A Conscious Conversation about
Heaven on Earth
by Kym Kennedy
We are all energetic beings. Quantum scientists have made it clear that we and everything else that exists at the lowest common denominator are nothing but packets of energy. This is very important to know because something as ethereal as energy has a lot of room for transformation. You know, like if you told me that I needed to change the physical make up of an elm tree, I’d say, no way! Similarly I would have previously thought the same about arthritis, heart disease or cancer. But knowing that we are energy, it feels like I might just be able to shift out of those unhealthy states. Just like water can easily change from liquid to ice or steam, I can see changing unhealthy cells to healthy ones.
According to Caroline Myss, renowned author and energy healer in her book “Why People Don’t Heal and How They Can”, we use up to 70% of our daily life force fretting about the past and the future. We repeat stories of past hurts and rejection over and over in our minds or we ruminate over what we fear is going to happen in the future. Please know that this energy drain affects our health. How many times have we cancelled out of some event or opportunity because we were upset about something? We don’t have the energy to put into worry, fear, anger, AND into health, joy and abundance at the same time! We have to choose! Unfortunately most of us choose the former.
It is so important that we keep our minds focused on what is lovely, pure and true as scripture so aptly advises. We are what we think about. When we think of the negative events from the past or make up fearful stories about the future, we set up an energetic pattern that affects our lives and not just emotionally. Negative emotions are the cause of all physical illness according to scores of experts. Colin Tipping, author of the best-selling book “Radical Forgiveness” says all cancer starts with depression. Negative thoughts about us, our family members, our jobs, society, etc. etc. are exactly what causes all the dis-ease in the world.
Is it any wonder we have such high rates of heart dis-ease, diabetes, obesity and cancer of all forms? Look at what is pumped into our living rooms multiple times a day. CNN (affectionately called “Constant Negative News”) and all of its partners in crime do all they can to keep us fearful about the future. All the advertisers keep us thinking badly about ourselves if we don’t go out and buy their miracle products. And now, the pharmaceutical community has gone buck wild with all the illnesses that they stream into our heads that we never heard of before. Shaky legs, frequent trips to the bathroom, stomach acid? You name it, they will convince you that you have it, if they can, and they send you running for their remedy.
We are up against mighty opposition to the concept of thinking on what is lovely, pure and true. Yet it is essential to our health, well-being and uplifting of the world as we know it. Not only does “stinking thinking” affect us, but collectively it builds up and affects the world we live in. The world fell into negative thinking patterns after 9/11 and 7 years later we had a financial meltdown. Then a year and a half after millions lost money and jobs which caused huge emanations of negative thoughts, the energy erupted in record breaking devastation on the island of Haiti.
Now I know many will not buy the association between your individual thoughts and the tragedies of the world. I can’t help that and there is no way I know to convince you. But please believe me; what you think about yourself and the people around you has a huge effect on the health of your body and your relationships both business and personal.
So what can you do? First and foremost I recommend daily meditation to begin to bring your mind into a peaceful space. Fifteen minutes in the morning and at night and over time you will be surprised at what doesn’t bother you as much anymore. Shelves are filled with books on meditation and its miraculous effects. Get one or in the gospel of Nike, “Just Do It!”
Next, turn off the news. Trust me you will not miss a thing except upset stomachs, headaches and mild to major depression. Don’t allow others who have ulterior motives to have so much influence on your life. Watch a comedy to lift your spirits. Put on some music and dance or create something. Write that book you have been putting off, or make those drapes or build that deck. Spend your time and energy creating good vibes for yourself and the world.
Then vow to stop beating yourself up. I know you do it. We all do, but it must stop. We can’t truly love others if we don’t love ourselves, and, what the world really needs now is indeed love. We must start with ourselves. Love yourself even when you make mistakes. Love yourself when you forget to love others. It is like anything else, you will get better with practice. But the more you look in the mirror and tell yourself that you love yourself unconditionally, the easier it will be to love others unconditionally, and it is the only way to attract unconditional love from others since we always get back what we give out.
Last, forgive. Yes yourself and others. Unforgiveness is like taking poison and expecting the other person to die. Don’t make yourself sick with resentment. Let others off the hook like you would like to be let off for any of your past errors. Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. This is critical to freeing our life force energy for more positive, productive endeavors.
Of course there is more, but these things are the essentials. When you practice these four things for six months I promise you your life will shift. Miracles will start to show up in your life. Wonderful people and experiences will make their presence known. Your energy will shift the energy of those around you too, without you saying a word. You will feel better and so you will be more motivated to take care of your body with proper nutrition and exercise. You’ll start taking interest in things that improve your home and the community you live in. Resources will show up to make a way for you to do all that you want to do.
Go ahead, create heaven on earth for yourself and your loved ones. I dare you!!
