This Can't Be a Real Thing, Can it?
Several years back, I took a Chi Kung course (ZHINENG QIGONG) to expand my knowledge and practice of energy work and assess this modality's potential to help alleviate health challenges. The teacher was from China, so the instructions were translated on the spot into the bare-bones of English words. This was an advantage, as it kept my mind clear of overthinking, and I followed each step with simplicity. We learned the flow of chi (life force energy) in the body and how to harness universal life force to support our vitality and healing process. Halfway through the course, we were each handed a regular metal spoon. I was somewhat bemused by what we were going to do. I thought, is this some magic trick we were going to learn? Then, the Chi Kung master said we would be bending these spoons. Ok, this was wild. Was he for real?
Focus, Focus, Focus! Can We Mentally Manipulate Energy?
We all followed his instructions, not knowing what would happen. The next minute, I was blown away! I not only bent the spoon, but I curled it around! What?! I could feel the solid metal soften, and it was so easy to bend it around. Then, in 15 seconds, it returned like magic to its rigid metal state! Okay, spoon bending is real! It was such a thrill to experience the mind-boggling power one has of directing and commanding energy with enough focus that we can transform the physical quality of an inanimate object into something else, even if it was just for a brief moment. I went home and grabbed my own spoons just to prove to myself that I could actually do this, and I did! But it was a little harder as I was missing the power of collective energy and intention in class. With more practice, it would become easier. Although I already knew energy work could support healing in various ways, seeing it working in front of my eyes with such ease (and loads of fun!) truly cemented any doubts I might still have had.
Is Your Mind Insisting or Resisting? We Are All Energy Workers!
So, the question of Mind Over Matter? Are We All Natural Energy Workers? I say Yes! We manipulate energy all the time! This Chi Kung class highlighted the dynamic flow of energy and the infinite resource available to us. Wherever you set your intention, energy starts to concentrate in that area. Whether focusing on good or bad things, energy will follow your mindset and accumulate in that space of focus. It will begin to manifest into physical reality. Focusing on things you want to bring forth into your life rather than what irks you is crucial. So, channel energy mindfully and become aware of your daily thoughts to see where you are channelling this creative life force. Approach goals with passion. Feel, think, and envision them, and focus regularly on them to build energetic momentum to turn dreams into solid reality.
Your mind is magnetic!
Love & Blessings,
Stella.
