Follow Delight to the Light

Wednesday Experience

• Are you weighed down by a shroud of “shoulds?”
• Do you feel that if you do what brings you delight, pleasure and joy you are being selfish?
• Do you seek to be good by focusing on “duty” instead of love or service?
• Do you have a war between Self and others?

The Shroud of Shoulds covers your Sacred Heart, so that you cannot hear its guidance or follow its compass. It disconnects you from your own bliss.

But your bliss is the bell that Spirit rings to let you know that you are being your Essence, fulfilling your purpose and vibrating at the right frequency to influence the world positively with your unique gifts!

So covering your Sacred Heart with the Shroud of Shoulds muffles the ringing of that Spirit Bliss Bell, and leaves you deaf to your spiritual guidance.

Now you must recline more heavily in others’ expectations and judgments, and you work harder to please them, to do what they think is right, to be an obedient daughter, a good mother, a good wife… all on their terms.

That’s how you lost your way, dear friend.

But you can find it again. Look for the tiny light of delight. Follow it back to your heart.

See it shining. What brings you joy? What seemingly simple, small activity or experience brings you deep soulful joy?

For me it is: dancing, walking among trees, receiving the sun in my skin, looking at the moon, seeing flowers.

What is it for you? Name it.

Now do one of these things each day this week.

Then open your eyes to more delight.

What makes your heart dance with joy? What purpose, gift, creative or delightful activity brings you alive?

For me it is: dancing, drawing or painting, writing poetry, playing drum, taking people in shamanic storytelling journeys and ceremonies.

What is it for you? Name it.

Now make a decision to do this in your life from now on. Make sure that you set aside time in your calendar for this. And write it in read, which means, not movable for anyone unless there’s a fire-type emergency.
