Six Insights to Create a More Joyful Life

As the New Year gets underway, I wanted to share some insights and musings I've had on my journey that can help you create a more joyful life starting today. Below are six that seem important to share for these new times and new days.
You are not what you have experienced. Experiences are opportunities to grow, expand, strengthen our ability to open the heart to love and be loved, forgive and let go, and foster giving and receiving. Your experiences are not reflective of who you are, your potential, or your beingness. They are energy checkpoints designed to return your focus to the unseen world so you can reawaken, shift to higher frequencies, and bloom into who you truly are.
Most experiences are about opening the heart further, breaking the frozen ice blocks of emotions and traumas that surround the heart. Once we start to clear our physical vessels of the lower vibrations and energy distortions that place limitations and restrictions on who you are, what you are, and what you can create in this life, you live in the flow with greater ease and grace. Things simply come to you - people, opportunities, love, and so much more.
The discordant energies you clear are there to sap your strength and steal your power. When you remember and reawaken to the wisdom and magic of the unseen energy world that creates the life you currently have, your "spiritual" abilities return, life takes on new meaning, and joy and health return. Equally as important, you also reclaim your birthright and the knowledge needed to reimagine and create the life you want.
From my perspective, most experiences are derived from a combination of factors: levels of self-love; "karmic" issues (old patterns/programs, etc.) that are relived so you can recognize and clear them from the energy field; hexes, spells, and curses that mislead and corrupt actions/thoughts/behaviors/experiences; learnings we have chosen to undertake to raise our frequency, and the magnetic quality of your heart to create the life you desire.
When your heart breaks and shatters, it breaks open wider and deeper to allow more love in (receiving) and out (giving). Doing so, elevates each of us to a much higher frequency and vibration. In the higher frequencies, you're better able to magnetize your hearts desires because your heart is open and energy obstructions are removed.
While these experiences are never fun, it's important to note that each person in the scenario above has their own life journey to navigate. Sometimes the journeys come together, other times they run separate. Many times, journeys are both separate and together -- as each person has their own soul's growth to achieve independently, and together with another.
Regardless, once you cross the chasm of heartbreak, the promise of a new and deeper love for self, and others awaits you just on the other side. With a stronger magnetic pull in the heart, life is filled with beautiful synchronicities and the most pleasant surprises.
A crisis is an occasion to make a different choice to bring about a different outcome than the one you are currently experiencing. Free will is powerful stuff. When you make a different choice, you not only break a pattern and program in progress, you also increase your light and frequency, and strengthen your ability to create and magnetize a different life. Once you cross the crisis chasm, everything in your life shifts because what once was is no longer. Since you changed your energy, your life changes, too.
The point is not to stay in a crisis, but to make a choice, release the pain and source, then move through the energy to get to the other side. While it can be hard to take that first step, not making a choice is a choice in and of itself. However, once you step onto a new path, each step increases your power and ability to bring more joy, peace and abundance into your life. And, when you choose light over darkness, your heart-essence will move heaven and earth to fulfill your desires in the most profound and beautiful ways.
Just because a situation didn't occur the way you want it to, doesn't mean it's a bad thing and it's time to throw in the towel. When we have experiences that run counter to our wants and wishes, it's important to innerstand they are there to help us see what's operating in our energy field. If we DON'T like it, we can DELETE the energy and refine our ask so that we have what we truly desire. Here's an example: wanting a relationship but only married and unavailable candidates show up. To reframe this, you delete the energy and replace it with open hearted single candidates ready for committed relationships.
Often, we can't tell what's operating in our field until we experience it first. When we "see" the pattern and/or program operating, we can address it. These experiences are gifts in disguise because they also return the power to choose back to us. Where it belongs. When we release what we don't want in our field, we can REPLACE these energies with what we DO want. Now, how awesome is that? Then you just need to be ready to receive your wants with an open heart and zero expectations.
Do we get everything we ask for? With energetic tune-ups and/or sessions, and workshops we can get your energy primed to magnetize what you want. Just know your heart and essence will always provide you with something equal to or better than what you have asked for. (Visit the Be Thankful for Unanswered Prayers blog for more insight on this.)
Expectations are destined to create disappointment. That's their job, so best to hold no expectations. When we do, we are not open to what is right in front of us. In fact, expectations block what IS coming to you or already here because you can't see it, as you already have an idea for something else in mind. And if what you get does not meet your requirements, disappointment follows. So let go of all expectations. Let what's here reveal itself and you'll be pleasantly surprised with the results.
When we let people and mass media define who we are, what we think and believe, we disempower ourselves by giving our power away. When this happens, we lose our ability to be guided by our heart-essence, which is in alignment with our soul purpose and journey. Our internal compass is the one we should always turn to; it strengthens our intuition and trust in our choices and keeps us on the best path possible.
Yet, so many give their power to others in return for validation, love, and approval. When we do this to belong, be loved, wanted, beautiful, handsome, wealthy, and more, we move down in frequency and open ourselves up to being compromised by dark spirits, and corrupted information that fosters all kinds of negative situations and issues.
When we own our decisions and choices, we empower our intuition and spirit to become one with us, as we step fully into our power. When tough times call and the winds blow, you'll bend with resiliency rather than break with fear in the most difficult situations.
