>Make Changes Now: Experience Energy Through Body Scanning In The World, cont'd

Excerpt from Positive Energy © 2005 by Judith Orloff MD Three Rivers Press

You can practice sensing positive and negative energy everywhere. Have fun. See what you find. The secret is to stand within two feet of someone—whether a coworker or shopper in the mall—and notice how he or she feels. Ask yourself: Am I attracted? Repelled? Unsettled or at ease? Honestly assess: Do I feel more robust or worn out?

Establish a baseline for each person. You’ll quickly know who nurtures you. If a loved one is in an arduous phase, try to cut him some slack. But also pinpoint those who consistently drag you down. Then, with a more realistic understanding, you can take better care of yourself.

I’m a big fan of being proactive in generating positive energy. The First Prescription’s formula for success: Do whatever makes your inner light brighter. In other words, try to treat yourself and everyone else with love.

It’s a constant process of tuning in: finding people who support your spirit, trusting your gut-centered decisions to guide you.

Then you won’t end up in a relationship that looks right but feels wrong. Or miss the chance to meet a loving man or woman because he or she doesn’t fit some preconception.

When you’re with trying people, aim for the high road; find common ground rather than inflame negativity.

The care with which you approach life is intuitively evident in your energy field.

We can feel each other’s love: that’s the great attraction.

Spread openheartedness around. Stay true to your intuition. Your positive energy will blossom.
