Suzy’s Story: From Trigger to Glimmer
I've always had a talent for seeing the positive moments in life, which I call glimmers. These are the moments of happiness, inspiration, and understanding that brighten your days and uplift your soul. They are the magical sparks that light up your spirit and provide guidance, casting a warm glow that illuminates the way.
I see the sunshine even in the rain, the rainbow after the storm, the beauty in the ordinary, and the magic in the mundane.
The Dark Moments
Life hasn't always been easy. I've faced many triggers that caused me stress and fear, waking me from my peaceful life. These were signs of darkness and despair that led me down the path of anxiety and depression. In the early years, I experienced many struggles and challenges, such as losing loved ones, surviving a brush with death, and dealing with mental and emotional stress. I felt lost, hopeless, and disconnected from my true self and purpose.
The Turning Point
I knew I needed to change my mindset and turn my life around. I decided to focus on the glimmers instead of the triggers and to appreciate them in my life. I learned to listen to my intuition and trust my gut feelings, which often provided me with intuitive insight and guidance. I also practised gratitude, optimism, kindness, and connection with nature, which helped me to create more sparkles in my daily life.
Embracing the Glimmers
As I embraced the glimmers in my life, I noticed that my intuition became stronger and clearer. I began to receive more profound messages and signs from my ancestral, spirit, and divine guides, who helped me to align with my soul's voice and inner light. I also discovered my passion for helping others manifest their dreams and live a more intuitive and conscious life.
My personal story is proof of the power of glimmers and how they can transform your life. Whether you find heart flickers in nature, art, music, spirituality, or relationships, this book will help you embrace them and live a more joyful and fulfilling life. It is a poetic journey to the heart of happiness and a reminder that even in the darkest times, there is always a glimmer of hope to guide you toward the light.
Signs from the Universe
Glimmers in life are not mere coincidences; they are signs from the universe that show us the way toward our spiritual path. They are the moments when our soul is in alignment with the divine, and we feel a sense of peace and purpose. By cherishing these intuitive flashes, we connect with our higher self and the divine energy that surrounds us. It is through these moments of insight and inspiration that we can tap into our intuition and receive guidance and messages from our spiritual guides and angels. When we shift our focus towards the glimmers and away from the triggers, we open ourselves up to a world of infinite possibilities, where magic and miracles can happen.
Awe-Inspiring Moments
Here are some of life's most awe-inspiring moments that can touch your soul, ignite your joy, and bring you closer to the Divine:
Holding a newborn baby for the first time, feeling an overwhelming sense of love and connection that reminds you of the miracle of life and the preciousness of each moment.
Witnessing a breathtaking sunrise or sunset while surrounded by nature's beauty, feeling the awe-inspiring power of creation, and noticing the beauty in the world around us.
Listening to your favourite music and getting lost in the rhythm, feeling uplifted and inspired by the transcendent power of music to connect us to something beyond ourselves.
Laughing with friends or family, feeling completely carefree and happy, and recognising the joy and love that comes from connecting with others.
Sharing a special moment with a loved one, like a hug or a meaningful conversation, feeling the deep connection and love that binds us all.
Being surprised by a thoughtful gesture or gift from someone, feeling touched by their kindness and the generosity that comes from the heart.
Witnessing a random act of kindness or compassion, feeling inspired by the goodness of humanity and the spark of the divine that exists within us all.
Feeling grateful for the simple things in life, like a warm cup of tea, a walk in nature, or a cozy blanket on a cold day, and recognising the abundance of blessings that surround us every day.
Experiencing a moment that ignites the heart with tears, such as hearing a moving piece of poetry, a heartfelt song, or sharing a profound heart-to-heart connection with someone, feeling deeply moved by the beauty and emotion of the moment.
Appreciating stillness, silence and the clarity it brings.
May these moments inspire you to embrace the beauty of life, cherish every moment, and nurture your connection to the Divine.
Spark Joy: How to Find and Share Happiness in Everyday Life
Happiness is not something that happens to you, but something that you create for yourself. It is not a destination, but a journey. It is not a fixed state, but a dynamic process. Happiness is a glimmering joy—the joy that we find and share in everyday life.
Finding Joy in the Little Things
One of the simplest and most effective ways to cultivate happiness is to find joy in the small things that make us happy. These are the moments that often go unnoticed or taken for granted, such as a warm hug, a funny joke, or a delicious meal. These are the moments that make us smile, laugh, or feel good. These are the moments that glimmer with joy.
The key to finding joy in the small things is to be mindful and attentive to them. Notice them, appreciate them, and express gratitude for them. Savour them and share them with others. Joy is contagious and can spread more glimmers around us.
Making Time for Passions and Rituals that Bring Us Happiness and Fulfillment
Another way to cultivate happiness is to make time for activities that bring us happiness and fulfilment. These are the activities that align with our values, passions, and goals. These are the activities that challenge us, inspire us, and enrich us. These are the activities that glimmer with joy.
The key to making time for activities that bring us happiness and fulfilment is to prioritise them and schedule them. Make them a part of your daily or weekly routine. Commit to them and enjoy them. Celebrate them and share them with others. Joy is contagious and can spread more glimmers around us.
Cultivating a Deeper Sense of Spiritual Connection and Meaning in Our Lives
Another way to cultivate happiness is to cultivate a deeper sense of spiritual connection and meaning in our lives. This is the aspect that transcends ourselves and connects us with something greater. This is the aspect that glimmers with joy.
The key to cultivating a deeper sense of spiritual connection and meaning in our lives is to find practices that resonate with us and help us connect with the Divine. This might involve practices such as meditation, prayer, or spending time in nature. This might also involve practices such as chanting, journaling, or reading sacred texts. This might also involve practices such as serving others, expressing gratitude, or living authentically. Joy is contagious and can spread more glimmers around us.
The Dark Side of Artificial Happiness
It's important to be aware of the pitfalls of instant gratification, artificial happiness, numbing, and conditional happiness when seeking to cultivate true happiness.
Quick fixes and temporary pleasures may provide a momentary boost, but they are often fleeting and leave us feeling empty and unfulfilled in the long run.
Similarly, relying on external circumstances or conditions to dictate our happiness can be a dangerous trap, as these things are often outside of our control.
Instead, it's important to cultivate a sense of inner peace and contentment that is not dependent on external factors. This requires patience, self-reflection, and a willingness to let go of attachments and expectations.
By doing so, we can cultivate a deeper sense of joy and fulfilment that is lasting and genuine. Addiction to devices, substances, and numbing practices cultivates conditional happiness, not genuine happiness.
Unlocking Vitality: Harnessing the Transformative Power of Breath and Senses
This practice emphasises the profound impact that conscious breathing and heightened awareness can have on our well-being.
Take some time to breathe, just be, and let your imagination soar. Imagine a world where everyone is happy. Imagine a world where everyone is finding and sharing glimmers of joy in everyday life. Imagine a world where you are one of them.
How does that feel?
How does that look?
How does that sound?
How does that smell?
How does that taste?
How does that make you happy?
Glisten, glimmer and shine bright star!
In love, happiness and peace,
