Dear Reader,
Have you ever had a moment where Life responded to you...and you couldn’t fully explain why it happened?
Not in a way that felt dramatic or theatrical, but in a way that made you pause and sense that something deeper might be unfolding beneath what you could see.
During our recent monthly gathering, someone shared something that brought back a memory from many years ago.
I hadn’t thought about it in a long time, but when it resurfaced, I immediately felt how meaningful it was.
What stayed with me wasn’t only the experience itself, but what it revealed about connection.
We tend to move through our days assuming that Life is happening around us.
We make choices, we take action, we hope things work out.
But what if Life is not just happening around you? What if it is responding to you?
What if there is an ongoing exchange between your inner world and the world around you, even when you aren’t consciously trying to make anything happen?
Sometimes it takes a single unexpected moment to realize that the line between you and Life might not be as fixed as you once believed.
That realization is what this memory brought back to me.
If that idea stirs something in you, stay with me.
Now let's get ALIGNED...

The Story
Many years ago, I was at a spiritual retreat where the teacher was speaking about how we communicate beyond words.
He was talking about intention, energy, and the way we’re constantly connected to one another whether we realize it or not.
At the time, I understood what he was saying in theory. It made sense conceptually, but I had never really tested it for myself in a simple, ordinary moment.
Later that afternoon, a group of us went down to the hotel restaurant for lunch.
The place was crowded, and our waiter was helping another table on the opposite side of the room. He wasn’t looking in our direction, and there was no reason for him to suddenly come over to us.
For some reason, I felt this playful curiosity rise up in me.
I remember thinking, let me try this and see what happens if I direct my attention toward him without saying anything out loud.
So I did.
I didn’t wave him down or try to catch his eye. I simply focused and, in my mind, told him that I was ready and that he should come right over.
There was a firmness to it. Not forceful, but intentional. I wasn’t hoping. I was directing.
Within moments, he finished what he was doing, turned, and walked straight toward our table.
He didn’t look around the room first or hesitate. He came directly over and asked how everything was going.
I answered him casually, but inside I felt that quiet recognition that something had just happened.
It wasn’t dramatic, and I didn’t feel the need to explain it to anyone.
I just knew, in a very calm way, that connection doesn’t depend on words.
I had completely forgotten about that experience until it resurfaced during our recent gathering, and remembering it again reminded me how subtle and real that invisible exchange can be.
The Spiritual Lesson
When I look back on that moment now, what stands out to me isn’t that I controlled anything.
It’s that I was aligned.
I wasn’t straining. I wasn’t trying to override his free will. I simply became clear inside myself, and I held that clarity without wavering.
There was a quiet confidence in it. Almost playful, but steady.
And something met it.
That experience helped me understand energetic resonance in a very ordinary, tangible way.
We are constantly in relationship with the field around us.
Not in a dramatic sense, but in the same way that tuning forks respond to one another when they share the same frequency.
When you become internally coherent, when your attention and intention are unified instead of scattered, the environment around you often reorganizes in response. Not because you forced it to, but because resonance is a real principle.
Energy recognizes itself.
That afternoon in the restaurant was not about proving a mystical theory. It was about noticing that my inner state was not separate from what unfolded next. The clarity I held inside had a tone to it. And that tone was answered.
Since then, I’ve paid closer attention to the quality of energy I carry into moments.
When I am uncertain, I can feel the uncertainty echo back to me. When I am grounded and clear, I notice how often things align with that grounded clarity.
There is something lawful about that.
Not rigid. Not mechanical.
But dependable.
And once you recognize it, you start to move through Life differently.
A little more aware. A little more intentional. A little more willing to experiment with the energy you’re bringing into the room.
Your Call to Action
Here's a gentle invitation for the week ahead:
If this story resonates with you, I want you to try something simple.
The next time you’re about to walk into a conversation, or send a message, or wait for someone to respond, notice the difference between hoping and deciding.
Instead of quietly wishing it goes a certain way, take a moment to become clear inside yourself and hold it with calm certainty, the kind that doesn’t need to push or grasp because it already knows.
See how that feels in your body and pay attention to what shifts.
You may not have a waiter cross the room toward you, but you might notice that interactions feel easier, that people respond differently, or that what once felt blocked begins to move.
Play with it, not to control Life, but to participate with it more consciously.
And if you’d like to see the moment when this memory resurfaced during our recent gathering, I’ve included the short clip below. Sometimes watching it unfold carries a different kind of clarity.
The Deeper Truth
When I think about that afternoon now, I realize it wasn’t really about the waiter.
It was about remembering that the energy I carry into a moment matters. That Life isn't random, but responsive.
And once you begin to notice that, you start moving differently. A little more clear. A little more intentional. A little more aware of what you’re transmitting before you ever speak.
You don’t have to say a word for energy to speak.
Abundant Blessings and Namaste.
