Daily Joy: Day 17

 Day 17: Daily Joy


Joy has now become a daily practice for me, so that each day I begin with aligning myself to the frequency of Joy, after my morning cup of coffee, in quiet meditation, in the shower...and this is quietly continued throughout my day.

So my 3 moments of daily Joy today were:

1. Toning the Joy frequency in the shower and activating it within.
2. A blast of morning sunlight in my third eye whilst walking through the woods.
3. A clean home after a Winters hibernation...feels good!

There were other moments too, taking in the sea, catching a glance as the sun's rays burst down from a cloud before sunset.
Quiet soft moments of Joy.

Daily Joy Writings Day 17

 Day 17: Daily Joy Writings Day 


Joy has quietly and gently

slipped into my life

Curled up on my lap.

And taken up a space

That I hadn't realised 

Was waiting, needing, to be filled.


Her presence is comfortable

Like a beautiful, well worn jumper

Stretched by time and love

Hands warming round a cup of cocoa.


Joy has become a permanent embrace 

Around my heart

Going me a gentle squeeze 

When I'm feeling low.

Softly, gently 

Lifting my chin

So I catch the rays of light 

Bursting out and down 

At the close of day

And the streaks of pink

As it began. 


She's that special old friend

You'd forgotten how much 

You loved

Forgotten, a little guiltily 

She was even there. 

And how good it felt, 

Simply to have her near, again.


And remembering,

She will always be there,

And that, she never 

 truly went away.

But was curled up, 

All that time, safe and warm

in that dark quiet place

Right behind your heart.

Daily Joy writings: Day 16

 Daily Joy writings: Day 16


I'm beginning to see the world as a music score. 

Dominated by the low notes

The 'duh duh duh daaaaaahhhhh'

Fingers dramatically 

slamming down hard 

On the keys,

At the lower end of the piano.


This is the world right now,

The collective field. 

But then, I begin

To see, and feel

A couple of lighter notes

Come in. 

Like. flute or a piccolo. 

Just two fingers

Dancing playfully 

at the higher end of the piano. 


Butterflies, 

Joyfully twirling 

In the air, Embracing

the morning sun.

And, then in wonder

As others come. 


And up and up the song rises

Hands playing a beautiful 

but intricate 

Dance of Joy. 

And, in this song

In this dance. 

On the piano 

In the corner of the room. 

The world begins to lift up.

Daily Joy: Day 15

Daily Joy: Day 15 

And some days are a 'hard to find joy' day. Today was one of those. 

It's raining. It's cold. I hardly slept and the puppy threw up on the way to school. 

So  have to try a little harder to find my moments of joy. Dig a little deeper to find those nuggets, no matter how small. 

My 3 daily joys were:

1. Bringing in feelings of Joy intentionally with my 'smile meditation'. Despite feeling rubbish, I realise I can still choose to feel joy. At any time, any moment. The key worlds being 'I choose' and then acting on them.  

2. Thinking of a good friend, about to step out of his comfort zone and share his gifts with the world. 

3. Snuggling up under my heated blanket. 

An intention, a thought and something very simple. No matter how small, Joy can be found.

The Frequency of Joy: Explorations and Discoveries : : Day 15

The Frequency of Joy: Explorations and Discoveries : Day 15

I keep getting this 'GO THERE' with this 'Rediscovering Joy' journey that I have found myself on, Joy leaving me little bread crumbs, little sign posts that I might miss if I wasn't so focused on my quest. 

I feel like externally the world is looking extremely dark. I sneak a peak at it, every now and then, and go 'oooh no, I don't think so',  as I note how it makes me feel, how my body reacts, and so I quickly retract. 

I love this journey I am on. I love where it's taking me. Though the final destination is yet unknown. I love what it's revealing, I love how I'm feeling. I love how it's changing me from the inside out. I love that I have written the word 'I love' seven times in one paragraph! I recently heard "Love doesn't mind who or what you love. It is the the feeling of love that is important'. I love what I am doing right now. There I sneaked another 'I love' in (and another). 

I have always been a firm believer, that to change the world, we first must make the change within. And I am so so curious about where it will lead. What internal changes will take place within and whether this will become mirrored in my external.

I mentioned how, when I looked out at the world through the window of a screen, it was pretty scary. I saw how my feelings could easily turn to anger or fear. The lower emotional frequencies state.

All emotions are energy. They move, they vibrate. The very word 'e-motion' refers to this, as 'energy in motion'. And each emotion vibrates at a different frequency. 

The frequency of Joy is a specific frequency in itself. It is one of the higher frequencies on the emotional spectrum. And sits amongst others such a Love, Gratitiude, Abundance. All above 500htz. Love vibrating at 528 htz. 

Joy for me, is slightly higher. In fact, I have realised I can tune into the exact frequency when I feel Joy, and I can tone the frequency out loud, emitting the frequency of joy externally and internally bathing myself in the sound waves of the JOY frequency. 

It turns out, that there has been much research on the benefits of these higher emotional frequencies such as Joy,  on our health and well-being . They have positive effects on our body, as they improve immune function, cardiovascular health and accelerate healing ie. we get better faster if we introduce these frequencies in our lives. They also give us greater mental clarity, increase our creativity and resilience. Because when we experience them, we are more likely to adopt a positive approach to life and can better navigate life's ups and downs. Resulting in more harmonious relationships and attracting more positive experiences, people and opportunities into our life. 

