IT'S ALL ENERGY

#          Good Vibrations...

This is Patsy Wynne inviting you to share the next hour with me... enjoying my choice of music... which sometimes surprises me... and always delights... HELLO to whoever’s listening in hospital... and to those who may be listening online... WELCOME to you too!

Today I’m thinking about ENERGY... and what it means... in between the music... which I hope will give you food for thought... make you smile... and most of all lift your spirits.  And I’m doing requests today... from friends and family... and anyone else... which will make a change from my choice of music... and the first one’s for Cathy... who is a ray of sunshine...

#1        Ain’t no Sunshine... Bill Withers

I’ve not seen Oprah Winfrey’s show on TV for some time... but I believe that as 17.6 million people watched Oprah’s final show in the US... the main topic of her show was…  “It’s all ENERGY!”    She said... “You are responsible for the energy that you create for yourself, and you are responsible for the energy that you bring to others.  Please take responsibility for the energy you bring into this space.’”  WOW!  That’s one amazing woman...  and this is for Julie...

#2        Ruby Tuesday... Melanie

Hello to Sarah who’s joined us... so Sarah... what do you know about ENERGY? 

Of course... you know that you have to pay for the energy to heat your home... electric and gas... nuclear energy... and you’re aware of your own energy... how energetic you feel when you wake up in the morning... or not... whether you have the energy to go out and party at night... or visit your in-laws at the weekend... and especially when you’re sick... or getting older... when you feel your energy is lacking... draining away.   

And then there’s the energy we get from the food we eat... do you have more energy after a meal? Or do you feel tired and sluggish? And could that have something to do with the kind of food you eat?  Or even... the timing of your meals?  We all know how it feels after a large Celebration dinner... like at Xmas... you just have to relax and give it time to digest... before anyone can move. But anyone can learn to eat the right foods for maximum energy... and at the right time... like... eating more in the first half of the day and very little at night... much better for the digestion.  Food is energy... and healthy eating is the most important way to keep your energy high. You may have heard of the macrobiotic diet... that’s very healthy... and here’s a request for Phil... who always eats that way...

#3        Waterloo Sunset... Kinks

Oprah said... “You are responsible for the energy that you create for yourself, and you are responsible for the energy that you bring to others.  Please take responsibility for the energy you bring into this space.’”  So what did Oprah mean by that?  What’s this energy she’s talking about?  Well... ever since Einstein formulated his... E= mc2... that is... energy equals matter... matter is energy...  scientists have been discovering just how true this is... that we are all energy... from the rock of the mountains to the waters of the sea... from the smallest plant life to the largest mammal on the planet... not forgetting us humans... all of us... WE ARE ALL ENERGY... which makes us all one... linked in a matrix of energy. This one is Sarah’s choice...

#4        My Girl... Madness

Some medical doctors are now saying...  “The Next Big Frontier in Medicine is Energy Medicine.”  So what does that mean?  Well... It means addressing your life at the most basic, most quantum, most powerful level.  It means understanding your personal energy at levels you may have never thought about.  It means healing yourself from the Inside Out... dealing with the source of your dis-comfort and dis-ease... the chronic anxiety... allergies... addictions... that have a root cause in the past... from childhood... and maybe even further back... to ancestral family patterns... ways of thinking and behaviour... going through generations... it’s like a detective story...

And the next request is for Mark... who’s chosen this because of the way it tells a story... and this story reminds him of certain experiences in his life...

#5        Our Mutual Friend... Divine Comedy

Don’t forget that we always welcome your requests for a particular record, or a mention of someone or something special... and if you have an interesting or funny story to tell, connected to a special song... we’d love to hear from you.   You can contact Radio Glan Clwyd by phone on 01745-584229... or, if you’re here in hospital, on Extension 4360 or, or ask one of the volunteers going around the wards... of whom Sarah is one... You can also listen online at... www.rygc.co.uk.   Now we have a request for Llawen...  who’s off school for the summer hols...

#6        Ain’t it funny... Jennifer Lopez

I mentioned that “The Next Big Frontier in Medicine is Energy Medicine.”... and you may have heard me talk about EFT before... which comes under that heading... as it works on the Meridian Energy system of the body as understood by Chinese medicine for thousands of years.  Emotional Freedom Techniques is a tapping routine... on acu-points... which you can use to reduce any emotional disturbance... whenever you feel fearful... panicky... or sick... or even in pain...  If you’d like to follow along with me...  

