Energetic Communication

It is astounding that the reality of energetic communication is largely ignored and down played in one’s daily life.  Although we all are naturally programmed with this incredible gift and sense ability,  we hands-down almost always give it little credence and choose instead to “listen” to words, gleaning information this limited way from our surrounding world.  Language and words are way over-rated in this respect.  It is the momentary impression taken in by our bodies from another’s energetic response/reaction that should inform us.

We have all been there over and over.  In a conversation, something is said and there is a vibrational response from another.  One might be looking at a passive face, but sensing the reaction of judgment, criticism, surprise or acceptance.  Upon meeting someone for the first time, it sometimes is very clear there is a whole history that has been garnered by the handshake that is given.  Possibly it is defended, or awestruck or some other pre-determined response coming through which indicates they have had an earful about you.  We choose to believe the passive face and dutiful handshake; we more often than not choose to minimize or not register the energetic communication around the experience.

We are constantly subjected to energetic communication.  From the obscure to the profound we are subject moment to moment by inanimate and animate energies.  From a tree, an animal, an environment, an object or the collective, we can glean information and impressions with considerable depth just by bringing into a wider more sensitized awareness the vibration coming at us.  A full-sized deer in the middle of the woods is walking toward you, only 20 paces away.  At first one is touched and in awe of the experience, but as the creature gets closer, fear instinctively takes you over.  The deer senses the shift in attitude and bolts.  In China, there are trees that are two to three thousand years old.  They are the remaining post-cultural revolution “wise ones” and are emanating their wisdom constantly.  It’s almost impossible to pass one of these trees and not pause, the magnetism is so strong.  You might not know what you are sensing right off, but you can’t help but feel the power of the tree’s energy.  In past posts, I’ve mentioned domestic animals and their knowing a human’s impulse several beats before the human’s action or the energy of inanimate objects which are not given attention.  All of this is real information.  A shift in how we take in impressions, information and how we communicate might be in order.

Masaru Emoto's ground breaking work studying water molecules in  The Hidden Messages in Water and The Miracle of Water   support this idea there is an energetic influence on our physiology dependent on how we approach living and communication.  Our words, thoughts and intentions impact our cell structure and DNA.  Dr. Emoto spent several years photographing crystals formed in frozen water which revealed changes when specific, concentrated thoughts were directed toward them. When he wrapped them in paper that contained positive messages, such as "Thank you," they formed balanced crystals. When negative messages were sent, photos revealed defective crystals. His theory includes the notion that human consciousness can affect water, and since our bodies are largely composed of water, this would impact our well being and health.

Similarly, there are QiGong energy exercises where two glasses of identical wine are poured and one is given some QiGong energy for a brief period with one’s hand.  The difference in taste is night and day; the untreated wine tastes sour, the QiGong’d wine, pretty good.

As a nurse, I am always impressed at the compounding effect on illness/wellness by the words people say about themselves or their maladies. Even the suppositional declarations made about what they (probably) have contracted and what the outcome will be (almost always negative) weighs on and impacts their physiology.  Expect the worse and you won’t be disappointed seems to be the operating reason.

So, we have all this data and experience about energy, subtle somatic impressions and ways to communicate.  How the body receives information and the power of the mind on our cell structure and health.  And yet, we spend very little time there, choosing to glean information from a much more obtuse and dense sensibility and facility, albeit, culturally acceptable form (words, partial reasoning). How can we cultivate a more astute approach to communication including these stunning facilities we have at our disposal?  How do we learn to respect and hopefully cultivate this in-depth gift?  A sensitization to our subtle-bodies and an acknowledgement of the highly tuned self that is available is needed.  Perhaps, an experience of this aspect of ourselves is necessary.  Is this somewhat invisible phenomenon compelling enough to investigate? How can I prime this awareness?
