"L O V E everyone and tell the truth" - Neem Karol

"L O V E everyone and tell the truth" - Neem Karoli Baba
An affirmation I live by said by one of the most influential spiritual leaders of our time: Neem Karoli Baba. He was the enlightened guru who inspired a generation of seekers—including @Babaramdass and @KrishnaDasmusic
There is much valuable wisdom for us to learn from the lineage of Neem Karoli Baba.

My beloved friends, at a time like this we need to get back to the root ingredient to heal our country which is most definitely LOVE.
In opposition to the energetics and tactics with these movements infecting our country with a so called "mission" to bring people together.. I share that I am not muting myself and am instead standing up for the driving force of unification oneness & togetherness which is LOVE!
I am here in service to help support and guide people with the healing our country so needs right now. As I shared, all the light workers, teachers, leaders with devotion to help heal and unify our brothers & sisters of the black community and those suffering need healing and guidance. Please realize this is essential right now. we are in a state of emergency & crisis. We cannot hide at a time like this.
If you, like many that responded to my IG story on why I took down the ⬛ feel the same way, but are conflicted with the peer pressure which is again conditioning and causing more division and exploitation ..I urge you to find the courage and find choices that feel more aligned with your truth.
Please do research ways to educate yourself on authentic modalities for the positive shift we all need now.. so many resources that were helpful for me that I'd be happy to share with you soon.
For now I'm sending love and empowerment to all of you to stand up for LOVE & TRUTH. 💛 JOY

Let us B R E A T H E in solidarity for equanimity

Let us B R E A T H E in solidarity for equanimity and in memory of George Floyd, who said the words "I cant breathe" 15 times as he was under violent police brutality with his arrest. ✨ Monday June 1st 7pm EST live for a talk on our responsibility as a nation and a meditation for equanimity led by me.
✨ I dream of world change, I dream of unity and oneness and love between brothers and sisters of all colors and cultures and equanimity and community between nations and so on and so on....
✨ My dearest friends, I ask you how will anything change if we don't move from the divided paradigms to oneness? From the me to the we? How will anything change if we don't feel the responsibility to take responsibility and begin with the individual practice of presence? The daily rituals that offer more presence, kindness, spaciousness and most of all LOVE..
✨ Join me tomorrow ..let's get a conversation started on a live call.. add comments questions or anything you feel could be of value or needs expression. I love you all 💛 Joy

A D J U S T I N G to life with openings now, may stir external pressures.
Can you find the quiet within and sync into your interior desires. Begin to envision the life you'd like to design for yourself. ✨Take a few breaths ..silence the noise and ask yourself:

What have you learned about yourself?
What brings you into alignment?
What you find meaning in?
What works for you? What doesn't?
With love,🤍

Each D A Y we have the opportunity to see the coming of a new day as a new day to begin again. "To live fully is to be always in no-man's-land, to experience each moment as completely new and fresh." Pema Chödrön

✨With reflection of the challenging moments that arose during the Pandemic, I found the greatest healing along with daily self regulating in meditation, was in working with the elements to transmute the energies and unwanted emotions.
✨Mama Earth is the master healer for transmuting and recycling unwanted and old energies.. ✨Father Sun blesses us with the infusion of energies to revitalize our energy with so much potency.
✨The sky, the wind, the air ushers in a funnel of momentum for us to fly with freedom to reclaim our autonomy..
✨The waters allow us to realize how malleable we are and allows for cleansing and purification.

✨Working with nature for healing empowerment and to live with love and Joy is the greatest gift to awaken to. Its available for you free and open for you 24/7..
With love and blessings,
Joy 🤍✨

The Pandemic experience has left many people more

The Pandemic experience has left many people more alone than they’ve been in a long time, or on the contrary frustrated with being confined for too long without freedom.
Here, @estherperelofficial in her book Mating in Captivity shares:
"Love rests on two pillars: surrender and autonomy. Our need for togetherness exists alongside our need for separateness. One does not exist without the other. With too much distance, there can be no connection. But too much merging eradicates the separateness of two distinct individuals. Then there is nothing more to transcend, no bridge to walk on, no one to visit on the other side, no other internal world to enter. When people become fused—when two become one—connection can no longer happen. There is no one to connect with."
What is the connection you desire mostly now that we have learned more about ourselves and what we mostly crave in connection? 🤍✨

As we ponder on what our lives will be like when we come out of isolation, it's likely to experience mixed emotions, anxious feelings & confusion.
We can feel energies of uncertainty as we try to wiggle our way into a bodyglove that feels aligned with the way we wish to resume our lives.

✨Ask yourself what are the lessons you learned through this radical pause and transcendent time.

✨What are the qualities you wish to embody that bring you to a higher way of being?
✨How do you want to cultivate more quality in your life moving forward? ✨Take the time to reflect on the lessons and takeaways you've learned through your time in Isolation. I like to use a journal and write them out through a stream of consciousness. Do some grounding work and meditate on the intentions you have as you embark on life after isolation/ confinement.

