Grace in Motion - Transformation

In this episode, Joy explores what it means to move through life with grace instead of reaction. Together, we explore the idea that emotion is simply energy in motion. Rather than becoming caught in the stories behind anger, fear, or resentment, we’re encouraged to witness these emotions with awareness, and then choose the energy we want to cultivate instead. By stepping into the "witness seat," Joy show us how we can gain the freedom to respond from love rather than habit.

Joy also teaches us how to visualise our own protective cloak, an inner space of sovereignty where our peace is no longer determined by external circumstances. Finally, we are left with the powerful reminder that the same energy used to fuel anger can be transformed into compassion, forgiveness, and lasting change.

Transformation of our energy field, wellness, and spiritual awakening. This illuminates the path to our higher consciousness, inviting us to reawaken to the truth and embrace our innate ability to transform our energy being.

I wanted us to talk about grace in motion. Oh, this is such a big, big space for us to come into. Because most of the time we don't feel very gracious. When things go wrong and things go not our way, and we're a little anxious or insecure. It doesn't feel like we have the space or the capacity to be gracious and to hold the awareness that we are being guided through this journey. That nothing is a mistake, that we are here at a perfect time for something that is unfolding. Isn't that just beautiful? So let's see how we can do this. We can hold the energy here together and just come into this beautiful space together. So when you're ready, wriggle in, get your bodies comfortable, and let's take a breath into this beautiful being. And then a long slow out breath. Relax, relax into this space, my treasures. There is something so amazing. When we find ourselves coming into spaces of light and love and grace, we're asking now that we can receive beautiful energy. That we can fill our being. As you relax your body, settle down just where you are. Feel held, feel supported, feel loved. There is something so astonishing that can happen when we come into these spaces of sweetness. When we recognize ourselves in this time and this space, soften your tummy, relax completely, and just know that we are in a space and time and we have each other. It is the most wonderful gift that we have each other. No matter where we are, no matter what we're doing and who we are and what we accomplish or not, there is a connection that we are holding. I love it that we are in this space together and we know that. We know we have a connection. Some of us is just with names, some of us we actually know each other, but we know each other's hearts, and that is pure grace, pure divine grace. When we're finished playing here, we won't have to have known each other and every story and everything. We will know each other by our hearts, our heart signature, the essence and the energy of our being. If we could ask our beings, so what is my heart space saying? What am I calling in right now into my beautiful heart? You feel that beautiful energy and ask your heart, what am I calling in right now? Let's ask that we can call into this space, the highest vibration of light and love, that we can hold this energy field, expand our own heart energy field, imagining it like a ripple opening. And into that, we welcome our guides. Come now, be close. When we allow for the space to be open in graciousness, grace, we are in that moment of grace in motion. Feel that expanding around you, that opening of the energy, and know that it is moving, and that's motion, movement. We can see it going wider and wider and more and more open. Allow yourself to feel that now. Feel the openness, the expansiveness, feel the sweetness, my treasures. How wonderful is that? This is you in your gracious being activating grace in motion. When there is movement, energy is in flow. When there is flowing energy, there is high vibration of activation. We know the exact opposite of that, don't we? When we're having a good old hissy fit, harum farah, walking around and feeling like we're not doing as well, shouting, maybe banging a few things, slamming a few doors, oh la da. Whatever we're doing, if we are creating something, some feeling with motion, with energy, we are actually creating that field. So when we are creating it consciously, in a sense of graciousness, kindness, softness, then that is very helpful to us and those around us. But when we're not doing it great, everyone feels the impact, don't they? If you've got children in the house, they probably close their ears, run out of the house, don't want to be around all that performing. If we've got a difficult situation, perhaps at work, and there's a lot of aggravation and shouting and banging fists on desks, demanding energy. If we've experienced that, then we know that energy very well, don't we? That also is energy in motion, it's moving, and you know it's moving because there is that dear heart standing over there, jumping up and down, having a jolly good wobbly. And here you are receiving it and feeling it as if you are being punched in the stomach. Any of the triggers that you have in your body are going to ignite into that as a fear or anxiety or even a terror response. And then we are on a runaway train of all kinds of despair. But my lovelies, that energy