Allowing Joyfulness Requires Safety

Allowing yourself to experience a life of joy NOW [not someday, and not after you’ve worked “hard enough”] requires a capacity to feel SAFE within yourself.

To live in joy is to live in a state of ALLOWING. ⁠ Not controlling.

So many of us actually resist living in joy because we do not feel safe enough to release control.

We believe that this, this, + this must be in place before we can relax, allow, & enjoy.

But the irony is that those outer conditions rarely bring us the joy we desire because the need for control still exists within us.

This is the meaning behind “if you can’t enjoy what you have NOW, you can’t enjoy it later”

And this is why people who think they can only take time to rest in their feminine when they complete their to do list and no longer feel stressed - will find themselves in a perpetual state of stress and doing.

The cultivation of your inner masculine (which provides safety within yourself, regardless of the extent of chaos around you), actually SUPPORTS you to live a life of joy.⁠

Because it supports you to feel safe enough to ALLOW life and thus allow joy.⁠

While the cultivation of the inner masculine is a deep journey that for many requires trauma healing, working with the nervous system, and deconstructing the personality, we can start orienting to joy NOW simply by choosing to step off the treadmill of WAITING to experience joy under the belief that it will somehow show up after we “work hard enough” or solve all the things...⁠

Life is now. Not someday.
