A Birthday Wish for You and Me

It’s my birthday week, and a memory from 1993 just popped up… 32 years ago, I was given a self-published paperback copy of The Celestine Prophecy. At the time, I had just completed my PhD research on how the mind and body heal through movement. So when I opened those pages, one line really struck me:

“Where attention goes, energy flows.”

This week, that truth is pulsing through me again.

We live in such energetically charged times. If we let our attention get hijacked by clickbait headlines or divisive news, we don’t just consume it—we feed it. Our attention is fuel.

And let’s be clear—this isn’t some Pollyanna, spiritual-bypassing message. It’s about taking radical responsibility for where we place our attention and choosing to take action that is fueled by love, not fear. And when love fuels our attention, our actions ripple out in ways that heal the whole.

My birthday wish—for you and me—is that we guard our attention like the precious resource it is and spend it on what we most want to grow.

Birthday Invitation

I’d love for you to join me this week for a special PranaShakti Dance class:

 Where Attention Goes, Energy Flows 

In these charged times, what we focus on shapes not only our own lives but the world around us. This birthday-week class is an embodied reminder of our power to choose where our attention rests—and to let love, not fear, guide the flow of our energy.
