There are two things that we can all be looking at right now to
totally transform our experience of the world. The first is to look at
what our energy is doing. Energy, as we say, is everywhere and is
everything. From a blade of grass to the sun's rays, a beautiful piece
of music, and the light flickering in the store; we relate to our world
and each other through the exchange of energy. Energy can come in many
forms and we express it in many different ways. Learning how to manage
our energy is absolutely pivotal for this time. What signals are you
sending? Identifying these will be the key to understanding your world.
Just as important is recognizing the energetic messages you are
receiving. We are a receptor as much as we are an antennae. If you do
not begin to actively work on identifying what messages are coming from
outside of you; you will have a very challenging time going forward.
Have you been feeling crazy? Overwhelmed? Anxious? Most likely, much
of that feeling is coming from outside yourself. If you do not
recognize that the feeling is coming from outside yourself, however, the
experience of life can be maddening.
What are you doing to manage the energy exchange in your life? If your answer is nothing, we need to change that.
The
second thing we can all be doing to totally transform our experience of
the world is to begin to identify how what you believe, or what you
expect from life, actually creates the experience of it. The one thing
we should all be asking ourselves is "what is this showing me?"
"What
is this showing me" is a question to ask frequently to better see your
patterns. It calls your experience into question, and highlights the
assumptions you are making day in and day out about life. We assume so
much, jump to conclusions, and live from an understanding based in our
own false perception. I know that it can seem utterly bizarre to think
that you are creating your world, but you are. Just remember that for
every one explanation you have given to the reason something has
happened; there are literally hundreds of others.
We are going to be exploring these topics much more going forward. It's time to move from
"I
know I should be doing this..." to actually doing it. It's so
important you do the work right now, and recognize the message you are
sending to yourself and others through the communication of your energy
and beliefs.
We have a few opportunities to go
more in depth with these concepts. I highly suggest you attend an
Energy Affects class. We have class a few times in November and
December (www.miylana.com).
We are offering a two part seminar on energy. These teleseminars are
the beginning of training's we will be offering entitled Magic and Mysteries. These
first two will take an in depth look at the idea of energy and explore
tools to protect yourself, project yourself more clearly, and recognize
energetic messages from others. If you still haven't shared this work
with your friends and family; now is the time to do so. It's so
important that everyone begin to recognize just how they are creating
their life and how energy works. We can help so many people if we start
to understand, use the tools, and more fully explain how all of this
works. It's time to give everyone the gift of new perception!

How to Raise Your Vibration
"Raise your vibration" is a term that is thrown around a lot these days,
and especially in the sort of work we do here at Miylana. Janice
relays often that the earth is going through an intense period of change
where the planet's vibration is becoming faster/higher. If you are
curious about how and why this is happening, I suggest an article by Our
Ultimate Reality for an explanation on vibrational changes in our world.
Vibration can be used to describe the physical characteristic of a particle or wave, and this is it's more scientific usage. We also use it to describe the feeling we may get from someone, as in "he gave me a weird vibe," or the Beach Boys' famous song "Good Vibrations." For our purposes, these terms can be almost combined into the characteristic energy of a person or thing that another can perceive or detect.
One of the effects of the vibration of the Earth raising is that information, other people's energy and emotion, is traveling much faster. This can effect us by making us feel ungrounded, really sensitive to things like light and sound or each other, and we may feel more emotional. Emotions are energy too. If you are all over the place with regard to your emotions, do some of the following exercises to help yourself ground and re-calibrate the energy. These exercises help you to ride the wave of the energy, as opposed to being stuck under the swell getting crushed by the power of the breaking wave. When you are aligned with the higher vibration, you will feel more joyous. When you aren't, well then - watch out!
THOUGHTS, ENERGY, AND EMOTIONAL CONTAGIONS
Janice teaches that thoughts and feelings have energy. I believe we can all relate to this idea. When we meet up with a friend who is having a tough time, we may recognize that something is the matter before we even speak to them. Our minds and bodies are very adept at picking up on cues, and so some people may explain this away as our subconscious minds being aware of the person's state of distress as evident from an obvious clue, like bags under their eyes, or clothes in disarray, etc. But if a person has no perceivable change to their exterior, we can still recognize how they are feeling. Sadness, happiness, and excitement all have characteristic energetic signatures that an attuned antennae can pick up from another person.
