Energy.
Power.
We all have some of it, we all want more of it. How do we get it? How do we lose it? Where do we get it from? What do we do with it once we have it?
If any of you have read the Celestine Prophecies, have perused much of the New Age material out and about, the Net across, or, if you know much about the ancient and modern alchemical tradition, then you know that there are ways that we can receive energy from nature. Communing with the natural world, going for walks in the park or in the forest or desert, silently absorbing the energy that we receive from plant and animal life is one way of gaining energy.
We get energy from the food we eat. If we eat organic vegetables straight out of the ground, we receive a large quotient of the energy that these plants have stored during the photosynthesis process. Plants, fruits, vegetables, are basically just light and water in material form. We consume that light and then our body uses as much of it as it can in order to power itself. Vegetables contain more of this kind of energy than meat does. That is why it is believed, in many traditions, that being a vegetarian raises the vibrational frequency of your body, making you more amenable to spiritual pursuits and the elevation of mental states, while eating a meat diet lowers your vibrational frequency, grounding you, intensifying your presence in the here and now of this material world.
Don’t you feel much better after you’ve been outside, walking around in nature? Invigorated, somehow? As if you stuck your finger into a light socket?
It is possible to overdo it. Staying outside in the sun, for instance, all day long with no protection, and the energy we recieve from the sun’s rays can leave us lethargic and drained, because we’ve overcharged ourselves. A short nap often alleviates that, leaving us with enough energy to last us for a while.
Contemplation, concentration and meditation are other ways of raising energy. The movement of serpent power/kundalini/chi energy can be affected by yogic exercises called Pranayama, which is basically just a series of practices concerned with the movement of the breath. Inhaling, retention and exhaling according to different methods and accompanying visualization practices. Breathing is the key to meditation. According to the tradition, there is a receptor behind and a bit beneath the nose that processes prana, which is a form of etheric energy, and the only way you can bring prana into your body is through the nostrils. Deep, full breaths and the attempt to still the mind allows the body to process this energy type and store it for future purposes.
What do we use our energy for? To live. To interact with others, to do the things that we do. To go to work, to talk on the phone, to interact with our spouses, friends, family and children. To think, to write, to draw, to paint. To create music, to dance, to sing and to shout. To argue, to fight, to make love, to eat. Everything we do takes energy, so if we don’t have a conscious method of making sure we have enough energy, then we find ourselves running our bodies into the ground, because the food that we eat in this culture is generally not enough. We need other ways of gathering energy to us.
What is another way we get energy?
From each other. We are trained from childhood, in our families, to eat each other. To consume each other’s energy in parasitic relationships that we are generally unconscious of. I mean, sure, we know when we are in healthy relationships or when we are not, when we get to a certain stage of life, or a certain understanding about relationships. But that takes experience and knowledge to determine. When we are children, we don’t have that experience and knowledge available to us in most cases, since we are newly returned to the world and we don’t have access to past-life memories in that manner. So, we are trained in the methods of energy-siphoning, and we do it first in our families, and then with our friends, and then in the greater society in our daily interactions.
