From Lonely to Exuberance and A Story to Help with Holiday Blues
A Fantasy Tale of Enchantment with a Road Map
Aurilia lived in the community of Lumina, in the land of Silvaria
She had trained deeply and devotedly in the spiritual realms, having reached success in happily sustaining a continuous joyous state that quite often filled her day. Yet similar to what her human counterpart from Earth often experienced, at times, joyful exuberance eluded Aurilia.
Here is her roadmap of one such day when exuberance dipped into loneliness.
A Happy Anticipation
The day began in a high state of joy, anticipating a picnic gathering later in the afternoon with some wonderful new found friends she had met. Wonderful humans, who shared similar values and visions for life on Silvaria. This gathering only happened once a month so her anticipation was high for connecting with her new friends.
However, being winter was approaching, rains came in as Aurilia was setting up the picnic area in the beautiful park. And so the picnic was canceled. Aurilia enjoyed herself just the same. Dining on the foods she had set out for the group and calling a friend to enjoy some human connection.
She packed up and returned home, yet noticed an empty feeling inside. She labeled the feeling lonely, which set off a whole story in her mind. She knew she was at a crossroad. Feed the story or find a way to lift herself up.
A Crossroad - What Story to Choose To Tell Herself
Aurilia set out to create a transformative journey for herself. One that would tell a tale of her going from loneliness to joy in a single day. She set out to capture the essence of her resilience and self-love, while mapping out the activities that would help her find her inner peace and happiness again.
While in her beautiful garden bedroom, Aurilia reached out for her personal development toolkit, a resource everyone on Silvaria was equipped with. The lush indoor plants always a blessing, helped to create a serene garden-like atmosphere in her bedroom sanctuary, warmly welcoming the inner work to be done.
Art supplies, music instruments, a yoga mat, gardening supplies and a space to dance all were available to her. The bedroom door led out to a lush garden and through a gate she had direct access to a marvelous nature trail for hiking.
Transforming Her State of Mind
Aurilia prepared to shift her mindset, embarking on a transformative journey. She tasked herself to move from experiencing low-frequency thoughts in solitude to a state of self-empowerment. This shift, she was sure, would underscore the significance of utilizing personal resources as a means to overcome emotional challenges and elevate one’s mental state.
As with any hero journey, whether a small one or a big life event, all have their key elements.
This Hero Journey Begins With Solitude To Ground and Center Oneself
Reflection in Solitude (Aurilia's Awakening): In this first segment, Aurilia immerses herself in the serenity of her garden bedroom, delving into introspection, aided by her toolkit of personal development, nature, music, and dance. This is a time of inner awakening, where Aurilia's solitude becomes a canvas for self-discovery and the cultivation of gratitude. It’s also an important time for self love, so some tapping (Emtional Freedom Technique) and Compassion Key practices, help immensely to ease her inner critical voice.
Once a kinder inner self talk has returned, she enjoys bringing to life in her visualizations, a scene that beautifully captures the essence of the new life experience she envisioned at the picnic. This scene in her inner mind represents the warmth, connection, and fulfillment of a transformed life, surrounded by friends and loved ones in a cozy, festive setting.
Though her new found friends do not realize this,
Aurilia is undergoing a life transformation
Aurilia allows her visualization to expand further, to images of, one day, in the near future she hopes, her life will be filled with friends, diverse in appearance, radiating joy, engaging in deep conversation, laughter, and sharing extraordinary stories of how Silvaria became the higher manifestation of Earth (sort of like the New Earth visions humans had long ago, but Silvaria being a much higher frequency than even what was imagined back in the early 21st Century).
An Uplifting Community of Dear Friends Is The Heart of Lumina
Aurilia further imagines an ambiance of warmth, connection, and newfound happiness, symbolizing the blossoming of relationships and personal fulfillment. At the heart of her visualization she envisions a joyous and healthy meal being shared with these new exquisite friends. Colorful, nutritious dishes fill the beautiful table, while an uplifting feeling of community, contentment, harmony and well-being is strongly present amongst everyone.
Aurilia images herself embodying grace and happiness, while sharing a toast with a man next to her, who exudes warmth and understanding. He awakens in her a remembrance of her long time desire to partner with a most wonderful man.
