discovered something very profound this week: I have fallen in love with myself, all over again. I was blogging and marketing for my new self-help guide, and an overwhelming feeling of love began to fill my body. I had finally kept a promise to myself by finishing my book, so I could have this moment to market it! I felt love for myself, something I had not felt in a long time. </h4><p>Confidence has slowly been growing around my work, and boom, I had this epiphany: I knew what my life had been missing, and I started to cry because it was love for myself. Because I was saying yes to myself instead of no, and accomplishing my goals and finishing it feels magnificent.</p><p> So we are building a theme this week, and for this month, about self-love. To accomplish this, we are going to change our inner dialogue and how we talk to ourselves.

Moon, the call is not to rush, force, or escape yourself. The call is to return. To return to the body as sacred ground. To remember that healing is a cultivation of many methods and helping hands with love. </p><p>Taurus reminds us that the Earth does not bloom overnight. Roots strengthen quietly beneath the surface before anything visible appears. This moon asks you to take a steady and unwavering stand for your health, your nervous system, your nourishment, your rest, and your connection to what is real.</p><p>This is a powerful time to gather people around the table again. To create circles rooted in food, honesty, breath, touch, prayer, gardening, cleansing, and restoration. Community becomes medicine now. The &#8220;Earth Body&#8221; is awakening, people longing to reconnect with their original rhythm before overstimulation, exhaustion, processed living, and disconnection pulled them away from themselves.</p><p>The Taurus Moon encourages slow rituals:</p><ul><li><p>warm herbal teas</p></li><li><p>nourishing blessing bowls</p></li><li><p>feet on the soil</p></li><li><p>music in the kitchen</p></li><li><p>deep breathing at sunrise</p></li><li><p>hands preparing food with intention</p></li><li><p>conversations that soften isolation</p></li><li><p>financial and emotional security</p></li></ul><p>Your power now comes not from domination, but from grounded consistency. From becoming a calm and steady force that others can lean into. Taurus teaches that the body thrives through rhythm, beauty, nourishment, and repetition.</p><p>The message of this moon is clear:</p><p><strong>Heal the body gently.<br>Gather the people softly.<br>Return to the Earth honestly.</strong></p><p>A movement is forming around those who are ready to reclaim wholeness through connection. The original force within humanity is not gone; it is simply waiting beneath the noise, like seeds beneath winter soil.</p><p>This Taurus Moon says:<br>Slow down enough to hear yourself again.</p><div

The second book is a longer and deeper process of cleansing and renewal.</p><blockquote><p>Our cleansing fast books are: Six Dimensional Holistic Life Manuals, showing a person how to take care of themselves in our Six-Dimensional, holistic approach. Our Somatic healing method and practice is through:</p></blockquote><ul><li><p> Herbal plant medicine,</p></li><li><p> Daily spa ritual practices</p></li><li><p> Yoga &amp; movement</p></li><li><p> Nutrition</p></li><li><p> Four elements integration</p></li><li><p> A connection to the spiritual earth body.</p></li></ul><blockquote><p>We are building something distinctive that stands out from other fasting methods, that&#8217;s grounded to the earth and feels restorative, intelligent, calming, and experientially connected to spirit.</p></blockquote><div

bring the teachings into lived and collective practice.</p><p>The June Reunification Series was created as an experiential companion to the Three-Day Cleansing Fast and the larger Sanctuary Flow method, providing participants an opportunity to move beyond simply reading the material and into practicing it within a supportive community.</p><p>Together, we will explore nourishment, somatic awareness, cleansing rhythms, nervous system restoration, herbal support, ritual care, journaling, reflection, and collective healing practices in a calm and intentionally curated setting.</p><p>This four-week gathering is designed for individuals seeking a deeper relationship with the body and a more grounded, restorative way of living.</p><p>As the books themselves focus on returning to wholeness through nourishment, awareness, ritual, and rhythm, the workshops serve as a living extension of that philosophy, allowing participants to experience the work together through conversation, observation, movement, nourishment, and shared practice.</p><p>The June Reunification Series<br>Beginning June 2026</p><p>Investment: $120 per person<br>Limited to 7 participants</p><p>Includes:<br>&#8226; Four guided Saturday gatherings<br>&#8226; Three-Day Cleansing Fast introduction<br>&#8226; Somatic and nervous system support practices<br>&#8226; Herbal and ritual education<br>&#8226; Journaling and reflection guidance<br>&#8226; Weekly GLP-1&#8211;inspired Nourishing Blessing Bowl lunches<br>&#8226; Collective discussion and supportive

