Harness your energy

 
Find out how to increase your positive energy and make the most of your life.

 
Every one of us has an energy field that sends out messages to the people we interact with. These fields are said to be composed of subtle matter that vibrates at a particular frequency, depending on our level of consciousness, state of mind and physical health.

When we meet someone who we feel is 'on our wavelength' or 'in synch' with us, what is actually happening is that we are intuitively picking up on the other person's energy field and finding resonance with its frequency.

Similarly, when we sense 'bad vibes', our built-in radar is picking up another's negativity or intention to do us harm.

Our energy fields change in appearance according to our moods. Just as places of worship often have an atmosphere of reverence and places of suffering often have an air of despair, we too project an atmosphere that is either attractive or threatening.

Like seeks like, so if you are not happy with the environment in which you find yourself, you need to make some changes that will send out a different set of messages.

By developing a positive attitude and paying attention to every aspect of your wellbeing, you can adjust the frequency of your energy and attract more harmonious, satisfying experiences and situations.

What can you do to spring clean your energy field?

  • Take care of your physical body. Exercise, eat a balanced diet and make sure you get enough sleep and relaxation so that you don’t give off frenetic, unstable vibes.

  • Take care of your state of mind. Your thoughts have a profound impact on your reality. Let go of resentment and anger they will damage your health. Be aware of the words you use and weed out negativity and aggression.

  • Avoid contaminating yourself with violent movies, negative people and petty situations.

  • Make your home a place of tranquillity.

  • Take responsibility for everything in your life. Realise that you can be proactive about creating situations that work.

  • Be the kind of person you want to attract. If you want a partner who is generous, supportive, successful, considerate and entertaining, you have to radiate all those qualities.
