Motivation Through Energy Dynamics

What's this about?

What does it mean when a surge of energy passes through you when the love of your life walks through the door?

What does it mean when the anger in a room stands the hairs on the back of your neck on end?

What does it mean when you know something good is going to happen, and it does?

There's a world of energy swirling around us, and it's playing a big part in our lives. Correction : It is our lives.

The facts and premises are there. Physics. Chemistry. A kazillion laws on this dynamic, and that dynamic. We get it. This is an ordered, and structured universe.

And yet, it's the things we don't see that have the most pull.

This book is about SELF motivation via energy dynamics. Why "energy dynamics"? I've studied the mind, I've studied the spirit, I've studied feelings, and the one consistent variable inside all these areas is ENERGY.

I'm a firm believer in getting to the root of an issue when a question burns in my soul. I wanted to know, I've always wanted to know, why so many things don't make sense while at the same time, so many things do. I learned that my eyes "do deceive" me when I rely on only what they see.

And I needed to know why, and how, a dream could burn inside me, as I sat and watched my life go by. So, I sought to understand "this burn" inside me.

Some where along the line I began to "sense" that my rational, logical mind didn't have, or couldn't find all the answers. I began to become aware of a part of me, way deep inside, that held a knowing, or a "know to do" inclination. The closest word I can think of to describe it is instinct.

It was an instinct born of self, and born of the world around me. It then became apparent that "this burn" was connected to the world around me just as richly as it was connected to me. It was Energy. It was my source to Motivation. And it was made up of MY power to change the world around me.

Energy, it's something you can control and understand without having to drag in issues, or ideas, or dramas from the past; the same issues and dramas that brought you to this point. Sometimes, sometimes, a clean start is the best approach.

This approach can utilize past issues, but only the "energy" contained inside them. Thoughts, ideas, and beliefs stay there, in the past.

We see, we feel, we work with energy, with vibes, everyday. This series seeks to work with the energy that's seated inside of us. This same energy, that ultimately determines our quality of life, and the expression of our dreams.

About What You Want, Think

Think about what you want, how bad you want it, and how it connects with WHO you are.

At the outset of this series, I want to ask you to try and see your mind's usual activities, thoughts, beliefs, expectations, and the usual ongoing banter we all tend to listen to. I want to ask you to see them from a different perspective.

Try to see them as a function of a much deeper part of your Self. A part of yourself which "senses" the world around you.

It's the part that was mentioned in the introduction. It's the part that feels the energy around you:

when you're in love, and that person walks through the door

that part of you that can sense the energy in a room, immediately

that part of you that knows something's going to happen and it does.

These experiences happen at our Energy Level; a level that lies much deeper than where our minds can go.

Granted, if you're like most people, stopping the barrage of thoughts running through your mind takes tremendous effort. What we're trying to do here is to merely "refocus" our mind on the energy behind the barrage.

It's like, instead of looking across a field at a forest, looking directly at the tree in the center of the forest. The tree in the center is your focus, while the forest becomes the blur.

It takes practice, no doubt; yet still, it's a natural ability we all have.

It's a flow, from one focus

words, thoughts judgements

to another

vibes, energy, breath.

This is the mindset we want to be in when we think about our dream, or goal.

When we were kids, this is how we saw our dreams. We even went so far as to "experience" the dream right then and there.

As kids, we tapped directly INTO the Energy of our dreams simply because we could. We knew we could, it felt good, so we did it.

Same thing here.

How Bad You Want It

Does it feel as if your heart dies a slow death with each passing day?

Is there a heaviness at the very center of your being that's always there, always pulling, always needing?

Do you feel suspended inside a realm where a clock is steadily ticking down precious moments of your life? As if you feel rushed to something but you don't know what it is?

If you answered yes to any of the above, chances are you want "something", and you want it in a big way. And even if you don't know what that "something" is, following your raw energy as it presents itself to you now is the quickest path to finding out what that something is, and getting it. The feelings contained inside the above scenarios ARE YOUR INROADS to your dream's energy.

This does bear repeating:

"The feeling, the ENERGY, contained inside your 'want' is YOUR INROAD to your dream's energy."

