π¦ "The world is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper." W.B. Yeats
π I woke up one morning and thought:
I feel like doing a puzzle!
My next thought: I want to get a circular puzzle! I googled and saw that Takealot had beautiful, round puzzles, and the Hummingbird one jumped out at me.
π¦ I have an invocation for opening sacred space from my shamanic training in the UK. This hummingbird part relates to the North direction of the Medicine Wheel and the element of Air.
π·Hummingbirds drink nectar from flowers and so symbolise finding the joy and sweetness of life.
'Teach us how to make the impossible, possible' relates to how far these tiny birds can migrate: The 8cm long rufous hummingbird is able to fly up to 3200 km during migratory transits. How incredible!
βοΈ I follow Lucy Campbell, the artist, and soon after I completed my puzzle, I saw her artwork and accompanying words.
They make so much sense to me.
I realized this is what I do with my kinesiology work, I facilitate finding missing pieces of the puzzle of your life.
π In the context of Joy, what missing pieces, known or not yet experienced, do you need to connect to and add to your life? I have included a few of my favourite pieces of life that bring me joy.
π³ "As you become more present, you begin to notice beauty, joy, and happiness hidden in the simplest of experience. It's easy to miss them when you are lost in your mind, but once you become present, even for a few seconds, a whole new world opens up .
π§‘ When that happens, you start to find joy in the seemingly mundane things that you otherwise took for granted.
π Even a simple activity like sitting in a garden, drinking coffee, watching the sunrise, or reading a book can fill your senses with extreme joy and
happiness."
π Hummingbirds and Sunbirds are iridescent gifts from nature. They remind us to find our nectar, the joy and sweetness in our day to day lives.
