            <description>    &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Do you ever get the sense that something is going to change, something big in your life?&amp;#160; I&amp;#39;ve been getting a few signs lately that change is coming..and I am hoping it will be for the better ;o)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Making It Happen&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dailyom.com/articles/2009/20774.html&quot;&gt;DailyOm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are times in our lives when all the signs seem to be pointing us in a particular direction. Our thoughts and dreams are echoed in the songs and stories we hear and the media we see. Maybe the message we are getting from the universe doesn’t even make sense in the “real” world, but somewhere inside, these urges feel right. Maybe you feel you are being told to move to a new city although your life where you are is just fine. Or maybe you feel the desire to pursue a new direction in your career when it never really interested you before. When we spend time getting in touch with our higher selves, our intuition sends us directives to lead us to become our best and most fulfilled selves. And when we are open and listening, the next step is to take action and go for it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once we make the decision to pursue our inner urgings, the universe sets into motion the means for all sorts of details to fall into place. A sense of peace will come over us, because we know that any questions will no longer make us wonder if our dreams are possible, but how to make them happen. Instead of deterring us from our goal, these questions only serve to clarify our focus to move us forward. We need not throw caution to the wind to follow our dream. The positive shift in our energy affects everything around us. Like a rush of water, it goes ahead to clear debris from our path so that we can go forward. Our new attitude also attracts likeminded people. Sometimes even the most unlikely angels arrive to help us along our way with the information and support we need.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wherever your dreams are pointing you today, take a step. Take action and manifest your inner urges and soul whisperings. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center&quot;&gt; &lt;/div&gt;    &lt;p style=&quot;clear:both;&quot;&gt;

            <description>    &lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;ve been battling the flu these past few days, and I think I am finally coming out of the &amp;quot;fog.&amp;quot;&amp;#160; I am trying to get back into the swing of things slowly, and I found the below passage a helpful reminder to surround myself with positive experiences.&amp;#160; Hope you have a great day ;o)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Joyful Flow&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good Vibrations&lt;br /&gt;from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dailyom.com/articles/2009/20750.html&quot;&gt;The Daily Om&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Feelings vibrate, just as all things in the universe do, at a particular frequency. Negative feelings like anger, guilt, and depression vibrate at low frequencies, while positive feelings like joy, appreciation, and passion vibrate at high frequencies. These high frequency vibrations make us feel good. This is why people and places that inspire and cultivate positive feelings have what we call good vibrations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Good vibrations inspire health, happiness, and optimism. When we are tuned in to good vibrations, our bodies heal, our hearts open, and our minds shift toward the light. We see new possibilities and feel powerfully energized to follow our inner visions. At the same time, we feel relaxed and capable of manifesting these visions without giving in to stress or struggle. Good vibrations put us in a state of perfect receptivity so that we feel it is the energy flowing through us that accomplishes what needs to be done. We feel guided, supported, protected, and nourished within this joyful flow. We sometimes forget that we are allowed to feel this way all the time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lower frequency vibrations are not bad in a moral sense, but they are bad in the sense that they simply don’t feel good. Still, they have a purpose, which is to alert us to the fact that we are blocking out the higher frequency vibrations that we need to function well. They are a call for healing ourselves from within. The key to our healing lies in remembering that it is our birthright to feel good and that feeling good is the essence of our true nature. When we are receiving and sending out good vibrations, we are in the flow. When we are not, we can begin to raise our vibration by seeking out people, places, and situations that vibrate at a higher frequency. Whether we need to go on retreat or just call a friend who makes us laugh, seeking out those good vibrations and basking in them is a sacred and loving practice that returns us, time and again, to the joyful flow of the universe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&quot;clear:both;&quot;&gt;