A part of you already knows this, and is yawning at me. This is the part of you we're looking for. We need to get his, or her attention. Or rather, we need to pay more attention to this part of Self.

Anguish, despair, boredom, anger, restlessness, whichever one, or two, or all you're feeling, your dream's energy lies inside it.

How It Connects With You

There is a depth, a richness, to the energy contained in these yearnings; and it connects directly with the Essence of who, and what you are.

These feelings, this Energy, are gifts, in a sense. And in one way or another, they do define us, whether it be in a constructive, or destructive light.

Take a moment here to focus on whatever feeling is attached to your dream.

If it's anxiety, focus on it. Plug into it.

If it's despair, focus on it. Plug into it.

If it's excitement, focus on it. Plug into it.

Now feel, look for, the energy, the sparks, behind the feeling. Just the energy. It's movement. It's heat, or lightness, or airiness, or heaviness. Just stay with that for a little bit.

Now you're connected with your feeling, your Energy, on a different level. A level where it doesn't have to make sense. The purest form of a thought, a word an idea, an act, is it's Energy.

The closer we can get to this "pure form", the easier it will be to let it "act" through us, instead of against us.

This practice of "connecting" is something that can be done whenever, or wherever you want. Commuting to work, in line at the checkout, as you drift off to sleep at night, are all easy times to practice.

However, the very best time to "connect" with your dream is when your mind is in its critical mode. Granted, this may the hardest time to do it, but it's still all about the Energy. The sooner and harder you hit the negative portrayals of this Energy, the easier it will be to fall into this practice.

Just remember, it's always all about the Energy.

Imagine, the blueprint Imagine, this is the blueprint for whatever you're wanting to change, this is the Mother to the process.

Now it would be absolutely wonderful and great if you could kick back, escape, for a good solid hour everyday, and put together a finely detailed picture of what you want. But that's now always possible on a day-to-day basis, if ever.

If you can, all the better. But what we're aiming for here is to make sure that this "blueprint", your ultimate want, becomes a real part of your daily life NOW. This practice will work within whatever your current routine is now.

My very first time encountering this practice actually happened all by itself, out of nowhere. And every time I think back to this incident, I relive the rush I experienced in those few moments.

I'd just gotten off work, and I was walking across the parking lot towards my car. It was late fall so I had on a coat, my usual work attire, and my trusty bookbag hanging from my shoulder. Now mind you, this was not my dream job by any means, so I was happy that another day there was done.

Right as I reached to open the car door, I caught a reflection of myself in the window, me,coat, bookbag, and it was as if my "dream persona" entered my mind and body in that instant. I, was a writer, heading home at the end of that workday.

And in that instant, I realized there was absolutely no viable reason why I couldn't be writer heading home at the end of her workday.

I felt it. I knew it. It was real.

These are the "kinds" of moments that birth life. ENERGY.

Moments, that pull a person towards whatever that Energy is about. And these moments can be planted like seeds throughout your daily routine. They hold the essence of whatever it is that you want.

The objective here is to,

1. acknowledge these moments, and 2. initiate these moments

...as often as possible within any given day's routine.

Connection, The Mother to the Process Life grows out of these moments, whatever they may contain. Though imagined they may be, they are the seeds to a very REAL future.

Please take great thought in what the content of these moments will be, for they should connect with the essence of who you are, your "reason to be", your connection to life.

The type of connection you're looking for with these "pre-imagined moments" is really no different than the connections you've felt in the past.

For example, being in love. That's a felt connection.

Have you ever been to a really good party? Where everything and everybody just flowed? It was good energy. It was easy to feel. It was easy to connect with.

It's the "feel" that you want. The "feel" is your connection. The feel of your dream, the Energy of your goal in your heart. Moments of these "feels" throughout your day will steer your life in that direction. And if you look around you, at the circumstances of your life right now, this is exactly what has happened.

Somewhere along your yesterdays, your "moments" contained the seeds of what your life is right now. It works whether you're aware of it, or not.

