Energy: 7 Fun Facts About Spiritual Energy & Energy Work
7 Facts About Energy & Energy Work
Energy. Hmmm. Trying to remember.
Fact one: Even the basic scientific or lexicon definition of “energy” is spiritual.
Remember way back in school when you learned about the three laws of energy (sometimes known as thermodynamics)? For reasons that will become clear in a few moments, we are going to take a very quick review of that triad of Newtonian truisms, at least as they relate to the present world.
Objection! Your Honor, what is the relevance of this dalliance down the path of school day lore? Your Honor, the relevance will soon become apparent. Objection overruled, subject to connection.
Everything in the universe is made of energy. Therefore, human beings are energy!
The Second Law of Energy: When we use an energy source it is not destroyed but enters a more disordered state. This makes the energy less available to us and in converting the energy to power means some loss. The point? Entropy is real.
The Third Law of Energy: This law is that everything comes to a stop only when the temperature is at −273.15°C on the Celsius scale. This equates to −459.67°F. This is called absolute zero and is where the entropy measurement is 0, (Zero).
The relevance of this introductory digression is obvious: Energy is spiritual as well as scientific. Believers consider spiritual energy to be of a different type than those known to science, and therapies involved are often classed as alternative medicine. Various ideas pertaining to spiritual energy have been postulated in various cultures. Though there are varying approaches, energy therapies are typically based on the premise that – on a fundamental level – everything in the universe is made of energy. From this perspective, human beings are also fundamentally energy.
Fact #2: Personal energy is an amazingly misunderstood aspect of our lives.
The East, on the other hand, has no goals, as such. The eastern philosophy of Taoism stresses that living itself forms a person rather than any purpose. The teachings of Taoism embrace the journey of living as the very meaning of life. In Taoism (which you may also see written or hear spoken as Daoism), the purpose of life is inner peace and harmony.The central concept of tao can be understood to describe a spiritual reality, the order of the universe, or the way of modern life in harmony with the former two.
Whereas Western teachings tend to take as a solution to a crisis as a “Walk it off” reality–meaning that people who are suffering have clearly brought their
Remember we talked about Tolstoy’s view of change in an earlier post?
There can be only one permanent revolution — a moral one; the regeneration of the inner man. How is this revolution going to take place? Nobody knows how it will take place in humanity, but every man feels it clearly in himself. And yet in our world everybody thinks of changing humanity, and nobody thinks of changing himself.
Tolstoy would have made a fine Taoist.
When a person channels all their energy into fixing the larger world: it leaves little space for personal development. Trying to fix the world directly can for all purposes be considered to be endless. As a result, taking a path as a pure social reformer leaves little room for personal development. Taoism instead focuses a person on a path of self-exploration first. In this way, a person can better focus their energy and time to understand their nature and how it connects outward to the larger world.
Everything Is Energy. Everything Is Spiritual. So Energy Is Spiritual Energy!
Spiritual Energy is the loving, clear, pure, primordial emanation that allows things to exist. Soon, this energy will be universally recognized as a basic level for the organization of all things. This energy is found everywhere around us, but each entity receives it by its own vibration. Science doesn’t have the means to detect it yet or the ability to measure it. Individuals also experience a relationship between natural energy and spirituality in personal ways. Some people feel a spiritual energy within their own passions, motivations, conscience–or even their dreams—which guides them in their life. For example, the Mirrar People of Australia identify their dreams and waking visions as inner sources of spiritual energy. Many religions of the world call the source of this embodied, spiritual energy a “soul.” (https://bit.ly/3F0Utkc)
Fact four: Energy really is everything. And everything is spiritual.
Science teaches that energy comes in six forms: chemical, electrical, radiant, mechanical, thermal and nuclear. We might add to that list a few of our own: kinetic, potential, gravitational, sound, light, elastic, electromagnetic and more. And all of these are all spiritual.
Spiritual energy means the inexhaustible energy of the Spirit- or Soul.
Fact five: We can feel personal/emotional or spiritual energy!
People feel the subtle energy all the time, but they are not aware of it because each one of us feels them differently. Not everyone feels this energy as a physical symptom. Some people perceive it as a light, others as a color or a sound and some feel it as an energetical manifestation. In order to notice these subtle energies, you must know that spiritual energy exists.
Fact six: We can use the five Spiritual Powers to heal spiritual energy.
- Faith. Think of faith not so much as a coercive religious force, but rather an innocence of conviction, an open heart that is not afraid to trust, and so can move beyond the known. It senses the possibility of transcendence—that what seems to be, isn’t all there is. It senses that there’s some profound human possibility to be realized, even though it’s not immediately apparent.
- Effort. Energy comes first and effort channels it. Effort is how things get done.
- Mindfulness. You hear this term a lot, yet you may not be clear on what it is. Mindfulness is the observing power of the mind, the active aspect of awareness. Mindfulness means not forgetting to pay attention, not forgetting to be aware of whatever is happening within us, around us, from moment to moment to moment.
- Concentration. Concentration can be thought of as “one-pointed attention.” In the context of insight meditation, it is steady, one-pointed attention upon a succession of changing objects. Concentration keeps attention pinned down upon whatever object mindfulness is noticing.
- Wisdom. What a great word. Wisdom is the ongoing inspiration for the other four spiritual powers. Wisdom is insight into reality, that is, insight into the nature of things as they are. (https://bit.ly/3F2KFq7)
Fact seven: Energy healing is safe and natural.
People have been studying the body’s energy centers for thousands of years. Indeed, energy healing is based on scientific principles. As such, anyone can benefit from energy healing. Many types of energy healing modalities exist, such as acupuncture, reflexology and massage. That being the case, it is often practical to maintain energy health either at home or nearby.
