positive and negative

YES its true!  you are killing yourself! 
I'm sure that's news to you! it sure was to me when I found out, so I decided to read study and learn so that I could give life to my body!...not only body but mind and spirit!
So here's the big disclaimer:  I am not a dr, a health care provider, or anyone that is qualified to give you any answers or prescribe anything to you.  this is all just my own findings and research and experiments! (keyword, I have "experimented" and found what works best for me)  don't blame me for anything ok?  :)  
SO here we go....and prepare yourself for a long read!

Ok so where to start? 

Energy:  what is energy? I have found many definitions. 
       ~Internal or inherent power,  the power of operating whether exerted or not
       ~Power exerted, vigorous operation, force, vigor
       ~effectual operation, strength or force producing the effect
       ~strength of expression, force of utterance, life, spirit, emphasis
       ~the strength and vitality required for sustaining physical or mental activity
so there are a few of the definitions.   everything has an energy!!!  I mean everything!!!!!!   There's something else you should know about me...I am NOT a scientist!  so I cant really tell you about all the energy that's in everything :)  but what I want to focus on is this:  Energy is POWER...don't believe me? read the definitions again up there! ^
 What is power? power in a philosophical sense is the faculty of doing or performing anything.  The faculty of moving or producing a change in something.  Its also an ability or strength. 
so with that being said...is there negative power? is there positive power?  is there negative energy? is there positive energy?  If you're human please don't tell me if you answered no to any of those questions ;)
So here's a question that you may answer no to:  can you feel negative energy?   Can you feel positive energy?
some people are more sensitive to feeling it.  some also have different reactions to it. 

so...  positive energy is what?  moving, doing, performing, power, life, spirit.. in an upward. positive direction!     so when you have a negative moving, doing, thoughts and actions... is it beneficial?  what happens when you are going in a negative direction with your thoughts, power, moving and doing?
 OK Here's a thought!  think of a time when you were in a good mood!  everything seemed right in the world!  then something changed.  what made it change?  a negative energy did it!  most likely a negative thought of your own or the negative energy of someone you were in the presence of! 
don't tell me you have never been around someone who has leaked their negative energy to you! 

the energy you carry will attract the same energy from others!  If you are in a negative energy kind of day, chances are you will probably attract other people (also things and events!) that are negative!  flip it around and you will attract positive people things and events if you carry a positive energy!!  Some people who are really good at it can block the negative from others and share their positive and help others to heal and turn around their energy!

positive energy in our bodies makes is feel happy, energized, full of life, inspired, motivated and healthy. negative energy will make us feel tired, unhappy, sad, depressed, and angry.  Extreme volumes of negative energy will create sickness!  I don't remember where (I'm sure you can find it somewhere) but someone said that all our physical sickness and problems come from our negative thoughts and emotions! (I'm a big believer in that).

I am just going to insert a personal pet peeve of mine here!  I have very little patience for people who are always saying how sick they are and how hurt they are and how nothing is helping them and how life would be better if...   Seriously?!  quit complaining about it!  draw some positive energy to yourself. don't share your negative crap with us!  you are that sick because you brought it upon yourself with all your pity parties! ;)       *end of rant*  ps I still love you... just don't have the patience ;)

positive energy stems from all things that impact the mind body and soul in a nurturing manner, creating a healthy way of thinking feeling and living.  love and happiness help create positive energy which we need to build our positive energy.  in order to build our positive energy we must be aware of how draining the negative energy is!!  this is a video about the negative things we say... its pretty long (8min) but its worth the watch... lots of the little things that we thing wouldn't matter if we said it...it does! and it drains!!   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ev37bFxAIX0

you have seen or heard of the science experiment with the rice right?  you put cooked rice in two separate jars and talk nicely and positively to one and to the other you say negative and mean things to.  then watch what happens!  this is also a cool video to show the effects of positive and negative energy on water.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCHWoshp_uA 

so like it says at the end of the video our bodies are mostly water!
I would advise you to pay close attention to what you're thinking and saying, to yourselves and others! even little things  you think wouldn't matter... they do!  (yep I said it again!)

here are a few ways of building our energy
 ~~  meditation:  no it doesn't mean this: 
 

however if I had a beach close by.. I think I might make it this! 

meditating can mean many things! heres a few ideas: take a walk, deep breath, pray, a favorite hobby,  just taking a break from a busy day a could be your type of meditation. its up to you!

~~ food... yep that's right! food has the ability to change our feelings! the food that gives us the largest increase of in feelings are the ones that greatly lower our inner strength!  the high acidic, high refined sugars and processed foods!  Fruits and vegetables increase our inner strength and inner energy as they contain the stored energy of the sun!  the alkaline foods, when consumed turns into a crystalline structure in the body, improving the whole system!    I can attest to this one!  I haven't eaten refined sugars in almost 6 months...  totally life changing!!  (and for you women readers :)  I haven't had pms symptoms!) 

  ~~nature:  nature can build energy from being in places like mountains, waterfalls, forests, oceans, rivers, streams, stones, fields etc etc!!  "Study movements and sounds.  Study with a child mind of wonder and admiration"  (don't know who said it).  I can tell you this one works too!!  like a charm!!  go take a walk!

 







So on some similar note:  have you heard of grounding or earthing?  I wont go into it but here are a couple of articles worth reading!

To Be Continued........  I have more not tonight! 

Sneak peak:
 chakras and positive affirmations
 

Insomnia, emotions, music

I better not get too carried away with this blogpost... Because I have stuff in my head that goes way deeper as far as music and emotions go.... Not necessarily together.. But totally does and can go together! 

Ok so it's not like it's that late... But sometimes I feel insomnia-ish when I lay down to go to bed and I need to "get away" and just not think about what's really going on in my head. So I get a book, my laptop, my iPhone... And I turn on pandora or YouTube... And I forget about life, emotions, or the fact that sleeping is healthy. 

Tonight it happens to be pandora-easy listening! And my iPhone. I'm forgetting the fact that tears are pushing their way out... Do I have a reason to be emotional? Is being a woman reason enough?  I don't really have a specific reason no... It could be that I have been sick, it could be because its been a long day! It could be because... Because....because... It could be lots of things! 

 It could be because my violin string broke! One of my happy places, or emotional outlets is music! There is something bred into my soul that makes me connect SO deeply with music!! I am not a concert violinist or pianist nor am I a vocal performer. I used to want to be all those things! But life brought me a different direction. Plus I am still shy about things like that...."what you want me to sing like no ones watching"?  I am an amazing singer... In the shower! 

Ok so my point with this... I hope I can word it right! I have an emotional connection with music... Maybe because I have had difficulties in expressing myself  it's easy for me to think the song does it. Ok so for an example: the song "the way you look tonight"... When I was younger my mom was making dinner and my dad was playing with a new CD player we'd just bought. He put in a cd and a little while later that song came on and be started dancing with my mom! It was so cute! I remember thinking that I wanted a relationship like that! And that's also the song I wanted my dad to sing at my wedding because of that moment.  So that song will always bring me back to that moment. Oh maybe that's what it is!! It brings me to a moment in time that is special so that's why the Song is special! That's one reason I'm sure. But sometimes it's not a memory but more of a feeling or a specific person.  

It's not only that... You know?! After all this maybe this maybe that the best way I can put the bottom line is a deep connection and/or passion between my heart and music! 

So as I end this post.. The song playing is Let it be - the Beatles. I think that's the answer to my unknown emotions... That I am not facing right now.   Deborah, face it and just let it be! :) 

Thanks for listening/reading through my insomnia-ish rant!
