I recently saw a banner hanging across the road - “Crop Walk - End Hunger,” it said, and it caught my attention because it focuses on the wrong thing.

I’m not saying that I think there should be hunger. What I’m saying is that putting energy into what you don’t want actually adds power to the wrong side of the issue. To say “End Hunger” actually gives energy to hunger; this is focusing on what’s not wanted. “Feed the hungry,” on the other hand, focuses on the desired outcome.

Think of it this way: studies have shown that when a group of people get together to collectively pray for the recovery of a seriously ill person, their prayers get results. These prayers are not said against the ailment or injury from which the person suffers; the prayers are said for the healing of that person. In other words, the prayers that work focus on what’s wanted (healing), NOT on what’s not wanted (illness, injury, disease).

Putting energy into what you want - individually or collectively - creates an energetic shift that makes it more likely that you’ll get it. This is why I tell all my clients to focus on what they want. This works on a group basis too, so whether it’s a political candidate, war vs. peace, illness vs. health, or hunger vs. food, put your energy into the one you WANT. Envision your favored candidate winning, peace where there’s conflict, health where there’s illness, or food where there’s hunger.

A nice side effect - it feels good! It literally feels better to focus on what you want rather than focusing on the opposite. It’s a subtle but very important shift in attention, INtention, and energy - try it!
