"Often in the course of a session, people tell me of someone they're concerned about. Maybe they have a child, parent, or friend with a medical issue or financial problem. They say they worry about this person all day long as a token of their undying love.

"But if you care about someone, worry is the worst energy you can send. It directly transmits fear and restriction, since we usually visualize all the darkest possible outcomes. So even if it's well-intended, worry blankets the poor recipient's energy field in a negative vibe. Imagine a black Express Mail envelope marked 'Thinking of You' filled with muck, mildew, and a few skull bones.

"That's worry.

"So it's simple instead to learn to send blessings as soon as worry begins. Just hold the person in your mind filled with light and happiness, see them peaceful and content. Do it day after day. That's the single most useful gift you can mentally offer anyone you love.

"A woman called who was panicked about her daughter's first pregnancy. Every night she lay awake visualizing every possible disaster. Her imagination was on overdrive. 'What if her daughter tripped and fell down the stairs in her final trimester?' 'What if the baby was unexpectedly premature?' 'What if one day it hated its grandmother?'

"Because she and her daughter were so bound, I knew the young woman was receiving this energy and worrying even more. And then imagine what the fetus was receiving. The tiny thing is thinking, 'Yo, what are you crazy people out there sending me? I'm just floating here in amniotic happiness. What is up with you all?'

"So I convinced my client to send blessings.

"I got an email later. She had created a circle of friends and family who got on the phone every night to mentally send her daughter light. They surrounded the birth with ease and happiness.

"The daughter began to feel uplifted; the birth went well.

"Cynics might say it could have gone smoothly anyway, but who cares? Why make loved ones shovel their way through all the fear you're unintentionally sending?

"And if you think you don't have time to bless someone, consider how consuming worry can be. Anxiety can be a full-time hyper-focus mental devotion for an obsessed mind. And learning to shift from worry to blessings just takes practice.

"So send them.

"To your loved ones, to strangers, to enemies, to animals, to the planet.

"And of course, to you."