The body speaks through sensation, breath, and awareness. Beyond this point, we move into practice.</h4>

and the first signs of spring begin to appear. Many traditions encourage a period of cleansing and renewal. March is a natural moment to clear away what has accumulated physically, mentally, and spiritually, as well as the garbage.</p><p>In Sanctuary Flow, we begin this season with a 3-day Cleansing Fast, a gentle introduction designed to prepare the body for the deeper<strong> 7-Day Cleansing Fast.</strong> Rather than an extreme detox, this three-day period focuses on nourishing the body with clean, plant-based foods and liquids that allow the digestive system to rest.</p><p><strong>The Four Pillars of the Sanctuary flow Cleansing Practice</strong></p><ol><li><p><strong>Nourish yourself first</strong></p></li></ol><p>Begin the day by caring for the body before asking it to perform. Hydrating with fruit and whole foods stabilizes the nervous system after an overnight fast. Nourishment comes first in the morning, before stimulants like coffee can be enjoyed later without stress on the body.</p><ol start="2"><li><p><strong>Gentle awakening of the body</strong></p></li></ol><p>The body thrives when it transitions gradually from rest to activity. Gentle stretching, breathwork, walking, or simple movement helps circulation and signals the body that it is safe to relax. Even five minutes of mindful movement can reset the tone for the  day.</p><p>  <strong>3. Clean Fuel, Simple Foods</strong></p><p>The foundation of cleansing is not deprivation but simplicity. Natural foods, fruits. Vegetables, herbs, nuts, seeds, and broths are easier to digest while nourishing the microbiome. Simple, unprocessed foods give the body space to clear what is no longer needed.</p><p>  <strong>4. Rest and Renewal</strong></p><p>The cleaning happens during rest. When the body is not constantly digesting heavy foods or responding to stress, it shifts into repair mode. Adequate sleep, calm environments, and movement, quiet reflection allow the body to renew.</p><p><strong>The Three- Day Cleansing Fast Overview</strong></p><div

