Why You Should Read the News

Many New Age people suggest that you should put yourself on a "negativity diet" and avoid reading or watching the news because it will put you in a negative space.

Consider instead that each time you watch the news and something negative appears on the screen, this is your opportunity to share some healing energy with the world.

Those who are empathic will also find that, even if they don't read the news, they still sense what is going on. By keeping yourself in the dark over world events, your aren't empowering yourself to help improve the negative situations going on.

So don't freak out just because something bad has happened in the world, to the point where you have to go run and hide from it.

Here's what you can do instead:

When something bad happens in the outside world, take a deep breath. Imagine that you are sending loving energy to the person or people in pain. Imagine golden healing energy sprinkling down from the sky onto the affected area.

Or, you can simply pray.

It is really that simple.

By doing so, you are helping the situation and offering healing energy to those affected. This will also help protect you from feeling down, disempowered, or negative over the event.

The more connected you are to your spiritual source, the more resilient you will be in the face of world challenges. Daily prayer, meditation, and exercise such as yoga will help you maintain balance and calm, so you can be strong and help others.
