The common way to interpret personal energy is - You either got it or you don’t. If your energy is “low,” you’re tired or depressed. If you have “lots of energy,” you’re amped up, ready to go. This is a quantitative sort of energy where you can imagine yourself as a measuring container with x amount of energy units to spend.

But a more subtle and qualitative sort of energy is just as important and real. This kind of energy is the vibe that we give off (a slang term that is in fact very accurate - all energy vibrates at a particular frequency). 

This qualitative energy can be thought of as both the sum total of our outer expressions (clothes, posture, facial expression, tone of voice), as well as the underlying inner quality of our being.

The important point is that we unconsciously communicate with and affect each other in real and measurable ways… invisibly… energetically. Maybe you have some sense or understanding of this. Did you know that you can consciously transform the kind of energy or vibe you give off, for your benefit as well as everyone else’s? 

For almost 20 years, Heartmath Institute has been measuring and studying the electromagnetic fields (EMFs) that our bodies emit, and they have made some fascinating discoveries:

• Our hearts emit measurable EMFs. So do our brains.
• These EMFs interact with each other, affecting our cognitive abilities and emotional states.

Also:

• Our heart’s EMFs, (as well as our brain’s) extend well out from our bodies and, get this,  affect other people’s hearts and brains!

I’m not going to go deeply into the specifics of this in this post, but suffice to say… You are right now unconsciously affecting your own and other people’s (ie: your lover or spouse’s!) emotional states, cognitive functioning and physiology with your own subtle energies, including the quality of your thoughts and feelings. Imagine the implications for your relationship.

The only question is… will you make it conscious?
