Dear Energy Lady,
It seems as if the world is getting more and more filled with hate.  Every time I turn on the news, someone is getting shot or blown up because of their religion or race or just because someone went nuts with a gun in a public place.   It's getting to the point where I'm afraid to go out of the house. 
Do you have any energetic advice for me?

Signed,
Scared

Dear Scared,
It's easy to see why you might think the world is filled with hate, because pain and suffering make people pay attention, and that sells papers and draws advertisers and blog hits.   Also, getting angry and upset make some people feel more powerful and alive, at least temporarily.  In the end, all hate and anger is exhausting, as it is not our true nature.

Here's a little challenge for you:  every time you hear or see something that feels like hate coming alive, look around you and ask, "Where is the love in this moment?"  You might find it in your own heart, but you are just as likely to see something beautiful, kind or extraordinary in other people or the environment. Sometimes, a door will open for you to perform an act of kindness in that moment, even if it's just giving away a smile and having someone return it (have you ever noticed that it's almost impossible not to smile at someone who's smiling at you?).

The other thing you can do is to lessen the amount of time you spend watching and pursuing the news--at least the front pages and headlines.  Newspapers are also filled with lots of happy news about people who are making a positive difference for themselves and others in business, sports, the arts, science, health and more.   The comics are always good for a laugh, too. 

As for your own personal safety, do what you can to be aware of your surroundings and make smart choices.  But if you find your fears growing too large and limiting your choices, you may want to seek professional counseling to help you unknot them.

This said, you can also increase the protective energy around you by 1) setting the intention to be safe;  2) saying--out loud--"I choose safety" whenever you leave the house; and 3) staying present in the moment and making safe choices.    Remember, however, that it is how you feel, not what you say or intend, that determines your life experience, so if you continue to feel challenged emotionally, you might want to look into tapping, The Sedona Method, The Work (by Byron Katie) or meditation to help you let go of the thoughts which are creating the negative feelings you are experiencing.

In the end, remember this:  there is much more love than hate in the world.  The proof is that throughout time, good always wins out in the end, even if it takes decades or  even centuries.    Also, if there was no darkness in the world, it would be impossible for us to both create and appreciate the light.  Just make sure you notice that on balance, good far outweighs evil, and that there is evidence of that everywhere.

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

Energy vampires

Dear Energy Lady,
I have a couple of co-workers who are really negative.  I come to work with a positive attitude, but after about 10 minutes with these people, I feel like all the energy has just been sucked out of me.  I don't want to be rude, but I can't be near these people.  Any suggestions?

Signed,
Vampire-weary

Dear Weary,
What you're describing isn't unusual.  Humans have about 50,000 thoughts a day, and 40,000 of these are framed negatively.  Every negative thought generates emotion, which affects our energy field.  Some people have very intense emotions, even if they don't demonstrate those with bad behavior.  You can feel their vibes as they come down the hall--they can be that strong.

So yes, there are things you can and perhaps should do.  Try this:
--Pause before you walk in the door of your workplace, and set an intention.  Say or think something like, "I am safe, happy and protected at work."  Imagine a bubble of pink light covering you from head to toe.  Nothing can penetrate this bubble without your permission.

--If someone is yelling at you or otherwise saying negative things that are meant to stimulate a negative response from you, mentally project a mirror that faces out, towards them.  Whatever they are saying will bounce off that and be reflected back to them.  You might be surprised at how quickly this stops a negative attack.

--If you forget to do these things, try simply staying present to the other person's negativity without taking it personally.  You can respond to whatever they're saying with things like, "it seems as if you're really bothered by that" or "Sorry to hear that you feel that way."  In other words, acknowledge them and their negativity, but don't take it on.  

--And if you're feeling particularly good, you can stay within your pink bubble and radiate out light and love to everyone in your office; to your clients, and to the world.  Become a source of love, peace and joy.  Don't judge anyone; realize that everyone is just doing the best they can with the beliefs they have.  Love them as they are.

Love,
EL

The light of love

Dear Energy Lady,
Every time I read about energy, it says, "connect to the light."  Exactly how do you do this?  What is the source?  Is there any way to stay connected?

