Spiritual Energy is the energy that fashions your life through thoughts, emotions and the body. You may be familiar with this concept from practices like reiki, energy healing or chakra work.
Invisible, intangible and amazingly powerful energies connect everything in our universe. You are no exception! This article will cover multiple topics, including the many dimensions we may exist in, our soul and how to increase your spiritual energy levels.
Spirituality
Spirituality is the belief that there is a larger meaning to life. It is also the belief that human beings are spiritual beings, that we have a soul, and that we are all connected.
Spirituality refers to a sense of wonder, sacredness, hope and meaning in one’s life. It is a personal dimension of life and often becomes more prominent during times of emotional stress, illness or loss. It includes the search for meaning in one’s existence, beliefs about the universe and practices that connect with the transcendent.
Your spiritual energy system flows within and around your physical body like a kaleidoscope of multicoloured electromagnetic energy. Through this energy system you are able to sense, feel and intuit everything and everyone around you. It is the source of your inner strength and happiness, your resilience and your ability to love. It can be drained, however, by people who drain your energy. It is essential that you know how to protect your spiritual energy.
Religion
Religion is the recognition on the subjective side of dependence on God and, on the objective side, the voluntary acknowledgement of that dependence through acts of homage. It calls into play the intellect, the imagination, and the emotions. It engenders hope because the concept of communion with a protector that is so good and powerful evokes an anticipation that is indefinable.
Spiritual energy can be found in all living things and is believed to exist on all levels of reality. Also known as chi, ki, prana, or mana, it’s a force that is invisible but can exert great change on living things.
It’s similar to gravity; you don’t need a physical explanation for how it works, you just know it does. All living things hold a certain amount of this energy and can increase it through various practices. This energy allows us to fulfill our divine purpose or dharma. It’s almost like having superpowers! This is why many people are drawn to this type of spirituality.
Psychology
The field of spiritual psychology, or psychosynthesis, combines the teachings and practices of many world religions to offer an alternative perspective on mental health. It focuses on healing the root causes of suffering by integrating transcendent truths into modern psychological methods.
Psychosynthesis counseling approaches view spirituality as a universal human experience that encompasses all levels of consciousness. This includes a person’s innermost feelings, as well as their drives and urges. For example, a person’s spiritual energy is often related to their ability to give and receive love.
This concept of spiritual energy is different from the belief that the aura, or electromagnetic fields surrounding the body, can be altered by touch or psychic intervention. The forces of magnetism that create the aura are well-understood and quantified by science, and are used in medical procedures such as radiation therapy. As such, these theories are considered pseudoscience. Psychosynthesis psychologists recognize that clients may bring in spiritual or religious beliefs to their counseling sessions, and are ethically responsible for honoring these beliefs.
Health
Strong research suggests a connection between positive beliefs, comfort and strength gained from spiritual worship services, meditation or prayer and overall health. People who participate in these activities are less likely to develop serious conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure and depression, and have a higher capacity for self-healing.
Mental energy is a critical component of our spiritual energy and can manifest as happiness, confidence, focus, motivation, willpower and the ability to overcome obstacles. Lack of mental energy leads to a low mood, low productivity and even anxiety.
Many people use a spiritual lens when understanding their illness. This doesn’t mean that the spiritual approach guarantees a return to health, but it can help people cope and find meaning in their experiences. Many people who seek out energy healing are looking to restore their body’s normal energy balance. Energy healers “channel energy” through their hands into the patient to achieve this goal. This concept is based on theories in quantum physics.
