The Energy Surrounding Us

Every book, every volume you see here, has a soul.  The soul of the person who wrote it and of those who read it and lived it and dreamed with it.  Every time a book changes hands, every time someone runs his eyes down its pages, its spirit grows and strengthens.  

 

Carlos Ruiz Zafon

THE SHADOW OF THE WIND

 

 

For the majority of my years, I had been unaware of the synchronicity and magnetic energy present daily in all of our lives.  In some respects, life is like a dance with constant movement in variable directions impacting the steps of others.

 

There are the obvious situations between our selves and family, teachers and mentors.  There are exchanges of emotions, lessons, and subtle energy.   Less obvious are the exchanges of energy we make with the sun on our faces, strangers passing with a smile, or simply placing our attention on a random object. 

 

Everything is made of energy and this energy is exchanged upon the slightest movement.  Energy is exchanged with all of our senses ... feel, smell, hear, taste, and sight.   Daily, we are bombarded by the energies of all people and things surrounding us.  We just don't think about it.

 

We walk into a room and instantly feel safe or uncomfortable.  We pick up a book and the message we read resonates within us or we just cannot find a connection.  The fragrance of food either energizes us or makes us feel heavy or sluggish.  The thoughts we think inspire us or cause us fear.  The music we listen to either offends our sense of balance or soothes us.  Energy can be harsh or abrasive just as easily as soft and comforting.

 

When we try to be consciously aware of our surroundings we can easily identify the triggers of energy for what we feel, smell, hear, taste and see.  By doing this, we accept more responsibility for nurturing and protecting our body, mind, and spirit.