The lower emotional frequencies would be Anger, Fear, Grief, Sadness, Sorrow. Operating at 100 Htz or below. Whilst they are all valid and essential human emotions. If we remain stuck in them, or they become our constant state of being. they can cause havoc for our physical, emotional and mental health, contributing to poor health, chronic stress, depression and anxiety. 

So I have been getting curious at introducing, or becoming more conscious of the little moments of Joy that I experience throughout the day. The act of being conscious of it, means that when I feel it, when I experience it, I am putting my awareness towards that feeling, that frequency. I am holding it. 

Apparently emotions last 90 seconds in pure form and their effects can last for longer. So by being aware of these moments and not letting them fleetingly pass me by. I am getting the maximum benefits from the frequency. And by recording my moments of Joy later in the day, I am experiencing them again. By practicing my 'Smile Meditation' throughout the day, I am again introducing this frequency into my whole system once again. Contributing to raising of my overall frequency that my system is operating at. 

I can only imagine this must be doing wonders for my health! but already it has had a dramatic effect on my outlook, my emotional health. I feel more positive. I feel at times, even excited. 

I am aware that for those who dance with the dark side, depression, grief, sorrow, despair, may have systems that have become saturated with these low frequencies. We know now that they can cause havoc for our health and contribute to a negative outlook, an inability to lift our heads up to see the beauty in the world, I know, because I have been there. But by introducing little moments, what I call 'touch points' of joy, becoming conscious of them, of what we feel in that moment,  can help to begin to lift up our overall vibrational state. Raising our frequency substantially enough to help lift our heads up a little, and then a little more, and a little more. 

Joy is like the strings that can raise our head back up and make life worth living once more....






Daily Joy: Day 14

 Daily Joy: Day 14

Today, a no school day, a child poorly at home day, a storm day, a strong energy day. 

Yet despite all this, it was also 'A quiet cultivation of Joy Day'. 

My moments of Joy today surprisingly surpass three!: 

1. The puppy showing me her downward dog beside me while I did yoga. 

2. Us laughing at the puppy's smile, as she smiled at us non-plussed.

3. Running down the beach in the wild wind, shouting 'Wha-hoo'.

4. Playing a dragon warrior game with my daughter.

5. Moving to music while reciting the poem "Joy Chose You' as my daughter tried to get me to engage in a hand pushing game. 

6, Making beautiful little clay pendents together.

7. Cwtching up under the heated blanket watching something we both love.

I'm noticing, my moments of Joy seem to be increasing and even in the in-between spaces I bring in my smile and breath and breathe that frequency of Joy throughout my system. Washing up, taking the dog out to pee....all the mundane every day tasks, I realise can be enthused with the essence of Joy, If I choose to make it so. So I do. I Choose Joy!

Daily Joy Writings: Day 14

Day 14: Rediscovering Joy

A voice has been whispering
These past few days.
A line from a poem
Like a long forgotten dream.
I know this!
As I hear the line
Repeat on loop
Inside my head.

I have lived this, breathed this
Embodied this.
It is imprinted on my soul.
Now being re-remembered.
Arising like the Phoenix
From the ashes.
My soul awakening
To the spirit of adventure
Sensing the world that awaits.
Emerging from that ‘out of the
Way places of the heart.
Where my thoughts never
Thought to wander’.

But as I go there
I recognise the familiar tread
And when I reach that place
Behind my heart
There is is!
That something very special
That has been quietly forming.

I reach out
And hold it tenderly,
In my hands.
Like a silver Pearl of light,
My New Beginning
That has been ever so
Quietly forming
In the out of the way places,
At the back of my heart.

With deep gratitude to John O’Donnohue and his poem ‘For a New Beginning’

Daily Joy Day 12

 Day 12: Daily Joy

My three daily moments of Joy today were:

1. Being greeted by bright waning cresent moon above the sea when I opened my curtains. 

2. Thinking of a dear friend, a beautiful Irish Woman across the sea. 

3. Running around the block through the woods in the sunshine with puppy and child having a quick burst. 

And I have more!!!

4. Getting my skates on and gliding around the sport hall at the roller disco to an old school rave track.

6. Taking walk to the sea with my best and oldest friend and discovering she too had been given the same poem "Joy Chose you" on a recent Joy workshop in the workplace.....ahh the wonders....

5. And closing our day in bed, toning together with my daughter the different tones for all the main emotional frequencies, after doing some research on Joy, will share more on this.......

Daily Joy Writings: Day 12

 Day 12: Daily Joy Writings: 


A Quiet Revolution is taking place 

From the comfort of my home

From my daily walks,

My encounters

Even, 

From my bed.


It requires no guns, 

no bombs

No angry words

No fear

No hate.


Just a focus, 

A redirection. 

An quiet but firm intention

To choose Joy

In any given moment.

Any part of your day

to peacefully, but determinedly, 

Choose another way.


To cast aside fear

Turn away self doubt.

To open up the rubbish bag

and throw out all 

That holds you back. 


"I don't need you" 

Spoken, as you tie up the bag. 

To look up, 

And see, the halo of light

As the moon bears silent 

Witness, urging you on. 


The real battle is not in a distant 

And far away land  

It is up close.

It is personal

It is here

It is now. 


It is in what you do 

And what you feel 

And what you

Ultimately choose. 


There is a quiet revolution

And it's happening right here, right now.

From the comfort of my bed.
