Yoko Ono once said, "Try to say nothing negative about anybody for three days, for forty-five days, for three months. See what happens to your life." At first glance, it seems like a simple challenge... a social experiment in kindness. But behind it lies something much deeper: a profound shift in energy, awareness, and ultimately, our sense of self.
Everything we do, think, and say generates energy... either positive or negative. Nothing we put out into the world is neutral. Our mindset, the people we keep around us, the words we use, and even our silent judgments all carry frequencies that shape our reality. At our core, we are not just flesh and thought. We are electric, energetic beings... light and love in motion. Science confirms that our bodies run on electrical impulses, but many spiritual traditions go a step further: they assert that our energy doesn't stop at the skin. It radiates outward and interacts with everything and everyone we encounter.
Psychic medium Rebecca Rosen, in her book 'What the Dead Have Taught Me About Living Well', illustrates this energetic truth through what many would call metaphysical experiences. She recounts how spirits (those who have passed on) can manipulate electricity, causing blown lightbulbs or flickering lights as a way to signal their presence. According to Rosen, these aren't accidents. They're energetic interactions... spirit communicating through the same frequency on which we operate, just at a higher vibration.
Children, too, often serve as open channels for this kind of unseen communication. Rosen notes how toddlers, unburdened by skepticism or ego, can be vessels for messages from the spirit world. They live in the now, their intuitive senses still fresh, uncluttered by societal filters. I've seen this firsthand. After the passing of my mother, I had a vivid, hyper-real dream... what Rosen termed a “spirit visitation.” Not long after, my young daughter, barely three years old, said something to me that felt eerily precise, like a message passed down from someone beyond. Her words pierced straight through to my spirit in a way that felt intentional, not coincidental.
Moments like these remind us that healing (emotional, spiritual, energetic) comes not just through therapy or medication, but through raising our vibration. And that begins with intention. When we commit to speaking no ill of others, when we filter our language to support, uplift, and inspire, our entire frequency changes. Life meets us at the level we choose to vibrate. Want peace? Speak peace. Want clarity? Think clearly. Want love? Be love.
Simple acts raise this vibration: eating more plant-based foods, staying hydrated, walking barefoot in nature, watching a good comedy, dancing in the kitchen, or losing yourself in music that stirs your soul. All of these reconnect us with joy... the natural state we often forget is our birthright. And humor, oddly enough, seems to be a language of the beyond. Countless people who've experienced near-death experiences (NDEs) speak of an overwhelming, all-accepting Being of Light who communicates not through speech, but through pure thought. What surprises many is that this divine presence often has a sense of humor. Not mockery, but joy... a playful reminder that life, even at its most mysterious, doesn’t have to be so heavy.
That joy, that ease, is always available to us. But we block it with criticism, negativity, fear, and judgment. Words matter. Energy matters. And once we become aware of the kind of vibration we’re emitting into the world... through gossip, complaints, or even self-deprecating jokes... we begin to see how that energy boomerangs back to us in experience.
So when Yoko Ono challenges us to go three days, then forty-five, then three months without saying anything negative about anyone, she’s really asking us to detox our energy. To clean our emotional and spiritual frequency. The results? A quieter mind. More gratitude. Lighter days. A clearer path.
We are more than what we have become. We are not meant to walk this Earth weighed down by bitterness or stress or the energy of things we cannot control. We are meant to radiate... to illuminate the lives we touch, and to remember, always, that love and light are not distant ideals. They are who we are when we choose not to forget.
