situations, circumstances and what is going on around them.  Joy stands independent of these things.  Your joy is not connected to or dependent on any of these outer things.

Joy is your natural state.  When you first arrive here, as a baby you are filled with joy, wonder, curiosity and enthusiastic desire for discovery. This is your truest nature in this life.  You can be joyful just by deciding to be .  You do not have to wait for something to happen to experience joy, just decide.   We will offer a brief practice to connect with the joy that is hiding deep within you.

Close your eyes and take some deep breaths.   Breathing from your abdomen allow the breaths to fill you and push out your belly.  Allow yourself to pay attention to the feeling of inhaling and exhaling.  Pay attention to the breath.   Now focus your mind inwards, into your center.  See in there a bright yellow ball glowing. Can you see it?  Notice how round and bright it is, glowing bright yellow like a sun inside your.  See how it radiates light outwards from its center.  Notice that it makes you feel lighter to “see” this bright yellow glowing ball inside of you.

Now focusing your attention on the ball expand it so that it becomes larger and larger. Allow it to grow so that it increases in size. Continue to increase it in size until it fills you up inside completely. Now put your consciousness inside of the yellow ball and allow yourself to feel the radiating light and energy from the ball.  Put your consciousness inside your center.  As you do allow a smile to come to your face and allow yourself to surrender to the vibration of the glowing yellow ball.  Feel the warmth and allow it expand from within.  Allow it to fill you up with a happy feeling.  Allow the happiness to expand and grow larger radiating outward.  As you dive into this energy and glow, you will not be able to prevent a smile from appearing on your face and a feeling of warm happiness and joy growing inside of you.  If done properly and practiced, you will experience a feeling of  joy so joyous you will feel about to burst.   This always works, as long as you successfully keep your attention on the glowing yellow light within and don’t go off wandering with your thoughts.  All feelings you desire to feel are within the body and your core.  The mind only contains thoughts and lies. Learn to not be led around by the mind and to take refuge in the wonderful vibrations always present in your body.  You can always bring yourself out of your mind and back into your body by pressing your thumb and forefinger together and feeling the pressure.