All we're doing here is establishing an awareness of a process that's been taking place all along. Establishing a "relationship" with the "moments" that shape your life is the most powerful step a person can take towards self-empowerment.

This principle is one that successful, and/or happy people apply continuously, in order to get where they're at.

They've repeatedly connected with that part of themselves, the feeling, passionate part. Doing this over and over again not only made them feel good about themselves. it opened their lives up to the circumstances that they're living in today.

They've learned to maintain and nurture this "connection" regardless of what the outside circumstances of their lives were at any given time. Some might call this a Faith Principle, and it is in a sense. But still, it's more than that.

When we connect with someone, or something, or a thought, the principles of physics come into play. And thoughts, thought "moments", are very real, life, shaping variables. They are the precursors to anything physical and present, now.

So all those worn out phrases you've heard :

"Like attracts like"

"Birds of a feather flock together"

"Luck attracts luck"

and my personal favorite, "you reap what you sow", are dead on the money.

These are not just sayings. These are fundamental principles that matter. And they're so simple. It's just a matter of paying attention to the forces that are shaping your life.

This is not some "forced" belief system where if you think it and think it and think it long enough, it will be true. This is about connecting to something that's already there inside you.

This is about choosing to connect with parts of your mind and heart that give you hope, and allow you to believe in your presence, and reason for being alive.

All of the strings, and ties, and pressures in your life, they're gonna be there. That's life. But no one says we have to let them be the driving force in our lives, and that's what happens when strings, and ties, and pressures are all that we think about, and "connect" with.

When you connect with YOUR intentions, your passion, your essence, your dreams, YOU become the driving force in your life. You become grounded. You enter a space where nothing feels as if it is "more than You."

Recap :

1. These "moments", placed and parcelled throughout your day, are the structural framework to whatever it is that you want. 2. The strength of that structure, that framework, will depend on your "connection" to these moments.

FLOW, what's this

Flow, what is it, how to stay out of its way FLOW, is what happens, no matter what.

The challenge is to step into, and stay in, the right current.

Once again, it's all about Energy, and you.

CONNECTION.

Paying attention to the energies going on around us is connecting. Fortunately, this IS something we notice, and respond to, throughout the day.

Say for instance, when I walk into a room of people who don't get along well, or who've just had an arguement, I can feel the tension in the room.

Or, when I'm around two people who are attracted to each other, me and anyone else in the vicinity can feel their chemistry.

It's easy to connect with the energy in these scenarios. It "fills" the air. And it's not any different connecting with the other energies around you.

The biggest part is remembering to do it, or being aware that you ARE doing it; probably without even realizing it.

Here's something to try, easy:

Hop in your car and drive through different areas, or nieghborhoods in your town. As you drive around, take in the sights, but look without judging. Judging, as in, the "automatic commentary" that runs through our minds when we see something different or of interest.

Instead, try and pick up on the energy of what you're looking at. It won't come in words, or thoughts, though. It'll come in "feels".

When I drive through so called bad neighborhoods, I can feel a heaviness, or a tension; whereas the more "affluent" areas feel light, and freer, and sometimes sterile, or frozen-like.

Something else to try if you like to take walks is noticing the energies coming off the different houses you pass. Or, if you're nearby a park, notice the "feel" in the midst of the air and the grass and the trees.

Once you get in the habit of paying attention to this part of yourself, the "feel" part, you'll begin to feel the Flow of energies around you. And eventually, you'll begin to pick up on your particular flow-current. Your particular "current" will feel natural. It'll "fit". You'll know it when your in it.

DO . . . . sister to Flow These are the situations and opportunities you will encounter along the way, there are no coincidences. "...DO... the new"

Inclinations, little ticklings about the brain, our of the ordinary pursuits.

This experience is akin to a soapy bubble breaking free from a water's surface. It breaks with a jolt from the baseline and floats up, maybe zigzags; bit it zigzags up. Freely.

Free. Light. Curious. Excited. Adventurous.

What's happening here is your "imaginings" are changing your energy. And when your energy changes, you start to change.

These are the new energy channels you've created, opening up around your space. Things, situations, you might normally take for granted (or not notice at all) catch your attention. Draw your curiousity.

