Welcome to What's Your Joy? A book to transform your life! Who am I? Why am I here? What gives me joy? What's my life-purpose? What are my gifts and talents?

Sound familiar? Do these questions persistently knock on the periphery of your consciousness? There comes a time when these and other fundamental questions come to the forefront of most of our lives and demand to be answered. If that time has come for you, the What's Your Joy? book could be just what you're looking for.

Why 'What's Your Joy?'

Joy is one of life's essentials. Joy isn't something we need to create from something outside of us. It is our inherent nature, an aspect of love. Love is joy, joy is love. When you're feeling pure joy, you're expressing the feeling of pure love. They're inseparable, the same energy. In essence, that is who we are.

What's Your Joy? is the culmination of my own life experiences in pursuit of my inner self, my inner joy. My disposition and the varied lifestyle I chose afforded me the opportunity to extensively explore myself in myriad ways. Having spent most of my adult life in this pursuit which also included reading umpteen books and attending many courses - and spending many thousands of dollars - it seemed to me that there was a need for a comprehensive course that would incorporate all aspects of the self and allow people to experience their self-exploratory process in their own way, at their own pace and which didn't cost the earth. It also seemed to me that there was a general lack of understanding about what the inner search entailed, how to go about it or what to expect. I wanted to dispel some of the unrealistic expectations. This process can be liberating and exhilarating at times; there may also be times when it can be quite challenging. It's important to have this awareness so as not to be discouraged, to understand that it's all part of the adventure and all of it is worthwhile.

Who could benefit from this book?

The What's Your Joy? book was created as a self-exploratory tool for people who are just beginning their inner search, those who've already dipped their toe in and are unsure in which direction to go or what their next step may be, or even those who are already well on their way and are looking for a little refresher, some inspiration or further guidance. Wherever anyone is on their path, What's Your Joy? can be a valuable resource. It encourages the participant to step outside the parameters of their family's and society's conditioning, re-discover their authentic self and live an unconventional life, helping to forge a new paradigm for this new and ever changing world in which we live.

How does it work?

What's Your Joy? is a comprehensive, self-exploratory course designed to guide the participant through a process of self-discovery, providing a basic structure from which they can continually expand. This easy-to-use, step-by-step practical guide invites the reader to delve deeply into their own psyche, to explore themself from every imaginable perspective, allowing them to gain a holistic understanding of who they are and what they came here to be and do, to reclaim and celebrate every aspect of themselves. Weaving together practical exercises, in-depth questionnaires, valuable insights, creative visualisations and healing techniques, the participant is guided to awaken and remember who they are, find their own answers, discover their innate gifts and talents and to learn how to use them in their own unique way in creating their life-purpose.

What is the relevance of Chakras?

The human body has seven major chakras, each a spinning, vibrating vortex of energy located in the subtle energy sheaths surrounding and interpenetrating the physical body, and each in alignment with the spinal cord. What's Your Joy? uses the functions and attributes associated with each of the seven major chakras of the body as tools for creating a foundation for holistic living. Each chakra is inter-connected. The purpose of working with the chakras is to create integration and wholeness by bringing the various aspects of the self; the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual, into a harmonious relationship. By having an understanding of how the chakras relate to our life and working with the different functions and attributes of each of them, we can have a greater understanding of ourselves, become more aware, live more consciously and creatively, gain practical life skills, build self-esteem, have fun and live to our highest potential.

Through this powerful self-exploratory process you can:

• Recognise and acknowledge your true self
• Recognise your own unique Personality Traits, Characteristics, Family-derived Attributes, Gifts and Talents, Innate Abilities, Life-skills, Inner Strengths, Heart Qualities and Passions and learn how to use them in your own unique way to your highest potential in the creation of an authentic and fulfilling life
• Re-connect with your inner joy
• Discover and live your life-purpose
• Resolve issues which are preventing you from living the life you desire
• Learn how to resolve relationship issues and create harmonious relationships
• Recognise, understand and change inappropriate and self-sabotaging behaviours
• Be self-aware, self-responsible and self-empowered
• Learn new skills and behaviours to deal creatively with life's challenges
• Welcome and embrace change in your life and use it for personal growth
• Do all of the above in a spirit of fun and adventure

The increased power of working in groups

This course can be used on an individual basis by people who prefer to do things on their own at their own pace. However, it's primarily been designed for use in a group format for a number of reasons. When people come together as a group, they bring their individual energies, which when combined, form a group energy, which is so much more powerful than any individual energy. If group participants learn to use the combined energy to its greatest advantage, each member benefits enormously in accelerated healing and growth on all levels.

Other reasons for favouring the group format are the camaraderie, support and emotional safety a group can provide, especially when someone is going through a difficult patch. Each member is to the other a teacher, mentor, mirror, encourager, observer, catalyst and much more. Each member plays an important and valuable role, and each will find that they are more observant and intuitive, especially when this is encouraged within the group. In effect, if the group is acting with honesty and integrity, there'll be nowhere for anyone to hide, and there is a pool of creative ideas the whole group can continually add to and draw from, benefiting each person enormously.

If you wish to form a group you can download the free What's Your Joy brochure to send out into your community. You can also look on-line to see if there is a group near you. Maybe a local Community Centre would be happy to host a group.

Enjoy the process!

Having the intention of making this a fun process will go a long way toward making it so. Fun, playfulness is so overlooked and undervalued by adults. When we do anything in a spirit of fun and adventure we 'lighten up' which frees us up, which activates our joy, our true self. Combine that with the willingness to trust in our own guidance and go where it takes us, the rewards are limitless.

I believe we all have the capacity to live creative, meaningful and fulfilling lives and the What's Your Joy? course aims to encourage individuals to polish the gem of their being to reveal their own unique colours, aspects and possibilities and embody these in the world.

Have fun, live your joy!

Love and Blessings,

Diane
