Hello,
Beautiful soul.
Welcome to the Simply Joyful Journey podcast.
Meditations and musings for a Simply Joyful Journey.
Settle in and let's begin.
Beauty and joy are in and all around us.
They are in the moments that we are present and we hear a bird sing or a child laugh.
It is the sweetest thing.
When we see and smell a beautiful flower or when we laugh and talk with our friends for hours.
Beauty and joy can be found in the smiles that we see and in the stillness of the oak tree.
They may even be found in the harder times when a challenge presents itself and yet we choose to shine.
We have a deep knowing within ourselves that beauty and joy can be found everywhere.
Find a comfortable seat.
You may like to place a hand over your heart to physically connect with yourself.
Allow your mind to gently rest in your heart space.
Begin to inhale slowly and softly.
Allow yourself to smile and be fully present as you breathe.
Now allow your hands to rest in your lap as you continue to breathe.
We come into this world.
We learn the language.
We familiarize ourselves with the customs and traditions.
We arrive here ready to immerse ourselves to get the full experience.
Even so,
Sometimes we completely lose sight of where we came from.
Who we truly are.
Why we are here.
We lose the playfulness and the wonder.
No longer do we have an awe for life,
For nature,
For this earthly experience.
We often become serious,
Anxious,
Consumed with fear for ourselves and for those we love.
We take the joy out of living.
Not only do we lose sight of our original purpose,
We often then try to convince those around us to do the same.
We become consumed with the nitty-gritty details and lose sight of the larger perspective.
It is time to come back to ourselves.
Come back to who we truly are.
Remember why you came here.
Look for things in life that bring you joy,
Little and big.
Look for things to be grateful for in all circumstances.
The amazing moments and the less than perfect ones too.
Realize that it is not the material things that bring us joy.
That joy actually comes from within us.
Feel gratitude for the life experience that we get to live each day that we are in our bodies.
Let us bring back the wonder and joy for life.
Let us take time to notice the beauty.
Allow yourself to luxuriate in the warmth of the sun on your skin.
Feel the cool breeze in your hair and the grass between your toes.
Watch in awe as the sun rises or as the stars twinkle in the sky.
If we look,
We can find beauty and joy in and all around us.
Continue to breathe.
Let us take time to notice the beauty in our bodies.
Let us take time to notice the beauty in our bodies.
Bring your attention to your breath.
Let us take time to notice the beauty in our bodies.
Let us take time to notice the beauty in our bodies.
Let us take time to notice the beauty in our bodies.
Let us take time to notice the beauty in our bodies.
Let us take time to notice the beauty in our bodies.
If your attention wanders,
Bring it back to your breath.
Let us take time to notice the beauty in our bodies.
Let us take time to notice the beauty in our bodies.
Let us take time to notice the beauty in our bodies.
Let us take time to notice the beauty in our bodies.
Let us take time to notice the beauty in our bodies.
Let us take time to notice the beauty in our bodies.
Let us take time to notice the beauty in our bodies.
When you are ready,
Open your eyes if they were closed.
And continue to smile.
Have a beautiful,
Joyful day.
Thank you for taking this time to connect with your beautiful soul.

Light,
