How profoundly are we affected by others and our surroundings? Deeply and constantly. Lately, I've been increasingly aware of the subtle ways in which my personal energy is amplified or depleted. For example when my house and car ( I drive a lot ) are nice and clean, I am noticeably happier and more energized. When I'm drinking enough water throughout the day my body and mind have a clearer connection and my energy flows more easily and completely. The same is true when I am exercising and resting enough. Also, I am fortunate to be energized and centered by my work. I always come away from it feeling gratitude for being able to share in other peoples healing processes. It's really amazing, the power that we each have to transform our own energy, and as a result we also transform our relationships and interactions in the world. When we take care of ourselves by clearing and increasing our own energy, we are able to radiate a centered and healing energy outward to our loved ones and the rest of the world. All of whom can benefit from such a presence.
