Dear Energy Lady,
I have a ton of stuff in my house, and it's kind of a mess. Is that bad karma?
Signed,
Buried
Dear Buried,
First, there's nothing karmic about a bunch of stuff. You chose your stuff; it's not your destiny.
This said, it's likely blocking the arrival of wonderful things that could be waiting for you. Every item in your house is made of energy, and has its own energy field. So if you have things piled up, neglected, and tossed here and there, think of it like rocks in a river-the flow has to go around them. And if it's everywhere, then the river is completely dammed up, and whatever is downstream-like you-gets starved of the flow.
Now, if you truly love all these things and they have value to you, then you may want to hire a Feng Shui expert and have him/her help you sort things out and arrange them in ways that enhance their beauty and the energy flow of your home.
But if what you're talking about are piles of laundry, unwashed dishes and old junk that has long outlived its usefulness, then you might want to get an organizer to help you sort through it. That's just dead energy that you no longer need. The fact that you're calling yourself "buried" says a lot. It sounds like you could use some breathing room.
Often, when people clean things up, other areas of their lives open up, too. It's not unusual to hear about long-delayed job offers coming through, hearing from people you haven't heard from in ages, or suddenly having a rush of inspiration. Once the energetic density clears, waves of possibility appear.
If you don't want to hire others to help you, ask some fiends or family members to join in. Give them what you no longer need-they'll enjoy the treasure hunt, and you'll get the benefit of a fun afternoon or weekend with people you enjoy.
So get some boxes and get glowing! And if you're in the Northern Hemisphere, happy spring!
Love,
EL

The three words that will change your life
Dear Readers,
People often ask me, "What is the fastest, simplest way to raise my energy?" So here are the three words that will change your vibration for the better:
1) "And." Use it in place of "but," and watch what happens. For example, if someone says to you, "How is your family?" and you answer, "They're great, but my son's not sure he's going to get into the college of his choice"--the "but" automatically stops the energy flow of "they're great."
So try changing it like this: "They're great, and my son is waiting to hear from one of his preferred colleges." Can you FEEL the difference?
Here's another example:
"What are you doing for Easter?"
"We're getting the whole family together, but our daughter can't join us."
Versus:
"We're getting the whole family together, and our daughter will Skype with us so she can see everyone."
Replace "But" with "and." Your energy will love you for it.
2) "Yes." Start saying yes to the things and people you like and want in your life. First, do it in your mind, and then watch what manifests in your life. By saying "yes" to what you want, you'll find that you'll spend less time resisting what you don't want because your energy will be flowing in the direction that feels right and comfortable to you. Try saying "yes" at least 10 times today--just make sure it's for what you want, not to please other people.
3) "Thanks." This one is obvious, and I know you know this. But it's amazing how few of us make "thanks" a regular part of both our thinking and our vocabulary. "Thanks" is not just an acknowledgement of another person; it's also an expression of gratitude to yourself, as we play a part in everything that appears in our lives. So it is, in fact, a way of blessing your own creations. What about the things you feel you didn't create and don't want--like sickness, divorce, natural disasters, etc? This is where you find your reasons to be thankful for the love that will undoubtedly come flowing your way from friends, family and strangers. There is always a reason to say "thanks," even in the worst of circumstances.
Try "And" "Yes" and "Thanks" for the next 24 hours, and see how much brighter and better you feel! And from that higher vibrational place, you will bring more radiance into your own life and the lives of others.
Love,
EL

Where is the love?
Dear Readers,
If you want to get your energy glowing, try this fun little game. It's called "Where is the love?"
You can play it anytime, anywhere. You can play it at work; when you're out shopping; even when you're vegging out in front of the TV. You can play it even when you're not in the mood, or with grouchy people. The purpose of the game is twofold: 1) to show you that live actually is all around us, all the time and 2) to show you that the connection between your own essence and the experiences you have.
To play, all you have to do is close your eyes for a brief second as you ask the question, "where is love right now?" Let your attention drop into your heart space as you do this-it's important that you play from somewhere other than your usual negative thought stream.
Then open your eyes. Look around you-it is likely you'll see smiles, kindness, respect or caring in some form. If you don't, then close your eyes again for another brief second and listen-fist with your ears, but also with your heart. Again, you are likely to hear or sense something that sounds like connection or caring.
And here's the big surprise: if you don't see, hear or sense anything, go back into your heart and feel it open into the environment around you. Remember: nothing in life is solid -it's just a dream of energy in motion that you're animating. So let the love you have and the love you ARE flow into the environment around you. As you do, think or say, "let there be love."
Ta Da! Whatever love you were looking for was inside you, so it has to be wherever you are, all the time, always and forever. And chances are once you let it out, you'll start to see more of it everywhere you go.
Love,
EL