Now, while still in reflection and solitude, Aurilia notices a slight improvement in her state of mind.
She is aware to be careful though, for the thoughts that uplift her, are still very much in the fantasy realm.
While the task she has given herself today, is to find her joy again, right now in the present, with her life just as it is.
Finding Happiness in The Present Moment
Aurilia combines images of the crossroad she is at. On one side, attachment to her story and identity with loneliness and all that goes with that story. She engages in self-reflection, journal in hand, surrounded by books and plants.
In contrast, on the other side lies a choice to activate and engage herself in empowering practices. Practices that have consistently proven effective in lifting up the spirits.
The internal images of this more outgoing option cause a subtle shift in her visualization, from that of a softer, more introspective ambiance to a brighter, more vibrant and joyful setting.
This shift, she notices, happily symbolizes for her the transition from reflective solitude filtered with sadness, to inner peace and happiness. Aurilia smiles within, at how good she is getting at this visualization practice!
Choosing Growth, Empowerment and Celebration
This new option has an atmosphere filled with expansive opportunities, empowerment, and the fulfillment that comes from self-care and personal resilience.
Aurilia chooses to ‘come out of her cave’.
Nature As Sanctuary
One of Aurilia’s top ‘go to’ practices is to go for walks in nature, to help clear her thoughts. The tranquility and rejuvenating power of a quiet walk in nature, or even through the local neighborhood, is the best healing salve for her.
So she readies herself to go for a walk. As her walk begins, she finds herself feeling a bit droopy, still a bit melancholy. Along the walking path, with only a few people passing by occasionally, it allows for a more contemplative and intimate connection with nature. She appreciates this solitude out in nature, so to better collect her thoughts.
Here begins the second leg of the hero journey, connecting with nature
Embracing Nature's Call (Journey Through Lumina): As Aurilia steps out from her haven, embarking on a walk through the lush trails of Lumina, she is accompanied by the playful symphony of birds and the gentle rustling of leaves, and she finds her solace and joy in the arms of nature. Walking along riverbanks and under the canopy of ancient trees, her spirit is rejuvenated, and her heart opens to the simple yet profound joys of life.
Transitioning from the comfort of home to the exhilaration of nature, and the joy of being in harmony with the natural world
Even with all the richness that nature offers her, Aurilia knows deep in her heart, she still longs for more. She is inspired by the joyful liveliness of the wildlife, the birds and squirrels in particular, and longs for this communal joy in her own life.
It is at this point that Aurilia remembers to check in with her "Inner Child”. Some like to call it “The Still Quiet Voice Within”. Others call it “Our Higher Self”. This connection has always been at the heart of Aurilia’s spiritual practice.
The Joy of Connection With One’s Inner Child
The sunlight is reflecting off the river as the river winds through the landscape of lush trees and trails. A brightness starts to fill and uplift Aurilia. Her attention is starting to shift away from what is lacking in her life, and shifting back to remembrance of the richness of connection she has with “Her Inner Self”.
It’s time now, Aurilia decides, to be proactive with lifting up her energy. She can feel her shift from droopy and lonely, to connected and vibrant. It’s beginning. This gives her more fuel to keep on. A sense of rejuvenation and joy from connecting with nature and the community of animals has enlivened her.
Spirit revitalized as social interactions enliven the sense of connection
Aurilia draws upon her power of visualization again. The clear blue sky, the blooming flowers along the trail, the sun sparkling off of the river and the gorgeous tall trees all help to add a buoyancy to her step.
The quiet and serene hiking trail begins to transform into Aurilia having encounters with smiling people, playful animals, and graceful horses, creating a most joyous atmosphere.
This expanded interaction with nature and the friendly encounters along the trail reflect a sense of community and connection with the natural world. Aurilia feels less isolated and alone.
Her lonely is transforming into a deep experience of connection, one of happiness and rejuvenation, capturing the essence of how nature and simple social interactions can uplift and enliven the spirit.
Now Aurilia is really starting to find herself again. The truth of herself. For all the lonely story scenarios are really not the truth of who she is.
This spiritual renewal and remembrance shall be called ‘Sistar Lotus Flower Sacred Heart'. This ‘flower’ embodies the essence of empowerment, self-love, and the transformative journey of the soul, which are all part of the hero’s journey.
