Spiritual Joy
'ask dorothy'
The WISDOM podcast Season 4 Episode 14
~ Spiritual joy exists when you free yourself from attachments of the past and concerns with the future – to live in the present. ~
💜
The seventh and final episode in a series on 'Happiness' & 'JOY'
Join me in this episode as I walk us through the sacred meaning of spiritual joy and share a WISDOM Note as you contemplate the practice of living in true abundant joy.
Spiritual joy – is an elevated state of consciousness that is built upon the practices of releasing the mind’s need to build and tell stories (of past or future) and to hold thoughts that are not serving to the nature of joy that you can embody.
This is a journey. It is a practice that I know you will want to embrace, for living the true meaning of joy.
The 'new joy' is spiritual abundance – the abundant nature of your life and the knowledge that all that you are is the perfection of life itself.
Spiritual joy is grace. It is the profound liberation of all suffering because the freedom of joy is in the present moment. ~ You must be here to hold witness to it.
Practical Wisdom:
Whenever you feel an absence of joy, Ask yourself: Am I living in the present?

Self-Discipline as Self-Mastery
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 86
“ Self-Discipline IS Self-Mastery. Being disciplined is how we get things done. ”
💜
Do any of your desires require greater discipline, self-control, or the fierce passion and unrelenting belief in what is wanted?
We need to remember ~ to remind ourselves that self-discipline is also a guiding approach to everything.
It is holding belief in our ability to manifest ~ to obtain or achieve something that we do not yet see or taste or touch in our material world and it is also the energy we bring to everything that determines our role in what we do and what we live.
If you are at the edge of a precipice in your life – if something is wanted and perhaps you’ve been struggling with this, whether a goal or a new habit or a different way of thinking and being and if you haven’t yet been able to get there, let’s walk through some of the ways that you can approach your desires with the inner fire of discipline.
And I’m also going to share one simple and powerful way that will help you get started ~ now.
But first....a few more questions to help you contemplate what is wanted in a very clear way.
What can you draw from that allows you to feel impassioned with life and with the aspects of your life that you wish to focus upon?
Where can you hold fierce discipline and simultaneously the benevolence (a devotion to do good and to be loving kindness) of living with your heart open to give and receive?
~ Tapas are spiritual practices that often involve a high degree of self-discipline, solitude and periods of deep meditation. ~
Because discipline works best if you are kind and patient yet firm and loving with yourself throughout the process.
What becomes for you a new and refined practice of discipline may be best practised as a spiritual discipline ~ as something that is acquired out of love and servitude to yourself for a higher goal or purpose that is beyond you ~ that is bigger than you...
and the way in which you can approach all of life then becomes a practice of grace.

What is Your Path of Joy? | A Real Life Client Story
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 36
- The beauty of joy is that it acts as a road map for the expression of happiness and the inner fulfillment that honours your heart in light of your moment by moment choices. -
💜
Timestamps:
Podcast Theme Intro: 0-1:32 | An Intro to this Episode and A Memory of 'Joy' of My Life: | What is Your Path of Joy? Question For Your Contemplation: 2:53 | My Client Sarah*: 5:04 | Sarah's Path of Joy: 6:42 | How Joy is Experienced: 9:10 | How Sarah Would Reclaim Her Path of Joy: 9:55 | The One Protocol That Will Always Illuminates Your Path of Joy: 11:32 | Podcast Theme Outro: 13:43
What is your path of joy? How is joy your inspiration; leading you on your journey through life? Where in your physical being do you feel joy? How does joy reveal itself to you?
For my client Sarah, joy became a desired longing and a precious gift the longer that she remained out of joy.
In our session, Sarah reminded herself of her path of joy – of how it felt as the energy of lightness and ease and of the happiness.
Joy is experienced in the simple and deliberate expressions of gratitude and abundance. Joy is always with you. It is easily accessible as you acknowledge its existence and as you hold a place in your heart for its infinite love in the present moment ~ and in your pure witnessing of it.
The beauty of joy is that it acts as a road map for the expression of happiness and the inner fulfillment that honours your heart in light of your moment by moment choices.
Sarah would need to be wholly honest with herself to reclaim her path of joy. You need to do the same. We all do. Joy is easily accessible. It is the acknowledgement of all that you are in appreciation of, and the kindness you hold in your thoughts and words for yourself and others.
Joy lived in Sarah’s expression of honesty and acknowledgement of what she needed to be happy.
Could you live in your expression of self-honesty? Could you follow what is truly your right path, moment by moment?
*My client’s name has been changed to maintain confidentiality.
Each Tuesday at 8pm EST, I take you on a journey - inside - what happens in a session of Life Coaching and Therapy in the 'ask dorothy' series as we answer the questions that honour your path and your life.
If you would like my help to find your path back to joy and authentic happiness, please reach out to me.
Sending you great 💜 love...
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...
Namaste!