On W O R D S ... "So what is Internal dialogue? In

On W O R D S ... "So what is Internal dialogue? Internal dialogue is the conversation our ego is having with itself. It’s the sub-textual voice that applies logic, reasoning, and beliefs to situations, people, and events. It also serves as a filter for those experiences and colors through the lens we see the world. The internal dialogue plays a vital role in deriving meaning from our life and reality. When our internal dialogue is dark, negative, and dismal, we see a world filtered through those qualities Alternatively, when we have positive, uplifting, and optimistic internal dialogue, we perceive those states as the backdrop of our life." Excerpt from The Power of Words and Internal Dialogue in The Anthology of Thejoyfulapproach.com Read the full article on this powerful tool for subconscious reprogramming.

✨Play is an important part of finding our U N I Q U E authentic expression. It allows us to try on new selves, like costumes with sanctuary. We can pretend to be, pretend to write as if, without committing and then play allows us to discover our authentic self.✨

✨ In the current state of our world, we seek new

✨ In the current state of our world, we seek new answers and new ways of B E I N G as we're presented with a chance for transformation. ✨ We're presented with uncomfortable edges and unseen parts of ourselves; "shadow"aspects in the most random moments. ✨ The Dharma ..the work that elevates us to our higher being is in doing the work in those moments which takes courage and strength to turn inward and get uncomfortable so that we can get comfortable in our lives. Comfort :: living with ease, peace, joy, freedom, love, creative openings...
✨ The more we invest in the "work", the more we get to enjoy the outcome feeling lighter, more free and like you shed layers of dense weight..
✨✨ I offer a container for people to experience great transformation through Alchemical Breathwork.
The Breath serves as a powerful portal accessing lots of the unseen material from the unconscious for us to release and make space for the blessings we are ready to live with and that gorgeous connection to our higher selves..
✨ Schedule a 1:1 through Email Joy@thejoyfulapproach.com 1:1 Breathwork in the subject line or DM me
I lowered the Joyful rate since covid to make this work more accessible for people (exchange 150)

I had so much fun chatting with @asweatlife on my favorite tip for getting through the times we're in..B R E A T H I N G through the diaphragm or Belly Breathing. Link into bio and listen to the interview with Kristen Geil from @asweatlife where I share a step by step guide and discuss the plethora of benefits, from reducing stress, anxiety, worry to elasticizing and strengthening the lungs, athletic performance and oxygenating the body to reduce inflammation and improving circulation. ✨This episode can be found on #WeGotGoals channels on Spotify and Apple.

Stay healthy and keep breathing ..with much love,

Love your B O D Y and it will love you back ✨✨

✨ This morning as I lied in bed and began reflecting on what I feel grateful for, I began with "I'm grateful for my body" ..The practiced deepened into why I am grateful for my body..the resilience of my body, the power of my body, the strength of my body, what my body was able to overcome and endure .. the places my body has taken me to, the amount of miles this body has logged in this lifetime, and the protection my body has guided me with.
✨ I had so much compassion for the times I judged my body, the times I loathed my body, the times I didn't accept my body, the times I sabotaged my body and hurt my body.
✨ I gave my body forgiveness today for all the times I didn't give it the love it so deserved. This was emotional and moving and a most healing return to love.

✨ For those of you that struggle with LOVING your body unconditionally perhaps you can have a dialogue with your body.. and begin by loving it. Journal on all the things you are grateful for about your body and what your body teaches you ..
With much love,✨💛 Joy

✨ M Y S T E R Y vs. Uncertainty ✨

We have been forced into the unknown of what tomorrow will bring.
✨ This could take us into suffering with fear, frustration, and anxiety while we experience interrupted routines, disconnection from loved ones friends and community, financial hardship and worry of contracting illness.

✨ It's an essential time for shifting to a continuity of self regulation through shifting the nervous system from the sympathetic to parasympathetic system with efficient breathing (see IGTV on Diaphragmatic breathing) daily. Come to calm and ease (link into bio for free guided meditation)

✨ Its an essential time to nourish with Spiritual Nourishment,✨✨ just as important as taking care of the physical body (see IGTV on Spiritual Nourishment)

✨ Once the system of the mind body soul are in harmony we then have the ability to choose to enjoy and float in the MYSTERY of the unknown... We breathe in TRUST, we release any thing non serving. (Take 5 deep inhalations breathing in trust, with the exhale breathe out anything disrupting you from trusting)

✨ Now in harmony with trust, curiosity, awe and wonder, use your imagination and dream of a world you wish to call your sacred world and breathe it into being. :))
✨ This is the magic of working with mystery.

Abundant blessings and LOVE, Joy✨💛
