Jackie Shannon’s famous 1965 song proclaims that “What the world needs now is love.” While I agree, I would also like to add that the world could use the magic of amusement.
With so many scary and intense things happening, we can get stuck in seriousness and survival mode. But amusement as a vibration lightens us up and allows for us to connect to our creativity and intuition. Amusement encourages us to let go of our assumptions, collaborate with others, and imagine new possibilities. This doesn’t mean that we spiritually bypass ourselves into ignoring the bad things. Rather, it gives us permission to energetically un-match ourselves from the chaos.
Would you like to explore the energy of amusement for yourself? Try this brief meditation: Take a deep breath and close your eyes. Allow your body relax as much as possible and allow your mind to clear. With your eyes still closed, imagine a bubble (or other symbol) in front of you that represents amusement. Notice what color it is. Feel free to change the bubble’s shape and color. You can even blow it up and start over. When this is done, imagine bringing that bubble into the top of your head, filling you up with amusement. Notice if you feel any shifts. Do you feel lighter, more effervescent? When you’re ready, you can open your eyes and come out of meditation.
My monthly Intuitive Yoga class has been a space for me to bring more amusement into my own yoga practice and teaching. May marks one year of teaching this style of yoga and it’s been so much fun! I hope you’ll join me on May 4th at 10am PT/1pm ET on Zoom. The theme is playing with back bends! More info below.
