Eyes of Spirit - Processing

In this episode, Joy invites us to see ourselves through a different lens, ones of unconditional love, compassion, and wholeness. We are reminded that we are sovereign beings with an innate capacity to heal, grow, and reconnect with our true nature.

We are also encouraged to release survival-based thinking and open to a more expansive way of perceiving ourselves and the world. Joy guides us to imagine being seen through the "eyes of spirit," allowing divine love and appreciation to illuminate even the parts of ourselves that have felt forgotten or wounded.

Finally, Joy explores the subtle language of signs, synchronicities, and inner knowing, encouraging us to trust the gentle guidance always available to us. 

Processing episodes help release our burdens and points of suffering, enabling us to break free from their hold.

It's just wonderful when we connect, we open up with a little phrase, and then we just see where we're gonna go, what guidance will come in, help us, support us. We'll set that up so that every one of us gets something from this connection. We're just gonna ask all our guides, just be present, be fabulous, be here. Let's make this a very deep healing session so that we can all receive what it is that will help us, support us at this time. Really very important that we start to reconnect to the idea of us having the capacity to do the healing on our own being. We've been told that we're not healers, that other people can do it, and la la la. Not really true. You are the sovereign being of your being. You are the guardian, the light, the healer, the love. You are everything of your own being. So we must just plug back in to our own being in a very different way. That'll be such a gorgeous thing for us to do as we talk today about the eyes of spirit. Imagine if we could look through these eyes and see how we are being seen through the eyes of all that is, through the divine, and being seen through those eyes of so much love and compassion. Wouldn't it be beautiful if we could see ourselves that way? No stories or pain, no more downgrading of our own energy, only holding our energy open to the highest vibration of light and love, receiving that top end now. We're gonna take a deep breath, we're gonna bring in our energy field, connect, we make this a beautiful gathering for light and love. We're gonna open our hearts so that we can receive all the healing, wellness, flow, insight, guidance, whatever it is that will help us from this moment forward as we move and continue to go in our life journey. What a journey is the journey. Let's take a deep breath as we settle down into this moment, my lovelies. Long, slow out breath. Remember these resets, my treasure. We find ourselves here in these moments where we can just stop, become very present in your presence. When we close our eyes, if it's safe for you to do that, we are able to bring our awareness fully into this beautiful being. Feel this connection. Here you are being held, being loved and supported. It's a beautiful time for us to hold this energy, to hold the connection to where we are, and open our heart first to our own beautiful being with so much love and appreciation for our abilities that we have to be here, to be present, to see, know, and perceive ourselves in this journey. Send love to all your perceptions, your sensory awareness to your mind, body, and being, no matter what state it is in. Just send love and gratitude to it. Thank you. Thank you for holding me so that I can see this life, this particular journey in this particular way. If we can come back into agreement with that, we agree that it is this journey, that is our own particular journey, doesn't have to look like anyone else's, and it will not anyway. And that there is a reason for us being in this mind, this body, in this way at this time, because there's something we must see. We see it with our eyes, we see it and feel it with our heart. We yearn for it with our soul. We are being pulled towards something that is an elevated perception. This is so that we can begin to see ourselves with the eyes of divine, the highest vibration of light and love. We imagine if we were or could be beautiful parents or grandparents, that we could look at these precious little beings that are in our lives and just love them, love them so much for their own unique ridiculousness, adore them for the expression of life. And then imagine that if you could be that kind of guardian for those that you know and love around you, imagine how softly, tenderly, and lovingly we are gazed upon Bhadavana. We are the very breath of all that is, and we are God's children. Surely, then, the eyes that look upon us are kind and gentle and loving. Just imagine that you could stand in that gaze of such deep appreciation, such astonishment and delight. For those of you who have known this in your life, you can draw upon that feeling. And for those of you who have yearned for that, draw upon that yearning because that too is a memory. You cannot yearn and long for something if you did not already have some connection to it, even if you could say in this life, your entire life, that was absent. And yet you always know that there is something else. That knowing is you as your highest being of light and love, and you know something. Look through those eyes at you, at