You'll know they're yours because they will "call" you, draw you, into them. They are roadmarkers to take you where you wanted to go when you first sat down to conceive this new way for your life in your mind and heart.

Inclinations and coincidences won't seem as foreign as they used to be. You'll rather see them as "Oh, ok, I get it", and though you may not understand, you'll "feel" an understanding instead.

It's an amazing and magical process, and yet the logic about it is pure. The only unbelievable part is when you actually go through it. It starts happening right before your eyes.

This is where our logical minds disconnect, which is good, because its part is done. Once your desire is created and envisioned by the mind, and fueled by the heart, your logical mind has done its part.

Our Universe will connect with that energy that you've put out there.

It's always been this way.

What's changed here is the energy you're putting out.

So DO the new. It's a new path that you've created, and you've created it WITH INTENTION.

Coincidences, there's no such thing.

COINCIDENCE [Wordworth English Dictionary] " fact, event or condition of coinciding" the occurence of events simultaneously or consecutively in a striking manner but without any causal connection between them.

This "official" definition is a prime, and genuine example of "being told" to pay attention, and only pay attention, to the limited parts of our being.

Sight, hearing, touch, taste, smell, are these the only things we can do, and do "reliably"?

God, I hope not.

The truth in this definition lies in the fact part, only.

The only causal connection missing is a "see-able" one; but this doesn't mean that a causal connection isn't there.

We humans are really two beings, physical, and spiritual, wrapped into one. We know this. We "feel" this. I, You, Him, Her, are so much more than eyes, ears, skin, tongue and nose. This is fact.

And accordingly, we have at least two sets of eyes. Two sets of ears. Two sets of everything. This "causal connection" then depends on what set of eyes we're using to see what's happening.

Coincidences are situations that we can't make "physical" sense out of; but this doesn't mean they don't happen for a reason. It's just a reason we can't see, or don't understand at that time of its occurence.

Many of us can look back through our lives and remember some of the coincidences along the way. Oftentimes, an odd or eeried feeling accompanied them. This "feel" is not unlike the feel of your new "inclinations".

This "feel" is a different kind of knowing; a deeper, richer logic. and while our minds may not understand this of logic, another part of us understands it very well.

All of this is to say, when a coincidence happens, pay attention to it.

Don't wave it off as insignificant.

Everything, everything, happens for a reason.

FEEL, ...the Energy

"What Direction?"

Bottomline : If you have feeling, YOU HAVE POWER.

The stronger the feelings, the stronger the POWER.

There's a dichotomy in play here though. A paradox. An irony.

You see, before we even get to experience this power, we've already packaged it into a box, and labeled it.

Anxiety Despair Boredom

Fright Anger Restlessness

Most of us aren't experiencing our power until we've already "put it in its place." As in, "this burst of Energy goes here."

"Here," being whatever our mind normally associates with that particular situation and our "place" in it.

The major point here is, it' still just Energy. Workable, moldable, ever changeable ENERGY.

Seize this fact whenever a destructive, destructive to your goal, feeling is in you.

Whether it be anxiety, or anger, or feeling overwhelmed. Remember,

1. it's energy, plain and simple 2. it's just Energy 3. it's totally redirectable, by you

Forget about wherever this feeling came from, or what it's related to.

Seizing this fact will allow you to stand back, take distance, from the feeling so you can see it for what it really is : ENERGY.

A neutral entity.

A raw force.

Raw power.

Once you have an objective, and unattached perspective on the energy inside this feeling, you are able to step in as a creator, and harness, and focus, and direct this energy, this power, in whatever direction you WANT it to gon in.

"Feeling Magnets" Have you noticed how your life has evolved into a certain theme-like series of events?

How the same type circumstances, situations and people keep coming in and out of your life?

bad relationships

a continuous lack of money

ongoing health issues

dead-end jobs

As individuals, we usually don't flip-flop in these areas, or any areas having to do with quality of life.

So what's happening here? Whe do we always seem to end up looking at the same life themes?

It's Energy, it's a magnetic force.....