Signed,
In the dark

Dear Dark,
I can answer this with a little story.  After God finished creating the heavens and earth, the Almighty said, "I would like all humankind to seek me, so they will have the joy of our reconnection.  Where shall I hide?"

The eagle said, "Fly with me to the top of the highest mountain.  They will never be able to reach it."

And God said, "Eventually, they will."

The bear said "Hibernate with me in the heart of the cave.  They will not find You there."

And God said, "Yes, they will.  They will learn to travel deep into the earth."

The shark said, "Swim with me into the deepest sea.  They will not come there."

And God said, "Yes, they will.  They will learn how to go safely to the bottom of the deepest oceans."

It seemed there was no place that God could hide where man and woman could not find him.  And then the sparrow spoke:

"Hide in their hearts.  They'll never look for You there."

In other words, you don't need to worry about connecting to the light because you ARE light.   And so is everyone and everything else.  You can actually see this if you learn to see the energetic field that emanates from us.  Check out Kirlian photography and you can see examples, or try this:  look at top of someone's head, as if you were staring at 12 o'clock.  Then look slightly to the right, to 1:00, and then immediately back to 12.  You might start to see a glow around the top of the other person's head.  That is part of their energy field.

But if you'd like to go past party tricks to experiencing more love, then ask yourself, "How can I express the love that I am?"  You might be inspired to write a note of thanks or praise; whip up a fabulous meal and share it with those you love; sing in the rain; solve a complex problem, or something--anything!--else that feels good and right.  That's love talking, using you as its instrument.

Our world has enough darkness.   Let your light shine!

Love,
EL

Law of Creation?

Dear Energy Lady,
I understand the Law of Attraction, but can you please explain the Law of Creation?

Signed,
Curious

Dear Curious,
Actually, this may surprise you, but I don't believe in the Law of Attraction.  The way that law is expressed and taught, it makes the universe sound like a gigantic candy machine that dispenses goodies to those who are aligned with it.  It makes it sound like good and bad things are already created and it's up to us to magnetize them into our lives.  To me, the idea that things are already complete is just silly, as it takes away our free will to create whatever it is we want.  The Law of Attraction also blames people for "attracting" disease.  As I explain below, I don't believe that, either.  In the end, my opinion is that, either way, the Law of Attraction just makes people feel bad.

Instead, I teach and believe in what you might call the "Law of Creation."  Here's why:  we live in the quantum field of all possibilities.  That field is basically what you might call "energy in waiting."  It's kind of like a plowed field of dirt that's waiting to be seeded.

In that field, energy exists in one of two forms: waves or particles.  In its unformed state, energy is waves.  But when someone puts their attention on a possibility, the wave stops moving and becomes a particle. As you direct more of your physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual and vibratory body energy towards that particle/possibility/idea, it intensifies to the point where many "bits" or particles of energy are now vibrating together.  It's like watering the seeds--at this stage, they have sprouted, but you don't know how big the plant will be or exactly when it will come up.

But it's in your field, and when watered with love and warmed by your attention, it will grow.  So maybe this should be called the "Law of Attention."  Because you created it, this vibrating "bunch" of energy is attached to you.  You don't need to "attract" it--it is not only yours, it IS you, in a new energy form.  What that form is and how it will show up in your life remains to be seen.  But the energy itself has a character, tone and intensity that reflects how you are/were when you created it, which is why the believers in attraction say that "like attracts like."  But you're not "attracting" anything when you do this deliberately--you're deliberately creating on/in the field through your intention.

So this is why it is not surprising when what you paid attention to shows up in your life.  Often, the form isn't what you expect, but that's half the fun.  The other part of the fun is that usually things show up best when you're loving the game of creating them. Again, think of it as a plant you're watching grow, and how good you feel for having planted and nurtured it.  For in the end, life is all about the source of love (you, as individualized incarnation of source), loving itself in endless ways.

Then why do bad things happen?  Do we "create" those, too?  You must remember that most people use energy sloppily or badly.  And 80% of the 50,000 or so thoughts we have every day are negative.  That's a lot of negative energy floating around.

