Body/Mind/ Spirit: Positive energy

For the last hundred years, since Albert Einstein revealed to the scientific world that mass is a form of energy (and vice-versa) with his famous equation E=MC2, we have begun to understand that reality is, basically, energy. And energy, we are coming to find out, has some previously unsuspected characteristics: it is not bound by time nor space; in fact it is more likely to be time and space! You- the Body/Mind/ Spirit you- are the positive energy that is created by your body, mind, and spirit. And as positive energy, you are neither bound by time nor space.

We tend to think of the body as a "container"- the mass- that houses the mind and spirit. This is partly true for it consists of fifty trillion or so cells; however these cells are all energetically connected, and communicate information back and forth electrically, chemically, and magnetically. This energetic flow is essential to our wellbeing. The channels for this flow are called meridians, a connecting network that goes throughout the body and organs. The strongest, heart meridian has by far the greatest electrical charge (far greater that the brain) and is the center of the electromagnetic “aura” field that radiates out from you. We can think of this as the center, or “ground” of our positive energy system.

We think of the conscious and subconscious mind as being a function of the brain. Perhaps it is more accurate to think of the conscious mind as being a control center, however, for the brain is connected to all fifty trillion cells in our body, while the brain itself only contains a paltry hundred billion or so. At the helm of this control center is our conscious mind. It has access to information from the fifty trillion cells and their energy information through the subconscious mind. Blockages of this energy information flow at the subconscious level can occur. These blockages have a “gate keeper” effect, preventing some information from consciousness. We can roughly identify and measure some of these mental activities in our brain with instruments like EEGs and EKGs, and at least grossly identify some mental states.

The spirit is more elusive. It is (quite obviously) a spiritual concept and traditionally not thought to have mass or any physical substance. Modern science and ground-breaking technology are bringing these traditional ideas into question, however! It appears that we humans emanate, from the heart, a magnetic energetic aura measurable to a distance of six to eight feet. Other findings with more advanced technology hint that this distance may be far greater, especially at higher vibration frequencies. We are now venturing into the quantum world, where time and distance disappear. Here we connect to the Universe, perhaps even to God. This positive energy flow may be where we encounter the miraculous! We will consider ways of increasing this energy flow in the future posts.
