I received as a gift a large mug that’s a deep shade of purple decorated with butterflies outlined in white. It’s lettering offers this bit of wisdom …
be open to the joy of each new day.
That right there is enough reason for the mug to be one of my favorites, but there’s more -- the mug has a magical secret!
When it holds warm liquid, the purple background turns green and the butterflies come alive in an array of delightful colors!
I love using this mug! I love watching it transform. It reminds me that we each have a magical secret ...
when we are filled with warmth and love, magic happens and it shows up in delightful ways. We feel better, life just seems to run more smoothly, and we are open to the joy of each new day.
Those around us see something special and delightful in us, and they respond in kind.
How we kindle our inner warmth is as individual as we are, but often we think we need to find things outside ourselves to make us feel better, happier, and satisfied. We turn to food, other people, the work we do – the list is endless.
But the real magic happens when we fill our inner cup to the brim with love … for ourselves as well as others. Then those feelings we seek just seem to bubble up from inside us and color our world in delightful ways.
How do we do that? We can begin by simply placing our hands on either side of our chest (at about the 3rd rib -- like when you place your hand over your heart). It is here that we find an innate energy portal that helps us love ourselves and others. It encourages us to see the good in everyone, as well as ourselves. The connection with our hands balances our energy there. Being with this “hold” for a while allows us to bring home whatever is troubling us and to learn from it. It helps to fill and warm our inner cup.
Then, we show up in delightful ways that color our world. We are open to the joy of each new day.
And ... magic happens!
