Blissed out in Walmart

Nicole mentioned the word "joy" today in a shout-out, and after wandering around a few blogs this morning, I plunged head-over-heels into a marvelous state of bliss. There felt like huge waves of positive energy and love vibrating all around this beautiful site of Gaia. It felt like something had shifted, something opened, something pulsating.
So off I headed to a town about an hour north of here to run some errands. Oh how lovely to feel that blissed-out joy coming through. The last time this happened was June, during a trip downstate. It felt like when you have too much caffeine, only smoother. But there was still the sensation that the heart was going to burst open, that a human being couldn't know this much love and live to tell about it.
I had to buy a few items in Walmart, which sometimes can create a tentative feeling about shopping in this particular store. But not today! I walked down the aisles and looked at all the faces passing by and every one seemed to be precious beyond words. Oh such stories they each told by the shape of their bodies, the lines on their face, their smiles or frowns. When they smiled, my heart smiled back. When they frowned, my heart expanded to feel the pain of their stories and lives. But it didn't really hurt. It just felt like so much love flowing through. Like: what amazing human beings. Here in Walmart. How could life get any better than this?
I bought a couple pair of shorts for my husband, and the clerk over-charged for the items. Instead of being annoyed the only reaction that came through was, "oh cool, now I get to go to the service counter!" (now wouldn't this kind of make someone in an ordinary mood just want to gag? :) )
Somewhere along the line came the thought: Should one be feeling so much bliss when people are suffering and in pain and struggling? Isn't it almost obscene to feel so much happiness when there is also so much despair everywhere? But the happiness wasn't just happiness. It was just a love that had expanded larger than anything. It was the size of Walmart. It was as if the heart had expanded ten times: sort of like the Grinch at Christmastime. Only the heart wasn't mine. Or it was mine and everyone else's heart, as well.
So I get home about an hour ago, still pulsating. Waves and waves of bliss were still expanding. My daughter sends a chat: she's not feeling particularly happy. I say, "You want some of this? I am ECSTATIC!" She says, "ummm, sure...." and I start beaming the energy her way and suddenly she's going, "oh my god.....i can FEEL it.....oh...." or some such words. So then I think of one of her office mates and ask if she would like some, too. So she asks her, and she asks for some, too. So now my daughter and I beam it forward into her co-worker, and pretty soon her co-worker is going, "oh my god....I can FEEL it...."
And all this came about because Nicole typed the word "JOY" and Gaia was expanding with love into the universe today.....
So now I'm going to sign off and keep sending some of this ecstasy to any of you that may be struggling or hurting right now. And one of these days you'll be sending it back to me. Blessings all, from a Bliss Bunny!

LOL the moon has shifted into ARIES!!!
hehehehehe
If this is what the moon in ARIES does, I am in love with Aries…… Bring it on baby!
Awesomeness!! =D
LOLOL! it is all you, Kathy my love, you are beyond belief, you blissed-out wonder! I love you!
OMG - I woke this morning feeling that all of life was making love to me, and I was having literally a full body orgasm, shaking and laughing … and all day it was just as you described it Kathy. I have been consumed by this living, breathing, feeling passionate presence all around, in and through me today. And I could feel it calling me here, so this is the 2nd place I stopped to drink a little more of this bliss. What a beautiful oasis and such lovely people hanging out here. I see me in you, and you in her, and her in me, and him in him, and them in us … and oh, let's just dive back into the waves … laugh… and wonder as we wander! I love me some fucking ARIES too! Elisa, please let us know when we are about to be out of control and blissed this way again - PLA-EEZE!
Oh, today a friend just asked me what was up with me and then ask that I touch her. I said, “Sure, are you ready.” She smiled and I placed my left hand on her forehead and right hand on her heart and just beamed and sparkled in the ONElove bliss that was surging through me. One minute later she said, “Oh, I have enough now to give some away. Thank you!” tehetehe lafffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff hahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Laughing….Elisa….John….Nicole…..Emma…. We are ALL love!!!! Hey, are we all like this interconnected spiral that keeps going round and round? So we don't know where one starts and the other ends? And then Elisa and I got to talk this afternoon, too, after that whole Walmart blissfest.
I want this spiral to just keep going out and out and out and out into the universe forever. (can't believe John that you had such a similar experience today, we must be one Being, right?) But then again tomorrow it will be chop wood carry water. And that's OK too. Blessings, all you special beings.
It was some kind of a beautiful day, wasn't it? Good vibes every place… I'm sure there was one guy… NAH!! It was a perfect day. I am happy.
Tomorrow… who knows? I have a feeling we will make it great :)
Sherri…..you've turned into Samme! :)
Were you feeling it yesterday as well?
I am so glad.
Last night I had to meditate for almost two hours to ground it and couldn't sleep much last night after 3:30 a.m., but am still smiling (much more calmly) today.
So happy that many others on Gaia were feeling that love-fest energy. Interesting that the question of the day had to do about feeling down….
Hope you have a beautiful day, and everyone else, too.
:) Yeh I 'borrowed' his beauty for a few hours… Can't help but be drawn to the glow of love. I'm gonna 'lend it back' soon tho… Guess I got to earn my own!! lol
The question yesterday added to my bliss because I felt empowered by the end of reflecting on it. I felt good that feeling down is not an event any more in my world and that I have soooo many other people who replied yesterday that are in love with life so much, that they grab ego by the tail and turn it! That wasn't the story I used to hear before! So in truth, I was very much excited and encouraged that it can one day be the norm that we are not ruled by fear etc.
