Finding Joy
I wake up and look inside for pure Joy.
Where and who are you dear feeling and activity of Joy?
Placing my hand over the heart area, I let myself feel the most prominent feelings……………….
Whatever the feeling or feelings coming to mind embrace and accept them.
My feelings come and go like waves in the ocean;
Like the ocean, a cleansing process is going on
within my feeling nature.
I allow self to acknowledge what it feels at any moment;
while I realize a power of choice innate
to focus on Spirit derived feelings always present
in my feeling nature such as the lightness of Joy.
I will stir up Joy.
What brings Joy forward when it seems to have faded?
In meditation now I open to divine inspiration and guidance
to feel the deep roots of Joy in me of God…………………In the quietness,
in meditation now…………………………………………………….
I sense the pleasantness of joy as Omni-presence;
I am given ideas and actions to move on to release
Joy from the interior, emoting through my expression, movement,
and experience, enlivening my body temple and demeanor,
showering everything I do and touch with charm and delight.
I let gratefulness fill the stillness as I pause now…………………….
Joyous feelings can be activated by tuning into the reservoir
of wholeness inside. I look and find things
to be Joyous about–in the realization of how prevalent
Joy is in my life and in the immediate place
and in the world around me.
Joy is ever-present and alive within—
I celebrate this Truth.
In the daytime and nighttime
I know the companion of precious joy is forever with and indwelling me, Amen.
