What Lifts Your Soul?

I was watching the coverage of Glastonbury festival this weekend, half wishing I was there (it’s the mud that puts me off!) and enjoying the special soul-lifting moments that (for me anyway) music always seems to bring. Like Blur (one of my favourite bands in the 90’s) finishing with The Universal. Stunning. “It really, really, really could happen…” sent a wonderful shiver up my spine. Even though I wasn’t physically there, with eyes closed, arms in the air, and the volume up I still felt that total BUZZ!
You know that buzz? That feeling that your heart is full to overflowing, that your soul is lifted up, that this moment is the only one that matters and it’s a beautiful moment. I’ve had so many of those moments at gigs, in nature, with friends, and after I finished watching the coverage on Sunday night I was reliving a few of them on my way to sleep. I realised that we don’t do that often enough – we don’t deliberately relive or create those moments that lift our soul…and it’s so much fun to do so!
So what lifts your soul? Think of at least a few things that really bring you joy, really bring a full to overflowing feeling to your heart…and spend a few minutes reliving them until you have a big sappy smile on your face and your soul’s up there in the bliss. Then make some plans to create more moments to add to this memory reel, and start reliving those beautiful moments DAILY. Let me know how you get on!

PS my favourite moment of the coverage was when they showed a sign from the ‘kid’s zone’ which said “Pretending to be an aeroplane is allowed in this area” – GENIUS! I am putting that sign up in my office.

Giving Me Good Vibrations

Woo, I’ve been feeling GOOD these past few days – I’m cheerful, laughing easily, happy, delighted with life…and the outer circumstances of my life have not changed one bit. So it’s not a new bloke, or a brace of new clients, or 1000 sales of my ebook, or any other outside influence. It’s pure bliss, joy, fun, love of life! And it’s wonderful.
We’ve all felt these ‘good vibrations’ where you just feel GREAT (sometimes for no reason!), but for some reason we seem content to just allow the good vibrations to happen when they will, and the rest of the time just struggle on through life the best we can. Well, let me ask you what you think would happen if you made it your life’s work to feel amazing, connected, joyous, blissful, delighted?
It’s something I try to keep in the forefront of my mind. Sometimes, PMT and rain intrude and I simply forget that my dominant intention is to fall in love with my life, but then sometimes I get a run of days where I just feel WONDERFUL! Over the past few days, these are a few things that have helped me ’stay connected’:
There’s probably much more, but you get the idea – now it’s your turn. What gets you in a Good Vibration? And are you going to make it a priority to fall in love with your life?
In Bliss and Love

OnTheBeach – Your True State of Being

- A note from Donna -
Oh, I was so enjoying that weather, I went out and bought a WICKED sun lounger (white and floral – it’s so cheery!) and it’s rained ever since. Aaaah, c’est la vie! But you know, whatever the weather is doing – get out and enjoy the outdoors. I was walking the dog today and everything looks so GREEN and gorgeous – because of the rain. Don’t let the rain get you down – get your wellies on, jump in some puddles and enjoy the green lusciousness of the country. (if you don’t live in England and you have decent weather – just enjoy that!)
- Your True State of Being -
So I was wondering what to write this week, and I was reminded of a message I get a lot (from my intuition, soul self, upstairs, whatever…from somewhere!) – be who you truly are. Do you know who you truly are? Not just your true personality, your true state of being. Most of us touch our true state of being occasionally – big occasions like weddings, births, and incredible experiences bring us close to that purity of feeling.
Sadly, most of the time our true state of being is hidden under a lifetime of worries, irrelevancies and distractions. So what is our true state of being? Love. Peace. Joy. Freedom. Bliss. Notice how you feel when you just say these words. Does one resonate with you more than others? For me, it’s joy. The very word tugs at my heart strings, and I KNOW that joy is my birthright.
As is love, peace, freedom and bliss. That is our true nature, our inner being, our soul is pure love, peace, joy, freedom and bliss. Easy to forget when the kids are screaming, the mortgage needs paying and you are stressed to the heavens. But we humans are pure love…just with lots of layers on! Take those layers off often and get in touch with who you truly are – you are an incredible, gifted, wonderful, gorgeous being with an immense capacity for love, joy, freedom, peace and bliss.
- Something To Play With -
I kept the article short this week so you’d have time for this quick meditation – breathe deeply, and as you breathe in imagine you are breathing in love from all around you (from spirit/God if that appeals to you). As you breathe out, imagine you are sending love out to all around you (or Spirit/God). Do this until you feel your heart expand with love…and if you can, keep going for a few more breaths and revel in this love!! Repeat often – you can even do this while staring at your computer screen…and no one will ever know!
