Even meditating as little as 15 minutes a day can have a dramatic effect on our emotional energy the rest of the day. Prayer is equally powerful. Some may dismiss the clever saying "the couple that prays together stays together" as a simple rhyme. The act of praying with another gets to the heart of creating compatible energy. The prayer does not have to be elaborate, what is important is that it is done together with the shared energy of gratitude.

This is not to say we have to have the exact same feelings, desires and opinions as our beloved.

Part of what attracted you to your mate was your many differences. The object is to create harmonious energy and when you both embrace the energy of compassion, respect, honesty and play, magical things will begin to show up in your energy field.

The third way to alter you energy is through knowledge and understanding key principles as they relate to energy.

We recently found a wonderful new book that addresses many facets of energy, Peak Vitality.

Edited by Jeanne House, M.A. the book is a source of powerful wisdom for dozens of top experts in the mind, body, spirit and energy fields.

Among the contributors are numerous outstanding authors Mehmet Oz, Deepak Chopra, John Gray, Eckhart Tolle, Prince Charles, Dawsom Church, Stephen Lewis and Lynne McTaggart

There is a lot of great material to cull through!

We loved Stephen Lewis' chapter on "Energetic Balancing,". We are huge fans of his work and long time participants in his AIM Program, a technology he explains fully in Peak Vitality. Everything he has to say about energy is always eye-opening and, often, life changing.

Dawson Church, an old friend going back to 1982, also has a terrific chapter "Your DNA is Not Your Destiny." He takes a fascinating look at genetics and choices we make. He is also an associate editor of the book.

There are many chapters packed with advice about energy that was simple to implement into my daily life. The book is nicely edited by Jeanne House and covers so many topics including some of the most ground-breaking work being done in the field of energy today.

Peak Vitality calls us to examine our own energy as it relates to thinking, feeling and experiencing—then go beyond that. It is a powerful place to be, in control of your own energy center.

Everything is energy, that is never more apparent than each spring. We survive the winter with plants, trees and flowers that appear dead. They may even remind us of past or even current relationships.

But take heart because the plants and trees are not gone and the tulip bulbs are simply underground.

The same holds true for our relationships. No relationship is ever dead. Plant a few seeds of kindness or forgiveness, guard your own energy thoughts with the strategies in Peak Vitality and then give it a little time.

You will be pleasantly surprised to see just how beautifully your relationships can grow!
