Unlocking Abundance Through Joy: Overcoming Trauma Bonds and Embracing Divine Alignment

Today, I will write about the essential purpose of joy in a spiritual life. In particular, I will unravel how not following your joy creates blockages to Abundance. This is something I wrote about in great detail in my book The Transformational Path: How Healing, Unlearning, and Tuning Into Source Helped Me Navigate My Most Abundant Life – but I wish to approach it in a new light here. I want to reveal how we build an attachment to suffering and thus create walls where the Universe cannot give us what we deserve.

Joy and Love vibrate at the same frequency, which is aligned with the God/Source energy frequency. Living in a state of constant joy opens our hearts to receiving, makes us more open to recognizing blessings with gratitude, and immerses us in Love.

Joy is an expression of alignment with Source energy, vibrating at a high frequency that resonates with the Divine flow of the Universe. When we embrace joy, we tap into this Universal Source, inviting Abundance into all areas of life. Joy isn’t just a fleeting emotion—it is a spiritual state that roots us with infinite possibilities.

When we embody Love by living a joyful life, we become channels for the Divine Flow of Abundance. We are living in harmony with the heartbeat of the Universe, and this draws miracles and blessings into our existence. This is because joy is contagious! Joy ripples out and ends up healing the entire planet, inspiring others to pursue their own joy and live aligned with Love (Source). Our joy influences joy in others, leading to greater harmony and balance worldwide.

We can actively block or prevent abundance from flooding our lives by choosing the opposite of joy. Fear – which is the direct opposition of Source energy, as I have already explained in a previous article – is the opposite of joy. Fear will frequently manifest as sadness. For the purpose of this post, I will speak directly to sadness but you can replace sadness with whatever word that you wish (disappointment, anger, frustration, etc.).

A trauma bond is a strong emotional attachment that forms between a person and someone harmful to them. This bond often develops because the person experiences cycles of abuse followed by periods of kindness or affection, creating confusion and a feeling of dependency on the abuser despite the harm they cause.

We can become trauma-bonded with our sadness.

Our sadness holds us tightly in a place of comfort, whispering to us, “Oh my dear, you are the infinite victim in this world… Fall into me and find comfort like a warm blanket on a wet day.” But don’t be foolish; you will not find comfort here, as even blankets become soaked in the downpour of depression.

Our sadness also allows us to gather sympathy from others, putting us in a reward cycle for being in an unstable place. When you find yourself in a place of joy, you find complete balance, harmony, and peace and do not require external validation in any way, shape, or form. Sometimes, when we have become trauma-bonded by that validation, it is difficult to give it up and replace it with joy — especially when we don’t understand how fulfilling joy can be because we have never allowed ourselves to experience it. Joy is far more fulfilling than the sympathy we receive when we publicly share our sadness.

When we are stuck in a pattern with situations or individuals who do not bring us joy or whose negative projections end up outweighing the joy they bring to our lives, it is difficult to imagine how we can experience life without them (or it) and how it could possibly be any better than this. But the truth is that when we align with joy and live according to our alignment with the God energy (Love) we create a shield around ourselves that is impenetrable to low-energy (toxic) beings or situations who only bring chaos and disorder into the lives of others. It is impossible to disturb your peace when you’re in this place, and so these people no longer have power over you and how they manufacture your reality anymore. 

You are not powerless; this is yet another belief system that keeps us trapped in a cycle of dissatisfaction with our lives and keeps us away from truly aligning with joy. Even if there is a person or situation in your life that you feel you cannot 100% escape, you can set boundaries so that they or it no longer have access to your joy and cannot deplete it.

This is where the idea of creating your abundance through your joy begins. Your ability to set boundaries and protect your joy allows you access to infinite Abundance.

Saying I am helpless and there is nothing I can do about this situation – it will always be miserable, so I may as well accept it, creates blockages from the Universe giving you the infinite Abundance that you deserve. Believing you are powerless tells the Universe that you are incapable of handling its Abundance. 

Even if it seems completely out of your control, that is a lie; you are completely in control – of how you choose to respond to it. Even if it feels like fate and destiny are ruling this path, you are still the one who chooses to walk it. Or chooses not to. 

We control how we respond to what feels uncontrollable, and we can choose not to allow it to disturb our centered harmony and peace. We have the power to choose joy. We have the right to live joyful (Love-filled) lives. And we have the power to say “No, thank you, be gone,” to anything that disturbs this joy. By doing so, we become a beacon for blessings. And when the blessings begin to pour in, our joy is amplified. As we live more joyful lives, we align even further with the energy of Love which is the same frequency as Source. We open our hearts to being the co-creators of our existence, and we become generators to manifestations beyond our dreams.

This post is a short one, but it’s meant to be a powerful one. In the simplest of terms: always choose joy. It is not selfish, because it lifts you to a frequency that impacts absolutely everyone around you. It contributes to bringing the world – the Collective – to a natural state of peace, balance, and harmony.

You can reclaim your spiritual harmony and align yourself with joy. Switch your mindset to abundant by chasing your joys. Don’t let the trauma-bond you’ve formed with discomfort be the reality you create for yourself. Create your Abundance. You are Abundance.