For much of my life, I&#8217;ve lived between two worlds, my Christian faith and my yoga practice. One taught me devotion, surrender, and trust in God. The Other taught me breath, presence, and unity with God. </p><p>For a long time, I felt like I had to choose between them, as if faith lived in one place and the body lived in another. But over time, especially through seasons of caregiving and loss, I began to realize something: Both were teaching me the same thing, how to stay connected to God while navigating life. </p><p>The word yoga means union. And the Gospel, at its heart, is also about union, our relationship with God, with life, and with one another.  Jesus tells us that he came so that we might have life and have it more abundantly. Yet abundance doesn&#8217;t always arrive with ease. Often it arrives as the strength to keep going. And when I was caregiving for my parents, there were moments when I felt like I was behind in life, as if everything else had stopped while the world kept moving forward. </p><p>But in those years, something else was growing. I was learning how to stay present, how to breathe through uncertainty, and how to trust that even in adversity God was still at work.  My experience reshaped how I understand prosperity, not as something  accumulated, but as something we practice. And it became my Seminary training.</p><p>In this essay, I want to reflect on the balance between faith and body, surrender and movement (Trust in Action). Just a conversation about how we stay afloat, remain open, and recognize opportunity even when life feels heavy. Let's begin there.</p><h2>Poverty Mindset vs. Gospel Mindset</h2><p>When we hear the word prosperity, many people immediately feel discomfort. For some, it sounds like excess. For others, it feels like pressure; we&#8217;re supposed to be doing more, achieving more, having more, moving faster. But what I&#8217;ve come to understand is that much of our struggle doesn&#8217;t come from lack; It comes from the story we tell ourselves about where we should be. A poverty mindset doesn&#8217;t always mean not having money. It sounds more like this:</p><p>I&#8217;m behind</p><p>I should be further along</p><p>Everyone else seems ahead of me.</p><p>I&#8217;m late to my own life.</p><p>This voice creates urgency, and urgency tightens the body. It pulls us out of presence and into comparison. While the prosperity Gospel offers a very different mindset to poverty, it sounds more like this: Not one of pressure, not of deprivation, but one of arrival. </p><p>The gospel mindset says:</p><p>I am here </p><p>I am present</p><p>I am faithful with what I&#8217;m carrying</p><p>I am moving, and movement itself, even a small movement, is prosperity.</p><p>In the Hebrew scriptures, there is a word often used in relation to blessing and success. The word is Tsalach; it doesn&#8217;t mean wealth. Instead, in the biblical Hebrew imagination, Tsalach implies the sense of something moving through resistance and still arriving at its intended destination. </p><p>Think:</p><ul><li><p>water finding its way through rock</p></li><li><p>a seed pushing through soil</p></li><li><p>wind filling sails</p></li><li><p>a person moving with divine backing</p></li></ul><p>Prosperity here is flow, force, and direction, not just wealth. It means to advance to move forward, to make progress, even if it&#8217;s crawling. Even resting can be progress when it restores the body. Even showing up tired is still a step in the right direction. From this perspective, prosperity isn&#8217;t something we chase; it&#8217;s something we practice.</p><p>One of the quiet teachings in Yoga and sanctuary flow, an embodied practice, is this: There is no there, there, wherever you are, there you are. This is the life you are living,  what you&#8217;re carrying, and who you are right now. </p><p>Prosperity doesn&#8217;t begin somewhere ahead of you; it's here. Not by comparing your life to someoneelse&#8217;s, not by measuring how fast others seem to be moving, but by asking a gentler question: </p><p>How am I with what I&#8217;m carrying? </p><p>How am I meeting my life as it actually is?</p><p>When we stop looking outward for proof that we&#8217;re doing well, something settles, and a different question begins to emerge: </p><p>How do I create prosperity as a practice right here, in this life, with these circumstances, at this pace? The question doesn&#8217;t rush us; it grounds us with possibility. Because prosperity, in this way, isn&#8217;t something we arrive at. It&#8217;s something we learn in living.</p><h2>The Yoga of Prosperity Breath and Awareness</h2><p>The word yoga is often misunderstood. At its root, it means union and connection, and when I began to look more closely, I realized that the Gospel speaks about this kind of union constantly in our relationship with God.  Prosperity is awareness, not something external. It&#8217;s something we experience internally in how we respond to adversity, and how we breathe, and move through it when life shifts.</p><p>One of the clearest images of this in scripture is the Ark. The ark was not built to stop the storm. It wasn't designed to control the waters. It was built to float. When the flood came, adversity rose, but the ark stayed buoyant. Not because the water was calm, but because it was designed to float.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

God did not remove the storm, but he provided buoyancy and adaptability. And here is where the Yoga (union) is felt in the body, breath, and stillness, noticing the waves of emotion and how the breath has a calming effect; this is the Holy Spirit letting us know it is with us, giving us buoyancy, floating us through the storm.</p><p>When life suddenly changes, the instinct is panic, to tighten, to brace, and hold our breath. But the practice of union invites something else:</p><p>Awareness</p><p>We breathe</p><p>We soften. </p><p>We stay present. </p><p> This is the Yoga of Prosperity, not stretching or postures, but the practice of staying connected to God while life is happening. Instead of fear, we remain available.  Our availability allows us to recognize that opportunity often follows adversity, not because it is good, but because the awareness keeps us open, soft, buoyant while it&#8217;s happening. It&#8217;s teaching us how to stay afloat.  </p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://simonemylesyoung.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="/__u/simonemylesyoung.substack.com/subscribe"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><p>The Body Wisdom of Prosperity&#8230;&#8230;.

PERFECTLY with Daniel&#8217;s Pulse traditions and Sanctuary Flow ethos of simplicity, elemental nourishment, and sacred Earth wisdom.&#8221; </h2><p>Below is the full nutritional rundown, clarified and accurate, followed by 2 recipe ideas for each seed, including the Super Seed Bar that blends all five seeds.</p><h4><strong>What Is Sarcopenia?</strong></h4><p>Sarcopenia is the age-related loss of muscle mass, strength, and functional capacity.</p><p>It typically begins around age 40 and accelerates after age 50&#8211;60.</p><h4><strong>In One Sentence</strong></h4><h4>Sarcopenia is age-related muscle loss, and my seed-based, pulse-rich, slow-carb, plant-forward protocol is exactly the nutritional antidote&#8212;scientifically, biblically, and spiritually.</h4><div

