Energy
Recognizing Your Human Energy Field, Protecting Your Spirit, and Renewing Your Strength in God Have you ever walked away from a conversation feeling entirely drained by an unhappy person, or instantly uplifted by someone radiating positivity? Encounters like these remind us that we constantly pick up the energy of the people, places, and things around us. Comprising physical, etheric, emotional, mental, and spiritual layers, our human energy field can easily become out of balance based on our environment and thought processes. This thoughtful reflection explores how to recognize when your spirit is running low, why we must guard against "energy vampires," and how a sincere, soul-baring connection with God provides the ultimate renewal so we can mount up with wings like eagles.

Spiritual & Emotional Energy: Guarding Your Field and Connecting to the Ultimate Source
Did you know that when you encounter a person, place, or thing, you can pick up the energy of what you've encountered?
Say, for instance, you happen upon someone who is always upbeat, positive, and smiling. Everyone wants to be with or near that individual because he or she radiates positive energy. They light up a room. That's always a welcomed encounter.
Now, have you ever encountered someone who is genuinely unhappy, disgruntled, argumentative, and angry? Did you notice your energy seemed "drained" after conversing with or counseling that person who was unwilling to change his or her perspective? If you're a positive-energy person, you couldn't wait to get out of the vicinity of that "energy vampire."
Understanding the 5 Layers of Energy
The human body and experience consist of five distinct layers of energy:
Physical
Etheric
Emotional
Mental
Spiritual
Together, these five layers comprise the human energy field. These layers can be in balance or out of balance depending upon your environment, the people you engage, and your internal thought processes.
Have you checked on the status of your energy bodies lately?
What It Means to Be "In Balance"
To be "in balance" means to be in step with God—emotionally, spiritually, physically, and mentally.
Through Christ, we can feel a calmer, deeper sense of being. We know He is our Comforter and Protector. We know there is always an answer to our troubles that reveals itself in intentional prayer and meditation. We know that if we permit it through faith, all will be well again.
Recharging Your Spirit in the Divine Source
During this life, there will inevitably be times when we experience "low energy." There will be days, weeks, and sometimes even longer seasons when our spirit requires re-energizing through meditation, fellowship, wise counsel, or rest—whatever the mind and body may require.
Remember: The overall energy we need and require to sustain us is a sincere, soul-baring connection with God.
In His presence, our minds find mental peace and deep acceptance.
In His rest, our physiological bodies find space to heal and restore.
In His spirit, our spiritual energy connects directly to the Creator.
In my lifetime, I have learned that God is all-encompassing, He is all-knowing, and He is the source of all energy. Guard what you absorb, align with His light, and allow Him to replenish your soul today.

Isaiah 40:28-31
Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.
