Dear Energy Lady,
I feel like I'm in a big rut-is there an energy way to get some creativity going?

Dear Bored,
It's easy to get in a rut. We think about 50,000 thoughts a day, and more than 90% are a rehash of what we thought yesterday. When we think the same thoughts repeatedly, the neurons that transmit them actually wire together in our brains. That's part of what creates the rut.
You either have to make an effort to think a new, positive thought, or try a new approach. Trying to access your creativity through your memories or experiences will just give you variations of what you've already experienced, which won't feel very creative.
So if you'd like to have a little fun, access your mental body, which is in a finer vibrational state than your physical one. Fresh ideas come to us through our mental body-things that are in the energy field around us, or what some people call our higher mind.
To access this, you need to stop thinking, at least for a little while. Some people do this through meditation. Others do it by running, sewing or another hobby that distracts them for a while. You can also do this by just going and having fun. Relax. Laugh! Just let your thoughts go.
How does not thinking relate to creativity? Because when you're in a more open state, answers to your problems can"pop in" to your consciousness. Intuitive "hits" happen naturally. You have "ah ha!" moments.
When you get these, if they feel right to you, then act on them. If you do, you'll start living a life that's not just creative, it's co-creative with the universe. There's unlimited potential in that.
Enjoy!

Your luck is right in front of you
Dear Energy Lady,
How come some people have all the luck? I'm tired of watching everyone else win the lottery, get the guy or land the job.

Dear Luckness,
It's not luck. It's attention.
There is no difference between so- called "lucky" people and you. We are all energy, and we are all connected to the same source and field of potential. No one has access to anything you don't.
But there is probably one thing that the "lucky" people are doing that you're not. They pay attention. Often, what we're looking for is right in front of us, and we don't see it because we're either in our heads or expecting it to come in another form.
So my guess is that it's your thoughts that are getting in your way. But I'm not going to advise you to be more mindful, because it sounds like you're feeling low, and what you're likely to see will match that state of vibration, which won't please you.
Instead, let's approach this playfully. Start by putting a smile on your face. Then stand up, put your feet about hip's-width apart, and put your hands on your hips, like Wonder Woman. Keep that stance, and your happy grin, for about a minute. Have fun with it-it feels great!
Then as you go about your day, say ( out loud) "Whoooo hooooo!" Every time you walk into a room or find yourself in someplace new. Then just relax and let yourself enjoy whoever and whatever's there. Ignore the things that annoy you-focus on any person or element of the situation that feels good.
What you'll discover by doing this is that life has been providing you with all kinds of things and people that are right for you- you just didn't notice them. So once you get into the idea that what you want is right here, right now, you'll see that life is not a matter of "luck," but love. It's here for you in both visible and invisible forms. Expect the best, look for it, and accept it.
Enjoy!
Love,
EL

Energizing weight loss for the new year
Dear Energy Lady,
I am determined to lose weight this year, and want to do everything I can to make it happen. What can help energize it, besides diet and exercise?
Signed,
Feeling Ready
Dear Ready,
You've already cleared a major hurdle energetically: you know what you want. Most people don't. We spend our days being a little uncertain, a little frustrated and a little disappointed, and all that does is keep us treading water. The universe can't respond to a weak signal.
But here's the trick: you don't want to lose weight. People don't like losing, and if you don't like something, you'll resist it, slowing the energy and making it even harder to do.
Instead, think of yourself as gaining a whole new level of health and happiness. So first, can you go beyond where you are now and the effort you'll be making to visualize the end result? In other words, don't create a gap between where you are now and where you want to be; take yourself into the future right now, as there is no time in the universal field. The future happens in the present moment.
Once you create a mental picture of the final outcome, allow yourself to simply feel good. Actually, make that feel GREAT. Feel great not because you reached a goal, because there was a "there" and how you're "here," but simply because you are living free of the trapped energy that extra weight represents. In other words, if the weight is literally and figuratively off your shoulders (and everywhere else on your body and your life), how do you feel? Don't focus on what you're now able to do: focus on how you ARE.
Now, once you feel great, expand it. Release the feeling--let it grow out and out and out until you can no longer tell where you leave off and it begins. Keep letting it expand until it goes beyond your house...your town...your state...your country...and even beyond the planet and the solar system. Just keep letting it go.
You may feel a sense of peace or bliss, or not. But in any case, what you're doing is releasing any limitations imposed by your own mind or experience and opening to all possibilities. You're also spreading your light so that anything or anyone that can help you can find you. So don't be surprised if you suddenly find yourself having happy coincidences that make the arrival of your new state of being easier and easier.
So eat well. Exercise. Work with your doctor or other professionals if you need to. But most of all, relax and get happy. And then set that happiness free, because if you do, it will come back to you in wonder-FULL ways that will make your goal-getting even easier.
Enjoy!
Love,
EL
