Managing Your Creative Energy

As we are learning to operate within a new vibration, following the Earth's shift, one thing that people are consistently noticing is how rapidly their thoughts become reality. As creative beings, we are manifesting at an even quicker rate than before. This new vibrational plane we are in allows for more rapid manifestation, which is prompting us to really learn how to focus our energy more mindfully. Below is an excerpt from Shift: New Paradigms for a New Earth, which speaks to this idea of learning how to become more mindful of what we are 'putting out there'. The sharing of this felt timely, as I myself have been noticing this rapid manifestation and consequently the need for more responsible energy management, as well as hearing others comment on the subject as well. We are in a new vibrational space and we are learning how to function within it. I feel this is one of the most important lessons we can gain on this ever-expanding path of awareness and growth. In Joy!

"Your emotions are creative energy and have a creative effect on the outer world.If you are hoping to create particular results (let’s say peace) then it will be necessary for you to align your emotions so that they are an energetic match to peace. Anger and fear do not create peace. History has showed you this. Love and tolerance do support peace. You can think of this in terms of physics. Like energies attract like energies and result in creation. Since every expression of emotion you have carries its own energetic vibration, then it stands to reason that if ‘like attracts like’ your emotions need to be in sync with the vibration of peace if that is what you are trying to create.

Let’s look at this on the individual level, not global. Say you want peace in your romantic relationship with your partner. I’m sure you can feel intuitively which set of emotions will assist you in creating a peaceful reality: jealousy, rage, mistrust, lying, envy or, love, kindness, trust, faithfulness, appreciation. Now suppose you are generating these emotions that sync with peace and your partner is not. Since you are co-creating your relationship reality with your partner you will not create a genuine sense of peace and well being in the relationship if only one person is on board. You may succeed in creating a peaceful inner reality for yourself, but for the relationship of two people to rest on a solid foundation of peacefulness, both partners must be contributing energetically to that.

It is important then, in both your personal life and as a part in the larger community, to monitor what kind of energy you are expressing on a day-to-day basis. Do you walk through life angry, irritable and frustrated and then get mad that life feels frustrating instead of harmonious? It is imperative that you take responsibility in your life for creating the kind of life you want.

A very common mistake that people make unknowingly occurs when they are watching or listening to the news, or are otherwise receiving information about current events. Let’s use the example of Sally. Sally very much wants peace and love to prevail in the world. Sally is a peaceful and loving person and expresses these energies often as she goes about her day. Then Sally sits down to watch the news. She hears about another car bombing, a terrorist cell that is growing, a weakening economy, and any number of local shootings. Now, without realizing it, Sally is going to contribute to these situations, one way or another, by her response to them. Because Sally very much cares about peace and wishes the world would stop being such a violent place, she gets angry and disgusted at this news broadcast. She curses and directs her anger at the ones who ‘just aren’t getting it’—the ones, she feels, who continue to contribute to the problem, making peace impossible. What Sally does not realize is that her energy is creative and by adding anger and frustration to an already inflammatory situation, she is helping to perpetuate exactly that which she wishes to cease! If Sally truly wants to contribute to the healing of these situations she needs to send healing energies to them. Anger and frustration are not healing energies. Sending love and compassion to these situations contributes to their healing. How do you send love to a terrorist? Remove the label.  Instead of labeling one as a “terrorist”, think of them as a misguided child of God. All beings are expressions of the Divine. Those who have lost their connection so profoundly that they feel it is noble to blow up cars and buildings need healing energy. They do not need even more energy of anger and hate! They are already running on ample supplies of those energies.

This shift in thinking and feeling may take some practice. But if it is hard work for you, then you have an indicator where you need some healing. Healing (love) is needed anywhere and anytime there is a withholding of love. This is a big shift in your evolution—to be able to move from anger to love. Pat yourself on the back every time you succeed. If you are faced with ten opportunities through the day to send love instead of anger to a person and/or situation and you succeed two out of those ten times, celebrate those two successes! Celebrate them and relish them and focus on those two scenarios where you expressed a loving response in order to generate more energy towards future expressions of love. Every time you have a choice and you choose love, celebrate! It is counter-productive to stew on the eight opportunities you had and did not allow love to prevail. When there is love in your life, focus there and you allow it to grow. Use the other opportunities as tools for learning. See where you could have responded differently and then let them go.

Your emotional responses to people and situations are ingrained, that is you have likely been following an emotional response pattern for most of your life. These patterns can be largely based on fear—fear of judgment, fear of death, fear of failure, fear of loss, and so on. To learn to respond differently in situations—especially situations that trigger you—you need to become aware of why you are responding in the way you are. Your mind will be quick to come up with all kinds of rational justifications so do not look there for answers. Let the mind talk if it wants to, but don’t put much stock in what it has to say. To get to the bottom of this—of why you respond to certain people and/or situations with fear instead of love—you must feel your way to the answer. It’s that heart-centered ‘thinking’ we talked about earlier. Really tune into your self, at that deeper emotional level and see what it is that is triggering you. Awareness goes a long way in healing. Until you become aware of your actions and emotional responses, you are simply acting unconsciously, like being on autopilot. It is hard to change anything when the autopilot is on.

We encourage you to spend the next few days with this assignment: just be aware of what you are feeling and why. Do your emotions and thus responses to situations come from love or fear? Simply observe and notice this. Do it from an unattached space of non-judgment. This is a way to gently begin getting familiar with your emotional patterns. Don’t worry about trying to change anything at first, and do not judge yourself or feel guilty over what you may discover.  Guilt is counter-productive to your growth. Just begin this gentle awareness process and see what comes. From there you can begin digging a little deeper and rooting out the core issues. This is when the work can get ‘messy’. You may feel like you’re in the emotional trenches! This process of discovery can lead to painful memories that you have blocked out or to old emotional wounds—things that hurt you in the past. This process may involve some tears and if that is the case, let them come. Crying is a very effective method of cleansing and can be very healing.

When you do this kind of self-discovery work the process may be painful as old ‘baggage’ is dredged up, but the rewards are worth it ten fold. This is a process of liberation and you will feel much lighter and freer from having gone through it."
