Last week, I talked about how when you go outside of your present moment, you are giving away your energy. Have you practiced being in the present moment this week? Although it is not an easy thing in the beginning, you will find that it will become easier and easier as your body memorizes what it feels like. Remember, this is NOT something your body is familiar with, so it will take time - it is totally worth it though!   This week, I feel drawn to talk about how YOU are giving away your energy throughout your day (other than your thoughts). I am sure you keep seeing and hearing people saying 'YOU have the power to Transform YOUR Life' - I say it quite a few times, however, it can be upsetting when you are still living the same thing day after day - with nothing changing. THAT is why talking about 'How are you giving away your energy?' is very important. You see, when you give your energy away to anything, you are giving away your power to transform your life. There is no other way to say it...YOU DO have the power, you just keep giving it away.   If you haven't listened to last weeks podcast (035 - How YOU Have the Power to Transform YOUR Life!), please go back to listen to that one - it explains a bit more about being in the present moment and its benefits.   Having a thought outside of the present moment is giving your energy away - simple as that. Let's talk about a few different ways that this can happen. You have a friend that is talking to you about what happened to her last night (which is the past). You get drawn into the 'story' and feel upset with your friend - actually matching her emotions. Neither one of you are in the present moment as you talk about what happened. First of all, whatever happened is a chance for your friend to grow in her consciousness. It is a difficult thing to wrap our human mind around NOT getting involved in the 'story' of what is going on and even more difficult to NOT talk to someone about it. For some reason, the first thing that we want to do is VENT to someone - anyone who will listen...to get things off of our chest!   What we need to realize is that not only does that take us out of the present moment, it is giving our energy to the past AND whoever we are talking to is giving their energy away while they listen to it. What would happen if we take that situation that happened and ask ourselves the purpose of it...your True Self brought it to you for some reason - what is the message in it? What is the lesson? When we can grow from the events in our life, instead of dwelling on them, we will be able to stay in the present moment longer and actually create from it! Sounds awesome doesn't it?   Don't worry if you get drawn into a situation - it happens. Just the other day, my husband had a reaction to the way I didn't shut the door properly. I actually flew off the handle and screamed at him... he was reminding me of the movie 'Sleeping with the Enemy' with his wanting the door shut a certain way. Once I yelled, I calmed myself down very quickly to bring myself back to the moment. We didn't speak for awhile as we both calmed down, which gave me a chance to work on myself about it. Once I calmed down, I realized that if I don't make sure the door is latched, the door could be damaged with the high winds. THAT was the lesson for me...I don't want the extra cost of a new door, so I will make sure the door is latched from now on. In the meantime, neither one of us brings it up and I am back in the moment.   Is it easy? NO - but I do have the tools that I need - that we all need, to bring us back to the NOW moment...thus taking back my energy. If I continue to think about it and BE angry with him about his reaction, I am giving my energy away...to the past!   Another way you give your energy away is watching the NEWS. I haven't watched the news in many years. I don't listen to the radio, read the paper or go online searching for it. Think about it - if they would talk about all the good in the world, it would be a great thing to do, but that is NOT what they do. If you want to bring yourself down and give your energy away to all the tragic things happening around the world - that is the best way to do it.   My mother was always concerned that I didn't know what was going on - "how would I know who to pray for" she would say. My comeback was always "why can't I simply send love to all?" and that was before I knew what happens to our energy when we find out what is happening. There are times that I do find out - someone that does watch the news is going to talk it up every where they go. I have gotten in the habit of simply keeping an open mind about it and sending light to the situation...then, I am back in the present moment - raising my vibration back up to a high frequency!   One of the most important things you can do for everyone in your life - even the world, is to focus on YOUR energy field - your vibration - your frequency. The more light you bring into YOU, the more everyone around you is benefiting. Spreading your LIGHT to those around you is the best thing you can do for the world. Can you imagine what the world would look like when there is no negativity to take our energy away?   I hope that you found this beneficial and that you will focus on your vibration and simply BE in the present moment...changing the world by spreading YOUR light to those around you! What a bright place we have the potential of having! Together we can change the world!   If you would like to experience a private Quantum Alignment Healing session, or would like more information about it - go to Telfer Coaching or email [email protected] for more information.