We all have exactly the same powers to create, for good or bad.  And we all live in the field together.  So it's virtually impossible to separate yourself from all of the negative energy of fear, shame, guilt, anger, hatred, doubt, apathy and more that surrounds us all the time.  Some people are more vulnerable to it than others, and that can make them feel "dis-eased."   One of the reasons why I'm writing this blog is to try to inspire people to be more deliberate and loving in their use of energy to live their lives, because if we don't, then anything can, and often does, happen to us.

So that gives you a quick overview.  In future blogs, I'll address things like winning the lottery, attracting the love of your life and more.

For today, I send love,
EL

Can't see my way clearly

Dear Energy Lady,
I'm in a weird place.  I feel like relationships and situations are ending in my life, but I can't get clear about what is coming.  It's uncomfortable, and scary.  Can you help?

Signed,
Caught in a fog

Dear Caught,
When you know you can't stay where you are and you don't yet know where you're going, there's only one place to turn:  within.  If you know how to meditate, do so; if not, you can simply sit still and follow your breathing in and out.  Start with the intention of simply getting peaceful with where you are in your life right now, as you are.

Yes, that's right.  Just allow the discomfort and fear to be there, without trying to change them.  If you let them be, you'll also allow other states to be there as well.  And since peace, love and joy are our most natural states (think of young children), you will experience them as well.

But fear not.  Eventually, something will shift, and you will move forward.  For now, stop scaring yourself.  Live for today.  What you may be learning is to be more awake and aware in the moment, and that can only serve you well, now and in the future.

Love,
EL

Moving up the vibrational scale

Dear Energy Lady,
I just read your blogpost about the vibrations of love being 500 on a scale of 0-1000.  How do you know where you are on that scale?  And how do you keep going higher?

Signed,
Stuck at the bottom

Dear Stuck,
For the best description of the scale of vibration, I recommend you read any of David Hawkins' books.  Today, I'll be referring to "Transcending the Levels of Consciousness: The Stairway to Enlightenment." It was published in 2006 by Veritas Publishing in Sedona, AZ.

On page 33 of this book, you will see a vibrational scale.  Dr. Hawkins also calculates the rate of happiness at each level.  I put these in parentheses by each vibrational number.  Here is what the scale looks like:

Shame 20 (1)

Guilt 30 (4)

Apathy, hatred 50 (5)

Grief 75  (9)

Fear 100   (10)

Desire 125   (10)

Anger 150  (12)

Pride 175  (22)

Courage 200  (55)

Neutrality 250  (60)

Willingness 310  (68)

Acceptance 350  (71)

Reason 400  (79)

Love 500  (89)

Unconditional Love 540 (96)

Joy 570 (99)

Peace 600 (100)

Enlightenment 700-1000  (100)

The book goes into detail about each vibrational level, including how to transcend it.   So while you may be able to guess where you are at any given moment, I would recommend you read the book to gain greater insight.

Each level ties to emotions and states of being.  Part of the process of evolutionary growth is becoming aware of where you are and where you'd like to be.

So many of us "try hard" in our lives.  We work long hours.  We sacrifice for others.  We are victims of circumstance, heritage and a hundred other things.   All of this resists the natural flow of energy in our lives.  One of the reasons why I write this blog is to suggest that there is a better way for us to truly live and enjoy our lives here on earth, and that is to live as the loving energy we are.

What I'm saying is that today is as good a day as any to open to love.   One of the ways we can do that is to be a witness to the around us.  Today, I saw love in many places: when a woman on the freeway honked at me gently because I didn't see her when I changed lanes.  Her safe driving saved both of us a lot of hassle.  When I was walking in my office building, and a man far ahead of me noticed I was carrying several items and held both doors.  When our office administrator said good morning and gave me a bright smile.  When I watched a TED video over lunch of a young poet who spoke of what it feels like to be bullied, and how he survived.  When I saw a news story of people on a beach in New Zealand making a human chain to save the life of a 12 year old boy who had swam out too far.  When I received an email response quickly to a request I made.  When I walked in the door and saw my darling husband already making dinner.  When Ed Asner was complimenting Valerie Harper on an entertainment show.  You get the idea.

Again, you could call this a gratitude list, but I just call it "allowing love to reach me."  Many people are willing to give love, but they cannot or will not receive it.   Receiving love makes you peaceful, and it inspires you to give more of it.  For when you do it, you'll notice that in spite of a small number of people doing some things that suggest they have disconnected from love, you'll see far, far more of people being smart, kind, thoughtful, gracious, intelligent, careful, loving, generous and more.

