An Energetic Intro
“Energy is Everything & Everything Is Mind!”
By Adara Moselle
Energy is the foundation of life. Understanding energy is essential for living a balanced and harmonious life, whether it's the physical energy that drives your body, the emotional energy that influences your feelings, or the spiritual energy that connects you to the universe. As you learn to master your energy, you will find that it transforms every aspect of your existence—your health, relationships, creativity, and sense of purpose.
What is Energy?
Energy is often described as the life force that flows through everything. It's called Chi, Prana, or Life Force in different traditions. It animates our bodies, governs our emotions, and even affects our mental clarity. Energy flows in and around us, and when it flows freely, we experience harmony and well-being.
One of the key teachings from the path of Tantra and Shamanism is that everything is interconnected through energy. Our thoughts, emotions, physical health, and spiritual growth are all powered by the same fundamental force. When we learn to control and direct this energy, we unlock our potential to live a life of purpose, balance, and joy.
Types of Energy:
Physical Energy: The energy from food, sleep, and movement that sustains our bodies. Emotional Energy: The fuel behind our feelings, interactions, and relationships.
Mental Energy: Connected to thoughts and focus, allowing us to make decisions and solve problems. Spiritual Energy: The unseen connection between ourselves, others, and the universe.
What Happens When You Control Your Energy?
When you gain control of your energy, the world opens up in ways you might never have imagined. Here are just a few things that can happen when you master your own energy:
Increased Vitality: Imagine waking up each day with a sense of vibrancy and strength. Many who master their energy report feeling more alive, more capable, and more resilient. Instead of being drained by daily life, they feel energized by it.
Emotional Mastery: Controlling your energy means controlling your emotions. You can stay calm in stressful situations, overcome anxiety, and approach life with greater balance and peace. Instead of being swept away by anger, fear, or sadness, you can channel these emotions into productive outcomes.
Mental Clarity: With energy mastery comes mental sharpness. Decisions become clearer, and distractions lose their power over you. You may find yourself able to solve problems faster, create new ideas more easily, and experience an overall sense of clarity and focus.
Enhanced Relationships: When you manage your energy, your relationships shift. You become more attuned to others, more empathetic, and better able to communicate and connect. You’ l attract relationships that nurture and support your growth, and you’ l be able to offer the same in return.
Spiritual Alignment: Energy mastery leads to a deeper connection with your higher self and the universe. You begin to feel a sense of alignment with your purpose, a knowing that you are exactly where you are meant to be, and a trust in the unfolding of your path.
Story Time
"The Hermit of the Mountains"
There is an old Tibetan story about a hermit who spent his life meditating in a remote mountain cave. For decades, he practiced breathwork and energy mastery until he could control the weather in his immediate surroundings. Villagers noticed that no matter the season, the land around his cave was always calm, sunny, and in bloom. They asked him to teach them how to harness such power. The hermit smiled and said, "To control the outer elements, you must first tame the storm within." This story illustrates how mastering energy brings control over not just inner turbulence but the external world as well.
It’s a reminder that the deeper we go into energy mastery, the more influence we have over our environment.
"The earth is heavy with power, and those who walk with light feet will feel it rise up to meet them."-Indigenous Proverb
In the Himalayan mountains, there is a lesser-known practice ca led Tummo, or "inner fire" meditation. Monks who practice Tummo can generate intense heat within their bodies through energy control. In 1981, scientists documented monks drying wet sheets draped around their freezing bodies in the sub-zero temperatures of the Himalayas, using nothing but the heat produced by their bodies. This level of mastery over one’s energy i lustrates that with proper control, energy can transcend physical limitations, making the impossible possible!
Unique Applications of Energy Mastery
The Quiet Power of Healing: In shamanic cultures, there’s a little-known practice called "energy whispering," where a shaman speaks gently to the energy fields of a sick person. They whisper healing commands into the body’s energy system, helping the person recover by aligning their own energy with natural rhythms. This subtle but powerful approach to healing demonstrates how we can learn to communicate directly with energy when we become sensitive to it.
A Shift in Relationships: In certain Tantric teachings, it’s said that once you master your energy, your relationships become mirrors of your inner state. If your energy is harmonious and calm, those around you wil feel it and respond in kind. It is said that advanced practitioners can walk into a chaotic room and, without saying a word, shift the energy to one of calm simply by holding their own internal equilibrium. This story reflects the power of our energy in influencing those around us and the world we live in.
Energy in Everyday Life
Energy influences every aspect of your life—your health, relationships, and even your mood. When your energy is balanced, everything flows more easily. When it’s blocked, you may feel stuck or out of sorts. Gaining control of your energy is about reclaiming your power. It means becoming the master of your own experience, directing your energy toward what nourishes you, and learning to release what no longer serves you.
I LOVE YOU...STAY POWERFUL!
