Goal getting

Dear Energy Lady,
My mind is filled with goals, but even when I get started on them, I never seem to reach them.   Is there anything I can do energetically to change that?

Weary of trying

Dear Weary,
This is going to sound crazy, but stop trying to reach your goals.  The key word in that sentence is "trying."  When you "try," you basically disconnect yourself from having your goals fulfilled.   Energetically, you can't both "try" and "have."  You have to make a choice.  So choose "have."

I can hear your argument--"but I don't have the goals, and my body knows that I'm lying!"  So consider this:  your thoughts originate not in your brain, but in your mental body.  By the time you're aware of them, they have come through several different dimensions.  So you actually do "have" them, or rather--they have "had" you for quite some time.  They're yours in their vibrational state; they're attached to you, and they've been around long enough that you can't help but want to experience them in physical form.

OK, now I hear you saying, "But I haven't manifested them!"  Again, yes you have--the thoughts are your proof.  What you haven't done is take action on them and/or fulfill them in the physical world.  And that's an entirely different thing.

So here's another perspective.  The problem with reaching goals is just that--there's a mental separation between where you are now and where you'll be when you complete them.  In that separation is time, effort, space, etc.  But all that is just mind junk, since in the quantum universe, time is not linear and effort is not needed.  If you don't believe me, just visualize the result out loud.  Imagine not that you are at the starting line, but at the finish line, with your goal fulfilled.  Close your eyes and describe what you see, hear, smell, taste and feel when your happy ending has come true.  By doing this, you've made your goal come true in this moment.  That's really all you need to do to start bringing in what you need to experience it in physical form.  

If that's too esoteric, here's an easy trick to try:  just find something fun to do that gets you started.  As Yoda said in Star Wars, "Do or not do.  There is no try."  Or, as Nike says, "Just do it."  But make sure you're enjoying yourself.  As long as you're enjoying what you're doing, you're resonating with the feeling of having the result of the goal.   If you're not, question the goal.  Is this something you think you should want, or something that you FEEL that you want?  If it's the former, that may be one reason why you're not fulfilling the goals.  If it's the latter, then just keep doing one more thing each day that feels great and moves you forward.

So stop goal SETTING, and start goal GETTING.  Get that you already have it, or you couldn't be thinking about it.  Get that you are an energetic being, and that "trying" isn't necessary.  Get the feeling of having the goal fulfilled. And then get going and have some fun!

Love,
EL

Yearning for More

Dear Energy Lady,
I'm a pretty good manifestor--I can usually visualize something I want, release it, and have it show up in my life in a short period of time.  But no one and no thing really does it for me.  Am I missing something?

Yearning for more

Dear Yearning,

You're so right.  No one and no thing will ever satisfying your wanting.   One reason why is because we incarnate to experience our divine selves in endless ways, so there's always something new, different or more waiting for us.  The possibilities are endless for a reason--it's so we'll never stop engaging with life.

Engagement and creation are, as you say, energy play.  It's the beginning of experiencing the fullness of ourselves.  Without realizing it, you have already stated what may be your next experience of higher vibration--nothingness.

People are terrified of being nothing and no one.  For after all, what happens if we disappear?  Do we cease to exist?  From an energy standpoint, the answer is no.  Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be transformed.  And that's not all.  You might ask why energy cannot be created or destroyed?  Because it flows from pure consciousness, or spirit.   How do we know this?  Because more and more people are coming to experience the end of "thingness" as unity.  Bliss.  Source.  All there is.  Regardless of what it is called, there is only one animating consciousness, and everyone and everything is part of it.

So instead of looking outward and trying to make more somethings, go inward and see if you can relax into no-thing and no-oneness.  According to others who have "been there" and "done that," that is the end of all yearning.

Love,
The Energy Lady

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?

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,
EL
