VIBES

by

The vibes are there to guide us through life, to warn us of potential crisis and difficulties, they let us know where to go and who to talk to, where not to go and who to stay away from Whether it’s a person or a situation, we’ve all had moments when we just needed to walk away. We felt this urge to distance ourselves from “something” that just didn’t feel right. We can’t always put our finger on why but that instinct is right and we need to listen to it.

Learn to quiet the mind and tap into that inner voice. Learn to be still and feel the energy around you. Notice how you feel around certain people and trust that instinct when it says to either distance yourself or get closer.Learn to become a little more in tune with the energy around you and see how you can shift yours to one that contributes more positive and shield yourself from the negative.