Shift your focus.  As you do, you'll raise your vibration with little or no effort on your part.  Happiness has always been yours, no matter what level you're at right now.  To know and experience more of it, simply let go of the lower vibrational states, and you'll naturally rise to the next level.

Love,
EL

The vibrations of love

Dear Energy Lady,
I want my life to be the best it can possibly be.  I guess you could say I'm a bit obsessed with continuous improvement.  And mostly, things do get better and better for me.  The problem is that I don't feel any different when they do. Shouldn't my vibrations be rising as my life improves?  And if they do, shouldn't I feel lighter or brighter or something?

Signed,
Still in the dark

Dear Dark,
You don't say this as such, so I'm going to take a guess at something.  You say you're on a mission of continuous improvement, so I'm wondering:  are you hyper-critical of yourself?  My guess is that when you look at what you have, you think, "Ok, that's good for now, but what's better than this?"   So this may be one reason why you're not getting any energy from any of your creations.

Look at it this way.  When God created the heavens and the earth, God didn't say, "Oops!  Forgot the land and the water!"  No, God blessed the creation and said, "This is good."   So before you move on to the next creation, bless the one you just finished and say, "This is good."   Better still would be if you could say why you think/feel it is good.  And better yet if you can relax for a little while (minutes?  hours?  days?), letting all those good vibes soak into you before moving on.

But if you simply can't relax ever, then try it this way:  when you look at what you created, even for an instant, look not at what it is, but rather, why it is.  For everything we create is to help us learn and experience more about love.  So look at your creations from your heart, not your head.

If you've ever been in love, you know that when you fall in love, you see every good thing about the other person.  You don't think; you feel.  In the moment when your creation comes true, experience it with that vulnerability, that wonder.  The moment will pass and so may the feeling of love, but the vibrational imprint will be there.

Remember, too, that everything in your life is light, and the origin of that light is love.  So in essence, everything and everyone is love.  And love is a very high vibration--on a scale of 1-1000, it's about 500.  David Hawkins, MD, PhD, has written about the fact that for every person who vibrates at 500 or above, 750,000 people are positively affected.

So if you really want to things to be better, start loving it as it appears before you each and every day.  There's no end to love, and nothing to "improve."  Just love to whatever extent you are able, in any way you know how.

Loving you,
EL

Reality versus dreaming

Dear Energy Lady,
I have a problem that I bet is shared by many other people.  I want and am ready for a new job.  The challenge is that I want the transition to be smooth, and right now, I'm in a low vibrational state because I'm not hitting the numbers I'm supposed to.  How do you reconcile an calendar empty of client delivery and low revenues energetically with a full calendar and high revenues?  I'm currently living the nightmare, and want to be living the dream.

Please, please help!

Signed,
Seeking good vibrations

Dear Seeking,
You're right--many people share this problem with you.  They want things that come from high vibrations to happen, but they're stuck in a pattern of low vibration.  And you're also right when you say you can't create high when you're feeling low.

So what can you do?  Several things:
1) Don't fight the low feeling when it occurs.  Remember that doing so only gives it more energy.  When it comes up, try to observe it, without judgement.  Just accept that it is there.  Then use it for contrast.  Simply say, "Thank you for showing me how I absolutely, positively do NOT want to feel."  Then release it.  This should put you into a state of calm, at least for a few seconds.  Just this alone might shift things for you.

2) From that state of calm, open your heart and give yourself some love.  If you've been hard on yourself, focusing on the negative or what's missing or just feeling bad for what hasn't been happening, you've basically been allowing yourself to short-circuit your own good.   You'll need some kindness to start to change things.  Close your eyes and either feel the angels or your spirit guides bringing you love, or opening the door to your heart and letting out the love held there, flooding your entire body. Let love surround and infill you.  Stay in that state for as long as you can.

