Energy of Joy: A Seasonal Invitation
The holiday season arrives cloaked in sparkling lights, familiar music, and the cultural expectation that joy should come easily this time of year. For some, it does — a natural uplift, a sense of celebration. But for many of us, especially after a long or challenging year, the pressure to “feel joyful” can feel like just another emotional demand we can’t quite meet.
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been reflecting deeply on the nature of joy. Not the quick bursts of happiness that arrive in response to good news or a pleasant moment — but the deeper, more enduring joy that lives underneath the surface of our daily lives.
And something has become crystal clear:
Joy is not just a feeling.
Joy is a frequency.
Joy is a state of consciousness.
Feelings are temporary and reactive — often based on what has happened to us. Joy is a chosen energetic orientation — something we cultivate from the inside out. And recently, I have needed that reminder more than ever.
A few weeks ago, I learned that someone had used my identity to open a fraudulent health insurance policy. What unfolded next was a maze of phone calls, conflicting information, emotional pressure, and unexpected challenges. It was stressful. It was confusing. At moments, it was overwhelming. And it consumed far more time and energy than I ever wanted to give it.
I don’t often share personal struggles publicly, but I want to share this because it shaped this blog. Because this was the backdrop behind my reflections on joy.
In the middle of navigating identity theft, bureaucracy, and the emotional weight that comes with feeling unsafe or unseen, I found myself at a crossroads.
I could spiral into anxiety.
Or I could anchor myself in something higher.
I could operate from fear.
Or I could return — again and again — to the energy of joy.
Joy didn’t erase the stress.
Joy didn’t magically fix the situation.
But it changed me in the middle of it.
Choosing joy gave me clarity.
Choosing joy kept my heart steady.
Choosing joy helped me access strength I didn’t realize I had.
I truly believe that joy is a spiritual technology — a way of energetically aligning yourself with the best and truest version of who you are. It is not about ignoring hardship. It is about choosing the frequency that will carry you through hardship with grace.
As we step deeper into the holiday season, I’d like to offer a gentle invitation — not to chase joy, but to cultivate the energy of joy as a daily practice. Below are three simple, powerful ways to shift your mindset and reconnect with joy, followed by three life-changing benefits that come from living in this frequency.
Three Practices for Cultivating the Energy of Joy
1. Create Micro-Moments of Gratitude — Especially When Life Is Hard
Gratitude is one of the fastest energetic pathways to joy. And the most powerful time to practice gratitude is not when everything is going well — but when life feels heavy, uncertain, or overwhelming.
During the peak of the identity theft chaos, I didn’t have the energy for long journaling or meditation. But I could pause and name one thing that felt grounding:
“I am safe.”
“I am supported.”
“This cup of tea is comforting.”
“Someone I love just checked in on me.”
These micro-moments softened the tension in my body and shifted my vibration upward.
Try this:
Three times a day, name one small thing that supports you.
It takes less than 10 seconds, yet it rewires your nervous system.
This is why I weave gratitude into Reiki, intuitive guidance, and energy healing sessions at Intuitive Hearts — because gratitude elevates your frequency instantly and opens the doorway to joy.
2. Change the Energetic Channel (Your Focus Is a Frequency Controller)
When I was navigating phone calls, emails, and paperwork, I could feel myself being pulled into an anxious loop — the mind replaying scenarios, the body tightening, the energy contracting.
So I practiced something simple:
Change the channel.
Just like turning off a TV show that drains you, you can redirect your mind, body, and field by choosing a new energetic focus.
Try any of these quick shifts:
Step outside and breathe real air
Place your hand on your heart and inhale deeply
Say: “I choose calm. I choose clarity. I choose joy.”
Put on a song that lifts your spirit
Touch something with texture — grounding through sensation
This isn’t bypassing. It is energetic sovereignty — choosing what you allow into your inner world. This technique is part of the energy hygiene practices I teach in sessions and courses because it is life-changing. Your attention is your wand. It directs your reality.
3. Let Joy Be a Sensation, Not a Thought
During stressful periods, the mind becomes hyperactive. Joy can feel far away. But joy is not something you think — joy is something you feel energetically.
Try this simple embodiment practice:
Sit quietly
Close your eyes
Place your hands on your heart
Imagine a warm golden light expanding through your chest
Let that warmth fill your belly, shoulders, and face
Whisper: “This is joy. I allow this frequency to fill my body.”
You don’t have to force happiness. You don’t have to pretend everything is fine.
You only need to reconnect with your inner light — the light that stress cannot extinguish.
This is one of the core principles of the healing work at Intuitive Hearts: joy lives in the body long before it reaches the mind.
Three Benefits of Choosing the Joy Frequency
1. Joy Strengthens Your Energy Field
Joy is stabilizing. It expands your aura, clears stagnant energy, and enhances your resilience.
A joyful energy field:
Recovers faster from stress
Handles challenging people with more ease
Repels negativity more naturally
Supports intuitive clarity
Joy is not weakness — joy is power.
2. Joy Supports Emotional and Physical Well-Being
Choosing the energy of joy:
Calms the nervous system
Softens anxiety
Improves sleep
Enhances immunity
Increases emotional stability
Supports heart, breath, and digestion
This is why joy is foundational in Reiki and sound healing: it restores balance at every level.
3. Joy Amplifies Manifestation and Opens Pathways
Joy is a magnet. It attracts synchronicities, opportunities, and clarity.
When you choose joy:
You think more clearly
You trust your intuition
You make aligned decisions
You receive more easily
You co-create with life instead of reacting to it
Joy shifts your trajectory. It calls in your future.
A Loving Invitation
If this season has felt overwhelming, complicated, or emotionally heavy, please know this:
You are not alone.
Joy doesn’t always arrive on its own.
But you can invite it — gently, intentionally, and compassionately.
This is your seasonal invitation to live not from stress or obligation, but from the energy of joy.
And if you feel called to deepen your healing, raise your frequency, or reconnect with your inner light, Intuitive Hearts offers:
Reiki, energetic cord cutting, and sound healing to clear emotional heaviness
Intuitive guidance and astrology sessions to bring clarity
Workshops and trainings to support your evolution
Joy is not something you wait for.
Joy is something you choose — over and over — until it becomes your natural state.
May this season remind you of your strength, your light, and the deep joy that lives within you.
