Do you crave time and space to just ENJOY what you have!
Are you in denial about the state of your life just because you think all your friends love their lives!?
By Charlene M Brown
I have a friend who is an “energy reader.” He is more “tuned-in” to other people’s energy than most. He definitely has good energy and is a good hugger. In fact, I love hugging him to exchange this energy. Sometimes we will stay in an embrace for much longer than the social norm, just because we are replenishing each other’s energy supply.
Whew, now that I’ve gotten that confession off my chest, let me go back and explain some of the things I said! That was certainly a mouthful, especially if you’ve never looked at the world as being filled with energy before!
But it is!
Every single thing in the Universe is made from energy. Though energies are different, have different vibrations, they all have the same basic characteristics!
In the human body, we have energy centers, called chakras that act as a sort of referee to the energy in our bodies. These chakras are meridians, or entry (and exit) points to the energy that our bodies receive and give out.
Have you heard of that popular book/movie, The Secret by Rhonda Byrne, that talks about the Law of Attraction? Well, this information is also true and also has to do with energy.
The Law of Attraction states that we get what we think about; like attracts like. This happens because the more thought we put into something, the stronger we are vibrating at that frequency. The stronger a signal goes out, the stronger it will come back. (Note here, signals we send out come back multiplied)
Think about this like a radio frequency. Let’s say the station you want is at frequency 106.3. If you are there on the dot, the sound is strong and clear. This represents things that you put a lot of thought into—the things that show up in your life, you are playing that station. The further away you are from that frequency, the less clear it comes in. The further away you are from thinking or feeling something, the less clear the frequency and the less it shows up in your life. Does that make sense?
In the course of our daily lives, most of us spend time doing activities that deplete our energy. In the alternative healing world, this can be seen through your aura, or energy field around your body.
We all have this energy field, this aura, surrounding our bodies. If it is big and vibrant, we have a good balance of energy. If it is dull and small, staying very close to our bodies, we are probably very imbalanced. This is what causes sickness and dis-ease. (Auras have colors associated with them that generally correspond to the rainbow. Some people have a gift for seeing these auras in color.)
When our energy is low, we are depleted of the natural energy we all possess. Sometimes this happens because other people drain our energy, such as when we are being intimidated or belittled. (See The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield for more about this topic). This is when we need energy from outside ourselves to boost us back up! This is why I can hug my friend for so long, because we are both filling up our energetic gas tank. Incidentally, we could also get this energy by hugging a tree—no, really!
There is an infinite supply of this energy and therefore enough for everyone, without anyone ever being depleted. But most people don’t realize this.
Which is why we allow (and it is an allowing) others to deplete our energy field. There are ways to safeguard against this sort of energy depletion, but perhaps we’ll save that for another article.
The point is most of us Do get depleted and need ways to re –energize. I hug my friend and he hugs me back. We both know, subconsciously at least, that because of this infinite supply, when we put our energies together, it is somehow greater than if we were hugging ourselves—energetically speaking, we fill each other back up!
So I will continue to enjoy his hugs!
Do You Love your Life Now!? I Do! (Because I hug people with good energy!)

The Hook-up Culture! Whether you recognize it by name or not, I’d bet that you know what I’m talking about.
Hooking-up with someone instead of pursuing a relationship with him. Short-term, right- now gratification that perhaps gives you the hugging and kissing and fondling (and maybe even the sex) satisfaction that you are seeking. But what do all these short term Usings (because you are being used and using someone else) look like carried into the future when you DO want a long term relationship!?
While mostly prevailing among high school- and college-aged women, us grown folks do it to. In our instantaneous technology driven culture, sometimes we forget how to see things to completion, how to make things work for the long haul.
For some of us even thinking about the “long haul” makes us squeamish, especially when it comes to relationships.
However, what are you gaining by repeatedly selling yourself short? In past generations, you would have gained “a reputation” which would have made you less desirable for marriage. But we’re in modern times now. Our social rules of etiquette have changed! And I, for one, am glad that women have this wonderful freedom of choice and that so many of us exercise it.
Recently in the news, there was a big hubbub about Michelle Obama, the First Lady, wearing shorts as she went on vacation in the desert in the summertime! Really!? Shorts!? Not some scandalous outfit that she wore along K Street in DC’s Red Light District! Get over it! Who was really up in arms about that anyway! Some “anonymous source”, I’m sure!
But I digress.
Mrs. Obama, thankfully, appeared to not be ruffled at all. (Okay, so that was still part of the digression—I’m done now, promise!)
Back to us twenty- and thirty-somethings and our fear of commitment! Oops! Did I say that out loud?
Well, since I said it, yeah, I mean it! We, as a culture, are afraid of commitment.
Since we are so afraid to commit to anything, we “try out”, sample, if you will, many different things (by things I mean intimate partners in this case). But I ask you, where is the intimacy when you share your Self with so many different people!?
It is not! By definition, intimacy means a certain closeness with another. Sleeping around (or fondling around, as the case may be), doesn’t lend itself to closeness, just by the mere fact that you are doing it with so many people.
Here again, I say you’re selling yourself short!
This is not Baskin Robbins, where you can just discard your little plastic spoon once you are done with that flavor. Yet this is exactly what we are doing!
Ladies, think about this: we live in a culture that says that women can go just as far as men. And we are encouraged to do so, in school, in work and even in the bedroom. There is a lot to be said for sexual freedom and having the ability to make decisions about what we do in our private lives. But I ask you this: when you get up and leave in the morning (or middle of the night), do you feel empowered? Or do you still feel the same emptiness you were trying to fill?
I’d bet on emptiness every time, even after the Power has disappeared. (Note here that feeling POWERful and being EMPOWERED are two totally different things!)
I’d bet, that when you look in the mirror later, you will still feel like you need to fill that void.
This is why we are selling ourselves short! We deserve better! We all deserve to be Loved and Feel Beautiful!
But guess where this has to start!?
With Us!
We have to make ourselves beautiful!
I’m not talking about swiping on layers and layers of makeup which hides our true selves. I’m talking about genuinely liking and loving WHO YOU ARE!
Only then, will our real beauty shine through and we will Know our SELF WORTH!
Ladies, Collectively, WE HAVE TO STOP SELLING OURSELVES SHORT!
Join with me in Loving Your Life Now!
Do You Love Your Life Now!? I DO (Because I Am Beautiful and try not to sell myself short!)!

In her book, Unhooked: How young women pursue sex, delay love and lose at both, author Laura Sessions Stepp tells it like it is in so many ways. In this fantastically written book, Stepp takes a glimpse into the lives of several young women and by following them around for a year, draws striking conclusions about the current culture we as women are in.
