“When we look up, it widens our horizons. We see what a little speck we are in the universe, so insignificant, and we all take ourselves so seriously, but in the sky, there are no boundaries. No differences of caste or religion or race.” ~ Julia Gregson

Ever felt so crushed and weighed down by an unknowable feeling of depression or as if your head were so stuffed with so many flies buzzing about up there it felt like a Wall Street crash at the height of panic? Quite often, the place we live has a much bigger impact on us than we might realize, and the thousand and one layers of electronic messages, the average humming chaos of the human mind; not to mention the historical memories of the land; the wars, times of conflict and invisible scars a place may carry, can often leave us responding to a web of energy that appears to have no place or resonance with our own agenda or the positive energy we desire to manifest.

“If you wish to understand the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibrations.” – Nikola Tesla

On a quantum level we are all just energy. Our bodies are energy, our feelings are energy and our thoughts are energy. Although the Universe is neutral to all energy, meaning that no thought or emotion is technically “good” or “bad” in a moral sense, there are energies that are of a lower vibration and more dense.

So on one end of the spectrum we have high vibration or lighter energy which is energy that is based in “love” (or openness, expansion, acceptance) and on the other end of the spectrum we have the lower vibration which is energy that is heavier and based in “fear” (contraction, closed off, darker & more dense).

“The root of suffering is attachment”- Buddha

Attachments come in many forms; so much so that there are probably hundreds of attachments you are holding on to right now that you had no idea even existed. They come in the form of anything from beliefs (about ourselves and others), expectations of how situations should go or ways people should behave, to more obvious things like relationships & material possessions.

Anytime we are dead set on something happening, or are holding on to an idea, belief or plan, or object so tightly that we are unable to entertain any other points of view or options of outcomes, this is an indication that we have formed an attachment.

What we may not realize, however, is that in doing so we are also setting ourselves up to experience some level of suffering...

“Abundance is not something we acquire, it’s something we tune in to.” – Wayne Dyer

We live in an abundant universe! There is literally an infinite amount of energy. In all actuality there is no such thing as scarcity or lack because there is literally no place that exists that isn’t jam packed full of energy. We are pure energy, the air between two people is full of energy, every thought and feeling we have is energy.

Even the thought that you have that you don’t have enough is still more energy. When you stop to think about it, we are all very wealthy people. Actually, it is impossible to not be wealthy when at our core, and at the core of everyone we meet, and every object we own or see, and every breath of air that we take is still this same infinite energy supply that literally exists everywhere.
