Energy speaks louder than words

Have you ever noticed that it’s possible to be introduced to someone’s energy before you actually meet him or her? It’s just the feeling you get when they enter a room, it’s that something that precedes them. I believe our energy is our greatest source of power, I like to refer to it as ‘personal power’.When you operate or vibrate on a high frequency with loving energy, you can be sure to receive that energy reflected right back to you. On the flip side, when you vibrate at a low level, you become an energetic magnet for scenarios that are also vibrating at that level. Therefore, it’s so important to learn how to take responsibility for your own energy.Personal power lies in our ability to be in control of our energy at any time no matter the circumstances we find ourselves in, to ‘own’ our energy. It might sound impossible, but changing your energetic vibration is much easier than you think.When we function from a doubtful, fearful, low-level energetic state, our vibes can literally disrupt the world. But when we function from a place of positive energy, the world around us becomes a more positive place. I make it a point to check in with myself regularly “What is the energy that I’m sending out at this very moment? And how is my energy affecting the people I come in contact with?”We all know how much our words and actions affect the people we interact with, but what we may not realise is how much our energy affects them. In fact, your energy affects everything in your life, because your energetic vibration attracts its likeness. For example, if you want to find new friends, you’ve got to bring high vibes when you go to social events or if you want to achieve a dream it’s a must to bring high vibes when you bring your thoughts to it. I also make a point to set my intention to protect my energy. In my mind, I say, “I set my intention right now to be loving, to be kind and to be joyful. I am a fountain, not a drainer. I’m also not a sponge. I am not going to absorb the negative energy of others.”This is especially important if you’re going to be entering a space with someone who has low level energy or someone who is constantly negative or pessimistic.Setting that intention immediately creates an invisible shield. It doesn’t necessarily mean you have a negative attitude, it simply means you are protecting yourself.Protecting your energy will help you stay positive, aligned and happy, and you’ll still be loving, kind and happy and send out an intention of trust to the world. Once you tap into your personal power and learn how to command your energetic vibration, trust me, you’ll start to notice changes in your life. People will want to be around you, they’ll feel elevated by your presence. You’ll be more vibrant in all ways, even smiley and glowy.You’ll also feel the change; you’ll feel energised, joyful, more inspired and more creative. Try it, I dare you, raise your vibes and tell me about the results.* The author is a consultant and coach. Instagram handle: @miss_shefa,  Website: missshefa.com