your being, with the deepest gratitude and appreciation for the way that you show up day after day for your courage, resiliency, strength, stubbornness, whatever it is that motivates you to continue to be here. Ga upon this darling one with a sense of, gosh, isn't that amazing? If we could visualize that in the moments when you are resting, imagine as you're going to bed at night, and you close your eyes, and you imagine the divine is looking at you and saying, Hey, you darling, well done. You did really well today. I'm so proud of you. Thank you for being there and holding that space. Thank you for that one little smile that you gave to a lonely soul. Thank you for that kindness that you did. You made the world a better place because you showed up and you did something that was sweet, something that was generous, kind, or thoughtful. Thank you. And then we imagine we could close our eyes and just feel a deep sense of satisfaction that at least something in that day was of value. We might think that's totally insignificant. But truly, my lovelies, just the smallest gesture of kindness creates a ripple that is so profound. If we could start to do more and more of these more consciously, with more light and love, with authenticity, where our heart and our soul is connecting to it, not only is it a smile, but it is a beam of light energy that you're transmitting from your heart. And let's imagine now that we can do this. We can look through the eyes of all that is upon this precious darling human and feel that we can incorporate that energy into us and through us to revitalize every cell, bone, nerve, tissue, and fiber of this being. Allow yourself to be gazed upon, to receive the highest vibration of light and love. And let that be now as you rest into this moment. Drop your shoulders, smooth the skin on your beautiful face, relax. Let yourself be bathed now. Let the light of all that is pour into you, through you, around you. Imagine it moving into all the places where there might be pain in your body. Something that requires deep and profound healing, may that be now. Just bring it in, my sweetie. Just bring it in. Receive allow trust, open your heart. Allow yourself to receive this gift. I receive this beautiful gift of love and light healing now. So that I can continue to stand and be in this life, in the way that I was designed to be here. This is not just some random event. You, my lovely, were designed to be here at this time, in this way, in this form. For whatever it is that you've known, you are the perfect design to transmit the signal of that knowing. You can amplify it to deep and profound love, light, and healing if it was pain and despair. And you can amplify it again, even more when we connect to that feeling that is absolute truth. There is something in all of us, darling humans, that holds a capacity to heal and clear. It is beyond what we have yet understood. Please let us understand it now. We connect into it so that we can transmit it. Feel your heart opening for you. Imagine this in any way you can. Ripples opening in a pond, sunlight rising, warmth coming into you, a cool breeze, whatever it is, it makes you feel that there is a shift or a transition or something's opening. Ask your being to recognize that. We start to tune into our subtle connections, our subtle awareness. Something shifts the moment we shift. The moment we agree or even think about shifting, something shifts. How does that look, feel, resonate in you? How do you pick up this subtle perception? You're thinking, well, I really don't know. It's okay. You've got all these subtle connections coming in all the time. And we're so busy just managing and surviving. It becomes almost impossible then to pick up all the signals and have to process them. So this mind and body just choose the ones that are urgent and needy, that are knocking hard upon our door. The signals of pain, despair, terror, suffering, urgency, hardship, whatever that is, that's the signal that we mostly pick up immediately. It's important that we do so that we can survive. Can you sit here now? Be in the place where you are. If you are driving or working, come back to this connection and feel the quietness of being still so that you can pick up subtle connections. Just little moments and ask, and ye shall receive. Ask for this to be known to you so that you can feed it and know it, that you could love it, honor it, and then you can transmit it. The eyes of spirit are gazing upon us all the time, never looking away, watching out for us. We receive little nuances and nudges, little ideas. They are always there. We don't take them into our full awareness because we're so busy on the doing stuff, the managing of life stuff. Surely we have the capacity now, like a multifaceted diamond, to be able to pick up and connect to that which is necessary, the concrete smashing and bashing upon our perceptions. We can pick up on that, no struggle there. But at the same time, we can pick up on these subtle cues. Ask and ye shall receive. Ask for this. Please let me bring this into my awareness. And then, my lovelies, notice. Let yourself notice, look out for, anticipate, search, seek, open your eyes, your mind, your heart. Look for those signs and signals. If there is a particular signal that is memorable to you or meaningful to you in some way, I know