The Aha! The Joy of Clarity

I had a moment of such clarity this past Sunday morning that it brought me to tears. It was such a brilliant, clear thought that it completely altered the rest of my day and how I interacted with other people. I experienced such a sense of peace, I felt like I was glowing.

I have a genuine appreciation for moments like this. Usually they come on the end of a time of great contemplation, then you stop thinking and the clarity happens. It's just like when you're trying to remember something and then you stop thinking about it...miracle of miracles...you remember. This usually happens for me in the shower. It's a great place to let your mind wander, your daydreaming time (refer to "The Joy of Daydreaming)

I have had other times like these. Each time I am filled with gratitude for having experienced it. I tell the story to whomever will listen. I have conversations with people all of the time about revelations that they have had. They tell me wonderful stories of the things that have been revealed to them.

One of the beautiful things about hearing other people's moments of clarity is the look on their face. Their eyes sparkle and they have a brightness about them from the fire that was just ignited. The intensity of thought is gone, replaced by a sense of peace & serenity.

When we stay open to change, allowing the energy to ebb & flow as it will, clarity happens. When we let go of trying to control the process, we are blessed with new ideas, bright spots of understanding, a release of an old difficulty. The less we try to hold on to an idea, the easier it comes to you.

What a glorious feeling when you have this moment. It almost feels as though a weight on your brain has been lifted, a tightness in your chest (that you didn't even know was there) finally lets go & you can take a deep breath. It's a release from your center. You even stand taller. You find it easier to smile...

I have this glorious place that I put things on my heart. I call it my intention pocket. If there is something weighing on me...I write it down...tuck it into my pocket & let it go to the Universe. In the past, I have walked labyrinths, spent a great amount of time in prayer, journaled and then burned it. Release your hold on it...the joy of clarity is your gift.

I have an invitation for you instead of an assignment...I invite you to let go. What is weighing on your mind right now? Choose just one thing that you are finally ready to be done with, or a question that you are finally ready to receive the answer to. Remember you must be ready to let go of control...you must be willing to accept whatever answer comes to you. If you've been trying to control it and that hasn't been working...then allow yourself to give this a try. Write it down, put it in an envelope, seal it & let go...when the clarity comes, take a deep breath & smile!

Until next time...

Joyously yours,
