Creating Contagious Change Through Contagious Energy
Your life is full of different energies. Some energies are powerful and easily recognizable, while others are more subtle and often only intuitively felt. I believe it is fair to say that everything is in a sense energy. The things you say, the things you do, even the things you don’t do, all produce energy within ourselves. This post is going to show you how to capture the positive energies in your life, and how to use them to their potential.
So what do I mean by energy?
I like to think of energy as anything that invokes reaction within yourself. In other words, anything that makes you tick, ponder, feel or react. In this sense, everything not only has energy, but everything is energy. Energy is physical, and energy is mental.
Energy comes to us in different forms. The chair you are sitting on, the music you are listening to, or the book you just finished reading, all provoke some sort of reaction within you. Maybe the chair gives you a comfortable, content energy, both physically and mentally. What you feel when you see the chair, as well as when you sit in the chair, are separate energies. Recognizing energy from something as mundane as a chair is not always easy. If you still have no idea what I’m talking about, take a deep look at your chair. How does it make you feel? What does it make you think? This is ENERGY!
Now, the energy in music is something much more easily recognized. How does your favorite song make you feel? What type of energy do you enjoy most from music? If you don’t know what I’m talking about, dig into your iTunes right now and put on your favorite song. Take a break from reading this and close your eyes for the entire song. Let the energy from the song reveal itself to you. Music is one of the most powerful and recognizable forms of energy, which is perhaps why it is grounded in so many sacred traditions. A powerful musician can illustrate similar energy to many different people.
Becoming Energized!
Music can be used to become energized. Athletes often listen to certain songs before games to help channel adrenaline, artists listen to music to help get their creative juices flowing, and many writers write with the help from music. What is happening here, is a benefit of positive energy. Music is perhaps the easiest way to understand this concept, but it is definitely not the only way to become energized.
You can, and do, become energized from everything! The trick is recognizing this feeling, or this concept. Often, when I wake up I fling the curtains open and let the sun flood into the room. This is a great way to become energized first thing in the morning. I don’t let rain stop me from becoming energized in the mornings either. If its raining, I try to be fully aware of the beauty before me. Maybe I’ll follow a few raindrops down the window, or watch the ripples form in a puddle below me, either way, I’m fully present. I find being present is the most important thing if you want to feel energy in a positive way. When you are here and now, everything is beautiful energy!
How can I obtain energy in a positive way?
Try making a list of all the things that make you feel good. Use this list as a guide as you learn to become energized from a wider variety of things. If being in nature is something that energizes you, try spending a little more time outdoors. Plan activities that place you outside, and then begin to explore more in depth. If the sun energizes you, there is a good chance that flowers, trees, and animals will do the same. When you have learned to obtain energy from a wide variety of sources, you can learn to use this energy.
Positive energy is contagious. When you are constantly taking in the positive energy from your surroundings, it is a sure thing that it will be visible in the outer world. My good friend Alex is perhaps the best example of this. He is so present, so here, that he radiates beautiful energy in everything he does. Everyone recognizes it, and everyone loves being around him. They feed off his energy. I couldn’t begin to tell you how many times people have told me stories about Alex making their day, or making them smile, or simply making them feel good. After many late night conversations with Alex, the best piece of advice I can share in terms of this, is to be fully in the here and now.
What can positive energy do for you, and others?
I wrote a couple hundred words for this section, but I still felt like I was falling short of what I wanted to convey. So with that, I’m simply going to answer this section with, “Anything you want”.
Divine energy?
I like to think of divinity as anything that is ultimate. With this, there is nothing quite like divine energy. Some may believe this to be Christ, others the Buddha, Shiva, Krishna, or Muhammad. We may not all agree on this, however, we can all agree that the energy from these figures is separate from that of the physical world. Divine energy is on a different scale than most people recognize in their day to day activities, but (drum roll please) it doesn’t have to be! If you learn to fully appreciate this moment, then you will see that everything is divinely inspired energy! Here, we are, always apart of the ultimate picture.
[...] I know there is so much more music out there. Music is great inspiration and is a great source of energy. With websites like pandora, lastfm, and facebook, it shouldn’t be too hard to get in the habit [...]
Great Post!!!! I totally agree with your writings.. music is amazing for the energetic feeling you get from a piece…. great blog!
