I’m Picking Up Good Vibrations

In truth, it’s all about you.  How you feel.

I’m a child of the 50′s.  I grew up all over San Diego County, but when I was younger, we used to hang out at Wind n’ Sea.  This is a surfer beach in La Jolla.  I was just a kid and I remember when the grown-ups used to take a huge steel washtub and fill it full of sliced fruit, seven-up, wine and ice.  It looked very much like something I wanted to try, but alas, as a child, we weren’t allowed.  What was this magical elixir that only grown-ups could drink?  Though it would be several years before this magic elixir made it to store shelf, this is where the real wine coolers had their origins:  surfers.

I grew up around the sea, around sailors and surfers.  In the sixties, we used to say “vibes,” when we were talking about what you felt from a person when you were around them.  This applies today, even more so now that we know we are all made up of energy.  If you think about the fact everything we see is all about energy, then the term “vibration” means the energy that emanates from you; much like the ripples in a pond after a rock has been thrown into it.  These vibrations travel through the universe powered by your emotions and thoughts and bring back to you exactly what you’re feeling.

The Beach Boys had it right when they sang about Good Vibrations.  Really.  If you want to change your life, if you want to get into the flow of your own life, find a way to hook up with your own “good vibrations.”  Experience or do something that makes you feel good.

Burn some incense, put on some music that uplifts you and dance for a while.  That’ll get the blood a pumping and the energy level higher.  You are an energy being.  What you think about, what you feel and what you emote is pumped out into the universe.  Period.  No if’s, ands, or buts.  If you want to change your life, start there.
