Everything is Energy

For thousands of years people have known that everything is energy. In Feng Shui we study the I Ching (pronounced “ee- jing”), one of the oldest books from China. This book is also called the Book of Changes. It is about the continual changes in the Universe. It is about living in harmony and balance with nature. It is about action and reaction. It is about going with the flow and what happens when you don’t. Three laws of nature that humans share with all species and the earth in general are (1) we are alive, (2) we are connected and (3) we are always changing. We are deeply connected to the earth and all animal and plant life around us. We have gotten out of balance with nature and now realize how integral this relationship is to our well-being. One way we are connected to other people and living beings is through the power of thought. Have you ever had a thought, only to find someone close to you had the same or similar thought? Thought is energy. To understand our collective thought or mass consciousness, look at what appears in the news and what grabs our focus or attention every day. These thoughts have energy. The energy increases as the thoughts are fed. As the thoughts are fed, they are given more power. As they are given power, they become real or the “truth” as we know it. And the story goes on.

 Energy takes many forms

The energy of the universe takes many forms and has many layers, and so do WE. If we are to become all we can be, with the ability to channel and shape our life force for the greatest benefit, then it is necessary to have a working knowledge of the hardware and the software of our Selves.

 We have all heard “knowledge is power,” and nowhere is that more true than when we are speaking about ourselves and the lives we create. Self-knowledge includes understanding how we work as human beings as well as how we have personally operated up until now to construct our lives.

 That brings us to Self-awareness. Self-awareness includes the ability to observe oneself, but the way we are using the term implies even more than that. We share the view that each of us is in the world to bring more of our spiritual nature into human form – to become more of our authentic Selves and grow past the small identity that may have served us well until now but no longer does.

 We live in a time that necessitates living in new ways … a time that requires us to rise to challenges from a different perspective than in the past so we can live lives that are more nurturing, satisfying, fulfilling, abundant and prosperous in every way.

 To us, the term Self-awareness includes a knowing beyond observation of our patterns of thought, feeling and action. It describes a presence of “I AMNESS” that is beyond the average thought, feeling or sensation of human experience. It is the direct awareness of our spiritual nature.

 In this work we are addressing moving from the lower mind controlled by the ego and its self-protective – but often mistaken – ideas and beliefs to a level of BEING that embodies more of your spiritual essence … your soul nature. This is the place where we embrace our full potential and engage the power of our authentic Selves.

 There is an art and science involved in this opening to the authentic Self. The way has been laid out for us through the millennia, but now we have the additional benefit of research in Mind-Body Medicine and Energy Psychology, as well as Quantum Physics, documenting age-old wisdom and providing important information to help speed us along on this exciting adventure of discovery.

 The beginning of the journey to your authentic self necessarily includes a working knowledge of the mind, as it is the vehicle that transports us for a portion of our journey. Our mind is not only an operating system; it is also where many of our obstacles lie. To understand the mind’s structure and have a working knowledge of its functions can help smooth our way as we seek to create change in our lives.

 In session two we will be discussing the three levels of mind and how to use each of them appropriately. If we are to bring our best selves to light, then it is necessary to have the knowledge, skills and ability to manage our basic operating systems so they work for us rather than be left to default patterns that can upset our best efforts at creating a life we love to live.

Awakening is a process, a journey with a road that  reaches behind and before us.

Awakening allows for: eyes that open wider, ears that hear more clearly, a mind that broadens and expands to include more and exclude less, and a heart that both widens and opens.

 Awakening is an imperfect course, one with jagged edges that can pierce the smoothness of our contentment and explode the inner space of our reality.

 Awakening requires courage, perseverance, commitment and practice:

Courage to face the day, to see how far we’ve come AND how far we have yet to go

Perseverance to show up, shift and move forward while honoring the missteps

Patience to ride the currents—the updrafts and the troughs

Commitment to practice even in the stuck times

 Awakening is allowing our humanness to be touched our spirit and be shaped by it. It is then that resistance can fall away and we can open into the ease of soul, and let it lead the way.

From 12 Keys for Life and Self Mastery: Chapter 1

Physics, Life and Conscious Creation

The following quote is one that provides some understanding

 of the territory we need to navigate in order to live

as more fully empowered citizens of the universe, using

and managing energy to its maximum benefit in our world.

Dr. Stuart Hammeroff, Director of Consciousness

Studies, at the University of Arizona says:

“The universe seems to be very strange. There seem to be

 two sets of laws that govern the universe. In our everyday,

classical world, meaning at roughly our size and time scales,

things are described by Newton’s laws of motion set down

 hundreds and hundreds of years ago. However, when we

get down to a small scale, to the level of atoms, a different

set of laws takes over. These are the Quantum Laws.”

Classical Physics explains how things work from a

logical, linear perspective. This is useful in our everyday lives

in a variety of ways. However when it comes to energy,

consciousness and creating our personal reality, Quantum

Physics and its principles are more useful.

It is important to realize, though, that we have all been

acculturated within the framework of Classical Physics;

so when we try to move into new territory and our minds

are given new information, we may run smack into subtle

aspects of the mind that BELIEVE AND FEEL in a

deterministic, linear and predictable way.

You may want to accept an exciting new belief and way

 of approaching life, but the mind may hold on to a

 felt sense of the old way of seeing the world. This is one reason

 why it is important to incorporate techniques that allow you to

inspect the contents of your mind in order to be able to

have a clear playing field as you learn to adopt new ways of being.

We hope those who can will join us for what promises to be a fun and lively discussion of energy, consciousness, The Secret and 2012!

Our thanks to Maureen Campaiola for inviting us to join her on her radio show The Dare Hour on Monday night (1-18-10). Maureen is a Business Coach and so she was curious about how Living Energy could be helpful to her clients.

The topic areas we discussed were:

1. Harnessing the energy of the hidden desires behind your goals
2. Inner visioning target your goals and support your progress
3. Shifting your energy to increase cash flow
4. Energetic blocks to your success

Specifics aside, the main point to keep in mind whether looking at business or any other target area for your goals is that you are an energetic being and your personal energy is going to affect every aspect of your lifes.

That being the case, it serves us well to understand how energy operates, to know what’s up with our own energy field and to learn how to maximize its strength.  Through this process we become more successful in creating what we DO want in and for our lives, businesses and relationships instead of allowing this powerful resource (personal energy) to operate in a default pattern that does not support, enhance and nourish us and our dreams.

Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go.

The topic for our Monday, January 18^th radio show is “How do You Really Leave the Past Behind?”  Eckhart Tolle in the Power of Now tells us that we need to be in the present to free ourselves of the past. Actually, we always ONLY live in the present.  We are never in the past nor are we ever in the future.  The past, however, does in many ways condition our lives. 

 Our experiences and beliefs over a lifetime are all factors that influence how we see the world, how we live our lives and how we react to situations.

 Our dilemma is that our past experiences and particularly the way we feel about them …are encoded in our nervous systems, in our very cell tissue and form default reactor patterns that are easily—and unconsciously triggered by people and events. The result is that we often react automatically from the past as it were and are not truly, freely in the present.  

 So what do we do? How do you let the past go?

 Come listen to our show and find out!
