How many of you are familiar with the Dog Whisperer, Cesar Millan? If you have not had a chance to watch his show, I recommend you watch at least one episode.

I love dogs and enjoy the show, but what inspires me
the most is his spiritual gift of discovering the animals’ response, not by
commands, but by the owner’s emotions and energy. That is profound to me;
however, it makes perfect sense also.
Since I’ve been watching the show, I started
watching humans and how they portray negative or positive energy in their own
household. Our energy determines how we can disrupt our household or create
peace. If we are constantly in a hurry, we become frustrated easily, we make mistakes
often, and then anger, self pity, and defeat surfaces. Yep, we are defeated
because we give in and give up ~ you say things like, “That’s it, I quit.
No one ever listens to me around here”!

Take a good look at how you respond the next time
your child spills something or talks back. Do you discipline them by shouting
and hitting or do you give them a firm command, “Clean it up” or “Be Quiet”! For
example: My children have talked back or tried to and I cut if off quick with a
firm response of, “aught”, I’m still talking”! They immediately got quiet and
listened. When I was through, they were able to speak, but with respect. I took
control, not them and the situation did not escalate into chaos!

We create positive or negative energy by how we think
and respond. If you are not calm or disciplined in your thoughts, you will not
be calm or disciplined in your actions.
But I say: Don’t make any vows! And even to say ‘By heavens!’ is a sacred vow to God, for the heavens are God’s throne. And if you say ‘By the earth!’ it is a sacred vow, for the earth is his footstool. And don’t swear ‘By Jerusalem!’ for Jerusalem is the capital of the great King. Don’t even swear ‘By my head!’ for you can’t turn one hair white or black. Say just a simple ‘Yes, I will’ or ‘No, I won’t.’ Your word is enough. To strengthen your promise with a vow shows that something is wrong. Matthew 5:34-37 TLB
