"Sounds Like A Bunch Of New-Age Hooey To Me"

I love Contemplative Prayer. It is a discipline and not an easy one, either. The more I got into contemplative prayer, the more I began to study energies and auras. When I mention I meditate, some people think I dot like a Buddha on the floor with my legs crossed, arms up, chanting "Ohmmmmm." I get asked if I'm "New Age" often. I find this funny but tell people I am just sitting in a quiet place working on my listening and communication skills with God. Being discerning from an early age, I've always had the ability to "know" things about others and situations. I knew that the man in the beige suit was a jerk the moment he walked in the room. I knew you were going to call me that night. I oftentimes know when things aren't "right". I believe we are all made of energy and the energy we carry is greeted, read and received by others. My friend Barbara Haire introduced me to the term "Vampire".
A Vampire is someone who can walk into a room and suck all of the good, positive energy out by the power of their own dark energy. I know a few "Vampires" and choose to avoid them. Josie is the opposite of a Vampire. She takes her good energy with her everywhere she goes. I've seen Josie battle a Vampire and win without even being aware. I once saw an episode of Dr. Oz that featured Yoga, auras, centering and balance techniques. The woman was demonstrating a twirling move. She said that people who twirl a lot are are giving out positive energy. It goes right out of the top of their head. I knew immediately what she meant. Jo is a big dancer and twirler. I love to watch her. She's got the moves like Jagger. Remember how your mood affects others in your environment. If you are feeling low or depressed, make an effort to center yourself in a quiet place and just listen. Try to make a connection with God in some form-perhaps a prayer or by taking in the sounds around you. If you hear an audible voice, run like hell. LOL!
I hope and plan to give out positive, loving, maternal, sisterly, compassionate, understanding and approachable energy while in the East.
Until next time,
Melissa
