I once heard a teacher use the word wonderment in her lesson, and I remember thinking, That is such a good word.

It is a word we often apply to childhood, and typically, we don’t use it to describe anything having to do with adults.

But given the state of the world today, maybe it wouldn’t be such a bad thing to start using it in this way, and allowing ourselves, as adults, to feel a sense of wonderment.

If we want to learn to allow our lives to be led by the thoughts of our hearts and start the mental and emotional journeys that are necessary to do that, then wonderment is certainly one way to get there!

So, if you want to learn how to be more in tune with the thoughts of your heart, then you should try spending some time defining what wonderment means to you and make a list of the ways you can begin living through wonderment.

If you want to put this into practice, try to notice and follow the flow of your heart. You’ll find that wonderment flows to awe, and awe flows to miracles of loving.

Thinking about all this makes me want to share a story.

What happened was, a few years ago, I was thinking about my Aunt Mae after I found out she was admitted to an Alzheimer’s ward. Many sweet memories came up, like her baking and the times I went along on shopping trips with her when we used to live within walking distance of each other.

Another childhood memory that came to mind was of the beautiful mimosa tree in her front yard.

All of these memories were attached to the emotions of sweetness and love for her, and while I was steeped in the pure sweetness of my emotions, I thought about how I would love to have a mimosa tree in my yard.

Then, life happened, and I ended up forgetting about that special tree in Aunt Mae’s yard.

Years later, I noticed a tree growing behind one of the sheds in my backyard. It did not take me long to realize it was a mimosa tree!

I had the shed removed so the tree could flourish, and now, it’s absolutely glorious!

Every time I take my dog outside or look out of one of the windows at the back of my house, I look at the tree – a miracle gifted to me – and it brings such wonderment into my heart. Then, I marvel at the possibilities that are waiting for me, and not just for me, but for all of us!

Are you ready to focus on wonderment now?

Whatever the case, I want to gift you all with this gentle guided meditation on wonderment.

As always, I am here for you and would love to assist you in living a life filled with more love, sweetness, allowance, and awe.
