How Do You Share Your Energy?

Jill Bolte Taylor, My Stroke of Insight, ©2006, wrote about her experience of recovering from a stroke. During the first weeks of Jill's illness, the left side or rational side of her brain was completely shut down. She experienced everything around her from the right side of her brain where she had no language and could only feel the people around her as energy. She felt acceptance and love from some and that she was just another body from others. (My words.) Jill believes we are all responsible for the energy we share with others.

As you have read in my articles, I believe we can shift our energy by choice and this shifts how those around us perceive us. Shifting how our energy is flowing in and around us. And, of course, our mood influences those around us.

Those around us feel the way our energy is flowing, as we are all energetic beings. People literally feel our energy flow whether they consciously think about it or not. This is what we call our Presence. It is what influences your thoughts about any person. Research reports that anywhere from 50% to 95% of our presence is nonverbal. I interpret this phenomenon to be the way our energy flows between us. (We are influenced by memories that involve that person, as well, a topic for another newsletter.) The way our energy is flowing shifts our thoughts, emotions, and language as well as the thoughts, emotions, and thus the language of those around us.

Think about the last time you were in a line at a bank or store. What did you perceive from the clerk for whom you were waiting? What kind of energy flow did you experience? Did you feel yourself looking forward to your turn to engage with him or wishing your business were complete because of what you felt? We can influence another person's energy. We can give them a gift of a shift. Consider these questions:

How can even a little intentional shift of your energy influence a clerk's day?
Do you desire to show you recognize him as another energy being?
Do you desire to lighten his day by showing gratitude for what he offers you?
It is a choice... it is always a choice!
We are feeling creatures who think versus thinking creatures who feel.
