Forcing yourself to continue writing when you're wrong about a story being ready will produce poor results. Here's how to tell if your story isn't ready.
As we move out of the age of technology and into the age of intuition, we need the tools to understand what it means to be a vibrational being, how our thoughts, emotions, and natural frequency affect us. Rather than being carried by external, conflicting energies, we can still our minds, and become aware of who we are—our natural frequency—and what we truly want to create. By developing a conscious sensitivity of our natural frequency, we increase our creativity, clarity, and peace in daily life; by understanding the role that energy plays, we understand the real power behind the laws of the universe. As we grow to realize our true potential as energetic beings, Frequency gives readers the tools to understand how and why their natural frequency interacts with the world around them. Penney Peirce, a well respected author, teacher, and intuitive consultant, gives readers a deep and fascinating look at their potential as energetic beings—as well as the progression of ideas that heralds a new way of thinking in the world today.
