Giving Energy July 27
I wrote this in an email today to a friend who’d asked me to explain what I meant by giving negative energy to someone by spending a lot of time and effort on being negative towards or about them.
Everything takes energy. The energy of molecules moving around, or in our more gross world as humans, energy can also be expressed as effort, even if it’s the effort of thought instead of the effort of moving a mountain. Just staying alive, breathing, digesting food, etc takes a certain amount of energy. You spend that amount of energy on yourself or you drop dead, eh?
If you spend no effort and/or time on some one or something, you’re not giving it any of your energy. Like for something you throw in a closet and forget, you’re spending little energy on it.
If you spend a lot of energy on it (ie, a lot of effort and/or time and effort), in a way it’s “giving” your energy to whatever it is, or using your energy on it/them. Whatever or whoever it is effectively “gets” the outcome of your spending.
You can “give” energy positively. Like doing something nice for yourself or a friend, or buying something you like. That’s giving energy or effort in a positive way.
You can also “give” energy in a negative way. Like bitching and moaning and worrying about someone mean or bothersome, is using your energy on them. It takes a lot of energy to do that, but it’s not generally positive to do so.
Make sense?
As always, take what works for you and disregard the rest.
