I wrote this back in 2022! I just came across it today while scrolling through my page. Thought I would re-share it 💜🙏🏼
"EVERYTHING IS ENERGY"
What does this even mean? We hear buzz words of phrases such as this, or "doing the work", or "shadow work", or "awakening", or "trauma healing". On some level, we might consciously 'understand' such phrases, but I want to dive a little deeper, I really want to spark curiosity within you. Contemplation and questions bring light to answers you didn't even know you were seeking.
So, everything is energy might seem self-explanatory, but I wonder if you truly understand what this statement means. Do you understand the depth of this concept? To really get to understand this, I want to take you back (just for a minute) to primary school science where we first learned about the atom, (we're going subatomic here!) We know that the atom at it's center has a positively charged nucleus, dancing around this nucleus is the negatively charged electrons. The nucleus in turn is consists of two kinds of subatomic particles, protons which are positively charged and neutrons which are electrically neutral. The charge on the proton and electron are exactly the same in magnitude, but opposite in sign. Protons and electrons attract each other because they have opposite charges (opposites attract). The definition of the atom is that it is the building block of matter.
Atoms are able to interact with each other through bonding, to form more complex substances known as molecules. These interactions determine the state of matter the atoms are in, they can be found as solids, liquids or gas. WE are matter, carbon-based matter and at a subatomic level we are 'held together' by these atoms. (it is a lot more complex than this) but I'm going to keep it simple. When you look at life like this, at a subatomic level, you begin to understand how everything is energy. This is what it means when we say everything is connected, through this energy, all is connected. Scientists have discovered that when two particles such as a pair of photons or electrons become entangled, they remain connected, even when separated over vast distances. The connection between the two particles remains as strong as if they were still together. When one particle is manipulated on one end, the exact same thing happens to the separated particle on the other end.
So, in a world where we have been driven into feeling disconnected, understand that this disconnection is just an illusion. In fact, we are more connected to everything than we could even imagine. We are connected to the trees, the plants, the animals, to each other. WE are a collective energy having a physical experience, but because of the physical experience and how painful it can be at times, we become separated.
This energy, this connection, is how manifestation works, this is what it means when someone say's 'what you focus on you create'. So, I invite you to begin to really become aware of your energy, where are you directing it? What are you focusing on, externally as well as internally. You are so much more powerful than you realise. Become aware that EVERYTHING IS ENERGY, everything is connected, and you are part of that connection, you are never alone, you are loved infinitely beyond your comprehension.
I love you 🫶
