Sacred Play

We bring you the gift of sacred play. We enter your heart bringing joy and an ability to have fun, to laugh, to see the silly and playful side of life, and the be entertained by the wonderful spectacle of life. When you know how to look, you will see the joyful hand of the Creator behind so many of the people, places and things you see every day. You will begin to feel the Creator’s delight in creation, and you will feel laughter deep in your soul, a joyful connection with the Universe as you realize that even in its strange and sometimes dark mystery, life has a brightness and delight to it, a sense of humor and a quirky, amusing, enjoyable beauty. We know there is great joy inside you, and we will help you reconnect with that joy now so even your most arduous challenges will not diminish your capacity to feel the light of your spirit and take delight in your life.

It takes courage to connect with your inner world, to go deep into the truth of your pain and bring love to those wounds, to allow a healing current to transform and free you from the past. It takes maturity to live with depth, to look beyond the surface and to refuse to give up on your journey when something difficult is asked of you in order to grow. To succeed on the spiritual path, you need the willingness to enter the darkness and liberate the love from within, opening the darkness up to receive divine light. Although there can be great joy in the resolution of such suffering, during the process itself there may not seem to be much joy at all!

Then there is the discipline required to keep your spiritual light shining – the discipline of inner work, dealing with your “stuff”, meditating showing up for conscious dance, studying your spiritual books, doing whatever is required to keep you conscious, growing, awakening when it is admittedly so much easier to slip backwards into sleepiness, judgment and even procrastination and doubt. It takes so much inner strength to keep moving towards the light! There are times when the spiritual path will feel like a marathon that taxes you beyond your limits physically, emotionally, and psychologically. To summon the energy to play might seem – ironically enough – laughable.

Then in your fatigue and exhaustion, having worked so hard for your spiritual growth and personal development, you might feel ashamed that you are not laughing, joyful, enlightened and taking delight in all that is! Do not feel guilty or ashamed. This oracle does not come with any such intention. Rather, it comes as a peace offering from the Universe.

The Divine is extending a hand of friendship. You’ve been working so hard. There’s a knock at your door. It’s the Universe in the form of that cheeky, curious and friendly boy from down the street. He is inviting you to come outside and play. The sun is setting on what has been and there’s a sweet promise of new life and friendship in the air. The prospect of fun, play, fresh energy, adventure and friendship is before you now. Of laughter and fun – you need and deserve this. It’s time for the brightness of your light to fill your heart and cast away the shadows of the past.

The way you engage with sacred play will vary from day to day: coloring in (perhaps with unusual colors and outside of those lines); visiting the local dog park to be enchanted by the sheer diversity (and sense of humor) of the hand of the Creator (can one see a sausage dog or poodle and not giggle?); dancing in your lounge room, on the beach or out with friends; a walk in nature; playing a game with your children or watching a movie that lightens your heart; singing in the shower; going for a drive with your favorite music playing loud; an enthusiastic bout of “air guitar” or singing into your “hairbrush microphone”.

What makes play sacred is being present and allowing it to heal you, to lighten your heart and uplift your spirit. There is much seriousness and discipline on the spiritual path, and that is as it needs to be. However, when you can allow sacred play to become a part of your journey, too, the joy within you shall be all the stronger to nourish you through the challenging times. Your ability to take delight in life every day will increase, and the lightness in your heart will help enlighten the world.

Healing Process

To integrate this guidance, you may like to say this invocation now:

I call upon the Crystal Angel of Polychrome Jasper and Angel Caliel who love me unconditionally. Thank you for the divine healing gift of sacred play. I honor my disciplined nature and the strength of my commitment. I honor the need to balance this with freedom, spontaneity and joy. In opening to receive your gift of sacred play, I open my heart to the light and shine that light through my laughter. Through my own free will, so be it.

If you wish to further integrate this guidance, hold the oracle card with the mandala image facing towards you and resting at your sacral chakra (at your lower belly, beneath your belly button). rest and breathe in and out several times.

Then place the card with the mandala facing inwards resting at your heart chakra (at the center of your chest). Rest and breathe in and out several times.

Then say aloud:

I choose of my own free will, through this and any lifetime, and through all layers of my entire being. to release any shame or guilt about laughter, play and lightness of spirit. I accept the light-hearted side to my nature because I know I am a being filled with depth and compassion, capable of endurance but also delight. I accept sacred play as a healing part of my life, restoring me daily through delight. Through divine grace, humor and unconditional love, so be it.

Hold the oracle card flat between your palms so you can place your hands in prayer position with the oracle card between them.

Bow your head and say:

May divine love liberate the playful light and delight of love within all beings. May every being feel the pleasure of aliveness and play. May every being be held in the sanctity of divine protection and delight. May every being be happy and free. According to divine grace, so be it.

You can finish your healing process with this affirmation, said aloud three times (possibly with a wiggle of the hips at the conclusion):

Time for sacred play! Hip, hip, hooray!
