A Gift to the World

A sacred choice is an extremely personal decision for each of us.  Only you can make that decision.  By listening to your spirit, by having a good relationship with God — it’s amazing how much easier this is once you change those tribal beliefs about who God is and what God thinks of you — and by being willing to heal yourself, the choice will be clear.  And thanks to the ripple effect, everyone around you will feel your happiness and high vibration.  What a wonderful gift to give the world.

Living in tune with your spirit

Trust me when I say, if something raises your vibration, you will know it.  If you think you are not sure, it’s because you are afraid to admit that your vibration is lowered by a particular person, activity, or way of life.

It takes great courage to start living vibrationally because it will require you to be rigorously honest about where you are putting your energy in life.  And before you start thinking I am condoning a self-centered way of life, consider this:  How self-centered do you think you become when you are resentful, angry, and conflicted because you are doing something you don’t want to?  Quite a lot.

Living vibrationally doesn’t mean avoiding the things you dislike — it means living in integrity with your spirit.

When you live vibrationally, you can take responsibility for your happiness.  If you feel trapped, find and change the tribal belief that is trapping you.  If you feel resentful, look at the situation you have chosen in order to remain true to your tribe.

Healing Others

Remember that I want you to be wildly happy, incredibly successful, and filled with passion and spontaneity.  Listening to your spirit will accomplish all of it.  And when your vibrations are good, you are sending out the best possible energy to the rest of the world.  The fact is, your good vibrations are healing to others.

— Christel Nani, Sacred Choices, p. 279

Affecting Others

Each of us has a profound ripple effect on those around us.  When you are happy, you raise the vibration around you.  When you are resentful, you can drag down an entire party.  How do you want to influence those around you?

Your vibration is energetically broadcast to those around you — and to your children.  If you don’t want to get unstuck for yourself, do it for them.

— Christel Nani, Sacred Choices, p. 251

Being Around Positive Energy

We get good vibes by giving them.  Being around people who exude positive energy is stimulating and inspiring.  They’re fun to be with because they have the power to uplift our spirits as they uplift their own.  They invite us to actively participate in the infinite possibilities for living more radiantly.  Someone with a good disposition, who is cheerful and looks on the bright side of life, generates lots of good energy.

— Alexandra Stoddard, Choosing Happiness, p. 50-51

Enthusiasm

The way to increase our energy is to find lots and lots of things to be enthusiastic about.  Whether it is a clean house, a freshly stocked refrigerator, or a newly mowed lawn, there are opportunities everywhere for us to become excited and thoroughly enjoy what we choose to do.

— Alexandra Stoddard, Choosing Happiness, p. 49

Teenagers

Your teenager’s function is to “turn against” you.  Don’t take this so personally.  It’s the leaving-the-nest stage.  You are the parent.  Relax into your destiny.  Your function is never to turn against your teenager.

— Hugh Prather, Spiritual Notes to Myself, p. 70