in motion is what we must get to understand. That if it can be so strong and so volatile, so known to us when it is in its extreme angry, volatile state, and you can feel how hugely charged you are, and how that charge stays for a long time. It doesn't just dissipate and go away and go like, oh, okay, now we're all great. There's a kind of a sadness or a resentment or bitterness. There's something that continues with it. It's almost like the bride going down the aisle with her long train behind her. And all the debris, all the stories, all the family history, everything is now going along with her behind her and carrying this whole thing, and it's stuck to her head or it's stuck to her shoulders. And eventually, if we have enough debris behind us, enough attachment, it's going to pull us back. That's what energy feels like. It pulls us back, it stops us from moving forward because it's got too much contamination in it. It is an actual energy field. So let us know that because we are delightful, ridiculous humans that know how to fuss and feud and have all these temper tantrums and experience them ourselves and with others. We know that well, don't we? None of us could say we've come through this life and we've just been darling all the way. We've never ever had a pouty moment. We've just been completely delightful. It's just not possible. If you do think that you've had that, then think again about the people around you. How have they been? Everyone's been delightful, little rosebuds of delight. I don't think so. I don't think so. So, what are we going to do with this energy that is in motion, that can impact us in ways that are very devastating and long-term render us immobile like a deer in the headlights, especially if there's fear. So, must be these what do we do? What do we do now? If we could know that we have this energy and we have the ability to connect to the impact, and we know how extreme and activated it is when it is on a high charge of hateful, angry, bitter, vengeful energy. But we know that there is movement in it, and we take away the label of all the hardship and the pain and all that stuff. We just take that away and we say, This is energy, it's just energy. We're not going to give it a name, but it's moving and I'm feeling it. And we don't attach to the feeling. We just say, Okay, I know it. I really know it. Now you know something. Now you really know something because it got your attention. And that is what we're doing in this life. We're trying to be in situations, and situations are coming up to get our attention so that we'll remember something. But unfortunately, when we have these impacts, we don't remember that this is energy in motion. Emotion, energy in motion. We don't realize that there is another way to activate energy. We just feel all the down energy of it, the sadness, the depression, the rejection, the horror, this misery. We just feel that story. That story is not great, but it's got information. It's informing our form. So, how about we just go immediately now and we say to our being, okay, I know that energy has a high charge of activation in it. And I know that I can hold on to it even a long time afterwards, so-called done and complete. And then I know how to hold points through however I was doing it. And I sort of say bitterness is a great one. Oh gosh, resentment, bitterness, feeling of rejection. That just holds on like one of those horrible little sticky burrs that are like velcro that you get in your sock when you go walking and it just sits there and rubs your foot until you can't bear it anymore. You're going to sit down and take everything off and find this tiny little burr. It's exactly like that. Now, let's pay attention, let's feel where that little burr, that little nasty, scrapey thing is. Let's feel where it is, but now let's not attach to it. Let's say she's this beautiful being. Okay, kitty. Here you are, and you know stuff, and you know how to feel stuff. Well done. Fabulous, you. So because you know that you know how to feel stuff, and because you know that you know that you're gonna hold on to it, you now, my lovelies, are in the witness seat of your being. You are starting to witness yourself in this life journey as this being. That's incredible. Right now, you have shifted into a new space of noticing yourself and other lives and all the beings in the space. In this moment, we get it. There is an energy that is activating, and I can activate it by clinging and connecting to it, attaching and identifying. I can perform in it and it will activate, but I actually am an incredible instrument. However, if I am going to use the magnificence of this capacity, this ability to create energy, what would I truly love to create? What is it that I could create that is so worthwhile, not just for me, but for all beings? What could I use this receptacle, this being, this vehicle for now? What could that be? What could I use this vehicle for for now? How could I show up in this being holding this space in a different way? Not the same, predictable, we know the outcome game, but in a different way. Could I just put upon this entire being a suit of armor? And I see it as a beautiful cloak, something absolutely gorgeous. You visualize it any way you like, and you put this on and just let it softly fall upon you. And now, my lovelies, you now have this cloak. If you want it to be armor, you can make it look a lot stronger. But you put