The Importance of Energetic Awareness by Diane Wing, M.A. Excerpted from The True Nature of Energy: Transforming Anxiety Into Tranquility Energy is vast and pervasive. It is all around us, forcing us into a relationship with it. All interactions contain an energetic component. The unifying forces of the Universe are omnipresent in both living entities and inanimate objects. People, animals, situations, objects, and environments contain and give off energy. Energetic insight is a source of constant information, an intuitive knowing that increases self-confidence and removes the drama by seeing yourself, others, and situations objectively and accurately. To encounter any of these things creates an energetic interaction. Everyone experiences these energetic exchanges, whether consciously or subconsciously. Because of this dynamic, it is possible to enhance understanding through insight into the energetic relationships that occur in the course of your daily routine and to perceive them objectively. What was once looked upon with emotion, fear, drama, doubt, worry, and guilt becomes pure when the underlying energetic pattern is revealed. As a result, decisions can be made and actions can be taken with a clear heart and mind. Enabling our natural ability to sense the vibrations that are constantly around us creates awareness of energetic shifts within the self and in circumstances outside the self. Have you ever walked into a room and felt like you wanted to leave right away? Ever met a person for whom you had an instant dislike for no apparent reason? Been around certain people and suddenly feel exhausted? You have probably described a person or object as having “good or bad energy” or certain places as possessing “good or bad vibes.” We regularly use phrases such as “that resonates with me” and terms like “harmonious.” All of these references demonstrate that we are tuned in to the energy around us and attempt to describe what we innately feel. It is a natural instinct, our inherent sixth sense possessed by every human and animal on the planet to varying degrees. The majority of people are aware of the energy around them, albeit on a superficial level. This is a means of intuitive knowing; it is the familiar sense of comfort or discomfort when you walk into a room that indicates whether positive or negative energy, or a blend of the two, is within that space. The vibrations could emanate from a certain person or group of people, from within you, or from the physical structure of the room or structure itself. Raising your energetic consciousness is to develop your natural intuitive ability and to open to a source of information that is constantly available to you. If you prefer the term psychic, it is simply the ability to perceive that which is beyond the five mundane senses of seeing, hearing, smelling, touching, and tasting. And just like some people have a stronger sense of smell or extraordinary hearing, so do some have a stronger sixth sense. While there are inherent individual limitations to the ability, just as with the other senses, it differs from the other five senses in that it can be developed and enhanced. Also, there are times when energetic sensitivity manifests itself in the other five senses, such as being able to see an auric field or hear the activity of imprinted energies from a time long past. With heightened energetic consciousness, resistance is lessened, flow is increased, and the ability to understand and use energy in specific ways is enhanced. Energy has no limitations; it can reach anywhere it intends to go. With each gesture, thought, intention, action, and interaction, we move energy. We can choose to be sensitive to the wealth of information contained in the ether around us, or to remain closed off from and unacquainted with our surroundings. By understanding and being consciously aware of the energetic impacts that we create, it is possible to improve relationships, to avoid mishaps, and to understand Divine Will while developing a singularly strong will of one’s own. It is riding the energetic wave in the direction the energy is naturally flowing, the essence of Divine Will, rather than fighting against the current so as to achieve in an effortless way, to manifest, and to thrive in abundance. It is a way to come into your power. Awareness is the key to understanding the nature of energy. Awareness enables us to influence the way our personal energy flows and the way we project it out into the world. With the ability to sense the forces moving within and between us, we are able to understand the underlying aspects of a situation. Heightened sensitivity to these forces expands our ability to understand our feelings and reactions, as well as those of others. It also enables us to tap into the vast abundance of Universal Energy. By increasing your energetic awareness, it is possible to observe energy patterns and consciously change their texture. The ether that moves around and through all things, animate and inert, reacts to our thoughts, feelings, and actions. It connects all things. We make imprints in the ether with our words, actions, thoughts, beliefs, and emotions, and thereby affect the outcome of all events that follow. The way individuals choose to think and behave not only influences them personally, but also affects the vibration of the entire planet. *** Available summer, 2013!
