JOY - a Practice

Most people think that JOY is something outside of us - to be found or acquired.  Actually, it's an energy we knew how to access as children and over the years, we forgot.


JOY is a fire from within.  An energy of HAhaHAppy that gets ignited by touch, smell, sound and memory.  And PRACTICE.   Like building our HAHA muscle. 

   

JOY is about being haHAhappy NOW.  Accepting ALL that we have in our lives - surrendering to the circumstances of what IS with grace and gratitude. 

 

Now, for some of us - our life circumstances feel overwhelming or too hard to handle.  That is where practice makes perfect.

The HAHA, HOHO, HEE HEE laughs in our Prayer of Practice today - practiced for 10 minutes a day create a haHAhabit of JOY. 

ShaHAhakti ShaHAhake - 

ShaHAhakti shaking out the stuck -moving you out of your mind and into your body.  

Gibberish - 

getting ourselves from the left side to the right side of our brain - easy peasy Japanesy.

Laughing at Myself - 
appreciating who we are in this moment.  Pointing a thumb at ourselves and laughing and kissing the essence of who we are.
