The old saying goes "Laughter is the best medicine."
This is also true in your spiritual path. There are barriers within your life that inhibit your potential such as self doubt, difficult situations, grief or loneliness. So instead of being so serious all the time with your spiritual path, live a little.
There is a reason that witches are known for dancing under the full moon and are full of merriment. We pagans know that celebration allows us to release ourselves and break out of our shells. The music, dancing and merriment builds positive spiritual energy and makes our work even more effective.
So I have a few suggestions that prior to doing a meditation will help you get more out of it:
* LAUGH, JUST LAUGH
Watch or listen to a comedy or spend time with someone who makes you laugh. You can always browse You Tube or other sites and find some very funny stuff.
* SMILE OFTEN
Even if you don't feel like smiling, focus on keeping a smile on your face. People who work in call centers are encouraged to smile during calls from customers because a smile can be heard over the phone. It changes your tone, demeaner and smiling is infectious. If others see you smiling throughout everyday life, some may perceive you as "strange", but for the most part, people will smile back and that will re-infect you.
* DANCE MAGIC DANCE
Putting on some good music and working up your energy is an effective way to raise your energy levels. I can tell you that I'm probably the world's worse dancer and I have absolutely no rhythm, but since I look so silly doing it, I not only raise my energy levels, but I also laugh at myself A LOT!
* PLAY THAT FUNKY MUSIC
Find yourself a good, simple drum or if you know how to play another instrument, this would be a good opportunity to use that talent. Drums are easy. Even with a bad rhythm like mine, it is easy to pound away to other music and hop around like a silly rabbit. The point is, the more of yourself you put into having a good time, the better it will raise your energy levels.
Overall, the important thing to remember is to have fun, even if you don't feel you are a "fun" person. Be creative, use your imagination and laugh as often as possible.
