Lovin’ Life Now! Newsletter
By Charlene M Brown
I have a friend who is an “energy reader.” He is more “tuned-in” to other people’s energy than most. He definitely has good energy and is a good hugger. In fact, I love hugging him to exchange this energy. Sometimes we will stay in an embrace for much longer than the social norm, just because we are replenishing each other’s energy supply.
Whew, now that I’ve gotten that confession off my chest, let me go back and explain some of the things I said! That was certainly a mouthful, especially if you’ve never looked at the world as being filled with energy before!
But it is!
Every single thing in the Universe is made from energy. Though energies are different, have different vibrations, they all have the same basic characteristics!
In the human body, we have energy centers, called chakras that act as a sort of referee to the energy in our bodies. These chakras are meridians, or entry (and exit) points to the energy that our bodies receive and give out.
Have you heard of that popular book/movie, The Secret by Rhonda Byrne, that talks about the Law of Attraction? Well, this information is also true and also has to do with energy.
The Law of Attraction states that we get what we think about; like attracts like. This happens because the more thought we put into something, the stronger we are vibrating at that frequency. The stronger a signal goes out, the stronger it will come back. (Note here, signals we send out come back multiplied)
Think about this like a radio frequency. Let’s say the station you want is at frequency 106.3. If you are there on the dot, the sound is strong and clear. This represents things that you put a lot of thought into—the things that show up in your life, you are playing that station. The further away you are from that frequency, the less clear it comes in. The further away you are from thinking or feeling something, the less clear the frequency and the less it shows up in your life. Does that make sense?
In the course of our daily lives, most of us spend time doing activities that deplete our energy. In the alternative healing world, this can be seen through your aura, or energy field around your body.
We all have this energy field, this aura, surrounding our bodies. If it is big and vibrant, we have a good balance of energy. If it is dull and small, staying very close to our bodies, we are probably very imbalanced. This is what causes sickness and dis-ease. (Auras have colors associated with them that generally correspond to the rainbow. Some people have a gift for seeing these auras in color.)
When our energy is low, we are depleted of the natural energy we all possess. Sometimes this happens because other people drain our energy, such as when we are being intimidated or belittled. (See The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield for more about this topic). This is when we need energy from outside ourselves to boost us back up! This is why I can hug my friend for so long, because we are both filling up our energetic gas tank. Incidentally, we could also get this energy by hugging a tree—no, really!
There is an infinite supply of this energy and therefore enough for everyone, without anyone ever being depleted. But most people don’t realize this.
Which is why we allow (and it is an allowing) others to deplete our energy field. There are ways to safeguard against this sort of energy depletion, but perhaps we’ll save that for another article.
The point is most of us Do get depleted and need ways to re –energize. I hug my friend and he hugs me back. We both know, subconsciously at least, that because of this infinite supply, when we put our energies together, it is somehow greater than if we were hugging ourselves—energetically speaking, we fill each other back up!
So I will continue to enjoy his hugs!
