This year seems to be full of negative energy events, dragging people down to the level of fear, an easy place for manipulation and control. For months I’ve had the feeling that what I’ve been told since January hasn’t been right or wrong true. There seems to be so much misinformation or is it deliberate disinformation flying around that our leaders don’t know what to respond to, whatever is broadcast there is something that states the opposite option. I haven’t a clue where it is coming from and equally I haven’t a clue of the intent.

What I can do for myself is to not get engaged with this mass negativity, it’s difficult as it is so huge but it is doable. Being present in the here and now certainly helps, but there are distractions, listening to people worry and moan about the situation; worrying and moaning is no benefit to yourself and the ones you love. I find social media such draw and ever so easy to scroll through all the memes of woe and worry. Sometimes it is hard to stop, I find the best solution is not to start. Another option is to linger on positive memes then the vast machinery that is watching you will show you more and more positive memes and pages. Use the machine to up your energy!

I’ve been learning about energy, the energy inside every living being and how our thoughts and beliefs drive our responses to things we see and do. Hopefully you have witnessed absolutely engaging people that when they walk into your space you instantly notice something different in the air, an engaging energy, their positive aura engaging every one in the room. You may have noticed the opposite when someone with low energy enters the room, if their low energy is strong the mood in the room becomes heavy and depressive. You and I will be somewhere in the middle, your energy neither too low or to high.

Don’t you just wish you could have a light buoyant energy where you can smile and be happy about everything. I’ll let you into a secret, and if you know me please confirm; I’m mostly living with a light and buoyant energy, enjoying life, however I do sometimes get caught out with someone’s, something’s lower energy and get dragged. I don’t like it so I do something about it, I’m getting pretty good at getting back to enjoying life.

My discovery is that something happened or someone said something in the past, then back then I did something to make myself safe, it was successful and the memory was stored somewhere safe, deep in my subconscious, waiting for the moment I could use it again. This seems a sensible thing to do however when used again it never quite works as it once did, the reason is that the situation isn’t exactly the same at the first time. We continually trick ourselves with this ploy, it never quite works out, simply, if we are using past memories for this moment the activity is congruent with the moment. For example at school you were asked to read a paragraph of a book, you knew it was your turn in a few minutes as you have worked out the turns of the other students in your class, the waiting your turn heightened your anxiety of making mistakes, as it got closer to your turn your anxiety turned up a notch, it your turn and you speak an incoherent paragraph with misplaces words and punctuation. I can feel it know as this happened to me many years ago and in this moment I can feel the tightness in my stomach and I can remember the desk I sat at.

At the point is set the rule that I can’t read aloud and need the compassion and pity of others; you will have your own story of why you can’t do something.

This rule lived with me for many years, far too many years. I tried various method to help me, for me, the only way I can control the fear is not to have the fear, go to the place without fear, be present in the here and now, this is the place without fear. It takes practice, it took me a lot of practice, do you fancy learning?

You may have read some of my blogs in the past and I’ve been offering ideas and help on being present. I’ve been stuck how to really help others. Last year I happened to find EAM on FaceBook, I ignored it but it kept reappearing, so I did the 5 day training and I was hooked, it was the missing bit to my puzzle, other modalities didn’t cut it for me, there was something missing, EAM was the missing bit and have now started my EAM Mentor certification, if you have read this far perhaps you would like to volunteer as a case study for my certification, it will only be 90 minutes of your time, if you like me it will change your life. Please let me know, don’t worry if you think too many will volunteer we can work something out. Looking forward to your posts.