Astrologically, a supermoon is often viewed as a turning point, where emotions intensify, clarity emerges, and boundaries become clear, like lines in the sand.  The release of stuff becomes potent. Shifting is happening, and we are being asked to take on more than we ever have. October&#8217;s harvest moon and the equinox shift mark the season when light and shadow meet in Divine Will fusion. A term that explores the idea of Heaven on Earth. It&#8217;s the time when the inner well begins to flow, the living water flushes out all impurities, and our consciousness collides with the heavenly realm.</p><p>&#8220;Make no excuses, the heart has to be willing; otherwise, one is being a charade or a fake. The authenticity is found in the spirit of truth, which can only come from the Holy Spirit. The Super Moon illuminates the shadow side, shedding light on old wounds and patterns, bringing truth to light.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://simonemylesyoung.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">This Substack is reader-supported.

We will walk in the rhythm of heaven and earth together.</p><p>Aries&#8217; energy is direct, bold, and action-oriented. This full moon lends itself well to clearing old patterns, claiming what matters, and stepping into the next chapter with fresh force and conviction.</p><p>Let the living water flow (Holy Spirit), and the fire of conviction burn through any doubt; it&#8217;s not about guilt or hardness, it&#8217;s about clarity that comes when divine light touches our soul. It&#8217;s God&#8217;s will revealing itself inside the soul like moonlight on water, saying, &#8220;Let&#8217;s begin again in truth.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a

southern Italy, a humble woman named <strong>Luisa (Eloise) Piccarreta</strong> began recording mystical conversations she believed came from Jesus. Over decades, her notebooks grew into <strong>thirty-six volumes</strong>, <em>The Book of Heaven and<br></em> In them, Christ explains that humanity&#8217;s highest calling is not only to <em>do</em> God&#8217;s will but to live inside it, and to let divine life move through every breath, thought, and act. Luisa calls this living current, &#8220;<em>The Divine Will&#8221;.</em> It isn&#8217;t a new religion but a deep interior practice: surrendering self-will so that God&#8217;s own Will flows through the human person as naturally as water through a spring.</p><p>From these writings, three simple principles emerge:</p><p><strong>Fiat</strong> &#8211; a total yes: <em>&#8220;Let it be done.&#8221;<br></em><strong>Fusion</strong> &#8211; uniting one&#8217;s will with God&#8217;s until they move as one.<br><strong>Divine Acts</strong> &#8211; ordinary actions offered in that union so that heaven and earth meet through them.</p><ol><li><p><strong>How These Teachings Shape Earthwalk Almanac</strong></p></li></ol><p>In <strong>Earthwalk</strong>, Simone Myles-Young draws on this same vision, translating it into the language of seasons, herbs, and daily rhythm.<br> Each month&#8217;s theme becomes a way of <em>living the Divine Will on earth, an <strong>Earthwalk</strong></em><strong> </strong>honoring creation, body, and spirit as one continuous act of divine life. The meditations, moon reflections, and herb guides are written in collaboration with sacred study, prayer, and the reflective dialogue created through the Holy Spirit, some AI used here as a contemplative partner and scribe.</p><p>Readers who wish to explore the source of the Doctrine through <strong>Luisa (Eloise) Piccarreta</strong>, and her other writings on the divine will, can visit: https://tinyurl.com/2dveu2tk</p><h3><strong> Herb of the Month</strong></h3><p><strong>Sage:</strong> (Salvia Officinalis)</p><p><strong>Symbolism:</strong> wisdom, purification, clear seeing, spiritual protection.</p><p><strong>Physical Uses: </strong>digestive aid, supports the throat and voice (perfect for speaking your truth).</p><p><strong>Energetic Purpose:</strong> clears stagnation ( the old waters) and makes way for the new living water of divine flow.</p><p><strong>Ritual Use: </strong>Burn a single sage leaf or make sage tea while meditating on Jesus&#8217; words:</p><p>&#8220;The water I give shall become a spring within you.&#8221; As the stream rises, visualize conviction as light, as a burden, but purification.</p><h3>Hot Topic: Integration ~ Living Heaven on Earth</h3><p><strong>Tie the Supermoon&#8217;s celestial pull and God&#8217;s Divine Will integration together.</strong></p><ul><li><p>The world is full of &#8220;outer doing. &#8220;Divine will calls for inner fusion</p></li><li><p>Integration means letting body, mind, and soul live in one current of divine intention.</p></li><li><p>In a practical sense, every act of daily life this month ( eating, walking, working ) becomes a chance to ask, &#8220; Am I flowing with the Divine Will or resisting it?</p></li><li><p>Practice: each morning upon waking, say: Fiat, Lord, let conviction become clarity, and let clarity become love in action.&#8221;</p></li></ul><h3><strong>Moon Elemental Reflection -</strong></h3><ul><li><p>Element: Water &#8230;. flowing conviction</p></li><li><p>Super Moon message: What has been hidden in shadow is illuminated.</p></li><li><p>Integration Practice: Take a moonlit walk or sit outside near water, repeating your breath mantra: &#8220; The breath I breathe is the essence of God. He and I are one.</p></li><li><p>Let the night air integrate with your prayer.</p></li></ul><h3><strong>Living the Divine Will through Conviction:</strong></h3><ul><li><p>Conviction of the divine will aligns with Spiritual Awakening.</p></li><li><p>It is a covenant with peace and truth, and your divine essence.</p></li><li><p>We learn to correct the humanly manifested ego, misconstrued by false awareness and teaching.</p></li><li><p>We are back to<strong> loving awareness </strong>that guides us when we drift off into our own will.</p></li></ul><h3><strong>Divine Summary:</strong></h3><p>Conviction is not punitive; it is revelatory, it is the spirit&#8217;s way of affirming truth, aligning Divine Will and restorative flow. Conviction is simply God&#8217;s clarity shining through the waters of the soul.</p><p>Let the flow be with you</p><p>Simone</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://simonemylesyoung.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">This Substack is reader-supported.

