When we were young, it was so easy to connect to our joy. But as we grew older, that innate ability slipped further and further away from us. Why is that? In today’s contemplation, you will consider if there is anything in the way that holds you back from joy. Do you feel unworthy of it? Are there moments you don’t let yourself fully express it?
Joy is not a fleeting emotion. We all carry it within us! If you look deep enough, you will find an inner anchor that can bring you back to joy whenever you need. Our work lies in awakening this within us. This meditation practice will do exactly that. No matter what kind of day you’re having, let Rachel guide you through a practice that will source your inner light.
In today’s journaling practice, Rachel will offer you two prompts that will help you discover what brings you a true sense of joy. But this practice goes even deeper than that - you will also consider why joy is triggered or awakened inside of you. What brings out the best of you? Take a moment to figure it out. Tune in.
Although we may not realize it, joy is a difficult emotion for many of us to connect with. We often grow up with our nervous system on edge, working hard to keep our heads above the water. When true joy comes around, we almost can’t believe it. What is your relationship to joy? How do you relate to happiness? And most importantly, do you think you’re worthy of it?
