It's Universal Knowledge that there is energy in anything and everything, as proven through scientific studies and research. However, some ancient peoples believed, and have passed down their beliefs, that energy, both positive and negative., flows through everything and that the entire Universe is connected through this energy. Different entities possess different energies; the energy that flows through a tree is different than that which flows through a rock, but the two are complimentary. For example, natural things to the planet along with certain animals possess positive, "good for you" energy, that can heal or repair and infuse life force. Positive emotions such as happiness or laughter have positive, and even healing effects. Ever heard of the phrase "Laughter is the best medicine"? However, certain objects and things not necessarily natural to the planet possess a negative energy, which can actually damage the life force, as well as negative emotions such as anger, jealousy, and grief. People have actually been known to die of broken hearts, especially elderly widows.
Some people believe that we have the ability to influence the movement or flow of the energy. Some people have actually learned to control and manipulate this energy, and are otherwise known as healers. Healers use themselves as conduits, and release the (negative) energy into trees and/or rocks, because nature has the innate ability to process this energy, therefore creating a safe way to "dispose of" the harmful energy. Physics and Chemistry actually apply to this Universal Energy. Newton's First Law of Motion, Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it, (Every action has an equal and opposite reaction) appeals to healers in the sense of absorbing or releasing the energy they have taken. Depending on whether the energy is positive or negative, it can either harm or heal. Touch as well as thoughts are other powerful ways to transfer energy, so be mindful in the way you come into contact with a person, because we can often be unaware of the energy we release or push onto people.
This is what journey my mind went on this week. Hopefully you'll find it at least a little bit interesting. I know I did. And to be honest, it was nice to take a little trip back to my younger years, and have a nice conversation about this with my mother. Have a lovely, thoughtful week, and I'll see you soon!
