Tears welled up in my eyes and flowed ceaselessly down my cheeks. The sense of joy, love and upliftment was beyond words. It was at some point after that, it could have been an eternity because sense of time had stopped, I felt what I can only describe as вЂliquid goldвЂ™ begin to flow downwards from the crown of my head and into my chakras. All tightness quickly disappeared.ДЄs I see it now, IвЂ™m looking upwards to the surface of the water and as the golden sunlight shines through, I can see my body becoming increasingly translucent, like a wafer thin film through which the water is gently rippling. I was quickly loosing any sense of separation the healing effects of the water, the vibration of the birds song and the joy of the sun were becoming me and I was becoming them. My favoured almond aroma wafted in on the gentle ocean breeze and in the trees all around me, the birds began their morning song, piercing the quietness with their fragile beauty. Around the pool were the soft colours of sandstone and as the sun came up over the mountains in front of me, the darkness of the sky began to lighten into a wonderful indigo and then golden orange. And as I sank into the warming waters, I quickly began to feel joy and infinite peace as all tension dissolved away from my body. On this particular morning, IвЂ™d walked up to the village just before dawn and as I passed the hotel, although this time I couldnвЂ™t afford to stay there, I wondered if anyone would notice if I sneaked in and had a nifty dip in the jacuzzi.

The hotel had an amazing open air jacuzzi nestled into the mountain side overlooking a fabulous panorama.

IвЂ™d visited Deia before when (as a businessman) IвЂ™d been financially more affluent and had stayed at one of the nicer hotels вЂ“ one that had an antique villa type feel. I didnвЂ™t have much money so I was camping in a beautiful orange grove overlooking the seaвЂ¦ It was on the island of Majorca, on the northern coast, away from the hubbub, in the picturesque and ancient tiny village called Deia. I remember fondly a holiday I once took not so long ago after I woke up.

Our cells are pumped full of the sense of joy and love which helps balance the playing field.

Then we begin to release other chemicals from the brain вЂ“ endorphins вЂ“ which prevent the invasion of negative energies into our cells. When we confront and process out our attachment and identification with the negative, then we can actively soften into the lightness of life, which exists everywhere even in the midst of darkness. If we allow negativity to dominate our experience then internally we reproduce chemicals in the brain which flood our bloodstream, invade our bodily cells and create the feeling of internal stress вЂ“ yes weвЂ™re actually changing our very cell structure to become stress!Д«ut we can easily prevent this from happening with practice and perseverance. When we see only the darkness and allow ourselves to become identified with that, hereвЂ™s when our internal trouble begins вЂ“ although processing our inner attachments and releasing the pain is good, wallowing in it certainly doesnвЂ™t help us move through. We can choose either to attune to the darkness all around us or the light through it. Is the glass half full or half empty? In actual fact the glass is always full вЂ“ its half full of air! Its just an example of choice вЂ“ how we choose to see things in life and to experience them.
