#1 Welcome to 2019: A Year for Diving into Bliss

The Outer Reaches of Inner Joy

A suggestion for Month One,
The Month for Joyful Sourcing and Re-sourcing
January 1 – February 9

Bliss

as we dive for it, this year is an ebullient state:

• Mindful,

• Active,

• Spacious,

• Compassionate,

• Untamable,

• Fiercely Alive,

• And completely embodied.

This first month for Sourcing and Re-sourcing provides time to focus on the attributes of Bliss and to practice recognizing how completely they come to dwell inside of us – in our bodies and our imaginings.

Every day brings us news and evidence that inexhaustibly delicious sources of joy surround us and delight in filling us over and over. We can claim an inheritance made of every kind of joy, no matter what else may be happening around us.

This Bliss is not mindless – but mindful.

Yes, it brings peacefulness, and it incites action.

It is composed of unimaginably vast spaciousness.

This Bliss is not selfish, but compassionate and passionately engaged.

It cannot be contained or captured; it seeks expression through love and artful living.

It carries exquisite aliveness.

When we recognize this Bliss presence and invite its full embrace, then our bodies, souls, minds, and spirits awaken to new purpose, dignity, usefulness, and service.

I invite you to In-Joy this month of Sourcing and Re-sourcing so wildly that you become a force field for this kind of Bliss.

Ancient masters remind us:

From joy all beings have come.

In joy all beings are sustained.

To joy all beings return.

This is the highest teaching.

This is the highest teaching.

—The Upanishads

Joy in the World. Bliss in the World. And in me.
