Energy vampires

I was listening to a webinar the other day and it has spawned a few thoughts. It was a discussion about energy and the human body. The woman said that dark and light cannot exist in the same space, just like negative and positive does not exist in the same space. She compared a room with a light bulb; it is on or off, to a couple – one positive and the other negative. When a person is being negative, he finds an upbeat, optimistic person jarring to his nerves. His energy is depleted. He does not appreciate all of the high vibration energy the other person is exuding. Since both energies cannot exist in the same space, something has to shift. The negative person begins pushing the buttons of the positive person. If the positive person can stay centered there is no exchange. One of them will probably leave the space. If the positive person gets drawn into the baiting, she will begin having a charge. This is how the negative person drains energy off the positive person. It can only happen if they can get the other person fired up.


We’ve all felt this. Some people just suck the life out of us. We are going along happy and peaceful and a person, in a low energy state, can manage to take us right out of that place. The next thing we know is that we are feeling as low as them. Now we are both negative.

The trick is to recognize what is happening. If we understand that they are just low on energy, we can help them make their own and not need to sap energy from anyone else. Ask them if they are willing to feel better. If so, start having them think about the things they love – their children, nature, pets – anything to help them shift to a higher frequency. Love is the highest vibration. They will begin to raise their own energy. Once they feel more whole you can both be positive and happy.

Realize this when someone negative is in your space. #1. Don’t get drawn in by their attack. #2. If they are willing to be positive, then help them by making suggestions to raise their energy. If they want to stay negative, disengage and walk away. You are not helping them by allowing them to drain your energy. The only way to truly be of service is to be an example of positive vibration.

Montana Folk Music Festival

Last weekend was the Montana Folk Music Festival in Butte, MT. For anyone that has not seen this, it was amazing. I couldnt get over the diversity and quality of the music. This is a Native American Honor Song. http://montanafolkfestival.com/ I have many videos, but am having a hard time getting them to load. There was music from Russia, Japan, Slovakia, the Appalachian Mountains, Swing from Austin, old time Rock and Roll from Memphis, the Blues, Native American drummers, Salsa from Puerto Rico, Cajun Zydeco and Celtic Music. The dance floor was always hopping. At least 5 stages were filled from noon until 11:00 pm each day. My good friend, Rob Johnson, retired Ravalli agent, was a gallant escort.

I'd highly recommend this event.

Heaven

Doesn't this look like a bit of heaven to you? It does to me. It is the sky over my cabin last night. Maybe it just easier in Montana to be aware of the sky and all the signs of nature. These clouds, with the last rays of sun bathing them, prove to me that the world is a glorious place and that we are loved and cared for. This  beauty is captivating; it stops us in our tracks if we let it. The stress of our day melts away in the majesty of this moment. I am serene and calm as I watch them float over me. Gratitude fills my being and I know that everything is in perfect order and as it should be even though I may not be able to see what is around the next corner. It will be alright.

Tonight ought to be amazing: the big sky of Montana, the long evening hours, gorgeous weather, a harbor on Flathead Lake, fine wine, a symphony and a gourmet bbq. I wonder if I'll hear St.Peter? News at 11:00.

Blue birds

I love my blue birds. They have taken up residence in the birdhouse along the back fence. Every evening the Mr. and the Mrs. follow me around the backyard. They sit on the clothes line or the electric wire or wherever they can watch my activities. Tonight the speckle breasted baby almost let me get close enough to touch him. He dips and twirls right around my head.  Each night I bid them buenos noches at 10:00 pm when I am ready for my shower and they are still enjoying the waning light. I wonder how much later they stay up.


I was pondering the other day how they came to be blue. Blue is not a camouflage color.


I think they are here to bring me joy, the blue birds of happiness.  A bald eagle flew beside my car yesterday as I inspected hay fields for weeds. Hummingbirds swarm my front porch all day and compete for the feeders I put out. I wake to songbirds as the sun peeks over the mountains each morning. The birds of Montana fill me with gratitude and make me smile.
