Even though I write about the soul and have frequent conversations with the universe, angels, and my spirit guides, I’m still a skeptic. I still have a logical mind that likes to see proof. Thankfully, I’ve received some amazing proof through the years to convince me that there is so much more to our universe than we can see or even imagine and to show me that we’re always loved.
I love when that happens because this proof melds my skeptical mind and loving heart together – so I can get on with life and live it to its fullest.
Today, I experienced more beautiful signs, which I wanted to share. I believe that we’re all receiving them each day, and it’s up to us to open to them and be aware of them.
I got the book E-Squared: Nine Do-It-Yourself Energy Experiments That Prove Your Thoughts Create Your Reality by Pam Grout in 2013 and began reading it. But this was around the time that our dog-ter, Xena, got sick and needed extra care and so the timing just didn’t feel right for me to go through the experiments then. Five months later, she passed away, and I went into a dark period of grief for about a year. I completely forgot about the book until recently.
We have a book club in the Soulful Life Sanctuary, and every other month we choose a new book to read together. This month, the members chose E-Squared!
Here’s what Amazon says about it:
E-Squared could best be described as a lab manual with simple experiments to prove once and for all that reality is malleable, that consciousness trumps matter, and that you shape your life with your mind. Rather than take it on faith, you are invited to conduct nine 48-hour experiments to prove there really is a positive, loving, totally hip force in the universe. Yes, you read that right. It says prove.
The experiments, each of which can be conducted with absolutely no money and very little time expenditure, demonstrate that spiritual principles are as dependable as gravity, as consistent as Newton’s laws of motion. For years, you’ve been hoping and praying that spiritual principles are true. Now, you can know.
E-Squared proves the following:
- There is an invisible energy force or field of infinite possibilities.
- You impact the field and draw from it according to your beliefs and expectations.
- You, too, are a field of energy.
- Whatever you focus on expands.
- Your connection to the field provides accurate and unlimited guidance.
- Your thoughts and consciousness impact matter.
- Your thoughts and consciousness provide the scaffolding for your physical body.
- You are connected to everything and everyone else in the universe.
- The universe is limitless, abundant, and strangely accommodating.
I loved that the sanctuary members chose this book, and I thought it was a perfect time to go through it and see what happened. I loved the premise of treating spirituality as a science experiment. I loved that while reading this book, we’re encouraged to find tangible proof for our connection to the energy that’s all around us. Just yesterday I started the first experiment, and I wanted to share some of my results.
The first experiment asks you to set the intention that a blessing will come into your life from the universe within 48 hours. Your only job is to stay open to it and be on the lookout.
So last night, at 9:18 pm, I declared to the universe that I was ready for a blessing and looked forward to receiving it within 48 hours. About 45 minutes after setting the intention, I had a strong urge to search for a book online to help me with a project that I’m working on. The first one that came up is by someone that I had in mind to reach out to when the project was finished, and I didn’t even know she wrote a book about it. It was such validation that I’m on the right track, which is always so reassuring. This confirmation brought chills all over my body.
While I knew that this was a blessing, I didn’t want to stop there. I knew that I still had 47 hours to go, and I certainly wasn’t going to limit myself to just one. So I continued to stay open for more to arrive.
When I woke up this morning, I noticed a strand of Xena’s fur in the bathroom – glistening in the light. We used to find her fur all of the time right after she died, but it’s been a long time since I’ve seen any. I knew that it was her letting me know that she was still here with me.
A few hours later, Dan and I were outside eating our lunch. I looked down and saw another piece of her fur in my salad – again, glistening in the light. I pulled it out and taped it to a piece of paper so I wouldn’t lose it. Just a minute or so after, Dan found a piece of her fur, too. So he went inside and taped it to the same piece of paper. While he was inside, a feather flew over me and landed in the grass where she used to go, and it’s made up of her exact colors: white, gray, and black. We were shocked and humbled and in awe. We knew that she was right there with us.
I then came inside to get back to work and saw an email from a customer that had come in at the same time we found the feather. Out of the clear blue, she mentioned that after her dog died, she would receive feathers from him to let her know that she was on the right track. She had no idea what had just transpired – I hadn’t told anyone since it had just happened.
This entire episode brought tears to my eyes. I have felt Xena with me ever since she left, but to see such clear signs that she’s still here is so heartwarming. There’s so much uncertainty in my life right now, and I feel that her visit is helping me remember that I’m on the right track – with the book that I found yesterday and with the fur and feather today. It’s loving guidance to encourage me to keep moving forward and to keep staying in a high vibration. When I’m in this vibration, I get to communicate with her and with the universe. I get to plug in. And I’ve been reminded of this today, which is something that I’ll carry with me forever.
I still have about 30 hours left with this experiment. I have no idea if any other miracles will take place, but I’m definitely staying open to the possibility!

I love the book Jodi, I read it a while back and really enjoyed doing the experiments. I love having the ‘proof’ too, and the book makes it all tangible. So, so pleased and happy that the blessings you received were connected to your beautiful dog-ter Xena. I also think it’s great that you didn’t limit yourself to just one. This is a fabulous reminder about a brilliant book. I’ll be definitely reading it again 🙂 xx
I’m so happy for you, Jodi. And, I’m so incredibly inspired by the initial outcomes of your experiment. I’ve been asking for signs too and so delighted that they are appearing. Thanks so much for sharing this. It’s very encouraging.
Jodi,
I loved your column and insights this morning. Sometimes our logical minds just keep getting in the way when glory, happiness and love are all around us.
Many Blessings to you,
Michael
After reading your post about the book E-Squared, I downloaded it and read the first few chapters last night. This morning I started the first experiment. Within minutes of stating out loud my intentions the F.P. Give me my first gift. I went looking on You Tube for a mediation that would help with this experiment and right a way found and listen to The Secret Universal Mind Meditation by Kelly Howell. Wow, it talks about everything you just said in your book. What a great first gift!
Awe-some! Truly, I am awed by your story. Thanks for sharing it!
