“Your suitcase isn’t here.”
That was NOT the phone call I wanted at 7:00 am Sunday morning.
I had just dropped my family and our suitcases off outside the airport. I was headed to park our car before joining them at the ticketing counter.
UNTIL….
My husband called me frantically.
“Your suitcase isn’t here.”
To which I thought….
That’s going to make for a bad vacation.
I looked at the clock in my car. I had exactly ½ hour to get back home, grab my suitcase off the front porch and get back to the airport to board our flight.
In that moment, I had two choices.
FEAR 😱
Or
LOVE ❤️
That’s when a calm overcame me along with the thought….
We’re responsible for the energy we bring to any situation.
I had a choice as I drove away from the airport.
I could jump down my incredibly well-appointed rabbit hole. The one with the photo gallery of past moments filled with worry and anxiety.
Or
I could shift my energy.
I chose the latter.
I started by heaping more gratitude on the situation than I do whipped cream on my churro sundae.
I was grateful that there were no Ubers available that morning, so I had my car to drive back home. I was grateful that my husband realized the bag was missing lickety-split fast. I was grateful that we had decided to leave a half hour earlier than initially planned.
And then….
I asked my Guardian Angels and Spirit Guides to clear a path between me and my home.
And then….
I sang.
The Green Light Song. Over and over.
No worries if you don’t know the lyrics. I didn’t either before 7:00 am Sunday morning. I’ve mostly forgotten them by now, but they included lots of references to red lights magically turning to green lights.
And they did!
I watched as light after light turned green for me.
When I got back to the airport, the magic continued.
>> There was an open parking spot near the parking garage elevator.
>> A woman held the elevator for me as I was running towards it.
>> A man let me go in front of him (twice!) in the security line.
Every high vibe feeling I had was a homing pigeon to another high vibe feeling.
I could have brought my Eeyore-self to this moment grumbling the entire way home. Blaming someone else for my suitcase being abandoned on our porch steps. Panicking about not making our flight.
I could have spilled negative energy into the Universe and had a very different experience.
IT’S THE SAME WAY WITH THE OBJECTS IN OUR HOME.
Our belongings have energy that spill out into our homes.
- When your home is filled with belongings that have high vibes, high vibes spill out into your home.
- When your home is filled with belongings that have low vibes, low vibes spill out into your home.
Sometimes you know what belongings are bringing the energy down in your home.
But sometimes, it requires more attention.
To help you out, here are 9 things that influence the energy of an object:
- Who gave it to you.
- Who made it.
- Where you bought it.
- Who previously owned it.
- The circumstances in your life when you acquired it.
- The meaning it had for the person who gave it to you.
- Your memories associated with this item.
- How it looks, sounds, smells, feels.
- What it represents for you.
When you come across something in your home and wonder how it’s affecting your energy, come back to this list.
The answers will help you understand your home’s energy, so you can make decisions about what to keep and what not to keep.
Here’s to you and your belongings sending loving vibes into the world,
xoxo
