Lisa's Radom Thoughts on Energy

as i check in here and continue to develop various relationships with people i'm meeting, it got me thinking tonight just how powerful energy is.

do you ever stop to think how energy transcends even our technology? Isn't it interesting how we can feel a connection to various people, even on line?

this is a message board of over 4000, and yet almost instantly i feel a connection to different energies that draw me to various individuals. on the same token, i have no doubt that Noah was feeling a surge of energy from all the well wishes that were being sent just through our collective energy.

so if we can feel it and react to it through our online connections, it's no wonder how we are able to feel it through our hands. :)

It's just a shame there has to be written, double blind sided upside down data for some folks to accept that it exist. Kinda like trying to explain love. People feel it. They write and sing about it. They go-hungry, don't sleep and/or dream. But scientifically, it can't be....

I say, "Feel the love!" or in your case, "feel it in your hands!"

I totally agree with both of you. It's like when a client asks me, "How do you do that?" The short answer is, "I don't know."
~ but really, I do. How do I know? Because I do! (I borrowed that from John Edward.)

It IS interesting to me how certain people tend to congregate in certain spaces here...where there is a vibe that's familiar to us, so we keep coming back or finding ourselves together in another space. If this is what networking is all about, I love it, because it is so nurturing in its way.

Having said that, some of the studies people are doing to figure out energy work are really interesting. Lisa, you might be interested to read about or get involved with Lynn McTaggert's Intention Experiment..

Greetings folks.

I don't plan on participating further in this thread, but I do want to say, in response to what Emma said, that I am not engaged in any kind of a game.

Please feel free to critique my work or my positions, but I would appreciate it if you did not assume that I have hurtful motives or bad intentions. Ask anyone in the massage therapy field who knows me or who has worked with me and I am confident that they will tell you this is not the case.

i don't think you have bad or hurtful motives. good respectful debate is always healthy.

i do wonder why you choose a massage and BODYWORK site to debate on though. it's like me going on a road cycling site and toting how mountain biking is by far REAL riding where road is just pedaling. obviously you're gonna get people's emotional reaction to it. isn't that psychology 101? by doing so you intentionally create the debate. doesn't mean it's mean spirited...but it IS with forethought.

i would imagine that when you enter an area of extreme passion for something, and you come in and assert yourself as a disbeliever...you WILL get passion in response. Go to church this sunday and assert yourself as a disbeliever and see if you don't get the same type of passionate response.

on a different note...i find it a shame that psychology has to approach a "phenomena" as it's a fraud to start and then try and prove it's truth. perhaps if we approached things with an open spirit we would get a different truth?

HI Mike,
On the love thing... science has actually pretty well identified the chemicals and processes which create the feelings of love. Alltruistic love? Don't know that it exists. Any and all emotions are basicaly brain chemistry at work in response to a given stimuli and our learned responses to that stimuli over time. We tend to love some people more or less depending on how they stimulate our pre-conditioned brain. I know it sucks to think that love is just some chemicals tickling some synapsis etc... but it doesn't mean we can't enjoy it. Great idea for a thread or discussion group - what is love? And as for energy - it is actualy better defined as EMF electro magnetic force created by the blood and other body functions and fluids surging in and through the body. It is real. Each and every thought creates energy through the expenditure of biochemicals etc... more thoughts more energy produced. measurable in many ways. Even fascia is pizeo electric in nature in that when it is stimulated it releases energy. Retinaculums (around joints) produce the most juice to protect joints from blow outs. down and dirty sorry for any misspelling.
