Joy and Love In Each Moment - Ready Or Not

An injury or illness takes away your life as you knew it.  When the crisis is over and the healing begins do you wait until you are all better, the you who you were once upon a time? OR do you jump in, as soon as a spark ignites the old you and as you share and put yourself out there - even if less than perfect - you discover your healing has accelerated and your former self is returning bit by bit. Only this time - you are actually better than before.

Rev. Ali Bierman is on such a path. Once known as the Minstrel Minister, a nasty health challenge took away that life. For more than a  year she has pushed herself to sing again, to write music again and now, finally, to play guitar and sing her songs again.

Realizing she is not up to par, still she decided to share her journey and her progress. She hopes to inspire others to step up their game and move past whatever holds them back from the sheer joy of life.

She shares her song to clarify what joy and love for all people can truly be and why, at this time in a rocky divided world, feeling and connecting as one people can make the difference we all want to see.

She carefuly details how to bypass the ego mind and connect heart-to-heart across the miles. For even if the person with whom you wish to connect lives on the other side of the world, given that distance is only a manmade construct and is not real, you can instantly connect. You will feel an energy that you know is not yours  the moment the connection happens.

Love and joy connects people. In the absence of either there is hatred and prejudice.

Leave a comment to tell us how you define love, happiness, and joy for. you. Then go tell your partner, your friends, your kids, and your parents AND ask them how they define love, happiness, and joy for themselves.

Transcript

Welcome to Let's Get Metaphysical, the show that stretches you beyond your five senses.
When you are looking for your next step on the path into the unseen, we've got you covered.
Join Epic Adventure Seekers and level up your game with your host, reality magician, Ali Bierman

What you are about to see is me being very, very excited about singing and playing a guitar, which is something I used to do all my life since I was eight years old. Well, the
guitar didn't start until 12. But the point is my voice, it isn't back 100% and my fingers
are just getting back into guitar playing. And it's probably been 15, 20 years since
I played on a classical guitar because I've been playing electric.
What you're about to see is a lesson I wanted to share with you. It's okay that I'm not perfect. And you know what? It's okay for you to share aspects of you, even if they're not as perfect as they used to be, as you'd like them to be. Because the only way to get back to that point is doing them.

A song that I'm sharing with you here, it's not a funny thing, though my kids
always liked it when they were little. My daughter even used it when she was young, for
an audition piece. But as you'll see in my speaking about the song, it's a really important
lesson for our times today. And I thank you for continuing to watch. It's a short lesson,
but I can't really think of anything more powerful for us to be doing right now.

Hippopotamus. Why do they have to raise such a fuss when you get on a bus. YOu know where you're going. You know your way. You always have exact fare to pay. You're polite and stay out of everyone's way.

Oh Hippopotamus. Why do they have to raise such a fuss
When you go into a store, why don't they make more in your size?
When are they going to realize in that gray plaid suit
Maybe I was so very keen you'd be oh so very cute. Does it come in size 24 plus 100 more?

Oh Hippopotamus. Why do they have to raise such a fuss
Did you ever notice that every pool seems to have a rule that hippos cannot use the high dive
between the hours of three and five?
Oh, Hippo, why do they give you all that jive?

Oh hippopotamus. You're no blunderbuss so why can't they sit down and discuss not your negatives but your pluses?

They are sure to see that you're as innocent as can be, in fact you're absolutely fabulous!Oh Hippopotamus, YOu're absolutely fabulous!
TaDa!

People are just people. Big people, little people, Polkadot, striped, young, old people.
And no one person is better or less than another person. WE are all here to live in love
and joy, and those are the two highest frequencies. And that's how you know that's why we're here!
And that's why we're pursuing love and joy. And how do you allow that in?
Well, you're going to start with loving you first because if you don't love you, first, why
Would anybody else want to love you? Or feel an energy drawing them to you?

Joy, that's something that comes from within for you because what joy is for me is going to be different for you. Now, that can be a sore point in relationships: parent to child, spouse to spouse, friend to friend, child to parent. Because we each define happiness, we each define joy differently. What feels good and makes me happy, and therefore, I assume the same things feel good and make you happy. Boy, I could be way out of sync with you and then you don't see any way that I'm making you happy or any way that you're feeling loved by me. And the reverse is going to be true.

So what can you do about it?
What you can do about it is quite simple
Quite obvious, what do you think you can do about it?
I can't hear you
You're need to speak louder.
Oh wait, I guess you can't because this ia a video. What you're going to do is go down below
and respond to me and tell me how you define love, how you define happiness, how you define joy for you.

And even more important than telling us, tell your spouse, tell your parents, tell your friends
Tell your kids because people who care about you, people who are in your world, people who are attracted to you, they want to be part of what makes you happy as they want you to be part of what makes them happy.
.
You know, I always talk about the invisible forces that are driving us
Those invisible forces are what's in our hearts and going out to the world and causing us to behave a certain way
And maybe it's a way that's welcome that makes sense to others.
But maybe it isn't.

So stop trying to figure it out, up in your head in your ego mind
because that's never going to work.
Tune into your heart and allow your heart to connect,
invisible forces to connect with the people who are important to you.
Just do one at a time, one person at a time.

When you allow yourself to shut out all the stuff in your environment,
I recommend closing your eyes, it will make it a whole lot easier
to just tune in to what you're feeling, to what you're noticing,
that you're going to recognize in a minute
Or two minutes or three minutes or five minutes,
You're going to recognize, "hey, this isn't me."
This is Joan over there, or this is Bob
Oh, and Bob is 3,000 miles away from me.
But there's no such thing, not in reality as distance or time.
So you're tuning in to your friend who lives on the other side of the world!
You know, if you went by jet it would still take you 24 hours to get there.
But not when you're connecting, heart to heart.

I thank you so much for joining us here today

You're here and you're listening

Nobody can tell you what's in your heart.
So when you go into the Facebook group look for a friend who's on the same journey as you
because that's who listens.

And going over to our website where you can listen to or watch any episode.

You know, when you join our community you get to be one of the Epic Adventure Seekers and you support the show so I can keep bringing it to you because it's a priority in my life
to spread clarity for people on their spiritual paths because it's defined by lov and joy.
And when you apply love, and joy in your life, everywhere in your life, the world is going to look so different. The people and the adventures - the kind of adventures that you attract into your world - You're going to change.

I think next time I'll be talking to you about 10x
What the heck is 10x?
Well, I'm definitely going to talk to you next time
Because you have a choice every day with your life
You can waste a day away
Or youcan shoot to do more than you imagined you could get done in a day.
I know, I do every day. So I feel really good, also usually feel pretty tired when I get in there to get to sleep at night
How about you?

I recommend The 10x rule. It's very clearly written.
There are many books written with that title
That one speaks to me in a languageI can really put together.
And I'm definitely going to talk to you about his ideas because some of his ideas are
are different angles of what I share with you. So I want to share why
mine are different from what he's talking about. I think it leads to the same outcome.

Remember to InJoy
That's capital I n
Capital J.O.y. Every moment
Cause nothing in your life
Is experienced outside
Of you and all that happens
Within.

I look forward to being here with you