LIVE AS LOVE. Do These 3 Things
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 12
- a heartfelt plan if you looking to reconnect with yourself, and as you grow along your spiritual path -
These three best practices are to help you begin each day in balance and on the right footing; to shift your perspective and to focus yourself on what is most important.
The beauty of each best practice whether used in conjunction with one another or unto themselves and as their inherent power will return you to your divine state – each and every time you embody these.
If you’ve been wondering how you can bring more joy, more love, more light into your life, these three best practices are the way in which you open yourself to the god source.
You open yourself to live as the divine; as the energy of pure and unconditional love; as you hold deliberate intention and as you open your heart to this.
All of us are on a spiritual path. When you merge your physical reality with your experience as a spiritual being, you embrace the wisdom of the love you hold in your heart as a metaphor for how you live.
Embody the practice of living as love.
Allow the energy of the divine – your soul consciousness – to open you to love and to being love.
And if you would like my help as you navigate this new year in your life; to find and reach your greatness, your goals, your personal triumphs.... please reach out to me. namaste! 🙏
Sending you great 💜 love...
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

If you've ever felt a looming dread on Sunday that falls upon you much like clockwork; as your mind anticipates Monday morning, the week ahead, and what you may wish you could avoid; then you likely know all too well what feels like...
TRUTH SERUM: 95% of people that experience Sunday anxiety said they believed it was due to work stress. 'That Sunday Feeling' is the culmination of anticipatory anxiety and/or a depressive mood that can be easily managed and alleviated with these 10 best practices.
A-HA MOMENTS: You are not alone in 'That Sunday Feeling' .
Use each of these 10 best practices as the cure, and as a new way of approaching life as you now know it.
PRACTICAL WISDOM: Unlock your infinite potential. Understand the source of your Sunday blues. If you feel largely unmotivated and unhappy because your work (and perhaps other aspects of your life) are unfulfilling, then I urge you to identify what is meaningful and to examine what your greater purpose is in this lifetime. In this episode I offer the strategy for how to do this so that you can live a life of purpose and meaning and without needing to uproot your life as you know it.
New research from The Sleep Judge (an organization that helps people get a good night's sleep) showed that an astonishing 81 percent of people said they experience an elevated sense of anxiety on Sunday in anticipation of the week ahead. 15 percent of people polled in the study reported feeling dread first thing Sunday morning, 29 percent in the afternoon; and the majority - 57 percent of people reported feeling especially stressed on Sunday evenings.
According to a survey conducted by the job site Monster, up to 76% of Americans self-reported having “really bad” Sunday night anxiety, compared to 47% of people throughout the rest of the world.
Releasing each episode of this podcast on Sunday evening, was a decision inspired by this real phenomena that millions of people experience every week. If you or someone you know has experienced dread, anticipatory anxiety, panic attacks, a depressed mood, and disturbed or restless sleep on Sunday; wishing that you did not have to go to school or work, and a job or career that is unfulfilling and stressful and into the grind of another week that leaves your stomach turning with nausea and anxiety; then this episode is for you.
Here I'm going to share 10 best practices for curing 'That Sunday Feeling' and I'm also going to take it one step further. If you have been struggling in your job, knowing that your current career is not for you, and you either know or are working to figure out what your ideal job looks like, let me help. A little later into the episode, I'll be sharing the 5 questions that will help you define your life's purpose and how to live this in your new career or dream job.
Take the Dharma Path Type quiz to discover your archetype and unlock your soul’s purpose - the key to living your best life.
I want you to have the practical wisdom and tools to unlock your infinite potential; and to find peace and purpose on the path to awakening your authentic power. And if this helps most on a Sunday when you may be feeling a little sad or a lot anxious about your week ahead; then herein is a proposed cure. Please, allow the wisdom within each of these episodes into your heart; allow these offerings of truth to be your guide and inspiration for living a consciously-driven life, for encouraging you to live as your authentic self; and of course to use the practical tools and teachings; guiding principles and best strategies to be the new and enlightened way in which you live.
'That Sunday Feeling' can be described as an internal smoke alarm. It is meant to draw your attention to what is not quite right; of what you may be unsatisfied or unhappy with; and the low levels of sadness or despair that you feel. That gnawing feeling is a reminder for you to take action towards the change you want; even if this may seem difficult, or impossible.
'That Sunday Feeling' may highlight the jarring truth that perhaps you have not made the most of your weekend; of planning and doing what nourishes you, including what chores and household tasks are needed to help you to feel positive about being productive and organized so that you will have things in place for the week ahead. For students dreading a return to class on Monday, perhaps you've left your homework in a pile on your desk all weekend, and now your Sunday is consumed with cramming in what you've often told yourself you should have started on Saturday morning.
'That Sunday Feeling' could also be because you have to face a teacher who is unkind or unfair; or peers who bully. Perhaps you feel like an outsider in your peer group. I also work with teens who feel the anxiety and dread every Sunday evening, but also on most mornings, because of the uncomfortable and unpleasant environment which can affect their ability to study and focus.
Click to Tweet!
Life hacking your Sunday blues begins with recognizing when you feel worry and dread about the week ahead whilst it is still the weekend. Let these 10 best practices tame the ruminating thoughts that are spinning in your mind, causing you to feel anticipatory anxiety about Monday and the upcoming week.
Take the Dharma Path Type quiz to discover your archetype and unlock your soul’s purpose - the key to living your best life.
My hope is that you experience the feeling of expansion and freedom that comes with enjoying Sunday as an incredible day in which you may look forward to, in part because you have made the space and time for yourself to do what you love. Maybe you've now decided that it's time to look forward to and feel good about every day of your life because this is how you live life to the fullest. Please use these 10 success strategies not only for curing 'That Sunday Feeling' but as 10 best practices for living empowered and of your highest self.
