JOY
As The Key To Accepting Change
by Vywamus

When you are surrendering to constant change in your life, and letting go of the need to control that change in an effort to give to yourself the greatest potential and bring the greatest opportunities, then the presence of joy is very, very, very important.

Joy is a vibration. It can be expressed as laughter, movement, peace and clarity of mind and abundant physical well-being. It can be expressed in not knowing what the future will bring to you and be relaxed about not knowing. When you honor your joy and allow the joy to fill you, it begins to soften all the points of resistance and hardness created from the onslaught of self judgment arising from not having met your expectations.

Joy melts the gap between the separated parts of yourself. It acts as a bridging agent. Joy, itself, is not a transforming principle. It is an energy when activated, allows you to simply BE....in a relaxed and accessible state to the other transforming energies that you have invoked in your seeking to know yourself.

Some of you have an agreement with yourself that states you cannot experience joy when you don't get what you expect you're suppose to get. If your expectations are not met, then you remove your awareness of the inner presence of joy and create a state of contracted joy. You take the joy vibrations and decrease it. When you do that, joy becomes pain because it is not being allowed to vibrate in its fullest presence. And since many of you have a great number of expectations about yourself which you insist cannot be met...i.e., expectations about your performance, your way of being, your way of loving, your way of serving, your way of relaxing, your way of socializing, your body, your abundance, etc....then you tend to experience a great deal of pain and very little joy.

So, when you do not meet your expectations, you take the joy that is naturally within you, the natural state of your being, and you decompose it into pain. You play with joy in this manner. This is an energy that you have become master of, believe it or not my friends. You are a Master of your joy. Why do you think you can create so much pain? To take a natural state of being and to place it in a dysfunctional state, requires a mastership of it. A little child can not do this, only a Master can.

As a Master of joy, you need to look at what you are doing. Perhaps, instead of utilizing joy as your reward or punishment, depending upon your performance in relation to your expectations, maybe you should simply let joy be free. Let it work WITH you and FOR you because in its natural state, it can do that.

Joy is very much connected with your breath. When you breathe, you ignite the subtle vibration of joy that can be experienced within the physical and emotional bodies. Each breath, form the moment you are born is designed to bring a greater and greater vibration of joy into your consciousness. It is your natural state to breathe. If you hold your breath from moving, you will experience severe pain. Joy can be experienced in physicality as long as you breathe. Every time you breathe, you ignite joy. When the physical breath ceases, joy vibrates to a greater expression in the other realms.

Take a moment now and become quiet. Now take a deep breath and feel the vibration that comes on the breath. This vibration uplifts you, doesn't it? It is a very subtle vibration - that's the ignition of joy.

Joy has never been lost to you. As a master of joy you have decided it will not be felt. Let the joy build in your bodies as you breathe. You will never touch your passion, my friends without touching joy. Joy is the bridge into it. Joy. It is a natural state of being. Your body vibrates to it, very easily. Your mind has yet to figure out why it would desire joy. It has decided that joy when it is vibrating in its lower state as pain, is a very valuable tool for learning. But the mind has not yet figured out why it would want to allow joy to flow in it's natural state. In joy, your energy expands and flows, the heart and body begins to relax...and the mind freaks out. "What is going to happen to me now? How am I going to maintain control and assure that I will meet my expectations with this type of flow?" In the presence of joy, the mind must let go of its expectations and its need to control the now and know the future. If the mind cannot do this, it will simply disconnect from joy.

In the presence of joy, expectation is dissolved. And one might say that in the ability to separate itself from God dissolves. Also, in the presence of joy, you can experience the movement of many different emotions. In the presence of joy, you may experience anger, rage, sadness, grief, happiness, elation, etc. Joy simply brings a flow of emotion needing to be experienced to the surface. If women allow themselves to feel joy, they will drop very quickly into their base chakra. If men allow themselves to feel joy, their consciousness will move into the heart chakra. Why the difference? Because joy always takes you to those places where you have difficulty touching. Women hesitate to connect into the base chakra because they don't want to become like men; and the men hesitate to connect into the heart chakra because they don't want to become like women. Women tend to believe that if they touch their base chakra that they will become incredibly selfish. And the men believe that if they touch their heart chakra, they will simply be used. So, with your breath, allow the vibration of joy to connect you where you need to experience.

If you are trying to look for joy, you will not see it because the mind cannot see joy. The mind can only see that which is in a "separated state" from God, and cannot see that which is not. Joy is not in a separated state. The mind was created to identify the illusion of separation not to identify the wholeness. The mind can't see love. The mind can't see courage. The mind can't see compassion. The mind can't see unconditional allowingness. Therefore, the mind cannot control these things. Isn't that a wonderful blessing? For some of you, if you cannot control something you will not acknowledge its presence and its affect on you.

Joy doesn't seek to draw anything from anyone else. It is whole within itself. It is self promoting, self creating. If you are experiencing joy, you do not seek to manipulate another to validate your experience. Any energy that is vibrating in the wholeness is full of itself and it never seeks external validation. What it will do is to radiate outward and simply touch others. Whole energies include unconditional love, compassion, courage and unconditional allowingness.

So if you're sitting in joy, you won't find yourself running around asking " am I in joy, am I in joy, am I in joy?" If you're sitting in love, you won't find yourself running around asking "am I in love, am I in love?" If you're practicing compassion you won't find yourself running around asking, " am I compassionate, am I compassionate?" You will simply be vibrating in your fullness.

Joy will put you in touch with your physical body, your body consciousness. So as you site ignited in joy, you become very much aware of your body consciousness...its needs, it dislikes and desires... and you will choose to express it. As you sit in joy, the desire to love yourself unconditionally increases. Joy stimulates the ignition of you wholeness and your life force. It is simply part of the natural state of being.
