Sending Out a Blessing

The Blessing of Community…

I recently got back from the ‘”I CAN DO IT” conference in California, which was attended by over three thousand people! Some people came in groups with friends, while many came by themselves. This awesome event is sponsored my publisher, Hay House, and I’m proud to have been part of this ongoing conference series, which takes places all over the U.S. as well the England, Canada, and Australia.

What I love about the conference is that it’s a place where like-minded people have a chance to come together to learn, study, and share in each other’s experiences. You can feel the bonding, the love, as well as the spiritual energy around the place! Everyone comes to the conference with their own aspirations, their own agenda, or some often because they just feel their soul gently guiding them to attend.

A Blessing of Connection

At the conference, there were workshops on many subjects from self-esteem, self-empowerment, medical and health information, and opening and discovering your intuition, to learning all about the power of affirmations and positive thought. There was a collective thirst to learn as much as they could to enhance the body, mind, and soul, and to hopefully find answers, positive life tools, comfort, solace, healing, and enlightenment, possibly.

I had the opportunity to speak with many of the people attending over the three days, and heard over and over how this conference was life changing, and how they wanted to take this good vibration home with them, so they could be role models for other people in their lives. I even enjoyed attending some workshops myself in my ongoing quest to learn from my colleagues. After all, I will always be a student. We never know it all!

Recognize When a Blessing is Needed

I got back from this fantastic event still feeling upbeat, and then went out to dinner with some friends. As we were all catching up with each other’s lives, the waitress came to take our order, and it was pretty obvious she was having a bad day. She was less than friendly, and was not hiding how irritated she was. Instead of getting upset, irritated, or angry myself, I used a technique that I was taught many years ago, and still use every time I encounter someone who is angry, annoyed, or just in a bad mood.

I decided to send her positive, calming energy with my thoughts, and surrounded her with white light. I took a moment to imagine the light entering her heart center. I just did this for a minute as she took our orders. When our food was ready, she brought it to our table, and you could see she was more engaging. Her face was less tense and she actually began to laugh with us! My friends and I looked at each other and they said, “Did you do something John?” I told them that I’d just sent her positive energy to help ease her mood, and possibly help her to have a better night. At the end of the meal she said, “Thank you and please come back!” I left in the hopes that the positive shift in her energy would be passed on to her other customers, and maybe she would take that home to her family and let it spread. I bet by the end of that night her tips would reflect her change!

Blessings are Positive Energy

I have used this energetic, blessing technique over and over in many situations and places. For instance: How many times have you been on a plane and you swear that the screaming crying baby was purposely put in the row behind you? Instead of getting irritated or angry with a baby who is clearly suffering from the pressure change or frightened, try sending the baby calming energy. I always choose pink for a baby. I imagine that a beautiful pink bubble is encompassing the child, and more times than not, the baby will stop crying and calm down.

We often forget that we are all made up of energy and are quite powerful. How often do you get out of bed in a bad mood, only to find out that the car won’t start, then an electrical appliance in your home won’t work, and then something else negative happens? One thing leads to another, and then you end the day by saying, “What a day I had, and I want to forget it ever happened!” Our energy and the energy of those around us can affect us positively or negatively. I just want you to be aware of what you are sending out and what you to let in. The choice is and always will be yours.

John’s Lesson

How about for today you send out a positive thought or blessing to everyone you encounter – no matter who it is or whether you know them or not. You never know whether this blessing could create a ripple effect that will reach many people in their lives and beyond.

You can do this anywhere and at anytime. The person does not have to be in front of you. Here are a few scenarios to consider:

If you hear an ambulance in the distance, stop for a moment and send them an energy blessing.

If you hear about a family in need, stop for a moment and send them an energy blessing.

If you find out a neighbor is about to pass, stop for a moment and send them an energy blessing to make it a peaceful passing.

It doesn’t have to be an illness, an accident, or a disaster for you to send out a blessing of healing energy. You can even send healing energy to a difficult situation. If a friend of yours is separating from their spouse, or there’s a bad work environment, they could benefit from blessing with a little healing thought or intention. There are no limits once you develop a healing consciousness. As you’ve heard me say all too often, “We are all connected. You can make a difference!”