Energy will only "sit" for so long before it starts to move in one direction, or another; or many directions.

Whatever "casing" we place around it pretty much sets it in motion. This "casing" will then define whether this energy attracts, or repels whatever it's directed towards.

Case in point : Someone you find attactive is in line ahead of you at the checkout. 1st Feeling : "Wow."

Now if we stay at this "Wow" point (energy) and go from there, at the very least, we can let a genuine energy of Self interact with this experience.

But most of us don't stop at this first feeling.

The brain kicks in. We start "telling ourselves" things that most likely have NOTHING to do with this present moment.

And this is where that initial feeling, that pure energy, "Wow", begins to skew. This is where that energy begins to attract, or repel.

Look for the "feel" of the situation.

"Wow" is where you want to start looking for the "feel" of the situation. Most of us don't even start noticing the "feel" until after the brain's kicked in and told us stuff that has nothing to do with NOW.

It's a sort of pre-programming that's pushing, or pulling certain themes into your life experience. This "casing", this wrapping, magnetizes you. Magnetizes your presence in this world.

FEAR, is Fuel

Fear, anxiety, despair, these are the "casings" that most likely appear when we're trying to do something that we're uncomfortable doing. Oftentimes, these feelings are a result of feeling inferior or "less than" what we're wanting to be.

Fear is a fierce, merciless emotion, while anxiety can be like a slow torture of the heart. Despair soon becomes the icing on these finely baked emotions. They get bigger and bigger and bigger until they eventually become a never-ending reflection of the world we live in.

BUT, if we look inside these "casings", fear, anxiety, despair, what's inside is pure energy.

Try something here :

Pick a situation, an uncomfortable situation, and zero in on how it makes you feel. Stay with it for a while.

Now strip away the situation from your mind, and just hang with the uncomfortable feeling. Stay with it.

Now start to look for the energy that's fueling that feeling. Just the energy. Focus on the energy all by itself. Stay with it.

Now you're at the place where the uncomfortable feeling began.

If you continue to stay with the energy, inside the energy, it starts to blend in with the rest of you. And once this happens, you're at a place where you are in control of where it goes, and how it feels.

This is the crux of our presence, our wills, our dreams, our longings. This place, this space, is where it all begins, whether we're aware of this process, or not.

ENERGY, .. MAGNETISM, .. POWER

Power, Essence, SELF,

It's all there. It's always been there.

Inside SELF,

We seek, and we look for answers, for direction, for something to believe in. Something REAL. Something we "know", we sense, we feel, is real.

This universe is ordered by very basic, fundamental principles. Energy makes it run the way it does.

Feelings are our power-packs; and only because they hold our individual sources of energy. They hold our pure energy, our raw energy. They hold our magnetism and our power.

A goal, a desire, a need, is about energy that's already inside you.

However that energy makes you "feel" is what will pull, or attract your desire to you.

All you have to do is "feel" it.

This is the power "in the need".

Flow with the Energy, and let your thoughts evolve from there. Let it be what it exists to be from the start.

Your Energy Dynamic

THINK IMAGINE - FEEL DO FLOW

More than anything else, it's in the actual carrying out of a plan that we need the most support.

We can choose a goal, and imagine it. These are always the first steps.

It's the roadblocks along the way that drain our steam and make what was once a reall possiblility into an evolving lesson in failure.

And because our thoughts, our minds, can be our biggest deterrents, a "deeper", more personal awareness of our individual presence, our essence, can be invaluable in overcoming whatever patterns, or themes are rooted in our day-to-day life experience.

We can all tap into energy. It's an instinctual ability that we use all the time whether we know we're using it, or not. It's instinctual because energy is what makes this universe what it is.

Energy is a flow which aligns and realigns itself continuously, to whatever forces are in play. This is the nature of our universe.

Each of us has our own individual source of this universal energy, and the rules stay the same.

Attending to the enrgy that we each carry, attending to our essence, our individual presence, allows our own natural power and magnetism to work in our lives.

You Energy Dynamic is completely under your control.

Pay attention to IT, instead of the thoughts we use to define it.
