How We Give our Power Away..
The Concept of "leaking energy"
They say awareness is the crux of how our reality is shaped, handled, created.
Much like the Quantum Observor effect, when we are thinking about, talking about, emotionally affected by something… it influences reality.
I remember hearing that our thoughts create our reality for the first time.
I FREAKED OUTTTT
What do you mean the way I talk to myself is influential? I thought everyone just had extremely negative thoughts all the time… like me?
i’m having a bit of trouble writing this into specific words so bearrr with me.
Essentially, our reality is perpetually being written and overriden by the patterns we portray in our lives.
It looks like:
What information we tap into
Our identitys with things
How we speak about us
How we speak about the other
Cuz, you see, we are all connected to everything else like cells.
The universe/god you could say is the main being, while we are fractal aspects of it.
Just like when our cells our energetically healthy, hydrated, the rest of our body follows suit with that.
Not to say that coming from trauma you’re doomed..
There is a way!
What I’m getting at here is that there is there is a importance and matter of what we -conciously- do, say, and think.
An important preface that keeps this theory twined together is that the thoughts we think only have true impact if we identify with them.
You see, identity is one of the main positive, freeing experiences on earth…and earths downfall.
When we identity too closely with our mind and the way our thoughts are, it can end up at its worst destroying our lives, and at its medium, making us feel trapped in our head.
One of the biggest things I got from Yoga was the added benefit of learning to observe my thoughts instead of thinking they came just from me.
Our brains job is to think from what we know, create stories, and to transmit information.
When we have excess information it can feel overwhelming in a way.
Feels like a lot? here’s where the main message comes in.
When we expend our energy and awarenes onto subjects we:
Feel out of control of
Make us upset
Give more than we feel comfortable
This leaks our energy.
its the opposite of the “path of least resistence”
Believe it or not, and you may have been here
You can live your entire life feeling this way.
It can cause pent up energy in the body, and leaks that make you feel dumbed down, depressed, empty.
Simply you can say that the remedy is to stop watching the stuff that hurts you, or talking down on yourself, or detach from people who feel draining.
But we can start with one thing,
ADDING
Adding always can improve our lives, and feels simpler than deleting something else.
It’s like adding water to coffee - over time it will run clear.
The exercise:
For 10 days,
Ask yourself first thing in the morning what could bring you the most joy, and DO IT.
Following your joy is how your soul speaks to you.
