Sensing Joy

Posted by: Barb on Jun 04, 2007

I receive a lot of email related to the Law of Attraction.

One to which I subscribe that’s related specifically to using the Law of Attraction in business is the Daily Strategic Attraction Tip. I highly enjoy and recommend the book they’re based on, and will be writing an entire page recommending their program when the site design is done.

Though I occasionally have to delete my Strategic Attraction Tips because of the abundance of emails I receive each day, I noticed that a recent tip was about joy.

If you’ve read a few of my posts here, you know that this is something that I want more of in my life. So I was extremely interested in reading it.

The tip asked a question I had never considered, and which really made me think:

Where do you sense joy — do you sense it with your eyes, your ears, your mind, your hands, your feet or in some other way?

Well, I couldn’t answer that question right away. Especially not at the moment I was reading it: my kids were arguing and I was trying to intercede. I was the opposite of joyful.

However, since then, I’ve had many, many opportunities to feel joy and to realize how I sense it. In fact, just now I had a particularly joy-filled moment.

It is evening here and the sun was setting. We’ve been having a lot of rain in Colorado lately, and it’s rained on and off all day today. The kids, finished with their dinner, headed outside to blow bubbles - something we’ve been doing for the past few nights since we got a huge (64 oz.) bottle of bubbles.

It had been sprinkling again, but lasted for only five minutes or so; just enough to thoroughly wet the back porch. As my oldest reached the screen door, he exclaimed, “Hey! I see a rainbow!!”

His siblings and I raced to the back door to watch it grow - another full arc (we’ve got a great vantage point here it seems)! After a few minutes I sat down to check email and my son began blowing bubbles. He disappointingly announced that the rainbow was already fading.

But as I looked at the sky, I saw it growing brighter for a moment, and watched as about fifty rainbow-hued bubbles - large and small - swirled around and floated up to the sky.

Rainbows and bubbles together!

It felt very magical. D And it reminded me of childhood (particularly of a scene from The Muppet Movie).

And then I could really sense my joy - radiating from my heart up and out. It actually felt like waves of energy coming from my heart, moving up through my head and shoulders.

So that’s how I sense joy. And now I wonder: Is there any other way?

How do you sense joy? Does anybody sense joy with their feet S ?
