Energy - A Basic Understanding (1)
I’m going to start a series of posts about the basic properties of energy. In order to explain the law of attraction as related to health I need to provide readers with a brief, but detailed understanding of energy: what it is, how it functions, how it is manipulated/controlled, and how it is transferred between forms. Most people have an idea of energy in its more tangible forms like electricity, sound, light, heat, nuclear reactions, or calories, but they don’t really understand its natural fluidity and the fact that it exists in other immeasurable forms and that we are essentially saturated in an unending ocean of it. Energy is what drives our ever-changing universe. The transfer of energy into different forms is what allows us to do things like type on a computer, ride a bike, eat, breathe, and think. In actuality, every single thing and person that we interact with on earth is about the exchange of energy. Our human brains are actually the most complex electrical circuits on earth and they have the power to absorb and produce vast amounts of energy - same with our bodies. But what IS energy? Our human senses are only designed to detect energy in certain forms (through our sensory organs, right?) So we can perceive energy in the forms of sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. But, there are many, many other forms of energy which we do not have the physical ability to detect. Often, because we can’t “see” or “feel” these type of energy, it’s difficult for us to acknowledge that they even exist.
People who do talk about the physical energies are usually portrayed as new-age, touchy-feely hipsters or just plain crazy, but the understanding I have, and what I’m trying to portray here, is that this is actually hardcore science. If you can understand the science behind it, then the touchy-feely part that applies later will be much more valid. You may think that energy like this doesn’t really affect you, but it does – it’s all around us, all the time, and our interaction with it dictates our physical circumstances. By increasing their awareness of it, people will naturally begin to detect, and also produce types of energy that they didn’t previously know about, thereby gaining more control over their circumstances and their futures. I know, I know, this sounds ridiculous at first, but let’s back up a little. In order for me to explain this in detail, and relate it to health and weight loss, I need to establish a basic understanding of energy on a scientific level.
