My list of uplifting soul moments got off to an easy start, then it started to require more thought. But I persevered and suddenly it was like creation itself burst through my mind and an overwhelming array of images and memories came flooding in. For the rest of the day, long after I had put my list aside, random images would pop into my consciousness filling me with joy.
So I share my list with you. If this list doesn't inspire and uplift you try writing your own - allow the joy of creation to flood through you and be acknowledged!
108 THINGS TO MAKE A SOUL SING
The brilliance of clear blue sky Birds joyfully singing their praises in first morning light
The sound of the ocean Feeling the warmth of the sun on your face
The palette of autumn The smell of pine tress
Jasmine garlands A warm glow of a glorious sunset
Beautiful butterflies in motion Feeling rain on your face
The Dalai Lama's infectious giggle A cats purr
A starry night sky The radiance and glory of a full moon
A rainbow Driving in the car with all the windows down
The Love in your Guru's eyes A silent night of freshly fallen snow
The joy of a sunflower The first optimistic daffodils of of spring
Holding a baby The smell of the earth after it rains
The touch of a loved one Warm home baked bread
Impromptu kitchen dancing Dancing naked in the rain
Spreading angel wings in the snow The velvet softness of a crimson red rose petal
A steaming hot shower Lambs bounding & frolicking in the field
The green of new spring growth Humming birds
A warm summers eve with the smell of honeysuckle wafting in the air
Feeling warm sand under your feet The smell of freshly mown grass
Riding your bike down hill hands free and legs out stretched.......whoohooo!
A thunder storm to behold with lightning streaking across a dark, moody, night sky
Snuggling back in bed on a rainy day Wearing brush cotton PJ's
The glow & warmth of a log fire Candle light
Smiling at strangers A conversation through the eyes
Paddling in the ocean Splashing in a puddle
Being with Redwood tress Singing at top volume in your car
The smell of fresh basil & coriander Hammock time
Bursting with love for another Recognising the light in an others eyes
Dolphins spiralling at play The sound of crashing ocean waves
Eating with your hands Lying on a sheep skin rug
Relaxing in an outside hot tub Floating in the sea on your back, looking at the night sky
Being Free The fragrance of fresh cut flowers in your home
Dark chocolate melting in the mouth Yoga in nature
A ride in a rickshaw, music blaring, through a crazy dusty city
Feeling the pulsating rhythm of the drum inside you
Standing on top of the mountain taking in the vastness and expansiveness all round you
Listening to rain on the rooftop Playing on a swing
Soaking in a bubble bath until you go all wrinkly
Beholding the majesty & purity of a white rose
Wearing your favourite cosy fleece Walking barefoot on grass
Having a snowball fight An afternoon on the sofa reading a good book
Getting lost in time browsing in the book shop
Wearing your favourite thick woolly socks Experiencing the innocence of a fawn
Casa soup
Getting into a bed made with fresh clean sheets just off the washing line
The smell and taste of freshly squeezed oranges
Girls movie night in Receiving a foot rub
Walking in the rain A long catch up chat with a friend
Mount Shasta The mystery of a forest
Christmas presents sitting under the tree Camping in the mountain
Seeing the clouds from above Feeling the presence
Being in the stillness of silence Drinking ice cold fresh mountain water from the stream
Mango season Watching a loved one laugh
Watching a child's first tentative steps Holding a kitten
Playing chase with a dog Sitting by a river
The smell of Cinnamon The velvet softness of a sip of red wine
The smell of your favourite incense Watching seals bask on a rock
Carrying an old ladies bag for her Fragrant hot steaming chai
Having your hair stroked Getting all wrapped up to go out into the cold
Standing under an exhilarating waterfall Feeling the sea spray on a cliff top walk
A walk with crisp autumn leaves crunching under foot A masage with hot stones
BEING PRESENT TO LIFE'S SIMPLE PLEASURES AND GIVING THANKS
And I think to myself what a wonderful world!