</h2><p>My sister and I were reminiscing about the fact that my father never thought about death, or passing or even talked about it. We were having a chuckle when my sister said:  Grandma Sadie, who had passed sometime ago, probably said, &#8220;Willis Glenn, it&#8217;s time to come home now, boy&#8221; and  like a little boy kicking his last tin can, with his friends, as the sun grew dim in the sky, said, &#8220;Ok Momma, I&#8217;m comin&#8217;. Even that little thought gave me some reassurance that my father would probably be received by his ancestors. And we don&#8217;t die, we go to another space in time.</p><h1>Portal into the spirit world</h1><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"

Is it a mythological space, only spoken about in folklore, stories, and movies? And we have no experience of having done it until it happens. That&#8217;s what makes it a paradox, something certain but highly unknown. We know death will come eventually and seize us. The unpredictability gives death its weight and mystery.</p><p> And yet in the face of uncertainty, there is guidance. I hope for those who believe in the Holy Spirit who comes and guides us home. Or your mother, father, or loved one who has passed on comes to get you. He, she, they act as companions through this portal, if you believe and are tuned into the spirit comforter, who promises, like in the Holy Book, that death is not an ending, but a doorway into a new life. This transforms death from something that seizes us into something that receives us.</p><p>My Dad passed away, and if ever I wanted to believe in the beyond, it was when he left. I so wanted all of his friends and family to be waiting for him there at the door to take him into the light.</p><p>But I must tell you the truth, Dad thought God was an alien, so it&#8217;s a disruptor to think of heaven in the normal sense, with angels and clouds, big golden gates swinging open when you arrive, but as a big spaceship, you climb on and get whisked off to another galaxy. Honestly, I really never heard my father talk about death or where he would go after, because I believe he thought he would never die. There you have it, &#8220;There is No Death&#8221;</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

work into your life this month with boundary awareness and healing practices. Gravitate towards a healing modality that resonates with a relaxed constitution, like breath-work, meditation, and yoga. Try journaling your feelings and paying attention to subtle changes in them.</p><p>Start with a box breathing exercise to calm the nerves and center the vagus nerve. (Symptoms and problems with the vagus nerve are diverse and include&nbsp;<strong>digestive issues like bloating or trouble swallowing, changes in heart rate such as slow or rapid beats, ongoing fatigue or brain fog, mood shifts like anxiety, voice changes, and persistent dizziness or fainting spells</strong>.&nbsp;</p><h3><strong>Simple Practice For Regulating The Vagus Nerve </strong></h3><p>Imagine sitting beneath a tree on a crisp autumn afternoon. You place one hand on your heart, the other on your belly. You take a slow breath in through your nose, letting your belly rise like a leaf floating upward. You exhale with a soft sigh, as if releasing the leaf back to the earth.</p><p> This small act, slow, rhythmic breathing with sound, try humming as you release the breath, it s one of the simplest way to stimulate the vagus nerve. The vagus nerve runs from the brain down into the belly, and it responds to breath, hums, gentile chanting, laughter and even splashing your face with cool water. Each of these signals tells your nurvous system: You are safe now. It&#8217;s okay to rest, it&#8217;s ok to heal.</p><p>By returning to breath and sounds, even for a few minutes, you awaken the body&#8217;s natural pathway of peace, and invite balance back into your mind and spirit</p><p></p><h3><strong>Mugwort</strong> ( Artemisia vulgaris) Dream Work Allie.</h3><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"

