Getting Serious about Play

/

Hello Sunshine,

Splashing in April Showers, Pranks on April Fool’s Day, the energy of Spring Fever, and the Sandpiper. All of these have one thing in common - the idea of PLAY. You might not be familiar with the Sandpiper, but it’s the Oracle card I pulled for the month of April and it’s message is, you guessed it...Be Playful. Such a beautiful synergy, right?

It can be hard to even identify with PLAY, let alone make it a priority, especially after the year we’ve had. But to me, that’s a signal that our soul's need it more than ever. So what does it mean to be playful? Here are some prompts to get you started:

  • What does Play FEEL like to you? Maybe it’s light, curious, open, silly, fun, grateful, excited

  • What are some Playful ACTIVITIES you can easily incorporate? How about dance, music, art, sports, games, porch parties, exploration, playing hooky

  • What shifts can you make in your INTENTIONS?

    • Approaching things with a child-like or beginner’s mind

    • Letting go of failure, expectations and resistance

    • Remembering the spirit of fun, with more flow and less formality

    • Being silly just for the sake shaking loose from the stiffness of life

Embodying the energy of playfulness can bring so much light, pleasure and laughter into your life. It can reconnect you with your youth and remind you who you were here to be...a bright light, a vessel for love and joy. So this month I’ll be sharing lots of content about Play and I’d love for you to play along (see what I did there 😄).

And the first thing I’ll ask you to Play is my new Podcast!! After months of dreaming and doing, the Open to Alchemy podcast is officially launched. The podcast is my unique approach to woo + work. It’s about spiritual journeys and transformation. How people started, what they’ve learned, where they are now, details on different modalities, how spirituality practically fits into their lives. And it’s about the life of a soulpreneur, navigating a spiritual-based business alongside the very real challenges of mindset, marketing, strategy, productivity.

I would love for you to download, subscribe, rate, review and all those good podcast things. It’s available on the Apple Podcast app, Spotify and lots of other platforms.

As always, I'd love to hear from you, so please visit my website and follow me on social at Instagram and Facebook.

Wishing you a playful day,
Lauren
