Everything is energy. Some energy can be seen, like the waves of heat rising from a desert highway in August. Some energy can be heard: Listen now for the sounds in your background; are there birds? traffic noises? the hum of an appliance? Other energies are felt (sensed)—the warmth of your lover sneaking up behind you or the biting cold of wind and sleet against your face.
What is the fragrance of a fresh young pine tree but its essence communicating with you on the air vibrating around you?
Why do women’s bodies release comforting oxytosins at the very sight of a baby?
Certain energies are easy to observe. Consider the quieting you feel when sitting by a babbling brook. You know energy is moving the water, even if it is as simple as the interaction of water and gravity.
Other energies–“solid” energies—interact more sharply with the water, energies in the forms of boulders, rocks and fallen trees. When the water hits the rocks, splashes and imperceptible mists are released—actions that deliver soothing sounds, humidification, and aeration for the living things in the water.
The total environment of the brook, including your sitting on a mossy rock beside it, is involved with the brook’s energy. You are receiving it, feeling it, being acted upon by it, and, science has proven this: You are also affecting the thing you observe, both by looking and by your presence.
"One of the fundamental laws of quantum physics says that an event in the subatomic world exists in all possible states until the act of observing or measuring it "freezes" it, or pins it down to a single state."
from The Field, by Lynne Mc Taggart, Award-winning journalist and author
You press the rock upon which you sit 1/1000th of a millimeter deeper into the ground. The ground presses against tree roots, other rocks, and the streambed itself. A millimeter of loosened mud is washed away by a drop of water, the drop moves inward and the bank is forever changed because you sat there today. And so are you.