3) Finally, if you'd like to do something tangible, say, I'm ready to create something wonderful for myself and all those who work with me."  Then create a calendar with exactly the number of appointments you'd like to have.   You don't need to put in particular names, but rather, think of blocks of time you'd like to fill.  Then you can fill in the blocks either with "clients" or with a block of color that represents the feeling you get when you're serving clients now.  Each time you look at the calendar, simply say, "my calendar is as full as I want it to be with client time."  If you find yourself resisting or not believing this, all you have to do is say, "things are improving for me every day."  If you don't believe that, take the calendar, wrap it in prayer, and say, "this or something better, please."  Then release it.

In any case, remember this:  if you're looking for good vibrations, look no further than to yourself.  They exist in you, as you, right now.  It's just your negative thinking and focus that is hiding them--just like a cloud hiding the sun.  They're not in some other dimension or place.  They're right here as you read these words.  See if you can feel them...even just a little bit.

The more you enjoy the feeling, the more the other will fade away.  So, to whatever degree you are able, stay focused on love, not fear.  You will soon become a vibrational match to a new workplace that matches the love you're now giving forth.

All is well, my dear.  Truly--all is well.  Remember that.

Love,
EL

Where is love?

Dear Energy Lady,
I have been searching for love as long as I can remember.  I've had relationships, and some of them were really good.  But even when I'm in a great relationship, I find myself wanting more.  So I keep searching...for my soul mate?  Lasting happiness?  Joy beyond measure?  I really don't know.  It just feels like I should keep looking.

Am I crazy?

Signed,
Searching

Dear Searching,
No, you're not crazy, at least not from an energy standpoint.  But it may not be romance alone that you're looking for.  Love is found in relationships, but not only with one other person.  As Van Gogh once said, "The way to know life is to love many things."

We are in relationship with everything in our lives--every person, every object, every situation.  So, in essence, we are in relationship with ourselves, both as the human beings we are, and with what we have attracted, accepted or encountered in our lives.  The quality of each relationship depends upon many factors, but at least one is how much we're willing to be present to the love that is in it or could flow from it.

Some people feel that objects will never love us back, but the fact is that we do receive love from anything that opens our hearts and helps us feel alive or peaceful.  People fall in love with running, model trains, a wonderful bottle of wine, collectibles, chess, art, music, dance, sports--you name it.

In human relationships, there are as many kinds of love as there are people.  There is a wonderful movie called "Love Actually," that takes a lighthearted look at many different types of love and notes at the end that love actually IS all around us.  You can see love everywhere, from the brightest to the darkest moments.  In fact, the latter is when some of us are the most vulnerable and open to love, and it pours out of people in waves of support and caring.

The reason why we fall in love with love is because love is where we come from and what we are made of.  All energy flows from consciousness, and consciousness, spirit, source energy--whatever you want to call it--is all love.  If you need proof of that, read any of the many books of people who have experienced the higher levels of vibration, either through near death experiences, enlightenment or simply letting go of fears and blocks.

But you don't need to "go to the other side" to feel what you're seeking--the beauty of a smile you know is meant for you.  The happiness of a friendship or a marriage that lasts for decades.  The joy of discovering the world anew through the eyes of a child--even one that is not your own.  The enjoyment of a radiant sunset.  The satisfaction of a hot cup of coffee on a cold morning, a job well done, or a great book that you can't put down.  The enthusiasm when your favorite sports team is winning.

As for romance, there are probably at least 100 people with whom you could create a nice life.  If that is what you want and are not finding, then question if you're really looking to love or to be loved, and under what terms you're willing to give and/or receive that love.  If your conditions are too limited, it may be difficult to find and/or keep.

Just remember: there are endless ways to find love, right here on earth.  So keep seeking, and enjoy your treasures!

Love,
EL

What are some energetic practices for work?

Dear Energy Lady,
Like millions of other people, I feel like I am overworked.  I like my work and am happy to have my job, but feel like no matter what I get done, it's never enough.  Is there any way I could use energy to get more done, or get things done faster?

Signed,
Need some good vibrations

Dear Good Vibes,
Yes indeed--there are many ways you can use energy at work to improve your results.   You'll want to look at this Fullistically--that is, with all of your energy bodies aligned and working in multiple dimensions simultaneously.  Doing so will increase your likelihood of having coincidences, signs, intuitive hints and manifestations show up to support you in whatever you are doing.

So how do you do it?

