Playfulness

Today we are reminded of the tremendous benefits of allowing ourselves to be playful. In fact, playfulness is absolutely essential to creating more joy in our lives and living in the higher vibrational state of joy.

When we are playful, we reconnect with our innocence. This innocence is wise and deeply knowing. We each enter this world deeply connected to this wisdom and to our divine essence.

As we grow up, however, we learn from others around us and often lose touch with our innocence. Instead, we embody the fears and stories of our families, friends, and the collective. As part of this, we also often lose touch with our intuition.

Today, we are invited to re-establish the connection with our innocence and our inner intuitive nature.

The easiest way to begin to do this is through laughter. Laughter opens the heart - in fact, it bursts open the heart. Laughter is so powerful that it creates a higher vibrational resonance in each one of your individual cells. Because each cell is conscious, this can even lead to deep and profound healings.

Some of us find it challenging to laugh - we weren’t allowed to, we were judged, we judged ourselves, we decided life was just too hard, we couldn’t give ourselves permission, we just felt silly, etc.

Fortunately, laughter is effective even if it is initially forced because the body does not know the difference and responds anyway. With practice, laughter will become natural and enjoyable - and infectious to those around you.

Try it and you will find that laughter is more powerful than you can currently imagine.

How can you add more playfulness, laughter, and joy into your day today? What do you notice when you do? Do you find more inspiration, more peace, and/or more ease?
