Re-Experiencing Happy

I have been going through some very big changes in my life. Consequently, there has been some sadness with the loss of certain things. At times such as these, it becomes increasingly important to do what I can to keep my energy/frequency at a high level. Lately, I've been doing a very simple exercise which helps me find my happy place once again.

I sit back in a quiet place, focus on my breathing a few minutes (which helps me keep my spirit within my body and in the present), and begin to ask myself some questions. I begin with, "What memories do I carry inside myself where I was happy?" I then progress to questions like, "What was it about this experience specifically that made me happy?" I try to ascertain if it was due to the people I was with, the type of experience, whether I felt good about myself in that moment, and other sorts of information that might be pertinent to happiness.

Once I have identified a happy experience, I use my imagination to put myself back into that moment. I see what was around me. I hear the sounds. I remember smells and tastes and any other sensory memory my mind can identify. Then I allow myself the luxury of sitting in that moment of bliss. Time stands still as I bask in the feelings of that moment. Within a very short time, I have regained my sense of happiness. Depression leaves and I feel much more energetic and empowered.

We all have the ability to raise our frequencies in times of pain or sadness. All it takes is a little focus and a few good memories to make you understand that life can be good again. Re-experiencing happy can be a way of life if this is what you choose to create. The choice is always yours.

What Goes Around

Yesterday at work, I got a bit of a compliment I wasn't expecting. I was in process of returning items to various departments in the store I work in. I do try to make sure I am leaving items in the correct place. Otherwise, someone else has to take the trouble to sort them out and return them to the right place. Besides being more efficient, it's just easier on everyone involved. I was thanked for giving the correct items to the person who was trying to put them away. When I commented back, I was told that not everyone is happy to take things to the right place. I guess I knew that already. It drives me nuts when people leave stuff in my department that belongs elsewhere.

A long time ago, I learned that the energy I create in the world always comes back to me. When I am mean and nasty to people, it eventually comes back to bite me in the butt. That's why I work so hard at treating people the way I want to be treated. I want the pleasant stuff back. It works for me, too. I am well-liked and well-respected wherever I go.

What energy do you create in the world? The easiest way to tell is what energies confront you on a daily basis. Do people like you and treat you with respect? Do people appreciate the job you do? Do you find yourself receiving good things wherever you go? If not, it is time to question why! Ask yourself, "Am I putting good energies out into the world--energies I want to receive back?" If you are not, the answer may be that you need to change your energy/frequency so you are producing something more positive.

There are times when you may be putting out positive energies but not getting the results you want. Sometimes we can get into a mode where we are nicer than the people around us. Change is needed here, but it is not necessarily in how you treat others. The change that is needed is in how your see yourself. There are times in life when we subconsciously believe we deserve to be treated poorly, so we continue to take terrible treatment. Fact of the matter is, no one deserves to be treated poorly. In this scenario, self-esteem work is necessary to change the situation. Think about it this way; we all deserve to receive the energy we put out into the world. If you carry a thoughtful and loving frequency you deserve to receive that back!

What goes around really does come around. Make sure you are the positive frequency you want to see created in the world. When you change your energy, the world around you also changes. It is up to all of us to take responsibility for what gets created.

Light Attracts Darkness

Ever feel like you're living under a black cloud? Are there days when it seems the more light you shine the darker the world around you gets? It is not your imagination! The simple fact of the matter is, light attracts darkness!

Picture a heat-seeking missile. A target comes into range and the missile is sent. The missile itself does not really have a mind of its own. It just goes to the source of the heat that it is programmed to seek. 

So too does darkness seek light. While I do believe there is an intelligence that has sent it, the darkness is really just doing what comes naturally. It will either extinguish the light or be illumined by it.

Here are a few things you can do to keep darkness at bay:

1. Ask for protection from God/Source/your angels/your higher self. Visualize yourself surrounded by your angels or an impenetrable white light barrier that is impervious to darkness and or/changes the frequency of darkness.
2. Surround yourself with high vibrating people. There are people who are obviously bright lights who have also learned to dispel darkness. Hanging out with those people will allow your frequency to tune into theirs and take on more of that frequency.
3. Use meditation to regularly tune in to Source energy so you become that frequency. Taking the time to connect into your heart will keep you centered on positive energies.
4. Fill yourself with good thoughts and things. Read positive books. Listen to positive, uplifting, healing music. Watch shows that make you laugh or cry happy tears. Spend time in the company of those you love. Anything you can do to keep your vibration high will dispel darkness.
5. Find ways to uplift others. When you actively seek to help another, your own energy changes for the better. You become a higher frequency and are better able to handle and transform the darkness.
6. BE love. Practice giving and receiving love with those you come into contact with, both with those you are close to and those you would rather avoid. Love is one of the most powerful tools at our disposal that can infiltrate and change darkness. Use it daily.

You have the power to change the course of your life any time you choose. Be intentional about keeping the darkness at bay and it will flee from you.