• First identify what you’re feeling... if you’re ill... tired... or anxious... feel into your body and locate the core feeling... what do you feel... and where do you feel it in your body?
• Maybe it’s a headache... or a heavy feeling in your chest... or a sick feeling in your stomach... or your legs keep moving when you’re trying to relax... whatever it is...
• Start tapping the Karate Chop Point... the outer edge of one hand below the little finger... with the fingertips of the other hand... taking a few deep breaths... while focussing on what you’re feeling...
• Take a deep breath ... then say out loud...

•  Even though I’m feeling... sick and tired...  (Whatever it is...)

• I completely love and accept myself anyway...

• Even though I’m feeling ... anxious in my stomach...  (Whatever it is...)
• I accept this feeling... I’m doing the best I can...
• I forgive myself for anything I may have done to contribute to this...............
• WRISTS... inside wrists together... I accept this feeling of...
• Back of hand, below the 3^rd ring finger... I accept this feeling of...  
• TOP OF HEAD... this feeling... maybe I could just let it go...
• Collarbone... Chest... (take a long deep breath)... I can decide to take responsibility for my feelings... accept my life... just as it is... I can choose to appreciate all the good things in my life... and focus on all that I love... and those who love me... I fill my heart with all that love... until it overflows into all the cells of my body... and makes my whole body feel good...
• Keep breathing while you’re tapping your chest... until you feel loving energy moving through your body... and give thanks for this energy...

There’s more to it than this of course... and you may need help... because when you start a dialogue with yourself like this... it can lead to new a understanding... about yourself and your life.  When you start to examine your motivations and expectations... and talk them through... you might be surprised at where they came from. Because some of your beliefs and ideals... may not be yours... but ideas you picked up along the way from others.  But when you do this simple exercise regularly... the more you do this, the better you feel about yourself and the easier it is to accept, love and forgive yourself... and others... just try it and see...

·         Sarah... how was that for you?  That’s good...Amelia has asked for this next one...

#7        Never Break The Chain... Fleetwood Mack

Now, if we’re all connected... in a matrix of energy... it follows that whatever we do.. however we behave... doesn’t just affect our closest family and friends... but has a knock-on effect... on our community... school, college... where we work... which impacts on the society we live in... and spirals out into the world.  Which means that ultimately, we... each of us individually... are responsible for the state of the world... and that’s something to think about...   and this is another request for Llawen... maybe she wasn’t happy with the first choice...

#8        She Wolf... Shakira

I hope that made Llawen happy... and Georgia as well... because I can’t find any of her choices...

The best way to feel good about life... is to cultivate an ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE.  You know... Count Your Blessings...

The time to be happy is now. The place to be happy is here.
The way to be happy is to make others so. 

And this is a quote from Ghandi...

Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words

Keep your words positive because your words become your behaviours

Keep your behaviour positive because your behaviours become your habits

Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values

Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny

This is for Annie...

#9        Say a Little Prayer... Aretha Franklyn

What it all comes down to... is that my attitude has an energy... that affects you... either makes you feel good... or gives you a bad feeling... that you then pass on to others through your attitude. And for all those who exude the energy of love and joy... there are many who spread doom and gloom... fear and doubt... distrust and hate... which contaminate the world like a plague.  So watch your attitude... and keep your energy bright... with the flame of Trust and Love... for the sake of humanity...

#10      Ain’t no Sunshine... Bill Withers

We all know those who think the world owes them a living... and many who will not take responsibility for their own lives... but moan and groan about how bad their lives are... while others who’s circumstances may be just as bad... who do take responsibility and get on with life. That’s all part of the world’s energy!  I’d like to re-phrase the words of John F Kennedy... “Ask, not what the world can do for you... but what you can do for the World.”  Now that’s inspired... that’s energetic... that kind of attitude can motivate us all to heal the world... if we all keep spreading that thought...

I’d like to thank you all for accompanying me on this journey today and I trust you’ve enjoyed my take on Life, the Universe and Everything... which I hope will help on your journey through life... and this is Patsy Wynne signing off for today... from Radio Glan Clwyd...  and remember... Always look on the bright side...
