Energy is a Big Subject We all think that we know what energy is. But do we? We turn on a radio or the TV and it works. We just press a button or turn a knob and hey presto we have power, we have vision we have colour and we have sound. We have these things all of the time around us and in us and most of us do not acknowledge this. We do not take note of this because it is part of all that makes us possible in this life. If we lost our hearing how difficult would our lives be? If we lost our vision how difficult would our lives be? We rely on our senses to help us navigate daily life. If we lose any one of our senses the others seem to take over and compensate for that which we have lost. We absorb and make sense of our external world through our senses and the energy that it sends in our direction. The idea of energy is so simple and yet it is so difficult to explain. It is that which we take for granted all of the time. Every moment of our lives we have energy coming at us and yet we do not acknowledge it largely at all. Why do we not? We do not give the energy a second thought because it is not important to us as long as it is doing for us what it needs to do. It is only when it does not work for us that we really notice it. Our senses make sense of our external environments through the energy that comes at us all of the time. Light is energy and light is the colour that we see. Sound is energy and it is what we hear with our ears. Energy is around us all of the time. The wind that rushes past us is energy the warmth from the Sun is energy. A person blowing you a kiss is energy and the person talking to you is energy as well as their words to you. It is all energy however you look at it. You are energy I am energy and the kitchen sink is energy. There is nothing that is not energy. So why is that important? It is important because at the most fundamental level that is what connects all of us. The fact that all is energy and all energy has an impact on all energy. One source of energy can will and does affect another source of energy. I am energy and I now speak to you through my written word. What I am saying to you has energy is energy and you receive it as energy. If I say something to you that upsets you there will be a response to that by you. Think of something that someone has said to you in the past that has hurt or upset you. Think of that now. Bring it to mind and relive it now. Now how do you feel? Is your heart racing? Do you feel upset? Are you feeling a bit low? Has your mood become depressed? Has it made you cry or brought some tears to your eyes? Are you feeling angry? Have the palms of your hands started to sweat? Are you hot under the collar? These are the types of things that happen to us when we are upset or angry. These are typical responses to another person saying or doing something that has hurt or upset us. What has really happened to you is this. You have received an energetic encounter with someone and you have responded to that energetic encounter with energy. If something was said to you then that is energy. The words are energy and the words have their own vibration which is energy in itself. You have felt that energy of the words. They have had resonance upon your being physical mental and emotional. You have responded to those words with energy. Your thoughts are energy. They radiate out of your physical body by way of a vibration and so you send them out into the world and the situation. The response that your physical body musters as it responds to the hardship of the negative encounter is energy. The heat that the body exudes is energy also; the sweat from the anger is energy. The anger itself is energy; the action of any sort that may come as a result of the negative encounter is energy. We could go on and on but I am sure you take my point. There is nothing that is not energy. It just comes in one form or another but it is all energy. All that exists is no more than one form of energy or another form of energy. Each form of energy has impact on the other form of energy. We, each form of energy are linked to each other as energy.

About the Book
How can a book bring martial arts, meditation, quantum physics, Reiki healing, health, well-being, and one’s place in the world together and explain them in a way that highlights their connection and uniqueness as part of a universal whole? Here, we describe the essence of what binds the universe together and connects these seemingly disparate things, energy. We discuss how energy is the root of all these things and how we can harness its great power and potential to create lives for ourselves that are empowering, exhilarating, loving, and fifilled with a sense of awe and a desire to explore and discover . . . the way life is meant to be!