Start the day in the highest vibrational way possible.  Smile while you're still in bed.  I know it's hard, but  just lay there for a second or two after the alarm goes off, stretch and get the night kinks out, and make a big, toothy grin.  If you think it's funny, laugh--that's the idea.  As you've heard me say before, it's impossible to feel bad when you're smiling, so you're getting your good vibes up before you even get out of bed.

Then, as you go through your morning routine, stay as present as you can.  An easy way to do this is to say out loud (or mumble to yourself) whatever you're currently doing.  Ex: "Now I'm making coffee, and smelling the aroma as I open the can." "Now I'm making my breakfast, and it tastes good."  "Now I'm putting my darling baby in the car seat to take to the childcare center."   What this does is keep you out of worrying and fretting about all the things you have to do later in the day; worry not only lowers your vibration and blocks the flow of energy; it makes you magnetic to things you don't want, like hitting every traffic light or forgetting important papers at home.  If you don't want to play the "now" game, then sit down and make a list of everything you have to get done so you can get it off your mind, at least a little.

On your commute, listen to music that makes you feel happy.  I had a friend who loved German march music, and would drive with his convertible top down and the music blasting, even in the dead of winter.   He was always in a good mood when he got to work, revved up and ready to go.  Personally, I like spa or coffee house music--both keep me in a happy, relaxed mood.  Just stay away from the news, which is always bad.  (Listening to the traffic reports is ok--can keep you from hitting a traffic jam, which would only annoy you.)

At work, smile at everyone you meet, even if you have to force it.  Stay away from energy vampires or truly negative people--send them love...from a distance.

When you get to your work site, simply say thanks for the opportunity to be of service, either as a form of prayer, or just in your head.  If you have a few seconds, you can drop down into your heart space and say it--it's more powerful that way.

With each thing on your To Do list, set an intention before you begin working on it.  "I intend to get the data for this report reviewed accurately."  "I intend to be 100% safe on the production line."  "I intend to listen thoughtfully in this meeting."  Choose how you want to be, and you will be able to maintain a higher vibrational state.

Once your vibrational state is higher, you'll likely get intuitive "hints" as the day goes on.  Follow these--they're coming from your higher vibrational bodies, and are likely to help you.  You know it's not your ego talking if following the advice you're sensing makes you feel peaceful.  Ego always makes you feel powerful, different than others or separate in some way.

To manifest "coincidences" that will help you get your work done faster, decide what you'd like to have happen.  Be specific about what would be delightful.  Then say it aloud (and it's critical that you do speak the words and not simply think them, since speaking 1) announces to yourself what you believe and want;  2) improves your health, since your body believes every word you say; and 3) launches sound vibrations that carry a character, tone and intensity.  These vibrations are magnetic, and will attract like energy in the form of people and other resources).  

It is important to remember NOT to say, "I NEED this!"  or "I WANT this!"  If you do that, you just launched the energy of needing and wanting, and you'll go on needing and wanting.  Instead, say something like, "I happy welcome and accept all the loving support that is here for me now that allows me to ________ (finish this report, stay safe on my shift, listen thoughtfully in my meeting, meet this client's needs, etc.).  

If it's clients or sales you crave, you can also welcome them:  "I happy welcome all clients that would benefit from working with me; who value and appreciate the talents that flow through me to them."

Finally, choose an hour you want to leave work, and at the appointed time, put away your work and leave.  Stand at your workplace for just a moment, and bless what you have done there that day.  Remember that when God created heaven and earth, the divine did not say, "Oops!  Forgot the land and the water!"   Instead, God blessed the new creation and said, "This is good."  So all you have to do is say, "Good work today, _______ (your name).

Any of these practices will raise your vibration and make you more magnetic to the help you seek.  Using all of them (and there are more--I'll try to talk about these in future blog posts) aligns your energy bodies and keeps you well connected to the field of all potential.   The more aligned you are, the more you will draw love to and through you in ways you simply cannot imagine.

One note:  If you're feeling very negative, angry, frightened or frustrated, don't use these practices.  Instead, simply acknowledge the negative and say, "I accept that I am in a low vibrational state right now and love myself as I am."  Fighting negativity only gives it more power.  It needs love, not rejection.  And if you are willing to feel differently, add, "I am ready to feel better, and welcome all resources that will enable me to do so."

Have fun!

Love,
