Welcome to Life Force Energies!
Do you ever have days where you are filled with vitality and other days where you don’t want to move? You are likely experiencing fluctuations in your life force energy.
Life force energy is a subtle yet dynamic force that supports our physical and emotional health. There are numerous schools and practices that explore and develop ways to bring balance and resilience to these energies.
Here is a very brief introduction to Life Force Energies, enjoy!
Practices. The most well-known practice, acupuncture, comes from the 3,000 year old tradition of Chinese Medicine and is based on the flow of life force energy. Acupuncture is licensed by most US state medical boards as a specialty.
Other methods include reiki, therapeutic touch, Eden Energy Medicine, acupressure, qigong, and even yoga. Yoga was developed 5,000 years ago as a way of balancing our energies to support our overall resilience and the capacity to meditate more deeply.
Names. There are dozens of names that refer to our Life Force Energy that include: chi (qi), prana, subtle energy, kundalini, and spirit. Names for specific energy systems include chakras, meridians and auras.
Underlying Nature. Quantum physicists suggest that life force energy is an integral part of the underlying quantum field that comprises all of life. Einstein, with his famous formula E=MC2, proposed that mass is comprised of energy. Our contemporary methods indeed demonstrate that everything is comprised of atoms in constant movement and in relationship with other atoms, creating a oneness of energy at the subatomic level. Many mystics of various religious traditions report experiencing this oneness as they expand their consciousness.
It is this field of oneness and how it shows up as us that becomes the target of life force energy work. Despite thousands of years of practice working with the life force, we still don’t fully comprehend why or how it works. It is a mystery. We also don’t understand the brain and how we have consciousness, yet we rely on it constantly.
Einstein encouraged us to embrace the mystery with his quote, “The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science.” You are encouraged to embrace the mystery of life as you explore Life Force Energies.