We can also pick up emotions from each other. In Psychology, they call this the emotional contagion, and many studies confirm what we know intuitively. One person feeling downtrodden or angry has been shown to effect the people close to them. Thoughts, feelings, and even reading rude words, or being exposed to angry or violent media will also have an effect on how we feel and go about our lives.
We absorb the attitudes and emotions of what we are exposed to, and often act on them. We feel less happy with ourselves and our performance when we are around unhappy people. Even though this emotion begins with someone else, we take it on as our own.
Thoughts have energy - are energy, in fact. Neurons in our brain interact, releasing various chemical and electrical signals. Tendencies of human behavior including facial mimicry, and related brain chemistry indicate that we commonly and unintentionally pass around and feel the effects of another person's bad, or good mood.
Learning how to be in control, rather than at the whim of this process is a major aspect of working with Janice. It often entails figuring out how to identify when something - a feeling or a thought - isn't actually yours, and learning to override it with your own, more positive, feeling or thought. Practice makes perfect here.
So where does vibration come in? While we cannot, yet, measure someone's vibration; the idea is that low vibrational energy encompasses all of the feelings we typically find uncomfortable, such as anger, fear, frustration, sadness, or worry. These feelings often result in disordered thoughts, and chemical changes in the brain that increase in power the more these feelings are felt. This contrasts to high vibrational energy. High vibrational energy results from positive thinking, feelings like joy and happiness. You might, literally, feel like you are walking on air. This feeling is excited and gifts you with the feeling that you are elevated, aware and can see potential pitfalls and problems from above. Others can also feel this heightened joyful feeling when they are around you, and may feel happier around you.
Still, it's easy to get wrapped up in a negative emotion and fall back into a lower vibration.
Studies have also shown that a negative event holds multiple times the impact of a positive one. That means that when something bad happens, it makes a much bigger impression and takes longer to recover from than a positive event. '“Put another way, you are more upset about losing $50 than you are happy about gaining $50,”' relays this article from the NY Times. When we come into contact with a negative person, you are more likely to get pulled into their bad mood than pull them out of it.
So what does all this mean? It means that you have to work, really work, to maintain a healthy positive or even just neutral outlook. Our psychology, and our brains are hardwired to pay attention to the negative, to absorb those uncomfortable emotions from others, and to emulate them.
So let's talk about how to raise your vibration. It should follow, based on the studies and information above, that much of it has to begin in the brain - with your thoughts. I asked Janice what we should do to improve our vibration and make it easier to have a positive outlook. Here's what she said:
A FEW WAYS TO RAISE YOUR VIBRATION:
1. SHUT UP.
No, really, this is what she said. She said we really need to shut up and listen more. Not necessarily to each other, but to ourselves. Our own thoughts. She said many of us are not at all aware of what we are thinking, and so can more easily be affected by those around us.
2. SAY/THINK SOMETHING POSITIVE- CREATE A MANTRA
Replace your repetitive inner monologue ("I have to get to the bank, I don't have time, I'm late for this thing, my friend is being an asshole, I want this thing and it's not happening, ugh!") with something much more positive. Create your own personal mantra full of significant keywords for what you really need in your life: not a better job but more happiness, not more money but more abundance, not someone to listen to you and do what you want all the time but more love.
Ex: I am in the process of creating my life. I now call more love, abundance, peace, and joy into my life.
Then repeat it. Whenever you fall into a negativity trap and begin to feel dissatisfied, use your mantra, and smile. Smiling has a wonderfully positive impact on the brain.
3. TAKE A BREAK.
We're all running around like chickens with our heads cut off most of the time, are aren't in touch with how we really feel. People really do need to learn to stop, and take a break. In Janice's words, "feel the sun on your face." When you do this, you may be surprised to see that you are actually feeling fine, and whatever was happening before was a result of rushing, or being around someone who is giving off some low vibrational energy.
4. SHAKE IT OFF.
This is one of Janice's go to exercises. Put on some upbeat music and shake, moving your body, and imagine excess energy falling into the Earth to be recycled. Do this for a few minutes, and then put on a slower, more meditative song. Stand still, rooted to the Earth. Your hands should be placed on your belly below your belly button and over your hip bones. Feel comfortable and breathe deep, imaging white light entering your head through the top of your skull and filling you from the bottom up.
