The Bounty of Mother Earth
Recently while meditating and consciously filling myself with spiritual energy, I've felt the need to pass some of it down to Mother Earth. The imagery I've been receiving is that of the earth being depleted of it's bountiful resources and not getting anything back.

I also felt us humans as ungrounded - attached more to the values of heaven than earth, even though both are equally valuable. Earthly values are more yin than yang, and have the role of receiving. An example of this is planting a flower. The earth graciously receives the seed and the flower eventually grows out of the dark, fertile soil.

I don't consider it a coincidence that this awareness is coming to me around Thanksgiving - a time when we celebrate the bounty of mother earth. Attention, appreciation and respect are all necessary for any living being to thrive, and the earth is a living organism.

This is a wonderful time to direct appreciation and attention to the earth. Simply being aware of it and the unyielding support it provides is a good start. Remember, where attention goes, energy flows, and everything sustainable requires energy.

Have a blessed holiday!

Energy Squared
For those of you who have not heard, Einstein's Theory of Relativity equation - e=mc2 - was just corroborated or confirmed at the sub-atomic level. The theory has, of course been applied to science and used in many discoveries, but until recently the actual equation was nothing more than a hypothesis.

Here's a formula that applies to interpersonal relationships: Energy2

The big myth today is that win/lose is a choice in relationships. The truth is if one person loses, both lose - energetically that is. Conversely, when making energizing or life-enhancing choices, everyone wins.

This concept is somewhat abstract, but think about it this way - if you feed someone energy at your own expense, you lose because you get drained, and they lose because they increase their dependency on external energy sources.

But if you make choices based on inspiration, i.e., when you are energized/in-spirit enough to do them - the energy has moved through you first, before it is shared with the world: Win/Win - Energy2.

Here's the tip to remember: Inspiration is the feeling of being full of energy. Any action taken from this place fills you up and lights up the world simultaneously. Anything less than inspiration: obligation, boredom, resentment, etc. is caused from being drained and an indication that you need to fill yourself up before doing anything.

Einstein continues to feed us with his inspired discovery - now let's keep it going!

Personal Energy Inventory

Hey! The Personal Energy Inventory on my site is now interactive... All you do is fill in the bubbles and it adds up your score and gives you your results.

I'm getting a lot of feedback that the PEI is a great tool for finding out how you're doing in the energy department.

Test yourself and see how you do!

Caution!
Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.

We all have desires and dreams - it is the nature of life that we do. Life wants to create through us and knows that in order to do so we must be secure, comfortable and have the resources to make things happen.

What if the only obstacle between you and your dreams is the right dream? I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who's felt like I was banging my head against a brick wall while trying to reach a particular destination. But there are other times when it feels as if you've clicked into something bigger than you, and everything synergistically moves you forward.

I think it is very plausible, if not probable, that the "right dream" is all it takes to flow effortlessly down the river. The tricky part is finding the right dream - the one that you want in the depths of your heart - the one that will allow you to express your gifts most fully, and therefor optimally serve the whole.

Sometimes we have to wade through the dreams we think we want before getting to the one. This is a refreshing thought in a "positive thinking" world. Perhaps shifting directions is all that's required to get things moving again.

A New Day
Last night was huge. I know we all felt it, something shifted. This country and the world became a little more integrated and a little less fragmented. I know healing when I see it, and the balm of hope and redemption mended hearts and soothed pain that's been in our individual and collective psyches for hundreds of years.

One of the things I'm most excited about is the involvement of each of us in making this world a better place. Now more than ever, we need to reach our own potential so that we are not sitting on pieces of ourselves, but rather, putting ourselves our there so that light can shine through unobstructed.

It's a brand new day. The air feels lighter, cleaner and fresher. The energy of hope has elevated us into another dimension where our mended hearts are able to pump more love into our bodies and the world

Yes we did.

Don't forget to Vote!
Just wanted to post a loving reminder to vote tomorrow. My intuition (and common sense) tells me that the polls are going to be packed, so it may save time to go mid-morning or afternoon instead of before or after work.

It's a new season and I'm excited about the possibilities that lie ahead. As you all know, I'm an "Obama Mama," but I'm extending compassion and prayers to both candidates - as they are both part of the puzzle of humanity.

Nevertheless, my hopes are high that Obama will be elected and usher in an era of intuitive leadership.

Good luck and have a happy voting day!
