What The F*ck is Energy?

“If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.”

Nikola Tesla  

In the metaphysical world something you hear discussed frequently is energy; how to move it, how to protect it and why. In the Physics world energy comes in many different forms, kinetic energy, potential energy, heat energy , chemical energy, nuclear energy, just to name a few, all forms of energy are associated with movement or the potential for movement. Energy may take all different shapes and forms but it is agreed "that energy cannot be created or destroyed", this is known as the Law of Conservation of Energy. Energy can be transformed into something new, the way the sun coaxes a seed out of the soil and into a flower.  Energy can be exchanged, the way the atmosphere and the Ocean interchange CO2 in a cyclic mutually beneficial relationship. It can be transferred, it can be transmuted, but it cannot be destroyed. In the spiritual realm we talk about energy as the soul that animates us, the life force that drives all vibrational matter, the energy that binds us. Some believe the soul transcends never to return and others believe we are reborn into our karmic patterns until they are conquered. Be it a rock, a tree, an animal, or a human being; through energy we are bound in our shared experience of this reality.

Neurologically, the body is an intricately woven work of art. Driven by an electrical impulse(energy) embedded with information, moving through a neural circuit. Neurons firing in the brain, jumping from synapses to synapses, handing off information like a relay race, until the finish lane has been crossed, and the information has been delivered to it's intended destination. A thought is an energetic message intelligence that triggers a chemical responses, initiating movement, speech, facial and emotional expression, as well as involuntary movement like the steady rhythm of a beating heart. Where there is energy there is an electromagnetic field . As outlandish as it sounds, we as human beings have never actually "touched" anything on this earth. The fierce sensation we experience as physical touch, the warmth of skin on skin, goose bumps emerging at the brush of cold air, the prick of a needle, these physical sensations are the bi-product of our electromagnetic field interacting with the electromagnetic field of  another. We are not solid objects, most of our body is just empty space. We experience our bodies and the world around us as solid objects because molecules are moving so quickly we can't see that it isn't solid. We are walking electromagnetic fields bouncing off  each other, pushing and pulling, in a rhythmic symphony that orchestrates our reality.

The stronger the electrical current in an object the greater the EM field generated, the heart has the strongest electrical current in the human body. The Heart Math Institute has determined that the EM field of the human heart extends 3 FT away in all directions and envelopes every cell in the body. The pulse of the human EM field fluctuates with the emotional state of that person, changing like a mood ring; a perfect reflection of the current condition of our being. In the woo realm we refer to the human EM field as the aura or auric field. An aura is often described as a color that blankets a human being, matching the vibration of the soul it belongs too.  Ever walk into a room and you can just sense that your co-worker or spouse is in a bad mood or perhaps even take on that mood as your own? Your brain is reading their heart EM field/ aura and they are reading yours. Some of us may be more sensitive to the EM field or aura's of others and we may refer to this as an empathic or intuitive ability. From ancient eastern priests to the indigenous people of the America's, aura's have been common knowledge since the days of old.

"Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you."
 Oprah Winfrey

Researchers at Princeton University established a study known as The Global Consciousness Project, to evaluate the energetic connection we have with each other and to the Earth. Random Number Generators were set up all over the world designed to monitor change in collective human emotion. When substantial events occur and the emotions of human beings are effected in the masses, Random Number Generators(RNGs) deviate from their random pattern of numbers, and the pattern becomes more methodical. When events of 9/11/2001 took place, events that led to massive loss of human life, events that the world was watching, a time when our hearts were grieving as a species, the RNGs of The Global Consciousness Project deviated from the random number algorithm and become more structured. GCP Data from 9/11, among other world events. The earth also has an electromagnetic field known as the Schumann Resonance . As we know from previous studies like the Global Consciousness Project, we become more globally coherent in times of stress like 9/11 or in times of great passion, like January 20, 2009, the swearing in of President Barrack Obama GCP and Heart Math Data .

The Schumann Resonance  has been called "the earth's heart beat." One of the earth's frequency's can be measured at 7.83 Hz. 7.83 Hz is also known to be associated with higher levels of theta brain waves and the meditative state. Physically connecting with surface of the Earth has proven to be essential for the regulation of the bodies biological clock and hormone levels says an environmental medicine study found done by NCBI. Digging our feet into the richness of the earth's energy neutralizes free radicals and stabilizes the electrical environment of the cells in the body. Our ancestors called this technique grounding. Grounding is an important part of a meditative practice, grounding brings awareness to the body, turns the focus inward, and centers the energy. When we meditate with intention we can redirect our energy to meet our desired outcome.


In 1993 over 4,000 meditation practitioners from 82 countries made a pilgrimage to Washington DC, one of the most crime riddled districts in the US, with the intention of lowering crime rates. Every day for 6 weeks these practitioners gathered to meditate for 2.5 hours, holding the intention of peace. The violent crime rates were 23% lower than what was predicted during those 6 weeks of mass meditation, this study has been repeated in other high crime and violence area's around the world. Meditation is scientifically proven to reduce, stress, heart rate, blood pressure, the stress hormone Coritsol, and improve cognitive function meditation study NCBI. When we meditate or set an intention we are directing our energy towards the said intention. When we meditate and use grounding techniques throughout the day we are instructing our hearts and bodies to be in a relaxed state, which in result affects the pulse of our EM field. The condition of our energetic bodies effects the health of our physical bodies, it effects the efficiency in how we think and how create, it creates a ripple affect touching all of those around us. When we live our lives focused on the health of energy we strengthen the relationship between our minds and our bodies, we heighten our awareness of the energy around us, and we set the stage to intentionally direct our energy into creating the world we yearn for.
