Have you ever felt a sudden surge of positive vibes when entering a room? Or experienced a deep sense of calmness while meditating or relaxing? These phenomena can be attributed to the presence of subtle energy, an invisible force that permeates everything around us. While it may sound esoteric or mystical, subtle energy is a concept that has been explored and studied for centuries by various cultures and disciplines.
So, what exactly is subtle energy? In simple terms, it refers to the subtle, non-physical energy that exists beyond the realm of our five senses. It is often described as a life force, our aura, our biofield or vital energy that flows through all living beings and connects us to the universe or our biosphere. Subtle energy is believed to be the underlying force behind our physical, emotional, and mental well-being.
This subtle energy field surrounding the human body is referred to as the "biofield" and as mentioned in this study from PubMed, this science is an emerging field of study that aims to provide a scientific foundation for understanding the complex homeodynamic regulation of living systems. This better allows us to understand the foundations of biology as well as the phenomena that have been described as "energy medicine."
Many are often perplexed with our approach to health but this isn't a new theory or phenomenon. It's just recently been popularized in the modern world but in previous cultures, this form of health and balance was often our only option.
Different cultures have different names for this energy. In Chinese culture, it is known as Qi or Chi, while in Indian culture, it is referred to as Prana. In Japanese culture, it is called Ki. These ancient traditions have long recognized the importance of subtle energy in maintaining health and balance in the body and mind.
Subtle energy is not limited to humans alone; it is present in all living organisms, including plants and animals. It is the energy that allows a seed to sprout, a flower to bloom, and a bird to fly. It is the force that keeps our hearts beating and our cells functioning. Without subtle energy, life as we know it would cease to exist.
While subtle energy cannot be seen or measured by conventional scientific instruments, its effects can be felt and experienced. Many alternative healing modalities, such as Reiki, acupuncture, and qigong, work with subtle energy to restore balance and promote healing. These practices aim to remove blockages or imbalances in the energy flow, allowing the body to heal itself naturally.
Energy therapies are currently used as supportive therapy in advanced cancer care. An analysis of National Health Statistics data found that approximately 30% of people with lung, breast, colon, or prostate cancer use complementary therapies (Fouladbakhsh & Stommel, 2010). We are seeing an increase in the implementation of noninvasive supportive therapies in oncology settings, including Therapeutic Touch (TT), Healing Touch (HT), and Reiki (Pierce, 2007).
Subtle energy is also closely linked to our emotions and thoughts. Have you ever noticed how your mood can affect the energy in a room? Negative emotions like anger or sadness can create a heavy, stagnant energy, while positive emotions like love and joy can create a light, vibrant energy. Our thoughts and intentions also have the power to influence the energy around us including that of others. This is why cultivating positive thoughts and emotions is essential for maintaining a healthy energetic state.
Understanding and harnessing subtle energy can have profound implications for our overall well-being. By becoming aware of the energy within and around us, we can make conscious choices to cultivate positive energy and release any negative or stagnant energy. This can lead to improved physical health, enhanced mental clarity, and a greater sense of connection to ourselves and the world around us. It creates a peaceful being and a peaceful mind that allows us to make sound decisions when otherwise, we might be in a state of fight or flight creating a sense of elevated stress.
In conclusion, subtle energy is a fascinating and mysterious force that underlies our existence. While it may be invisible to the naked eye, its effects are undeniable. By exploring and working with subtle energy, we can tap into a deeper understanding of ourselves and the interconnectedness of all things. So, the next time you feel a subtle shift in the energy around you, take a moment to acknowledge and appreciate the invisible forces at play.
