Remember to be Human

I'm a big West Wing TV show fan. Big.

As time goes by, when I watch these reruns, I'm astounded by the many meaningful messages that can be taken from the program.

I recently watched an episode where the president's daughter is getting married and they are having a White House wedding. At the same time, 2 nations in the Asia Pacific are about to wage war over oil issues. After much frustration and time spent in trying to find a solution on the part of the US president, and with a room full of waiting guests, he asks the Russian president if his daughter has ever been married, and the answer is yes. At that point President Bartlett (Martin Sheen) tells him that he has to go walk his daughter down the aisle and he is 45 minutes late because he can't get off the phone until he knows that the Russians will not advance their troops.

While he stands with his daughter before the procession, he is brought to tears by a memory of her at 4 years old running out in between the border of East and West Berlin. She, at 4 years old was able to remind the soldiers and guards of their human connection and they all began waving at her and then at each other.

Our connection, our energetic relationship is one that has more power than we know. When we behave in a human manner, the best way that we can, we are promoting the good, the betterment of all. What are ways that we can do that on a daily basis?

Today I was inspired by....

This blog is dedicated to the awareness of what I find inspiring and what allows our energy to flow for improving how we are living in this world.

For the last few days I have had the opportunity to participate in a wonderful event - The World Tapping Summit. This free audio program brings together 20 of the leaders in the energy therapy movement and explores how each of them uses tapping techniques to ease and remove the emotional triggers that keep people blocked and keep their energy stuck.

It is a remarkable process, easy and effective. And you can do it on your own.

Carol Look describes it as Acupuncture without the needles. It doesn't hurt, it doesn't gloss over the junk, and it honors the feelings and emotions we have about anything.

I've been focused on Energy for quite a while. And I have come to believe that energy is like life electricity, it's the stuff that powers us. We are the recipients of that energy/life electricity AND we are also contributing to it, so it is really important that we learn and employ techniques to keep our energy clean and efficient. EFT, SET, TAT and BSFF are all examples of how to roto-rooter out the gunk that stands in the way of our energy running clear and clean.

Wintry thought filled day

A February Sunday in Chicago, waiting for the snow to fall. A perfect time to consider how we are impacted by thoughts. Having woken too early, I indulged in episodes of Law and Order, followed by CBS Sunday Morning. The difference in the energy coming off of the two program was noticeable.
As I consider how I felt during and after each of these TV experiences, I realize that we spend so much time unaware of the subtle influences on our energetic states. The feeling we get from the various inputs on our experience can have profound effects on what we are able to do, what we are thinking and what we are putting out to the world.
