Simple energy

Energy. It’s a simple word, yet it has so many images and feelings to convey.

Energy to run, jump, and apply yourself to perfect physical conditioning. Energy to sing a beautiful song and give feeling to it depending on mood. Energy given to people in an expression of love, and sometimes, sadly, energy given to anger and its hold on keeping things out of proper proportion. The whole world is comprised of energy of some sort. We are  made up of a physical and spiritual energy, sometimes able to reach a different plane, depending on how disciplined or advanced we are.

Think of why sometimes a stranger’s smile or look can completely change how you feel- warmth and a slow spread of happiness can come from this, and we don’t know why. We are made of the energy of love. Some people naturally cannot be anything but kind, no matter what happens to them in this world. Others carry a chip on their shoulder, carrying all the hurts and unkindnesses  they’ve endured, not able to let go. This makes life difficult and full of hurt. It makes it lonely, and of course painful for those that love them. They do not understand the energies they put forth with all that burdens them. Letting go would help, but alas, so many find it easier to hold on to what they know, rather than delve into the unknown, even though in the end it may be a glorious release.

We are all a part of a living energy that makes up our world. Unfortunately, there is so much technology, that we are short circuiting ourselves! We are bound more than ever, boxing ourselves into a smaller and narrower space, leaving ourselves very little breathing space. No wonder everyone has an issue with one thing or another, people are angrier and seem to be more restricted  and tied to things than ever before. Our energy is confused, rattled, and zapping what little simple, good things we used to rely on for a good life. Our outer space is overcrowded. Soon there is to be no spare room for any more radio waves for our ever expanding gadgets that “connect” us to everything so instantaneously. What will we do?

Ever increasingly, our spirit is tormented with the unseen energies that have invaded us..for our very souls ARE energy, and this is being tampered with. Brains cannot shut off due to the electronic leash we have tied ourselves to. This in turn, has given rise to sleep problems, and many psychological diseases that seem to be permeating our society of late. We cannot possibly exist without peace of mind.This cannot be achieved until we let go of some of the modern conveniences of our time, or unless the unthinkable happens- where all technology will eventually reach its peak and crash as all things seem to when they are pushed to the limit.

We need to be in tune to our energy. This is what comprises our life’s blood, our well being. Ignoring it will just bring unhappiness, and for some, it is never understood, because they are going after the wrong solution. Positive thinking will always bring about good. When one is positive, then all things, even if they seem daunting, will somehow pass better than expected. On the other hand, negativity begets more negativity. Remember the old adage of haste makes waste? Well that is certainly true here- negative thinking and anger just perpetuate more mistakes, more unhappiness as a result.

It’s simple, really. Positive energy begets positive results. Negative energy nets negative outcomes. Try it. Take a day, that no matter what happens, you will stay positive. Even if things don’t work out the way you’d like, the day turns out okay, and sometimes better than you originally thought. There is not only one way to skin a cat after all!

So, breathe deep and feel the wonder of you!
