It is important that we align ourselves with as much positive energy as possible, especially in these changing and confusing times. The more positivity we create in our own lives, the more it expands out into the Universe. We are all intricately connected and one person’s actions can both directly and indirectly affect another’s, whether we realize it or not, and there is nothing we can do to dictate where and how that effect will take place.

The Law of Expanding Influence explains how your own personal energy expands out into the world and has an effect on not only your immediate circumstances, but can also affect someone on the other side of the world. Just as we are all made of energy, so are the emotions we experience, and as we experience them, we also resonate them and express that energy to the world around us.

Imagine for one second that a fight you had with your mother generates a feeling of anger within you. That feeling of anger not only resonates within you, but also expands from you and your energy field outward toward your mother, everyone near you and the world in general. Believe it or not, that emotion can actually reach the other side of the world and, for example, touch a group of people in an entirely different country that are holding a rally to petition against a cause. Your energy of anger might be enough to push them toward a riot rather than a rally. The same goes for feelings of happiness and joy and peace, and any other emotion you can think of.

This is why it is so very important for us all to do our very best to come from a place of love in our hearts and to live with the intent of sharing that love and respect with those around us in our everyday lives. We are all human, of course, and this can certainly be difficult for the very best of us to achieve as we go about our day, but simply the effort is often enough to make a real difference in our surroundings and, in turn, the world.

One of the things that we can do to make it easier to come from a place of love is to clear as much negativity out of our lives as possible. There are many ways to do that, from saying positive affirmations to reading self-help books to simply shifting our consciousness. But what I have found from personal experience and why I got into the work that I do is that it is much easier to get to and remain in a happier and more peaceful place if you get to the underlying cause of the negativity and release it.

When the source of the negativity is no longer present in your life and your energy field, you will naturally resonate with a positive outlook on life and will express that energy to the world through your feelings, thoughts, words, and actions. Not only that, but because you are resonating at the frequencies of peace, love, and joy, you will also attract more of it into your life while simultaneously having a positive effect on the world.
