What is Joy? – By Neetaji

Often I come across clients who are desperately looking out for a perfect partner in their lives and lead a sad existence because of the heartbreaks they go through in this search. Recently I did aura session with a young lady who had tried to attempt suicide because her lover left her. After the session, I went into deep soul search trying to understand what made her think of doing this and how can a person come out of throes of pain and agony to discover Joy within them. How do you create a life of joy? First, let’s understand that joy is a state of being. It’s deeper and fuller and longer lasting than happiness. Happiness is an emotion that is often fleeting and dependent on an outside circumstance or event like good food, a new car, sex, hobby etc . Joy comes from within; it isn’t dependent on anything going on outside of you. Joy is a spring that comes forth from within when you align with your soul. It is something you experience when your Sacral/Swathisthana chakra is fully balanced.. Swathisthana.. when the soul sits in the body and experiences the Taste of “Being”.. For this call your soul to you right now. All you need to do is think of it, and invite it to join you in eternal bliss.  Some people imagine their soul as an enormous light, surrounding and penetrating their physical body like a sphere of light all around them. Allow the union to open you to a new level of joy, your soul’s joy. Sense how beautiful and perfect you are as a soul; how full of joy and love. The world of the soul does not know sorrow or pain. It knows only love, joy, and bliss. You can bring your soul’s joy into your daily life. You can stop struggling. You can trust that the universe is perfect and that it is always working for you. Joy comes when you understand that everything that happens in your life is brought to you by your soul and Higher Self to assist you in growing stronger and in evolving. Your attitude determines how you experience the world. Attitudes are magnetic and every moment you spend in joy magnetizes another moment of joy. Acknowledge the joy you already have in your life, and you will feel it even more often. Joy is a feeling in the present moment, not something you will have in the future. Know that the universe is always working for you. Recognize that everything that is happening in your life is for your higher good, even if you cannot understand why. Let go of being a victim, and know that everything that is happening is something you have drawn to yourself to help you become stronger, more whole, and closer to your soul. Stop blaming others or the universe. Instead, affirm that you are the creator of your life, and that you can create any life you want for yourself. Take a situation you dislike and say, “In some way I don’t yet perceive, this situation will give me many wonderful opportunities to grow and bring me many blessings.” As you say this, you create it as so. Your soul loves and accepts you unconditionally, it sees the beauty and perfection of your being. You can have more joy by giving yourself freedom. Freedom is an inner feeling. It is the ability to choose what you want. It is the knowledge that you are the captain of the ship. Freedom is knowing that you own your own life, that you are the one in charge and you can steer it in any course that you choose too.. and you will choose abundance in all dimensions. Trust yourself and Trust your Creator that future holds great promises.   You can learn to create joy in your life by feeling inner peace. Each time when you choose to feel good about yourself, even when someone is criticizing you, putting you down, or acting in a way that you used to respond to with pain, you are choosing joy. Each time you do you create freedom in your life by freeing yourself from these “external Triggers” and in time these will fade away when they see they have no effect on you.
