Blog #40 Be Happy Now - What are you waiting for?
Most things in life involve a choice. Looking at how happy we are and how we choose to increase that happiness is also a choice and that is how we will manifest it in our life.
Since I was a kid, every morning when I get up I say out loud: Psalm 118:24
This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!!!
It helps me to bring into focus my day to express my love, joy and happiness in celebrating
life in everything I do.
Even the Dali Lama said:
“Our business is to Be happy, Be compassionate and Be kind”
When times are challenging such as being ill or a loved one is in pain and hurting or having a major challenge at work, with your mate or a family member or even the news. All these things at times seem to kick us out of our happiness zone that we have chosen to create for ourselves.
An experience I had in June 2012: I had been really busy having fun teaching, counseling, officiating weddings and writing and during that time 16 of my family members and friends and pets made their transition to spirit all in one year. But then our ten year old golden retriever Beau passed unexpectedly, and three days after that the Shingle blisters showed up from the center of my chest around to the center of my back in a five inch band. It was very hard to think when you are in so much burning pain and I had it for about two months. It totally stopped me!!! One thing that helped with the pain was apple cider vinegar as a cool polis three times a day for twenty minutes. It stopped the burn!
But the biggest fastest healing took place when I chose to meditate a few hours twice every day and keep myself grounded and give myself permission to be and stay happy no matter what. I found some amusement about being stopped and realized that the Shingles were allowing me to let go of the pain and sadness of all the loss I had that year. My family and friends kept me laughing and encouraged through the healing process. What a blessed gift!
When stuff in life happens, we need to stop and take a look at the whole picture before stepping forward and into what’s going on and then becoming it or matching it and then losing our neutrality to it. Things may shake us up for a while, but then it is time to take a moment and ground and center ourselves. Becoming neutral, aware and in no effort, we can more easily find a solution. Tuning into our inner guidance about the situation and what is our next step to take. Or is it something that is not ours to fix or to even change!? It is important to look for solutions and not just at the problem. What we focus on expands! Taking a little time in meditation will help.
Finding our way back to being neutral and happy and creating solutions is easy.
Begin in meditation; relax and breathe. Create a nice new grounding cord and connect it from your tail bone or 1st chakra –have it be a nice big hollow tree trunk going all the way down to the center of the earth. Just see the gravity turning on, then let go and ground off all the energy that is not yours in your space and see it like little pebbles going down the grounding cord and just neutralizing as it hits the center of the Earth. Breathe!
Then begin to really release all the energy of the day and week. Ground off and release any resistance, uncertainty, doubts, worries, fears and any competition with yourself or others and really release any judgments and anyone you have been healing or helping, release all their energy that may still be in your space, from family, friends, kids and work. Breathe! Feel the freedom and space you have created. Give yourself permission to be happy and joyous NOW!
