Digging Deeper, Looking for Joy,

Expanding Our Scope

 

For so many, it seems to be a time for justice and releasing much (righteous) pent-up outrage. For others, it's getting a grip on Covid-prevention. For still others it's a time for breaking through stuckness to find the next level of courage and soul-expression. We're slowly finding our legs, our heart, and our direction after much chaos and smoke & mirror misdirection. We still have the advantage of being somewhat sequestered due to the pandemic, which allows us the opportunity to tune in to what's most important, to our key themes and work, and to the old blockages that want to be dissolved to free us for greater joy.

 

Joy has been on my mind, and in my heart lately. It cannot be underestimated as a profound motivator in life! I found a section on joy in an old book, The Opening of the Way, about the wisdom of ancient Egypt, by Schwaller de Lubicz. Here are a few slightly edited passages:

 

"Pleasure is not joy, only a satisfaction; and not all exaltation is joy. Joy is a movement of vital Fire, and makes the soul pick up its vibration. But this can happen only if the cause of joy—moral or physical—augments  vitality with a gleam of consciousness.

 

"For the soul, being Fire and Light, lives on Fire and Light. Its tendency is to expand to the universal, and therefore its joy is in liberation from personal limitations. The joys of the world are extinguished by pain, but true Joy is impersonal and therefore knows nothing of pain, in fact uses it as fuel.

 

"Absence of joy is a sign of slackness or satiety or the complacency which neutralizes life. Worldly joy expresses itself externally but true Joy concentrates itself in order to multiply and increase its heat. Joy must be generated. When the Living Fire is active, it radiates and its radiance is Joy."

 

As we enter a new season, perhaps we can keep Joy in mind, and body. Let's experiment with allowing it to expand our scope and quality of life, our health and imagination, and protect us from cruelty and injustice.

1. I am still writing a new book in every free minute I can find. It's more than half finished, and this may be why you're noticing I'm not doing quite as many podcasts and private sessions as usual.

2. Our Leap of Perception Book Club turned out to be a lovely success. I will turn it into one of my on-demand courses soon! Here's part of the feedback: 

"I loved this course! Penney is such a visionary. I marvel at her amazing mind. Her information is new and needed at this time in our history. I could read her book a number of times and still learn from her. Her guided exercises help us to expand our spiritual abilities. Kelly Stoks is a talented group leader. She is welcoming, organized, engaging and never seems to rush, and yet we always end on time."

3. Coming Soon! Spirit Talk Gatherings

Join me and Kelly Stoks for a casual gathering to discuss all things intuition- and transformation-related. We’ll begin our experiment with 4 sessions, every other week, for 60 minutes each. Bring your questions, dreams, and quandaries about a wide range of topics: intuition, visions, empathy, transparency, life purpose, overwhelm, trust, stuckness, healing, soulgroups, creativity, imagination, transformation, mindfulness, gratitude—anything! Each session is $10. May 5, May 19, June 2, June 16 at 1pm EDT. The goal here is to jump in, share, investigate, and open new doors of understanding. Hopefully, to also move beyond old, calcified ideas and make new friends!  CLICK HERE TO REGISTER
 

4. You can download my 2020 and 2021 Oracle letters (much of what I wrote for last year is happening now) at my website's Oracles page. And I've also posted many editorials/articles on medium.com. If you haven't ever poked around on medium, it's a great site.

5. I've created 4 Online On-Demand Courses:
        — The Frequency Book Club:  This 7-session on-demand Zoom study and discussion group focuses on my best-selling book, Frequency: The Power of Personal Vibration. It is facilitated by transformational coach Kelly Stoks. I make several guest appearances.  

       — Journaling for Clarity & Intuition:  If you’re serious about the power of journaling, I've designed a 6-month program for you. Each month has a theme and just 12 prompts, and the themes progress, taking you on a journey of awakening to heightened perception and your soul-self.

        — Dreaming Your Way to Deeper Intuition: This 4-session on-demand Zoom course is synthesized from my book, Be the Dreamer Not the Dream. Cocreated with Michelle Lagaly‘s Intuition Circle, you’ll find that working with your dream life, both during the night and day, is a true shortcut to heightened intuition, accessing the unlimited nature of the imaginal realm, and having much more fun. I present every lesson.

        — Penney-a-Day Subscription: In this subscription you will receive an inspiration for every day of the year—from seven different categories, one each week. If you forget to think more deeply, or raise your vibration, this daily reminder will recenter you!