lots of people love to find little feathers in strange and wonderful places. And they think, well, how could that possibly get there? Then let that be the signal that you ask for. If you want to feel a gentle breeze move across your face, if you want to feel a flusher in your heart, ask for what it is that you will pay attention to, that you will recognize, and in the moment of it coming in, say thank you. Thank you. Thank you for that. Thank you for the gift, that little nudge, that whisper that I could have just gone over and not noticed it. Thank you that I could see it and feel it and honor it. It is in these magnificent moments of our heightened perceptions that more information becomes available to us because we are switching on this being, opening up, polishing all those little windows, the many facets of this multidimensional being, this diamond of light and love. We're polishing up all those windows, looking through all of them now. The diamond doesn't just say, Oh no, sorry, got this one facet, that's it. That's the only one that can sparkle. Everyone else must be dull. The diamond is a diamond because all the facets capture the light. They cut in just a way to sparkle. And as we move, and as we move our hand, oh, look what my man gave me. I'm engaged. It was not diamond and sparkling, and everyone can see it, but we sort of flick our hand around so everyone can see this lovely diamond catching the light. Let yourself be moved so that you can capture the light, to get unstuck, to get out of our way, to start to express and open ourselves, expand our consciousness. All of that is letting more light in. When we do that, more light comes in, we feel more lightful, delightful, filled with the divine light. There is great comfort in it, even in the places of ridiculousness, pain, struggle, and hardship. There is a comfort that we hold something that is beyond what a human can take away from us. We could be in the darkest, deepest place of despair, and yet there is something in the human spirit that is so divine, illuminated, and awake. If we awaken it, do it now. Do this for you. This is your greatest gift that you will ever bring in. We reconnect our multi-dimensional being, multidimensional, multi-level, multifaceted processing being. Isn't it wonderful to be that? That we can do this in so many levels, so many dimensions, with so many facets of our own potential that are already in us. The moment we step out of the idea of just surviving, and we only need these windows open because these are our alarm windows, and we start to say, Well, there are others as well, then our sensory being has to start perceiving the information that's coming in in these other places as well. But if we say I'm only in survival, that my life is hard, that everything is torturous, if I say that, every bit of feeling in me is going to feel terror, hardship, pain, awfulness. It's going to amplify that because that's what you want to feel. You want to feel like you know how to be safe. You don't know what to do, you're terrified. And so your whole body's saying, Yes, we're terrified, we're listening out, we're watching out, we're being careful, and it's exhausting our bodies, it's depleting us. So we've just got to learn to do this that is coming in, that's helping us to maintain our life and manage ourselves here. We've got to do that, but we've also got to now turn on the other facets of our multidimensional being. We see ourselves through the eyes of divine, and we start to see ourselves as these beautiful beings of love and light. And those perceptions and awarenesses start to balance out these emergency signals and perceptions that are coming in that are absolutely terrorizing your mind, body, and being. Those are fine for us to be safe, but that's not the only story that we're here for. We're here for something that is so beyond, not just to survive. None of us are going to survive this life. We're all going home. But while we are here, there is something that only you in your own particular delightful being can transmit, can radiate, can heal. So you remember who you are, and you start to do that, my lovelies. This is a wonderful time for us to remember who we are, to start turning on our multifaceted being. Start by seeing yourself through the eyes of spirit. See yourself again and again and again. And when you think you know how you are in your mind and body, ask your being to stop for a moment and reassess what you know as well as this that is knocking harshly upon the door of your perceptions. What else do you know? Open those up, fine-tune them, polish them up, and watch what happens. Whole new world, my treasures. When we come into a whole new world in the wholeness of us, that truly does bring our body and our mind into a more whole, healed state. So please start to do this for you. This is your gift of awakening, my treasures. This is how we are transforming us, our own being connected in. So much love there for that. Let's take a deep breath in. And then long, slow out breath. We thank our guides for always being so close. Just let it come in, let it bathe you now, let it heal you, mind, body, and spirit. And may this transformation of your being by you, your higher self gazing upon you with so much love. May that be the greatest gift that you can bring in for you at this time. Thank you for you.
