I hope you can follow what I'm saying, I'll be the first to admit that I'm not good with words. :-) But have been told that I have a positive effect on people.
I definitely have learned that having a positive attitude/outlook will make the bumps in life easier to get through. Not that I don't have my "off" times, but I do try to remind myself that in the past everything has elements of goodness if I can endure long enough to recognize it. I believe that the basics of Love will turn even negative situations into positive lessons and in this way, there is no negative. For example, my back injury at such a young age, lead to a life with time and motivation to learn how to be positive and being available to others who may need me. If not for "slowing down", I'd probably still be doing hair and having more "surface" relationships. I definitely would rather have a few extremely close friends than 100 acquaintances who wouldn't even think about coming to vacuum for me after a surgery. Just an example.
I believe that Love is actual energy and that prayers are energy created and projected outward. Here's how I learned to "Create and Project" Love: I think about a time where I was extremely happy until my chest (soul) feels warm, then I focus on spreading that throughout my body and imagine a white glow around me. Since I don't know what's best for others, I usually just ask that the Love is sent to those who need it most. There are times when I focus on a specific idea/person because they are need of extra prayers.
I would love to hear your thoughts about Love being energy...sign my guestbook to share. let me know if you have a site that I may link to. In the future, I will add more interactive items on this website so check back often. Create a positive energy around yourself and it's sure to make someone else's day better!
