How your "ripples" of energy affect those around you and come back to you... For better or for worse

Ok so I had a very interesting day yesterday that carried over to today and I just have to take a moment to "write it out". A great writer Betty J. Eadie wrote a book called "The Ripple Effect". This is just one in a series of books she wrote after a near death experience where she was given the gift of remembering what her brief time in Heaven was like while she was clinically dead following a unforeseen complication after surgery. If you have not read her first book "Embraced by The Light" I HIGHLY recommend picking up a copy. I will tell you it changed my life forever. At any rate, Betty in "The Ripple Effect" talks about how we as people have send out positive and negative ripples into the world every day in what we say or do. For instance an example of how this works. If upon entering a grocery store I notice that there is someone struggling to make their way out of the store, I may instinctively hold the door open for that individual (positive ripple). Now I don't know that person or what their day may have been like but that very gesture of holding the door for a complete stranger may have a huge impact to them.  It may have meant nothing but ultimately I sent a positive ripple out into the universe. On the other hand, had I just let that person struggle with their bags to get out  the door and just worry about my self I am sending a different message about the person I am (negative ripple) that may stay with that person for all the wrong reasons. They may walk away and think "how rude", or "I can't believe that people just aren't willing to help others even with the small stuff", or could be as significant as a thought "Gee it would have been nice if that person would have helped me out for a minute". 

We need to be mindful of our "ripples". What message do we want to send with them? If we send a negative ripple into the universe how do you think it will come back to you? The fact is that negative energy attracts negative energy and positive attracts positive. Think about it, have you ever been in the room with a really negative person and walked away NOT feeling affected by it? Certainly we all have negative experiences in our lives and thinking about the "ripples" we are sending is not always at the front of our minds. Also consider this, have you ever been around someone so positive that it feels contagious? The positive (just like the negative) energy is pulling us in either direction. If we pay more attention to how our own feelings and attitude impact others (both good and bad) I think it would serve us well as we live our lives and help us get a better understanding of what side of the fence we want to be on. 

I have so much more I could say on this topic but am off to Physical therapy. A promise to myself is I will get more focused tomorrow and work the "preparedness" meets opportunity" theory.

Wishing you Happiness and Light!
Until Next Time,
Laura D.
