I saved this quote to share with You & todays the day.

Your body cannot heal without play.

Your mind cannot heal without laughter.

Your soul cannot heal without joy.

How many times when you are unwell do you play some kind of game, do a puzzle, card game, craft or other things that you love to do that takes your mind off things and supports your soul.

How many times when you were unwell, sick, had a bad cold, flu, headache, new stitches or whatever it was did you try not to laugh but couldn't help it. You may even put on a comedy show to watch to help you feel better.

How may times did you find Joy in a song, a home cooked meal, a card, flowers, a visit from loved ones or cuddles from your pet.

I imagine it was many times.

A moment to play lets us move onto something that's fun, we can do, control. It fills our face, mind and heart with a smile.

 

A moment for laughter lets us relax, let our stress & worries soften a bit as it disappears out of our bodies and into the world.

A moment of joy lets us remember all the people and things in our lives that we love, hold dear and want to get back to.

Play ... Laughter ... Joy

PS. Often when I've been at a craft faire someone stops by just to have a chat.  

I've heard many good stories but mostly ones of sadness, grief, sickness and stress. 

Many times it was quite emotional but I could see how the releasing of the story helped them heal a bit that day - their face and shoulders softened a bit to help them breathe.

Sometimes they even came back the next day to chat again.💗

Our Lucy, loves to snuggle.

Take Care have a great day and week.

New post next Tuesday.  

Bye for now.

The gift of Breath for you today.

We're going to Simply, One Breath At a Time for another post in the True Treasures series.

So much to love 

And today I've got a shortened version of the ending from the relaxation titled Four Breaths on page 109. 

After you start to get relaxed we go to see what these four breaths offer us. 

I think you'll enjoy these ... only a few minutes of your time but they can provide you with comfort, presence, awareness and a smile. 

* With this breath I offer myself a smile ... a smile warms and uplifts my body ... 

* With this breath, say, I will get in touch with my inner self, and accept where I am at this moment ... 

* With this breath, I will find beauty and pleasure in simple everyday things ... 

* With this breath, I've learned that if I smile, bring my true  self and a new freshness to life, life will allow me to blossom, I will find joy in myself. 

💚 It ends with being invited to a place to smile, breathe, be present and to notice beauty in things - a place t find Joy.

Namaste & Take Care.
