“Discover how energy invested wisely returns as joy and abundance.” ~Crystal Wind

Read Time: 12 min | 

My dear friends, we love you so very much,

Most of you understand the basic principles of investing. If you invest your time or money in a good product or a solid institution, you have the potential to make more money than you would with a salary or hourly wage. Conversely, if you put your time or money into a poor product — one that no one is looking for — or into an unstable or unethical institution, you could easily lose your resources.

Investing can help you understand a little more about how the energy you spend in your life brings you returns, for at all times, you are making investments in your future. The energy you emit through your thoughts and words and imbue in your actions is either an investment in a loving and desirable future or an investment in more of the same.

For example, anything you do with love is a wise investment, for your joy will bring a return of greater joy. Anytime you speak with love or appreciation, you are also investing love and will inevitably see more to love or appreciate.

Anytime you do something with upset, fear, doubt, or resentment, you are investing in lower vibrational energies that will only return more of the same. When you speak of something or someone negatively or with unpleasant emotion, you are investing in more negativity and frustration. That is not the return that most of you seek.

So, as you go about your life, ask yourself, “What future am I investing in, in this moment?” Is it a future filled with love, joy, and abundance? If you are feeling content or happy, appreciating life, speaking kindly, and noticing all the good there is to see, you are investing in a beautiful future. If you are focused on all that is going wrong and who has wronged you, you are investing in a future filled with more of the same.

Most of you have a mixture of energetic “investments” in the course of a day. Most of you have many more loving investments than you might realize. Even slightly more than 50% of positive investments will bring a kinder return! So your goal is not to be perfect but rather to choose to invest your time, your thoughts, your words, and above all your energy in the investments most likely to bring you what you want to experience in life.

“If you were to pay more attention to how you invest your energy than to what others are doing, you would rise above the influence of others.”

If you were to pay more attention to how you invest your energy than to what others are doing, you would rise above the influence of others. If you were able to invest your energy in thoughts of appreciating abundance where it can be found — counting your blessings, noticing that item you got on sale, delighting in the penny from heaven — then you are investing in an increasingly abundant future.

The good news is that you can change your energetic “investment strategy” in a single moment. Suppose you are having a challenging day. Everything appears to be frustrating you. You can stop for a moment. Pause. Take a few deep breaths and look for something to appreciate. Most of you have stable ground beneath your feet. Most of you eat well every day. Most of you have good people in your life. Most of you have read an inspiring quote that elevates your spirit or have a song that lifts you when your energy is low.

Simply switch your investment from thoughts of frustration to thoughts of appreciation. Then go back to the things that frustrate you with new energy. They may still be frustrating, but you’ll be investing in their solution again instead of the injustice of their presence. A few moments of counting your blessings can put everything in perspective.

There are times when you are lost in grief or fear. Still, you can find kind comforts for yourself. You can sit with your angels. You can call a friend. You can take a nap. Those tiny kindnesses are investments in a better-feeling moment and, over time, a better-feeling life. Even when you cannot fathom ever feeling good again, you can “invest your pennies” by choosing simple pleasures and small kindnesses. Your small investments in a kinder life will compound and help you return to feeling better over time.

Dear ones, in every moment you are investing. Do your must-dos with love. Acknowledge the unpleasant or frustrating things in life, but give them less attention and less airtime. Focus on what is working, and from that space of gratitude, conquer the challenges. Acknowledge your own feelings, of course, then choose to love yourself through them, for love is always a wise investment. When you are sad and comfort yourself, you are investing in future comforts and kindness. When you are angry and give yourself the space to be, you are investing in a future where your emotions are accepted and you are loved through them.

Not everyone and every situation will reflect your “invested” energy. Sometimes these investments take time to mature and ripen before you see the results in your life. Nonetheless, the investments you make today with your thoughts, words, and above all, energy are defining your future returns.

God Bless You! We love you so very much.

Message from Ann...

Hi Everyone,

I asked the angels for a quick newsletter today. I am getting ready for a family visit in August, when I’ll be offline for several weeks, so I need to channel three newsletters in advance. One usually takes a large portion of a day, so I was heartened when I sat down and they dropped this one in on me! I don’t think they’ve ever used a financial metaphor before, but I loved the perspective.