The next level in evolution of self-upliftment is radiant and vibrant
At this stage of the shift from lonely to exuberant, Aurilia emerges gracefully like a lotus flower from tranquil waters, symbolizing purity, enlightenment, and rebirth. The lotus representing her inner strength and growth. The glowing aura in the shape of a heart, signifying her own sacred heart and deep emotional resilience. Peace, harmony and balance exude from her essence.
It is at this point that Aurilia reclaims ownership of the direction of her energy field and frequency. She is in charge of creating her life and every thought and feeling is directly impacting and influencing her evolution and that of humankind. That includes staying positive while focusing on the world she envisions that could be the next highest expression for humankind.
It is at this stage, the third leg of the hero journey, the focus on the transformative power of gratitude holds tremendous power
With a grateful heart Aurilia reflects on her mini hero journey to lift herself out of her old story and identity of lonely, isolated and alone.
Remembering back on the progression she’s been through, her road map. Beginning in her garden bedroom surrounded by her personal development tools, symbolizing her introspection and commitment to take self responsibility for her life.
Next she fondly sees how she stepped out into nature, with birds and squirrels around, reflecting her gratitude for the simple joys of life. First walking in a contemplative mood, alone and quiet on the trail and then shifting to a more vibrant scene with happy people and animals sharing the trail together.
She’s reminded how her lonely started when she turned her focus to what was lacking in her life. Aurilia also remembered that her wonderful state of continuous joy in the present has been primarily rooted in seeing all the abundance that is in her life right now. There is so much abundance to celebrate in the simple things everyday.
A Big Key for a Joyful Life Is Keeping Focus on the Abundance In the Simple Wonders of Living
The practice of gratitude is proving to play a pivotal role in Aurilia’s transformation back to joy. Here are a few highlights.
1. Turning Inward with Gratitude: Reflecting on the abundance in her life, from the roof over her head to the simple joy of music and dance, she acknowledged the richness of her world. This shift in focus from lack to abundance laid the foundation for her transformation, instilling a sense of appreciation and inner strength.
2. Grateful Steps into Nature: Stepping out into nature, each stride accompanied by a silent thank you. With every bird's chirp and squirrel's play, her appreciation for the natural world deepened. This gratitude for life's simple pleasures amplified the joy she found in her nature walk, turning a routine trail into a path of wonder and serenity.
3. Contemplation on a Tranquil Trail: On the quieter, earth-toned trail, Aurilia's heart filled with gratitude for the peace and calm around her. She cherished the solitude as a precious opportunity for self-discovery and connection with the environment. This thankful mindset transformed her walk into a meditative experience, further elevating her sense of peace and contentment.
An Afternoon Of Loneliness Turned Into A Celebration of Life’s Abundant Gifts
Incorporating gratitude into each phase of her journey, Aurilia transformed her perspective, focusing on the abundance in her life rather than the absence. This practice of gratitude was not just a coping mechanism but a powerful tool that reshaped her reality, turning an afternoon of loneliness into a celebration of life's abundant gifts.
In the fourth leg of the hero journey, celebrate connection and unity
Aurilia’s joy of visualizing her most optimum imaginal life continues. Being droopy and lonely feels far in the past now. Her energy is high, while loving envisioning the highest possible life.
FOR AS WE IMAGINE, SO CAN WE CREATE
The Magic of Connection (Celebration of Unity)
Aurilia happily imagines a magical and captivating scene, seeing herself with friends and family, emerging from a beautiful, unique and futuristic-looking geodesic dome home, nestled in a lush, natural setting. The scene exudes feelings of the joy of companionship and shared experiences that she longs for, while living in an inspiring home environment.
A spirit of adventure, friendship, and the allure of nature's beauty is magnified as she and her friends step out onto the hiking trail. The attitude of gratitude is ever present at this stage of Aurilia’s visualization.
The Joy of Friendship and Shared Paths: As Aurilia could see herself join with her friends emerging from the geodesic dome, her heart overflowed with gratitude for the presence of like-minded souls in her life. This collective adventure into the wilderness was not just a physical journey but a celebration of shared bonds and mutual support. Recognizing the value of these connections, she felt a surge of happiness and belonging.
