Energy is neutral, thus it can’t be considered good or bad. A hurricane is an example of a release of built up energy in the atmosphere, but it’s not “bad” because it doesn’t know why it’s doing it. It’s simply acting on its unbiased nature. Energy itself can’t be judged as good or bad, but how we use energy can be deemed positive or negative.
Our emotions carry a lot of energy, so how we choose to express them affects more than just us. When we’re upset with or angry at someone in the same room as us, but we have to pretend like nothing’s wrong, it’s obvious to everyone else in the room. Most of us can sense when there’s tension in the air. Of course it can be displayed through body language or tone of voice, but we can’t dismiss that there’s a palpable awareness of negative emotional energy.
So when we feel any type of emotion -positive or negative- we can choose to transform the energy behind it and create a positive use for it. Since anything we think, do, believe, or express is tied to an emotional response, if we can transform our emotional energy then we can control and balance our energy. It all depends on the amount and type of energy we invest into something. Then we can decide to respond to negative situations with a positive response, thus transforming our energy -and the situation.
How we react and respond to life determines the result. Once we learn to control our energy, we’ve essentially learned how to recreate and positively influence the world around us.