I had to stop myself earlier today. I wasn’t thinking in terms of investment, but I was thinking, “Uh oh, I have a million things to get done so I can relax and enjoy my family!” I’m organizing. I’ve got the newsletters. I had to update some things on Etsy because I won’t be able to do much other than customer service. I have finances and work that need to be organized. And those are just a few things on a to-do list that grows every day. At this age, I do not take a precious minute for granted with my senior family members. We don’t know how much time we have, and I want to treasure every moment together. I’ll be seeing my nieces too, and as every one of you with kids in your life knows, if you miss the moment, it flashes by quickly.

I started the morning with every good intention to move quickly through the to-do list. Then I got an email that required me to spend time with customer service at a financial institution. Half an hour later, they determined they had a bug in their software. I spent another half hour with my Etsy printer until they determined they had a bug in their system. I got frustrated, got up, and tripped... You can see where this is going! About that time, it occurred to me that I was investing in the energy of frustration! And I knew I needed to stop that ASAP or I’d get more.

I did as the angels advise all of us. I stopped. I took a few breaths. I reminded myself that, in a good space, all would be accomplished easily. I reminded myself that it was a blessing to help the companies involved find the bugs in their software so they could be fixed. One system is already working better. I realized I was hungry, so I stopped working and fixed the breakfast I had forgotten to eat. Suddenly, everything seemed doable. I got a few projects accomplished easily, enjoyed my biweekly visit to the cold plunge, did a short reading for someone who works there, came home, organized an area of the house, and am now truly enjoying the newsletter!

Back in flow, things are easy. In my overwhelmed “uh oh” energy, I created overwhelm and frustration. In my frustration with software bugs, I inspired another situation with bad software! In my frustration, I tripped. And after I recalibrated, which took about two minutes, the day has been beautiful and brilliant. It’s time for dinner. Then I’m going to see what new newsletters arrive for the next few weeks so you can all continue to enjoy the connection while I am “investing” in loving my family :)

Using the Angels’ Metaphor of “Investing” Every Moment

Here are a few tips to help you make wise energetic investments!

1. Notice that “Energy Invested = Energy Returned”… from the Bank of the Universe

When you consider the energy you are feeling in the moment, ask yourself, “Do I want more of this feeling?” If so, continue. If not, change your thoughts, actions, or perspective to create an energy you would like to see more of. A quick way to determine your “investment” in the moment is to ask yourself, “How am I feeling?” Happy, content, excited, sad, frustrated, joyous, neutral? The answer will tell you what return this energy is creating.

This is not saying that if you “invest” love in a job, person, or situation, that particular job, person, or situation will grant you the return. Instead, the “Bank of the Universe” will make sure you get a return, even if a particular job, person, or situation is not the vehicle through which it comes. For example, you may be loving and kind to someone who completely abandons or ignores you. You did nothing wrong. Hold your head up high. Continue to be loving. You’ll lose the ones who can’t return your energy and attract new ones who will.

2. Create an Energetic “Investment Strategy”

Write down different positive emotions — one per page — in a journal. Write down various things, actions, thoughts, and situations that inspire these feelings. For example, your “Peace” page might list beautiful songs, a warm blanket, a cup of tea or a half glass of wine, watching your dog, breathing deeply, meditating, watching a candle flame, etc. Your “Joy” page might include going to the farmers market, spending time with a friend, reading a book by an author you love, listening to a song that gets you up and dancing, walking in nature, or anything else that brings you joy. Your “Abundance” page might list things like organizing your finances, counting your blessings, opening your pantry, thinking of all the people you love, reflecting on the places you’ve been or experiences you’ve had, counting your gifts and talents, etc.

3. Keep a “Balance Sheet”

Every night write down some of your best energetic investments — what you did and how they made you feel. Then write down, completely separately, what returns you saw today and how they made you feel. A day might not reveal all your returns, but over time, you’ll notice them and begin to appreciate how much more control we have over what we get based on our “investments” in the present moment.

I’m investing in thoughts of love and appreciation now for all of you, and my friends and family. I’m investing in thoughts of joyful anticipation about my dinner and using up some pantry ingredients I discovered in my cleaning-fest over the past few days. And I’m investing in thoughts of contentment, sitting here in a cool house on a hot, beautiful day as the wind kicks up outside and the skies turn sunset pink. Time to grab my delicious dinner, then return to channel a few more chats with heaven :)

May your week be filled with great “investments” and joyous “returns.”

Have a blessed week,
Love,
Ann