something around you that feels like it connects to you in a way that reassures you that you are holding yourself as your darling human, that there is an awareness that is around you that is also holding you as your darling human. In that awareness, there's a little space, a space to consider. We start to look at the options of who we are in this life and how we want to be and show up. In this space with this armor and this protective field around us, we start to reconsider how we could use this energy that is so great in a way that it truly is great, that it expands our magnificence, it opens up beautiful energy for others, that there is a collaboration, a kindness, a consciousness, that there is harmony and peace, grace and forgiveness in it. This feel that we create around us with this cloak of sweetness, kindness, this is your authentic space. You know it is your true authentic space, your sovereign holding uniform, because your form is always seeking it. We feel so happy when things are going well, when we are being loved and adored, seen, heard, honored. We feel so filled with life. But you have that in you because that is you. That's why you're always seeking it. I tell you that every time, don't I? Eventually we'll understand how powerful just the fact of seeking something, knowing the contrast in that scenario, knowing the contrast, knowing that you have the potential to turn that dial, to turn that switch. You, my love, you have it. You are it. You don't have to become it. And the best part about this is that we can just be so beautifully honest and kind to our own being. Being here is challenging on every single level. But we are not drowning in the stories that are coming in unless we allow ourselves to just fall down in a crumpled heap and feel the story and not pick our heads up. But how about we know the story, we know the pain, we know the hardship, we know what our hearts are seeking and longing for, and we're so kind to ourselves for knowing the whole spectrum of the story. We don't just know this tiny little dot of awareness here, we know the whole spectrum. Every dear soul that has shown us something gives us another view, another point of view so that we can see, so that we can understand. We now gather this all up, bring it in to you without any shame, blame, no stories, no attitude, no history. Just bring it in. Okay, I'm aware. Great, great. Look at you. Can you just hold all the stories of your life? Feel yourself breathing and being here. You're still here. How wonderful. And everything that's happened to you and smashed and collided into you. You're still here, and you still have this divine, beautiful heart. You're still filled with grace. You have this deep longing for things to be different, pure grace. You have the light of the divine shining in and through you, pure grace. You, my lovely, are a being, a one-time beautiful being here on time at the most important time we could be here. Waking up to what it is that we can do while we're here with our energy. I know we feel hopeless and helpless in the situations that are in our life and in our countries and in the stories that are unfolding around us because everyone else is doing this and this is happening. We wish they would and wish they wouldn't, and we do all that stuff. It's absolutely a waste of time. You have the complete switch inside you. You have it, you hold it. It's not reliant or dependent upon countries, stories, leaders, guides, principles, business people, family members. It's not reliant upon any of them for you to be the magnificent being that you already are. How amazing. You, my love, are pure grace in motion. Carrying yourself through this life, being able to shop in all the places. We can swim, we can fly. Oh gosh, wouldn't that be lovely? But we can fly on machines and things like that. But gosh, wouldn't it be wonderful to fly without all that story? And just open up the energy. We know how to swim and walk and run and climb and jump and play in this space, this little capsule of earth, and be an activator of the energy everywhere we are willing to play and be, we are actually activating energy. It is our thoughts connected to our heart's desire that fill us with this grace, this energy of delight, divine light, and that is amplified. Let's do it now in the same strength as the rage and the eruptive energy. Let's do it with the same level of activation, but in compassion and love and forgiveness. Imagine that. Wouldn't that be fabulous? We can all have a good old forgiveness rant. I wonder what that would look like. Maybe someone should design that. Are you listening, Treasures? One of you, you designed a renting room that is filled with all the other things, the other aspects of pure grace in motion. Delightful. Let's just do it. Let's do something else. There's a switch in us, and we can activate it when we realize that it's there. Have you got it? Have you got the switch? Have you got the message? Are you here? Can you do this? Yes. Yes, you can. So much love there, my treasures. Let's take a deep breath in. And a long, slow outbreath. Drop, drop into this moment and just feel yourself here in a place of pure grace and love, kindness, compassion. We thank our guides for holding us so sweetly. We're so grateful at this time of earth, in this time of this journey, that we are conscious and awake. Stay awake, my lovelies. There is so much more to come. Thank you for you. So much love.
