I Wasn’t Always So Joyful HD

I wasn’t always so joyful… Years ago, after a tumultuous break up, my Spiritual teacher at the time, shared with me after working together for over 2 years, that we can become addicted to our emotions and pointed out at that time, I was hooked on sadness and abandonment. And, he gave me a skipping practice. Yep. 5 minutes of causeless joy thru skipping. I was resistant. I thought it was silly. Stupid. What in the world did skipping and embodiment have in common?!? Well, EVERYTHING! If your brain can become addicted to sadness… Don’t you think it can become addicted to JOY and any other empowering emotions? Doing what came natural as a child without a care in the world is sometimes what the moment calls for. And, my practice was to skip for 5 minutes a day in public for 30 days. So, I did this. And, guess what? It began to work. I slowly began to move my sadness and grief of loss of relationship thru my body. Alchemizing the tears into triumph. I still feel sad and grief from time to time, but I don’t unpack there and pitch a tent anymore. It’s a drop in the body and let it flow… Moving what I’m feeling moment to moment to moment to moment. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t move my body in a way that reminds me to evoke more joy for myself and for others. (That was 7 years ago!) Nothing says JOY than skipping thru sunflowers. Don’t you think? I’m so curious how you embody joy? Would you share below? ⤵️⤵️ . . . #sakredshesisterhood #joy #feeltoheal #embodimentpractice #embodimentcoach #childsplay #childlikefaith
