What I love about modern day spirituality is that it is so freeing. Really. I believe we can praise God in all that we do and that includes enjoying oneself. Face it, when we are having fun we are lighthearted. What better way to connect with Spirit than when we are relaxed and feeling euphoric. How does that look for you and when was the last time you really felt free? I feel free when I am doing readings. I enjoy dancing and recently acted like a 21 year old and went out at 10:30 at night to celebrate a 21st birthday. What fun!! I won’t mention the slight hangover the next day. ( I must have been dehydrated!) That may be a topic for another blog. About a month ago, I found I had some free time, turned up the music and danced and sang my heart out for about 30 minutes. I never expected to do it, but really had a fun time and felt revitalized after. So, what are some atypical ways we can all let our hair down? Well, if you need some ideas, how about walking barefoot in the grass or taking a walk along the water’s edge. Play with your dog off of the leash. You can run through a sprinkler or take a nap. Spirit wants you to relax and enjoy the simple things in this life. A good friend of mine says “Life is not a dress rehearsal”. She believes she needs to be moving each minute. Another acquaintance says, “I will have enough time to sleep and rest when I am in heaven”, and proceeds to stay up all hours to get things done. Wow, I am glad I am not in their heads. I get exhausted just thinking about what they are saying and imagining what it is like to be them. Life is about loving yourself enough to slow down and enjoy each moment. Curl up on the couch and enjoy a cup of tea while rifling through magazines. Better yet, go lie on the hammock and read that book that is on your list. You can always nap after reading a few chapters. Just an added bonus. Enjoy!
I didn't know you like to dance! What fun!
