By Terra Sonora and "ONE"
My loving angels and spirit guides, who collectively call themselves "ONE", are always reminding us that we are here to experience as much joy as we can. Their messages help me to remember that we all have the inherent right to create joy in our lives. Too often I see people who are mostly joyless and who seem to struggle with life itself. My heart truly goes out to those who have challenges in life and this article is my way of helping you to understand that joy can be an amazing, wonderful part of your life, no matter what your circumstances. Joy is who you are, what you can create, and a lifestyle that you can choose. Please hear "ONE's" words and take them into your heart. My love and blessings to you. Terra Sonora
"ONE": Greetings dear ones. Today we wish to speak to you of joy. Know that the most important thing that you can create is joy. Joy can be one of the most miraculous healers of all humanity. Imagine the healing power in the sound of a giggling child. Imagine someone who is depressed or perhaps very ill and they play a tape recording over and over of uncontrollable giggles of children. Can you imagine just how healing that would be? The power of that is so underestimated.
Know, dear ones, that you have that giggling child inside of you at all times. That giggling child inside of you wants to come out and play more and more and more. By allowing the silliness, allowing the humor, and allowing the unabashed fun, you can create miracles in your life and in the lives of others.
The greatest gift that you can give to your own Higher Self is as much joy as you can stand. Indeed, by doing this, you will make your Higher Self, your angels and your loved ones happier than you can imagine. Our greatest wish for you, dear ones, is that you push the limit of how much joy you can handle. Some of you can only have so much joy before you put the brakes on. We wish that you would ease off the brakes and that you go for it. Live your life with carefree abandon.
Yes, there is a time and a space for thoughtful responsibility, but you must allow your spirit to be free. Allow your soul to sing, to dance, to laugh and to play and indeed you will know the joy of all that you are. Indeed we hope you can feel what we are sharing with you and apply it in your life in whatever way fits for you. Embrace some type of ritual into your life to help you in your appreciation, gratitude and awareness of all that you are and indeed you will experience more joy.
Creating Joy
You are blessed to be here in this physical realm with so many pleasures and delights. There is so much joy that can be felt and experienced in this physical plane, that we hope each one of you will pay attention to your inner need for joyfulness and your inner desire to laugh, to share good humor and to share positive, loving, happy energies with others. Bring joy to others, because there are far too many people who are taking their realities far too seriously. We would encourage you to keep your energies centered in love, and bring a bit of light and laughter into the lives of others. We feel this is a timely message for all of you now. Even if this is an intense time for you, we want you to know that this is a time for magical transformations. The intense energies can be utilized in a very positive way to bring all the goodness into your life that you need.
As you choose joy and allow more inner peace, you come into balance with your own soul and you step into the fullness of all that you are. It is then that your life becomes easier. Perspectives seem more clear when you know peace and joy. Know that the love in your heart dwells within you at all times, and that you are never separate from it. Having that knowledge can bring a higher level of contentment and peace that can bring a greater flow of energy in your life. This allows you to move with the energies as they come into your life.
Your spirit guides and angels wish to work closely with you to elevate your energies, and to help you know more of who you are. Call upon them to remind you how beautiful and joyful a being you truly are, because they know the power joy and the beauty that you are.
Good Friends are like Food to the Soul
This new millennium is likely to be a time in which more and more loving and positive people will come into your life. We say that because as you continue to grow and evolve, there is an inward compelling to be with like-minded spirits, to be with positive, loving, supportive people. More and more you will need to honor that and be with people who make you feel good, people who love you, and who give you positive support. This is like food to your soul, dear ones. So give yourself that wonderful treat, go out with that good old friend that you perhaps haven't seen in a while, who makes you feel all warm inside because they love you so much. Go be with those people, treat yourself to some love. Pick up that telephone and make someone's day.
As new people come into your life, love them and be grateful for them. See them as giving you new and interesting opportunities to heal and grow. Give them the gifts of your heart and soul that you are meant to share with them. In turn, love yourself enough to receive the gifts of love and spirit that they wish to give to you.
Be aware that even those people who seem to make your life difficult or challenging, can be viewed as your teachers. What lessons are they giving you? Be aware the time will come when your lesson will be complete and it will be time to move beyond it. Have enough self-love and self-respect to remove yourself from any abusive situations. Thank your teachers for the personal growth and move on. Be aware that the more you love yourself, feel pride in who you are and open your heart to love everyone, the more joyful your life will be.
Our deepest wish for each one of you dear ones, is that you have such a profound level of inner peace, inner strength, inner confidence and self love, that you can carry yourself forward in your life, with your head held high, always wanting to give the love in your heart to all. That is truly a joyful life. We are not speaking of an illusionary life, we are speaking of a true heartfelt life experience, day in and day out.
Your Special Gifts
Be aware that you have special gifts bestowed upon you by the Creator/Source. These gifts are your own special unique talents and qualities that make you wonderful. We want you to develop those gifts, to acknowledge the goodness and the greatness that is within you that is needing to come forth and be expressed in this world.
It may be that your highest and greatest purposes are simply to be that gentle listener, that soft shoulder that your friend can cry upon when he or she needs it. It may be that your purposes are to heal and to bless others with your loving, healing energy. It may be that your purposes are to teach and to share your wisdoms with all who ask or come to you. Whatever your life purposes are, know that you have some very special abilities within you to help bring forth those purposes into their highest manifestations. We want you to honor those gifts of spirit and truly honor the expression of God/Goddess that is within you. To integrate this concept into your life is to create joy in all that you do.
Breathing to Connect with your Higher Self
The breath can be used to accelerate your vibration, achieve higher levels of consciousness and attain greater concentration and focus. By focusing on the breath, you can reach deeper levels of meditation which will help you to connect with your spirit guides, angels and with your own Higher Self.
Take some time to visualize your own Higher Self, you own lightbody. That is who you are. Imagine stepping outside of your physical body a moment and take a look at it. See your Higher Self. Look it up and down and see your soul. What does your Higher Self look like? You might even want to give your Higher Self a special name that you can identify. Call in that name whenever you are wanting to be reminded that you are more than just your physical body.
A Joyful Walking Meditation
Take some time to go for a walk, preferably in nature. Take some deep breaths and allow the breath to ground you completely into your body. Breathe with the intention of clearing the mind. With each breath in, use your visualization abilities to see light energy coming into your mind and blowing away all the clouds and the cobwebs. With each breath see more and more of the clarity, imagine or see the blueness of a perfect blue sky, and let that image clear your mind.
As you walk, with more and more clarity of mind and lightness in your step, imagine that your joyful inner child is happy with who you are today. He or she loves you unconditionally and is proud of who you have become. Allow this joyful inner child to be present in your body and move your body in joyful ways. If you are in a public place, this is a way you could certainly spread the joy! Allow laughter and giggles to be a healing balm to your soul. Free yourself from the trap of being too concerned about what other people think. Be yourself and revel in the joy you can create for yourself. As you do this, you can heal on very deep levels, and make a significant contribution to the healing of humanity.
Ponder what activities give you joy. What creates delight and happiness in your life? What playful, fun thing can you do today? Whose life can you impact by sharing your good humor?
Your choices in life can create chaos or create joy. We encourage you to honor your spirit and choose to live your life with a joyous perspective. Regardless of your circumstances, even in the worst of times, the secret to feeling joy is right inside your own heart. Your soul knows joy. Let your soul dance, your heart sing, and your life will be filled with many rich blessings.
Our love and joyful blessings to you. We are ONE.
May you find your joy each day.