Is it a mythological space, only spoken about  in folklore, stories, and movies? And we have no experience of having done it until it happens. That&#8217;s what makes it a paradox, something certain  but highly unknown. We know death will come eventually and seize us. The unpredictability gives death its weight and mystery. </p><p>And yet even in the face of uncertainty, there is Guidance for those who believe that the holy Spirit becomes the guide. He, She, They act as companions through this passage, if you believe, and are tuned in to Spirit, a comforter who promises in the Holy Book, that death is not an ending but a doorway into a new life. This transforms death from something that will seize us into something that receives us. </p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://simonemylesyoung.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">This Substack is reader-supported.

Still, even if the landscape of childhood was rocky, there are usually brief and profound moments of joy that shape our essence of who we are before the trauma came, and can still exist after trauma. </p><p> For me, that moment was riding in a barrel race at El Rancho Navarro. My precious mother, with all her determination and love, worked hard to save enough money to send us to camp. She secured our names into our clothes and managed to secure a partial scholarship each year to help cover the remaining camp cost. </p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://simonemylesyoung.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">This Substack is reader-supported.

My joy was waking up early, pulling on my boots, and walking down to care for the horses. Brushing them, feeding them, my love for horses was my world. I felt important, I felt useful. I had a job that mattered in the camp. I remember the last day of camp, the hot sun warming the dusty corral, and parents arriving for our camp rodeo. I was in the barrel race, riding fast, laughing, leaning into the final turn, the same horse I&#8217;d cared for all summer cooperating with my every move. That memory lives in my cells, the feeling of accomplishment, pride, of being fully alive. That moment was more than happiness. It was my experience creating my essence, an imprint left on my soul, that has stayed with me.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"

into our bodies, not through the pain, but through the joy. When bad experiences imprint on the nervous system, it trains the body to be on guard. But the body also remembers joy, love, peace, and purpose. And if we can feel into those memories, and not just recall them mentally, but embody them, we can begin to rewrite the story. </p><h2>Try This Somatic Practice</h2><ol><li><p>Go Back </p><p> Find a moment from your childhood that made you feel powerful, happy, safe, or free. Maybe it was swimming, climbing trees, or painting, singing, or simply sitting under the stars.</p></li><li><p>Feel It Fully</p><p>Close your eyes, relive this joyful moment, and not just the memory, but the sensation. What did the air smell like? What was the light doing? What did your body feel like? Where in your body do you still hold that joy?</p></li><li><p>Breathe Into It</p><p>Let your breath expand that feeling. Breathe into your chest, your belly, your hands. Say silently: &#8220;I remember, I receive, I reclaim&#8221;.</p></li></ol><p>Speak It</p><p>Share that joyful moment with someone or speak it aloud, witness yourself in that joy. Anchor it in the now, write it in your journal. </p><h1>Why it works</h1><p>Neuroscience confirms that the brain and body don&#8217;t differentiate between a memory and a current experience when it is felt viscerally. Repetition of joy can rewire neural pathways, creating new somatic maps, and restore a deep sense of safety and identity.</p><p>This isn&#8217;t bypassing pain, it&#8217;s reclaiming power, it&#8217;s saying: Before I was broken, I was whole, and that wholness still lives in me.&#8221;</p><h2>Final Thoughts</h2><p>The most profound healing may come not from reliving what hurts but from reinhabiting what is already healed. Joy is not naive. Joy is medicine. Joy is truth</p><p>Go back to that barrel race, or wherever you're, wherever your Joy was born.</p><p>Feel it again, live it again.</p><p></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a