That video from Soulgarden about the coming planetary alignment to stand the Light Work generation in our power was really what started my day off, after listening to my Soul Horoscope also from Chris, and I think that after that, there wasn't too much that happened that seemed big enough to be phased by!
Of course highs and lows are going to come in the interim, but isn't it nice to know that bliss might actually be a standard alternative and not just something that we read about from day to day?
I'm ready for it!
Peace and love. Off to another beautiful day in Paradise… aka Earth.
Blessings, Sherri
Oh yes Sherri….it is so joyful to see people who choose not to be ruled by fear anymore. Who can live the bliss which is really at the core of us. The shining light that exists before we think those thoughts of fear or limit. I'm so glad that you are ready for it, and shining brightly for all of us to see. You really are beautiful, dear friend. :)
It's incredible how joy can be transmitted from one person to another. Hope that you have many blissful days, and that you continue to transmit your joy to others. Hugs.
Peace Seeker, it is amazing how energy can move. I think it's still something we can hardly fathom with our rational minds. Perhaps this is partly how prayer works. Blessings, Lenore….
joy in front of me
joy behind me
joy to the left of me
joy to the right of me
joy above me
joy below me
joy outside of me
joy inside of me
joy all around me.
thank you kathy for spreading joy and for being you.
samme
Love that joy song, Samme. So many sizzling joy possibilities….
And I am smiling because you thanked me for spreading joy…..when that's what you do so magnficently.
So may I return the blessing: thank you for being you!
Kathy~ you just challenged me to stretch beyond my general angst towards WalMart. Thank you for the reminder that mystical happenings can occur anywhere…as long as I'm open to them. {{{{{{hugs}}}}}}
Janet, I can see you & I may have had similar angst towards the WalMart phenomonen. So it's great fun to pinpoint the areas where our angst is rising…….and then bring Spirit into the midst of that! That kind of shatters everything, in a good way. :)
Just steppin out of character with you;-)
Oh gooood! A companion in the stepping out…..I like that!
Oh my GoddS, Kathy! Thank you a thousand times!!! Taking this into my GoddSCircle tonight!
Be open to receive Joyful, Shimmering, Loving Light vibrations as we are passing them on, through and around.
You are Love, and as such, Loving, and very much Loved indeed!
In Joyful, Shimmering, Loving Light,
Nell ;-)
Nell, I am SO glad you enjoyed this blog, and that you're taking it to your Circle tonight. How cool. There's so much light coming off you right now I'm almost blinded! So good to see you around Gaia, again. Blessings, friend!
What I get for not keeping up with my blog notifications – not remembering that particular day, but getting to read all the comments as well as your report, Kathy. Thank you soooo much for sharing, so people can know this experience when it happens to them, and some of the possibilities, like it is what I call contagious (transmittable directly.)
I know that we are meant to live in this state, because it is a state of Being, in fact, our natural state of Being, in fact, we have to exert effort to stay unaware of it, IMO. It is not an emotion or feeling, it is a quality of the energy we consist of. We can experience it so strongly it becomes an emotion or feeling, but in fact it includes and can co-exist even with down feelings, though not for long, as it dissolves them, because they are based on illusions, and the bliss comes from the Truth of our Being. The way you described it is the bliss/love/joy EXPANDS to include everything, even the frowns.
In fact as a minister I often point out to people that we will just have to learn how to do our grocery shopping in this bliss, even the orgasmic quality of it, and now I can say our WalMart shopping, hahahahahaha!!! And aim them at this blog!! (When the bliss and wonderfulnesses come along, my Guides are fond of saying to me and others, in mock sternness: Better just get used to it !!!)
Your description was so marvelous, I will just excerpt the parts that were special to me, that I too experience:
It felt like when you have too much caffeine, only smoother. But there was still the sensation that the heart was going to burst open, that a human being couldn't know this much love and live to tell about it.
…and every one seemed to be precious beyond words. . When they frowned, my heart expanded to feel the pain of their stories and lives. But it didn't really hurt. It just felt like so much love flowing through. …. How could life get any better than this?
Somewhere along the line came the thought: Should one be feeling so much bliss when people are suffering and in pain and struggling? Isn't it almost obscene to feel so much happiness when there is also so much despair everywhere? But the happiness wasn't just happiness. It was just a love that had expanded larger than anything. …. … Only the heart wasn't mine. Or it was mine and everyone else's heart, as well.
I know that “only the heart wasn't mine” sense; and it is and isn't yours. It is the infinite energy flowing, as you say flowing, through you. In the past I have characterized it as the River of Love flowing out through my heart, not from my heart. And I too have “aimed” that river at various folks. What fun, what joy !!!! Ssometimes I actually turn my body so the flow goes directly at them; I imagine a firehose ! (But in fact it radiates omnidirectionally.)
And yes, a lot of spiritual compassionate folks actually try to block this bliss because they feel guilty for being that joyful when others are suffering. They don't realize the transmittability of it means that the more they radiate, the less others will suffer, and the more they block it, the more others will continue to suffer. It is our spiritual duty, haha, to feel bliss.
And yes, there is that special sense that everyone is infinitely precious, including this embodiment of mine. Thank you for this exquisite description. And isn't it great that more others are experiencing this more often !! I especially enjoyed Satya-Seers's description !
Blessings and Joy,
OM Bastet
Hi again, OM, I love it when you come by to comment. So glad that you resonated with this post about the Walmart shopping day. It was a special day. I also love what you say: It is our spiritual duty, haha, to feel bliss.
And, yes, it is good to say that it is flowing through the heart rather than from the heart. Like a river, like an open channel, like a conduit. That is it.
Blessings back to you! Love, Kathy
