Our bodies are an intricately complex system built for the essential task of generating and dispersing energy.

…When you think of life as a life form, living beings are merely bundles of energies both positive and negative. A considerably peaceful and positive person has an aura of good vibes in their presence. They know themselves well. They are at peace with who they are, strong in their faith in something bigger than themselves and want to be of service and joy to others. Do you remember the JC Penney commercial “don’t just get there, arrive”? One can truly learn from this. I have learned that it is of utmost importance to live intentionally and to be aware of one’s thoughts, words and actions. How we resonate with others affects absolutely everyone.

Here are some helpful tips to “up your good vibes“:

• Clear your mind of all distractions by finding a quiet, peaceful and uncluttered space (a room, a greenhouse, a cabin, a treehouse, etc)
• Open your heart and think what it might be like to “live in anothers’ shoes”
• Evaluate your thoughts, beliefs and actions in all of your current relationships
• Always, always try to see the good in every situation
• Learn from mistakes: these are great ways to learn, after all, after the first “miss-take,” there’s always room for a “second-take,” by getting up, picking up the pieces and trying again in a different way with an enlightened and adjusted perspective
• Develop good habits (actively listening, taking the others opinion in consideration, valuing each others time, ideas and suggestions, etc.)
• Give up and eliminate bad habits 
• Never forget to be grateful for all people and blessings in your life, don’t take anything for granted, instead practice gratefulness and appreciation regularly

What Resonates through Us?

What’s within us, is projected out

All people carry thoughts and beliefs in us. Do we evaluate these thoughts before we let them take over and just let it be? We all have a choice to hold up those ships that carry “access baggage,” in other words, we can stop negativity before it takes root. Once we become more aware of our thoughts (it becomes easier when practiced regularly), we are then able to evaluate and re-evaluate them, analyze which of them are “bad,” and let them just “sail by” on a stream away from us.

In our Western world, society has become more and more a culture of sameness, who is even still paying attention to all the “likes?,” or wait – it’s whoever is famous that “liked” something gets many more likes until someone realizes that – hold on, they did something wrong now, so what now?

Be aware of your thoughts, let them be your own thoughts because these are the same thoughts that turn into beliefs and develop into actions. We all know what’s right and wrong because it’s engrained into our very being.

How do you resonate with others?

Resonance begins with tone, your clear and positive tone of voice is an important factor in successful communication. If you slur or speak very low, your voice could be drowned out by all the other white noise. Part of our communication is compiled of speaking and listening and the listening becomes more and more difficult when there are so many distractions around us. However, when active listening is practiced, a harmonious relationship can grow.

Researchers have discovered that to have a genuine connection, active listening is one of the most crucial- and transformative skills in building deep and lasting relationships. In a world where speaking has dominated our daily attention through videos and media, active listening has become more challenging.

Our words are much more important than we think. Negative and positive words are truly felt by those that receive them as they usually produce a corresponding reaction and reply from the other person. Once someone explained bad and good words through the metaphor of an apple and a diaper. So, why wouldn’t we all want to “talk apple?”

Some words carry meaning from a persons childhood or an experience they had in their life. The other person you’re talking to could have positive or negative experiences associated with certain words that you choose to speak.

As we all associate positive and negative to our words, all words can be seen as both as well. For example, a diaper is actually also a good thing because the invention of a diaper itself sure helped many Moms in the world!

Last on the list, are our non-verbal ques that resonate. People associate some non-verbal language as ques or signs. One could feel happy and accepted, or threatened and rejected and some show this without words. In communication, we often show how we feel by our expressions of joy or despair, sadness or gladness. “Peace is in a smile.”

Some people can just “capture the room,” and these are the kind of people that resonate well with others. You can spot them from a crowd, notice them across the room and one can almost sense their being in the room. They carry a strong presence.

…Back to the bundles of energy…

 Here’s insight from Oprah:

“Please take responsibility for the energy you bring into this space.”
I realized that for every relationship, not only do I have to be accountable for the energy I bring, but I also have to take responsibility for the energy that I allow from others. I understand that strengthening the bond in any situation is impossible if you’re not surrounded by energy that lifts you up.

Be intentional with the energy that you create for yourself and others, have patience and compassion with others and keep your space free of negative energy.

Blessings,

Evana.