IN CONCLUSION
While we still can't measure our own vibration and see where we are at on a high to low scale, we can certainly be aware of it and recognize that when we are feeling better; things go smoother, and we can find more joy in them. High vibrational energy is all around us, carrying with it energetic signals and messages that come in the form of intuition when we can match them with our own high vibrational energy. If we are vibrating lower, they may feel more like anxiety and seem overwhelming. If we really aren't receptive to them, they can jam the circuits of our mind so to speak, and we may feel like hiding or numbing out. Regardless, this energy is here to stay so the better choice would be to learn how to thrive in it. If you do, you'll see that other things don't effect you so much, and that, what's more, you can have a positive impact on those around you. Now, those are some good vibes.

Finding Meaning in Tragedy
UPDATE: After posting this, we received feedback from one of Janice's clients, Jeff W., who lives in Charleston. He wanted to let us know how the community has been responding:
"I was reading your post about the tragedy here and wanted to tell you what our experience has been. Sandy, Sophie and I have been attending many of the vigil's since it happened. To say the least, it has been an amazing, uplifting, inspiring experience for all of us. The family, friends and associates of the deceased have responded with Love and Forgiveness since day 1! Unbelievable, to say the least. We have not seen a moment of hatred, bigotry, or violence.. Sunday night, for example, we all went to the Ravenel bridge vigil where upwards of 20,000 people from all faith's and denominations showed up to join hands in unity to pray for love, forgiveness, peace and acceptance. We renamed the Ravenel to the "Bridge for Peace" for the night. The people, police, firefighters, politicians, relatives of the deceased, joined hands on the bridge to shout this message. People were high fiving, raising their hands in the peace sign. Cars traveling on the bridge were blowing their horns. Everyone had a huge smile on their faces. I was so grateful to be there. For this moment in time, from this community, a message to the world and beyond has been sent out! I am so proud to live here in Charleston County right now. I think it all started at the bond hearing for the young man who committed the crime. Relatives of the deceased attended and instead of screaming out their grief, turned to him and said, "I forgive you"! Not a new message for sure, but, in this case, a new astounding reaction to a violent act. Well, we all heard their voice. For this moment we have woken up and joined them in celebrating peace, love and forgiveness instead of hatred and violent reactions. I think God is smiling right now. I only hope this message travels far and wide and doesn't fade away too soon. It has changed many of us here in Charleston. Three cheers for this community and the people who started it!"
ORIGINAL POST: The Charleston shooting has been on the periphery of my vision. It was only today that I could really think about what it means and why it happened. To think about the horror of such an act, and how many we've had to process recently, it really is hard to come up with ways to explain it or find purpose in it.
As most of you know from working with me, the guides teach that we create the circumstances of our lives for a reason and to learn. The people who lost their lives the night of the shooting were prayerful, loving, beautiful people. Many close to them attest to their goodness and their kindness. The idea that something like this befell them, these good people, is tragic. Still, I can't help but find meaning in the fact that these people, these good people, would not have wanted their deaths to be used as fodder for hate or for fear. These good people would have wanted the tragedy of their deaths to somehow inspire connection, love, and understanding. It is with that in mind that I think we may find a way forward. It would be so understandable if people retracted, hid themselves, and stopped taking risks. Of course, a part of us wants to not face the problems in our society that need fixing at all; addressing mental health, race inequality, and weapon control not the least of these. How do we come to an agreement with so many dissenting voices?
Far from hiding, and playing into the illusion of our separateness; we must take this moment to connect even more to those in our community, to cross boundaries, and to stop being afraid of that which we don't have much experience with. Often, when we approach the thing we have anxiety about; all fear drops away and we are left wondering why we were afraid in the first place! We are so afraid of being judged, of not being accepted; sometimes we stop trying. Fostering our own worth of self and continuing to be an emissary for light in this world, despite the obstacles entailed, will remove these fears. Perceived judgement cannot touch you when you know and love yourself as much as you deserve.
Help support those who who need it in finding assistance, be aware of those in our lives that are not receiving what they require and take action, support equality, bridge understanding and differences, and alter your way of life to make more time for connection: these are the things that will help us to move into a more peaceful and happier world. I believe that this is what the shooting in Charleston can teach us. Let us honor these amazing souls by endeavoring to create a better, kinder world. Maybe, if we can start to create that world, these atrocities will end.
Remember, we are all connected. If you are feeling sad or overwhelmed by emotions circulating right now, remember to bless the feeling and then shake it off and let it go. You will be better able to handle everything from a place of quiet.
Thank you so much Jeff for sharing this with us and for sharing your love with the community of Charleston. It's people like you and your family that are really doing the work of bringing everyone to the next level!
