Today fully wrapped up in my to-do list I found myself here, at your weekly mantra. Just before I started I turned my unicorn lamp on and made myself a cup of my favorite coffee. Bob Marley sings to me "I Wanna Love Ya".
It's so easy to get whacked out with our lists and tasks. Yes we have people and things to attend to. But where are you on your list? Maybe right now you are so busy wrapping up your book for publishing, beloveds climbing at your feet and pulling on your clothes, or working on an important work project. Or coming home from a long day and all you want to do is veg out unconsciously.
Fill in your current state of affairs.
Life...
Is luxuriousness a possibility in your everyday? Or play? Perhaps music could bring extra clearing energy to you and the housework or paperwork you simply must do. Light candles **safely** and put on some soothing music in the mornings or evenings. Ask your Higher Power to bring more joy and contentment to your everyday experience. Believe that Spirit is always looking to get your attention. Allowing your vibe to get high and expand attracts more support and unexpected gifts and miracles as well as the divinely radiant afterglow.
When you can't get to the spa, or out to hang with your girls and your list presses on you, cast joy and magic on it. Studies confirm that pleasure and delight strengthen our immune systems releasing healing feel-good chemicals into our blood. Resentment over time has the potential to be poisonous.
Pleasure isn't staying up night after night or doing way too much of what you like. It's nourishing yourself. Pleasure is fully and consciously delighting in the bites you take of that dark chocolate. In fact in her book "Ageless Goddess", Christiane Northrup says studies show habits that aren't that good for us if performed and experienced in the sheer delight of rapture can actually be healing.
It's feeling your way deliciously through a yoga session. It's an impromptu dance party with your kids with a secret intention to tire them out, loving it. Time alone with your honey is underrated. It's a full-on energy clearing meditation ending in deep fulfilling relaxation. It's saying the words themselves and letting them envelope you and fill your cells with heavenly feel-good light. Rapture. Delight. Luscious. Delicious. Ecstasy. Satisfaction. Love.
It is also crossing those things off your list that you committed to doing. That can feel so good. That goodness and pride makes more good stuff and juice to keep you moving forward, but make regular deposits of coinage to your pleasure principle bank. The more treasure amassed the stronger and healthier your immune system will become. Constant stress and overwhelm can suck the juice out of your life and your joints.
Really tragic things will happen in a course of a human's life so get off at the next stop and exit the crazy train.
Be true to your desires. A road trip or spontaneous trip. Nourish yourself with an afternoon spent languishing lazily reading and nibbling on your favorite treats, a nap or ten glorious minutes of nothing. Pleasure calms your nervous system. Don't let the world out there convince you that rushing and pushing constantly is a standard of living to choose for yourself. We flourish and thrive in environments of balance, fun, rest and accomplishment. Take it slow and purposeful. Intentional and steady. Strategic with stealth.
These mantras are like personal notes to you. I am grateful and happy that you are here with me. If I can bring you an elevated experience....maybe even enchanted and a different way of looking at things I've fulfilled my intention.
I would love to know what topics light you up and what you'd like to get more of to wet your spiritual appetite. Feel free to talk to me always in the comments below or chat me up here.