Dom* Colucci….since I joined intent.com last year I was being pointed in the direction back at myself as this was always my attraction of who I AM…as of three weeks ago during a calm and stillness sitting with my sis, she felt my energy pulsating from me and she asked me that did I feel hers but did not because mine was strong just sitting in calm…please enjoy as well and hope it makes sense…
I had lunch with my sister last week and we were discussing alot about the Soul and energy and this is what I came up with as this might sound as if I wrote it to someone else as I did but it was easier to copy and paste this rather than rewrite this..hope it makes sense as I go a little deeper inside the CORE of being and seeing this as well..enjoy always(+)
I came up with a brilliant conclusion on becoming the subjective reality and entering the CORE of you being..OK HERE GOES:
1. Remember the negativity as it is outside yourself you wish not to see in your eyes as this is objective reality…This is where all your energy was being expended all the time as this is where your energy is always paying attention too..becoming old week and dying…You keep trying to achieve this but no avail as this the wheel or the electron a negatively charged particle around the hydrogen atom
2. Out of this you have seen the movie the Secret and the Laws of Attraction so you start thinking positive thoughts because Now that you have hit a brick wall, you cannot reach the future and cannot go to the past so you stay right where you are and start feeling good about yourself in a positive attitude and this is in the form of appreciation and greater thoughts for your plasticity in your brain as to making your neurons stronger in this attitude seeing things differently as these are the rings in a tree that make it grow…This is also in the form of the analogy as a proton or a positively charged particle…So this would be also in the form of a subjective reality as Now you are viewing yourself as the subject and no longer the object chasing the object in which Buddhists call the Mahayana or wheel and the form of dukkha in the form of wanting or desiring a longing for…OK with this feeling and Now reviewing as all this is in this subjective reality because you have this attitude of positivity and appreciation it becomes second nature and need not further yourself in this..a lot has to do with unconditional Love as well….this is very vibratory in energy…don’t you feel good when somebody loves you or a feeling you have when you either Love someone or something going on inside you, same thing..and your energy in yourself grows larger and feeling better…we have this step down pat…
3. Th energy phase of this…THE SOUL…which is basically nothing but 100% energy and this is where all becomes as it is NOW your own personal Qi or Qiqong….this is the neutron the mother of all mothers….many scientists have tried to open this up but when they split it there was such an atomic explosion with it that it was set off with a chain reaction of heat that grows hotter and hotter and then KABOOOOOM!!!! no longer harnessed in its shell…when you look at the hydrogen atom in which I just used this analogy to this is it…the CORE has the high powered energy that is so vibratory and spins the proton at a high rate of speed that is close to it that also spins the outer rim electron that binds it all together that is basically a slow particle but picks up speed when it receives its vibration from the neutron as the tranference of this comes from the proton…OK next thing involved with this is that the electron which is the negative reality tries to create time and hesitate in its slumber to do things Karmically and the proton could care less about the time but knows this outside rim is illusional but still paints the picture and begins to feel great about itself always but the CORE the High Rate of Energy lives in the NOW or present and knows this is the best spot for it as when you are energy you cannot be created or destroyed so you just be but no one or nothing gets near you…why?…you are emitting strong vibrations and the transference of this is being sent out positively and is keeping neagativity at bay because of the path negativity is in…so look at the whole with yin and yang as the middle way is the best as this way is LOVE unconditional and no longer is needed positive or negative it is energy the combination of both but has been neutralized in creating this…so Now you have just created your own personal SOURCE of the being you were suppose to be…everything around you becomes non existant and your belief system has Now died because you no longer need this as you are living high energy in the NOW….and Now you are so connected to the MAIN SOURCE OF ALL POWER….NOTHING as this is the INFINITE POWER as in nothing in the void it carries no emotions, no physical anchors, guilt worry and fear….YOU ARE THE ULTIMATE IN YOUR OWN ATOMIC SOURCE….YOU ARE THE SOUL and no longer dies ever…LOVE IS YOUR PATH AND LET IT GUIDE YOU CONTINUOUSLY…why do you thing many chant the word AUM…vibartory language of GOD as all in the Universe is vibratory, sight, sound, taste, touch and smell, fuse them all in one and you become what the SOUL always wish to be, attracted to you and you not attracted to things….
I hope this all made sense as these past many months with many others I have had experiences with made me see something a little more about myself through others…and feel this is the ONE that I am searching…not a thing person or object….the IT which is the SOUL….and this is why I think you and I have become vibratory…make sense….enjoy and have a nice day(+)
Dom*xo….ps and btw I did not feel any of her energy coming from me but she felt a stronger vibration from me in the form of Qi or Qigong..as the key is in my meditations with stillness and calm..real good stuff…
I think I followed what you were saying for the most part Dom…
I too have been in similar situations where either I have felt strong vibrations and energy from a friend seated in deep stillness, or vise versa.
I specifically remember an experience like this, however it was in a dream that I shared with a close friend. He and I experienced the same dream, in which we were meditating together. The energy I remember feeling vibrating from him was so moving, yet so still and calm. I’m not sure I could do the experience justice through words however, just know it was quite the feeling.
Thanks again for stopping by and sharing Dom, I look forward to hearing from you again.
You are so welcome Ram…will be popping in Now and then to comment…enjoy as well(+)
