Divine Energy

Walking the Tao is about working with energy. You can learn how to perceive an energy exchange, how to read the energy of a situation and even how to transform it. You can not see the energy, but you can perceive and sense it. Reading the energy of a situation or a person requires your attention and sensitivity. This skill is certainly something that can be mastered over time.

We are all made up of energy, we are all one in an invisible way. So you can in fact study the concept of Oneness by studying energy. Experience how you are influenced by the persons you get in touch with, by the environment you are operating in and the energy exchange of each situation.

Say you go to a party. As soon as you walk into the door you can sense that you are getting high and excited. So you literally feel this the energy of this situation. Monitor how you feel the next morning as well. You may have had alcohol at the party, you may not be able to sleep well in the following days, or you may feel extremely tired next morning, you may find that your body feels tight. So perhaps next time you don't want to expose yourself to this kind of energy anymore even though it seems to be so much fun when you are part of it.

You have a choice in exposing yourself to the energy that works for you; the kind of energy that doesn't just give you a temporary high but a permanent lift. You will know what kind of energy fields these are. It may be the presence of your soul partners; it may be a loving or creative work environment. Find something that ignites a fire in you, but one that burns permanently. You must have experienced the difference between serenity and passion. One is permanent, the other is a temporary high. The trick is to be in touch with the permanent and uplifting energies as much as possible.

Nature will connect you with this uplifting energy. The greener the environment, the better the effect. Music can have the same effect too. It is always easy to tell how your emotion is changed according to the music you are listening to. Different music radiates different frequency. The books or articles that you read have the same effect too. Spending time with good friends or children lifts you up. And if you are really blessed, meaningful work can give you this lasting energy connection as well. Giving and thinking of others always connects you with positive energy. We often talk about the Tao. The Way is really an energy connection. There is a divine connection moment by moment that you can tab into. When you have seen glimpses of this fact you are on your way to become an energy master.

You will probably feel anxious or will be in a bad mood after you read or watch news because most of time these media only broadcasts negative stories. Start studying your energy dynamics after particular events. Schedule downtimes that allow you to evaluate your energy states. Soon it will become normal for you to stay with the uplifting energies and avoid the negative one. You will discover the Way as an ongoing purifying process. A high energy field will build and soon you will avoid anything that interferes with it like the plague.

An energy master will develop over time. Follow the divine energy and see where the journey gets you.
