In the consciousness expanding book I have been reading, The Twelfth Insight by James Redfield, there is a strong message about keeping our energy up, our vibrations high to access our inner resources. This emphasis rings very true in my experience of my own life and the many people I have assisted in their journey towards their mental, emotional and spiritual well-being.

When we are in fear, worry, anger, or blame the world feels overwhelming. These states lower our capacity to deal with what is going on.

When we are vibrating at a state of higher consciousness, of love, of joy and other expansive thoughts and feelings we are much more resourceful.

In higher state we have access to our intuition, to being aware, to synchronicity, gut instincts, wisdom from the heart and guidance from our spirit.
