How to start working with energy

Everything in this world is made up of energy. Literally.

Today I'll be covering a basic level of understanding of how energy is at play in your life. This way you can start tapping into your personal energy as well as the energies that surround you in order to make life affirming choices that will compliment the direction you want your life to go in. So we know that energy seems to be an underlining factor that unites everything in our three dimensional reality. We can then deduct that this energy must also be in everything and everyone. It's also important to note that energy can not be created nor destroyed, simply transformed.

Many people have speculated as to what the intelligence or consciousness is behind this energy. Wether you’re studying quantum physics or metaphysics (the philosophy of matter and our reality) these two fields seem to overlap one another in their understanding of how energy works in our lives on a spiritual level. You can see this in quantum physics with the discovery of the God Particle. Some speculate that a higher consciousness is the basis of all things, perhaps even God Consciousness which is the energy and creates worlds. The thing that unites us all. When we start to see our lives at the foundational level of energy, we can start to work with that energy to create a better life for ourselves and others. I’m going to dive into a few ways you can start looking at energy in a more tangible way in order to make sustainable life changes.

Ok, now that we understand that energy is the foundation of everything, and we can speculate that consciousness is the basis of the knowing behind the energy or is the energy itself. With this foundation we can start having fun.

So take a minute to scan your room. You’ll notice objects and things, maybe you have a dog, a plant, a pictures frame whatever. You can touch these things and they feel solid, three dimensional if you will. It's important to note that energy can also come in the form of lights, colours, thoughts and emotions.

The next step is understanding that everything is energy and energy is in a constant state of change, movement, vibration or quantum wave (I use these terms interchangeably). The reason being is that these energies change as they interact with each other. This is where the saying "to turn heads" comes in when certain people enter room. Beauty may play a part but thats superficial. If you’ve ever experienced a push or pull when you meet someone you are experiencing their energy on a quantum level and are aware of it either consciously or unconsciously. So, whenever someone enters a room there energy is literally pushing, moving and pulling energies around it and interacting with the other energies. That’s also why certain people can be drawn or repelled by you without ever speaking to you. It’s an energy exchange!!! It’s the energy that they carry within and around themselves which then interacts or resonates with yours. So, say we're at a bar and Betty walks in. Betty is carrying this beautiful glowing energy around her and people notice. Some people will maybe gage that energy and become intimidated by this person, some people may be drawn to that energy while others may also see that energy as something they want in their lives and try to take or funnel that energy into something else for their own benefit. These are all examples of things that happen all the time wether you're aware of it or not.

If you find this fascinating and truly want to learn about your own energy I suggest going to a Vipassana meditation retreat as you will learn to neutralize your body and mind to a degree which allows you to literally feel your own energy vibrations and how they interact with the world around you. This level of experiential awareness is key and the basis of feeling the effects of the energies at play in your life in a tangible way. With this level of awareness/consciousness you can start to understand the true meaning of the saying “Know Thy Self”.

With this general understanding you can start to play with energy. You can learn how certain foods carry certain energies. how certain colours carry certain energetic frequencies as well as plants, birds, humans, aliens, thoughts, words, feelings, emotions, crystals, metals, scent, sounds, light… everything which deals with our physical senses (but at a heightened level or heightened consciousness).

By working with your own personal energy you'll start to understand how you function on all levels. You'll get to know thy self in a deeper sense. With this understanding you can also see how many illnesses in modern society actually hold very real energetic patterns and have reasons for being there. Lessons for you to learn how to discern energy and to move or transform the energies in your life in order to heal and manifest correctly. Monks spend years and dedicate their lives to understanding this. They can literally heal someone in an instant with quantum healing, they can walk on burning coals with no pain and even bend light. And so can you (but it requires TONS of work and knowledge to attain those levels of consciousness). You carry everything you need to learn this inside you already. You just need to tap it.

For fun, let's look at how sugar addictions can form in the body. I think most of us have this dependency. In order to understand this deeply we have understand the function of our bodies energy and how it interacts with the energy of sugar.

Let’s say you’re feeling down, sad maybe a bit depressed, in need of love, a hug. You don't like how you’re feeling and you want it to go away. These low energies may trigger a thought of a candy bar in the fridge (this is the start of the cycle or programmed response. If you've always reached for sweets when sad your brain has developed neural pathways and have created this patterned response to the feeling of being sad). Sugar is known to be a comfort for us and can bring comforting energy in our bodies which is what we seek when we’re sad, or depressed (wether it’s in the form of carbs, of candies). So, when you’re feeling low and eat this, you will experience a very tangible reaction on all levels: physically, mentally and emotionally (the trilogy is at play- therefor very strong patterned responses). You’ll eat the candy bar and you may get that relief for a moment but then it goes away, because we know that energy is in a constant state of change. So after you eat it and get the relief then maybe a few self hate thoughts come up and an inner voice that says “Dammit Sherly! Why the heck did you eat that, you’re suppose to be dieting. Another failed diet”. This will inevitably makes you feel bad. Maybe even worst then you did prior to eating the candy bar because you've done something that hurts you body in some way (different degrees to this obviously and I in no way suggest that this is always the case). And so now you feel worse than you did and you can start to see why certain patterns and dependencies begin and are hard to break. What we can see is that Sherly was really looking for a feeling of love, comfort and relief and the most sustainable way that she can attain that is if she learns to create those energies within her own physical body. THERE IS NO MAGIC PILL GUYS! This is also how we can see people getting into codependent relationships or seek external energies because they are missing that form of energy inside themselves. Whatever you seek outside of yourself will never be sustainable and cycles will continue to slap you in the face until you realize it for yourself.  But knowing this can literally transform your life and I hope and pray to God that it will.

So you see, energy is at play with everything. Thoughts are some of the most important energies that interact with us and they work mainly on a subconscious level. Meaning, you’re not really even aware that its happening unless you learn to see it. Most of us engage in entertainment when we are tired or overwhelmed with life and want to zone out. This means that our brains are not on guard and very receptive to whatever information/energy is being thrown at it. This is why TV adds and subliminal messaging work so well. Because you don’t even see it’s happening. Certain entertainment; like television, music, video games, podcasts and other forms can hold such strong messaging that can literally tap into the subconscious mind and direct your energy in a certain way which benefit the person who is directing your energy there! Just think of how bombarded we are with commercial ads! There's a reason why companies spend so much on adds! Because it works. This subliminal messaging has less of an effect on you if you can learn become aware of whats going on and start choosing how you spend your energy and where it's being funnelled.

Now, when you get a true sense of this through personal experience, you can start drawing onto yourself certain energies that will elevate you. It just depends what kind of energy you need at any moment and how you choose to tap into it. But remember that the energy has to come from within you in order for it to sustain you. You have sit with yourself and figure it out in order to experience genuine change in your life. In order to do this you can learn to shift your energy or consciousness in snap second in any which way you want it to go. Like magic. This is the magic pill you guys, except it’s not a pill, it’s real life.
