Positive Energy Practices
Judith Orloff, M.D.
2006

A licensed psychiatrist with appearances on Oprah to her credit, Dr. Julia Orloff brings her unique approach to combating stress to audio-book form with Positive Energy Practices. Regaling the listener with techniques and exercises to enhance positive energy, Orloff also takes a hard-line approach to what she terms "energy vampires"—friends and acquaintances, groups, crowds, family members, anyone who might unconsciously, or consciously, be draining you of energy. Types include the sob sister, the drama queen, the blamer, the constant talker, the go-for-the-jugular friend, and the outwardly nice socializer. Ever the patient medical professional, Orloff's measured speech makes a nice anchor for the sometimes shockingly aggressive tactics she advocates for clearing our friend roster of psychic vampires.

What Orloff makes clear in the first disc is that we have control over how much energy we give off. "You can amp certain energies up for some people, and you can tone down energies for others," she says. She then illustrates an array of ways to do this, such as pinpointing our finest qualities and emphasizing them in our day-to-day actions. A big question here is "Are you an intuitive empath?" Orloff describes this as someone who is so sensitive to energy that they get exhausted by it; being an energy sponge or shock absorber can make you exhausted. It can turn into a good gift to have, but you need to know how to use it, rather than having it use you, and Orloff can show you how.

Disc two concentrates on identification of the psychic vampires and the exercises you can use to free yourself of them, such as "Practice 7: The Constant Talker," who is easily identified as one who doesn't "even pause for a breath so you can interrupt them." She notes that "constant talkers do not respond to nonverbal cues," so you must practice interrupting them. It's these little things that are so hard but that can be most important, and Orloff can help. In a self-help market crowded with overly generalized solutions, it's a thrill to find a care practitioner like Orloff who is so focused on these seemingly minor annoyances. With her help we can reclaim a lot of the energy we give away every day and never realize, and in doing so harness that energy for more complex and rewarding meditations and practices.
