Meditation: When Joy Comes Back to the Body

Podcast Summary

Hey Dreamer,

Let’s have a heart-to-heart.

If you’ve felt disconnected lately, like your body is just going through the motions while your mind is running on empty—I see you. Maybe you’ve been functioning on autopilot, holding it together for everyone else while quietly wondering where your own joy went.

This episode is for you.

Today’s devotional and meditation invite you to remember something powerful: joy was never lost—it’s just been waiting for you to slow down enough to feel it again.

We talk about how often we live from the neck up—thinking, planning, praying—but forgetting that our bodies were made to worship too. We dig into Psalm 16:11, where God promises not just direction, but the joy of His presence. That presence is embodied. It’s in your breath, your stretch, your dance, your exhale.

I also share how the nervous system is wired for joy—and how you can activate that joy on purpose. No, you don’t have to feel happy to practice joy. That’s the whole point. You practice until the feeling returns. Movement is the doorway.

Whether you take a Joy Jar Walk, a Mirrored Dance Break, or just breathe deeply and smile at yourself in the mirror—this is your reminder: joy is still here.

So take this truth with you today:

“Joy is not a reward. It’s a resource. And it starts in the body.”

Let your body catch up to your spirit. Let your nervous system breathe.

You don’t have to perform. You just have to return.

Keep dreaming, keep moving, and keep trusting—

Joy knows how to find its way back.

Let’s connect. Not just in the comments, not just with a double tap. I want to know what’s been on your heart. Let’s talk, dream out loud, pray if you need it, laugh if you feel like it, just real space for real conversation.
