lightness of being

millie shows me colorful helium balloons and hot air balloons floating through the sky.  I ask her why those things make me happy.


"they literally lift your spirit.  they remind you of your natural state:  free, light, floating, joyous"

she sends me a feeling like the giddy weightlessness at the top of the roller coaster, the free flying moment at the front and back of each arc of the swing on the swing set.

how do we achieve it?

"allow.  release.  it is a choice to hang on to heavy energy or to let it go.  tie each of your worries or troubles to a balloon and let it float away.  feel yourself getting lighter with each one gone.


pay attention to your vibration.  practice changing it.  practice raising your vibration.  think of the giddiness you felt as a kid.  match it.  hold it for a moment, or longer if you can.  it might be uncomfortable at first, it is unfamiliar to you now.  keep practicing, it will get easier.


each of you is a master musician, you can play any song you choose.  the more you practice the easier it gets.


seek out things that lift your spirits.  colorful balloons.  evergreen green against perfect sky blue.  sunlight sparkling on snow.  warm sandy beaches.  don't go into effort, just accept what comes to you and *focus* on it, even for a moment.  appreciate beauty all around you.  live from that space.


this is your natural state.  vibrate at peace and love and joy."

thank you, millie.
