Joy: The Path to Alignment and Self-Discovery

Alignments become easier and easier as you've practiced using your feelings of expansive joy over and over. Like the pages of your favorite, well-worn book, it may automatically fall open to the pages you need or want to absorb at that moment. Trusting your breath will eventually lead you to the precise clarity you seek from the moment you begin.

Using your breath and offering your complete self in your own meditative state on a repetitive pattern—not done out of obligation, but out of desire and for your own benefit—is like a baseball glove that becomes a second hand to an accomplished player. It has molded to fit you perfectly, allowing you to connect to the energetic level that is just beyond your current reach of expansion, always offering more. Unlike a dangling carrot on a stick in front of a horse, which the horse may never reach, you are able to reach, feel, and revel in the newly expanded version of yourself, remaining in that state for as long as you wish.

For some, you may grow content and then easily slip into boredom, continuing your quest for another, even better feeling, thought, or energetic level. There are fields of energy that you have not yet experienced, which will fill you beyond your physical level of joy—love that is indescribable in human words. If you’ve ever touched on that feeling, it is always there to feel into again. Although you wouldn’t remain in that state without being in a cave or practicing that feeling with monks on a mountaintop, you can still touch on that sensation. It is so concentrated and potent that it can carry you for what may seem like years within your physical construct.

Only a whiff, or even the knowledge that it exists, is needed for you to glide across and still experience all that is available for you to enjoy. Know that all is well; you can’t get it wrong, and you are perfect in every way. Breathe into your satisfaction and well-being, and go out to live, love, and enjoy.
