ENERGY AND EMOTIONS
Everything is "energy," and "energy," is everything. We live in a duality reality, therefore we cannot have "positive energy," without having "negative energy." We do, however, have free will, and free will, allows us to choose how we want to use or direct that "energy." This is even true with our emotions. What are emotions? Common sense says that most people will answer; "it's a feeling, like joy, happiness, sadness or depression." And while that way of thinking is true, where do these "emotions" come from? Emotions are formed by thoughts and all thoughts are "energy." So, the next time you're feeling sad or unhappy, shift the "energy" of your thoughts to a higher vibration.
That doesn't mean if you're sad and hurting because someone died, you need to shift your "energy" to try and make yourself happy, because that will not work. In such an instance, I would try to recall a "thought" of that person that makes you smile or laugh. This will help you to recall more pleasant memories (thoughts), causing a domino effect of "positive energy," which will gently change your "emotional" status at a pace that's right for you. Where a shift would work immediately is if someone really ticked you off about something minor, and you let your "emotions" spiral out of control. This would be a good time to take a breath and guide your thoughts to something upbeat and positive.
