May 2024: Energized
Do you feel energized?! Here's a practice and brief meditation for you to determine how your energetic bodies, physical and subtle, feel right now!
Working with Energy
It’s so funny…”Energized” was the theme picked for this month, two months ago! And as I sit here writing to you from my daughter’s ballet school, I’d be lying if I said, “I am energized!”
If I consider my body, I feel an ache in my right arm; a tight back and jaw; irritated, crossed, strained eyes; an over-caffeinated, sluggish mind.
However, when I take a moment to shift my mind away from how my body feels to my intentions for this newsletter, for my business, and my goals for the future…I feel excited, hopeful, focused, and energized!
Considering energy
We all took science classes where we were taught the elements of energy. But what about the essence of energy? Is this different? Or are the elements and the essence of energy the same? Is this a concept you’ve mulled over lately, or ever?
Consider…
What is your physical energetic body? The food you’ve eaten, your physical body, the blood rushing through your veins, your muscles, your painted finger and toe nails…?
What is your subtle energetic body? Your chakras, your aura, the vibrations in your veins, your mood, your mind, your Spirit…God in you?
How do you come by or receive energy? Food, love, exercise, sunlight, a swim, sleep?
How do you share energy? Hugs, positively-charged spoken words, watering plants and flowers, cooking meals?
If you were to close your eyes and imagine a current of positive energy pulsing through and around your body right now…how does that feel, what does it look like, and what will you do with this information?
Interlude…Read this!
Power vs. Force by David R. Hawkins, MD, PhD.
Interested in learning something quite different about energy and how to stay in the positive zone, as far as your mood, body, Spirit, and mind are concerned? Then pick up a copy of this book and soak up the words and ideas shared by Dr. Hawkins.
I first learned about this book by reading Wayne Dyer’s The Power of Intention back in 2018 after receiving a tarot reading where the intuitive helper suggested I familiarize myself with Dr. Dyer’s message.
I was thrilled to be reminded of Wayne Dyer, since I had become a fan of his in 2002, so it was a no brainer to re-familiarize myself with his work.
As it often happens…one book led to another, and my mind and heart were blown open after reading both The Power of Intention and Power vs. Force.
My favorite parts in Dr. Hawkins’ books are his lists! He has tested the energy of words, concepts, people, writings, and more to determine what calibrates as positive and negative in energy.
My takeaway…Surround yourself in and with the positive…Transform your life!
For a link to an article sharing more about the work and energetic calibrations from Dr. Hawkins…read all the way to the bottom (trust me, the article is worth it!)
An Offering

a practice
Pause a moment…right here, right now…
What sights, sounds, sensations can you identify around and inside your body, here and now?
Are these sights, sounds, sensations positive or negative? How do you feel right now?
If you feel surges of positive energy, how can you capture this and recreate it for yourself later?
If you feel surges of negative energy, what do you need in order to shift into a happy, peaceful, grounded (or other) state?
Write this information down…make the detailed notes, record an audio message for yourself…find a way to record your positive and negative energy…the sights, sounds, and sensations so you can remember what you need in any given moment…during times of peace and joy and in times of distress and discomfort.

Final thoughts…
You made it! How do you energetically feel in your mind, body and spirit?
Is there a difference in how you feel now as opposed to how you felt before you read this article?
What do you plan to shift throughout your days in order to charge yourself with positive energy?
As promised, here’s that link on Dr. Hawkins: Dr. David Hawkins Calibrated List. Fascinating stuff right there!
Until we meet again…wishing you lots of love and the energy to meet your destiny and chase your dreams!
And to all the mamas out there…Happy Mother’s Day! xoxo

Conceptual Changes Coming for Moving into Spirit!
Keep things sweet and simple…that’s my goal for this newsletter, for this work for you!
As we shift into the summer months, there will be fewer posts and a pause on the podcast.
I’m also working on a change for the title of this newsletter, which I believe will make more sense…as I continue to deliver to you inspiring messages and stories, and robust meditations and yoga practices…
Stay tuned as these shifts are rolled out over the summer and into the fall!
And as always…thanks so much for being here!
Let’s Meet!
Book a complimentary 30-minute 1:1 ZOOM session to learn more about how we can work together to develop your meditation and yoga practice, or to learn more about a private “looking” session (more about that here and here)…pick some time on my calendar…let’s meet, talk, transform things!
