When I was doing my research about meditation (because I've trained myself to validate everything!), I learned that Jerry Seinfeld was a meditator and he viewed meditation as an endless source of energy that you can tap into and costs nothing. Sold. Let's take a peek behind this door to start to understand our own energy and that which exists around us everywhere.
Energy is, again, something that I am unable to really explain, because I missed all those quantum physics classes, but I deeply believe in its existence. And, I'm going to find an expert to hang around in here with us for some evidence-based knowledge. :) All is in motion and energy is required for movement - that much I know is true. In my life, energy is a 'vibe' which is short for vibration and every single thing we experience is a vibration - we are our thoughts and actions - we are energy.
When I walk into a room or I meet someone, I can feel an energy. I can't explain it but I feel it - positive or negative. Everyone sends off energy and their energy comes from inside - the less doors someone has knocked on the more negative their energy. The more open we are, the more positive energy is emitted. How does one get more open? Yup, start knocking and hanging around behind any door! As you interact with people, slow down and notice the vibe, notice what you what you feel in their presence. Trust your intuition.
And the cool thing about energy is once you start to get real about understanding your own, you notice that energy attracts similar energy. This is why misery loves company. This is why there is a law of attraction: When you think (energy) positive, then positive attracts to you. When you think (energy), then negative comes to you.
You have the power to change your energy since you have the power to change your thoughts. You first have to become aware of what your are thinking. Sounds complicated and a lot of work. It's complicated because the human condition is complicated and yes, it's work. It's the best kind of 'work' because the results will give you a positive outcome.
Here are some of the ways that I've seen energy at work:
*When I had the vision of 'opening doors' and I thought about it a lot, I made a trip to Barnes & Nobles to buy a book for a friend. On the budget aisle in the front of the store, I was drawn to a book called "The Four Doors". I have never browsed the budget aisle. Huh?
*When I went away with my sister Beth last April to Miraval, she met with a healer (in the handicap bathroom because she worked at the juice bar) and she healed her broken heart with her touch. It changed her path.
*Last fall, I was in a funk. I was not able to pin-point it to anything in particular but I sought an adjustment from a Brennan healer - the one who taught me the Mind Body Stress Reduction (MBSR) workshop. We chatted, she helped me acknowledge the little girl inside me looking to please everyone and put me on the table and did her work. I felt better.
*When I went to Miraval (noticing how much I LOVE this place?) in March by myself, I had a one hour shamanic journey with Dr. Tim and it brought me to tears. He told me things about myself that were so profound such as: my mother, my angel, was in the crib with my children when they were babies. Having four kids in 4.5 years and never being sleep deprived.....now explained!
*I had a cranial sacral session - very light touch energy work. Almost like 'what am I paying for' work! When the woman was walking me out, she asked what I did for work? I was holding way too much in my head. Nailed it. She tapped into my energy.
*I have learned more about the energy channels in our body - the chakras - 7 spiritual energy centers in our bodies. Interesting stuff!!
*I bought as many books as I could find about Money & Energy. My favorite so far is the Soul of Money by Lynne Twist.
*I just recently smudged the space above or garage to clear any negative energy. Why not?
*In an effort to align my energy, I went to two different master energy healers in neighboring towns. Primarily so I could set myself up to begin a new chapter with clarity but also to see if this energy thing was valid! They were different but their readings were very similar. One also channeled my mother and grandmother. Fascinating.
Come on in. Learn with me. Get curious about energy. It's everywhere. Tap into your intuition and begin to trust it. If you need an energy adjustment, learn why and seek it. There are so many amazing people who are out there who are just waiting to help us. Surround yourself with positivity, make a choice to reject the negativity. Seek the good vibrations with intention.
With love,
