We tend to think of joy as a luxury—something you get after the serious work is done, a reward at the end of the to-do list. But what if joy is the medicine? What if joy is the serious work? When we give ourselves space to dance, laugh, or simply have fun, we’re not being frivolous. We’re relieving stress, balancing our inner chemistry, and restoring coherence to our system. Joy clears the emotional body and creates an inner reservoir we can draw from later, when life feels heavy.

One of the greatest distortions we live under is the idea that joy is foolish, immature, or frivolous. That joy should be hidden away. That joy belongs only to the young, the naïve, or the unserious. This is a lie. Joy is not immaturity. Joy is not frivolity. Joy is a potent, divine frequency.