And here is where Aurilia takes charge again with yet another ‘next level’ visioning
Aurilia’s favorite visualizations often have unicorns in them! It seems perfect for her, that the culmination of her hero journey include a ride on a beautiful unicorn.
Unicorn Magic
A magical ride on her unicorn through a captivating lush forest, sunshine filtering through the trees, with blooming flowers, and magnificent waterfalls cascading into crystal-clear rivers is a moment that epitomizes for Aurilia the transformative power of joy, gratitude, and the eternal dance of life in Silvaria.
This moment symbolizes freedom, vitality, happiness, and the magical connection with nature and one's inner spirit.
Exuberant Gratitude on a Mystical Ride: Astride the unicorn, amidst the cascading waterfalls and flowing rivers, Aurilia's exuberance reached its zenith. This moment was a culmination of gratitude for life's magical possibilities. Embracing the beauty, freedom, and the surreal experience, she felt deeply thankful for the journey from solitude to joy, and for every step that contributed to her vibrant state of being.
Romance, New Beginnings and Shared Dreams
Aurilia’s heart softens, as she takes a moment to also include in this journey of magic and celebration, her long held desire for love, contentment and shared aspirations with a beloved man, one of her fondest and cherished daydream practices.
Strolling along the shoreline at the beach, gentle waves lapping at their feet, is one of her favorite imaginings. Enjoying both quiet moments, savoring the tranquility of listening to the ocean's rhythmic waves, and engaging in heartfelt conversations, both delight her, as she and her beloved share treasured moments of deep connection and mutual understanding together.
The beach is a haven of peace, its atmosphere imbued with beauty and love. Shared visions of a glorious world filled with harmony and ecstatic living weave a tapestry of imaginings that both Aurilia and her beloved hold dear, symbolizing a shared journey towards a life of blissful harmony.
AS WE IMPRINT OUR DESIRES UNTO THE TAPESTRY OF LIFE, THESE HEART CENTERED DESIRES FROM SOURCE WITHIN ARE SEEDS PLANTED THAT SURELY WILL BLOSSOM INTO FULL MANIFESTATION, IF ALLOWED TO GROW IN AN ENVIRONMENT OF LOVE, READINESS AND FEELING DESERVING
Aurilia has now returned to her enchanted community of Lumina. Feeling a bit wiser, having learned much about the inner workings of her mind and heart.
In actuality it took a few days for Lumina to fully find her joy again. Her state from loneliness to exuberance transformed gradually.
She again reviewed her transformation as it unfolded, warmly remembering each stage, knowing now she has a road map for future inner travels:
1. From Home and Introspection to Nature's Embrace: This initial step rekindled her inner strength, reminding her of the resilience and resources she possesses within.
2. Embracing the Outdoors: The simple act of walking, coupled with the vibrancy of nature, began to dissolve her feelings of loneliness, replacing them with a growing sense of joy and connection to the world around her.
3. A Nature Trail of Quiet Tranquility: This intimate encounter with nature’s serenity further calmed her mind, fostering a sense of peace and contentment.
4. Embracing the Wonders of Gratitude: Finding happiness in the present moment, seeing the abundance all around, these hold keys to a life of flow and joy.
5. Magical Moments with Friends: The pinnacle of her transformation occurred when Aurilia, accompanied by a few friends, emerged from a magical geodesic dome home. This step marked her reconnection with companionship and shared adventure. As they set off on a hiking trail, the beauty of the wilderness and the joy of friendship infused her with exuberance. The laughter, conversations, and collective awe of nature's wonders reinvigorated her spirit.
6. The Culmination of Transformation: Finally, Aurilia found herself in an ecstatic state, riding a unicorn through a landscape of waterfalls and rivers. This fantastical moment symbolized the peak of her transformation - a fusion of joy, freedom, and the magic of life's possibilities. It was a vivid reminder that even in moments of solitude, one can find pathways to joy and exuberance.
In just a few days of contemplation, Aurilia's journey showcased the power of taking proactive steps to shift energy and mood. From introspection and self-care to embracing nature and the joy of companionship, each stage offered its unique benefits, cumulatively leading to a complete transformation of her state of being.
Whether these experiences are real or imagined, both impact the brain in ways to enhance feelings of well-being.
