I once had a friend who told me, “I can’t sense energy. I’m like a baked potato.”
Yet one day, I left on an errand as he was handling a piece of pyrite (also known as fool’s gold). Pyrite is known for many properties, but the one I’ve noticed is that it stimulates the gall bladder and can bring forth aggression or rage, but I hadn’t told my friend this. When I returned home, my usually pacific friend was in a boiling rage and almost ended our relationship.
We are energy, we live in a cosmos of energy, we all respond to energy, yet in many circles, mentioning one’s sensing of energy is considered ‘woo-woo’ or even frightening, something only psychics and TV ghost-hunters do. How can something so all-pervading, the very stuff of the universe, be weird or unknown?
As I discussed in a previous article, “Is it Time for the Invisible Worlds to Come Out of the Closet?” it could be that if we were all highly attuned to energy our lives would be vastly different. We would know when something is true or not, in alignment or out of balance. At some level we are already doing this, but we have numbed out our knowing.
Yet every day we use terms that describe invisible energies:
He hurt her feelings
The atmosphere was electric
A romantic atmosphere
A lovely ambiance
I love you
The tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife
Spine tingling
That actor has great presence
She is a charismatic leader
When I am around her, I feel a deep peace come over me
This place gives me the willies
This is my chair, it just feels like the right place for me to sit
