Spiritual Energy is an invisible force that is present in everything and everyone. It’s the stuff that makes up your soul or spirit and has a wide array of effects.
Often, people who have a lot of spiritual energy feel energized and full of life. However, some people struggle to find this energy within them.
It Increases Happiness
The first sign of spiritual energy is a desire for more meaning and purpose in life. You begin to let go of habits, lifestyle choices, and relationships that no longer serve you. You prioritize authenticity over people-pleasing and attempts to “keep the peace.” You might notice anomalies in reality, mandela effects, and synchronicities.
Spiritual energy is the force that connects you to The Source, your inner wisdom, and your true self. This energy fashions your experiences and thoughts, emotions and the body. It is a profound human possibility that can be nurtured through prayer, meditation, chanting, contemplation and journaling.
The concept of spiritual energy is found across religions and cultures. It is known in Chinese medicine as qi, and in Indian Tantric philosophy as prana. It also exists in the scientific world as a state of flow, discovered by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. Spiritual energy is a natural and abundant resource, but requires the development of five qualities to access it: faith, effort, mindfulness, concentration and wisdom.
It Makes You Optimistic
Spiritual energy is a form of positive thinking. It’s an energetic force that is found in all religions. In Chinese philosophy and medicine it’s known as qi and in yogic meditation and practice, it is called prana. You can tap into this flow of positive energy every day by practicing intentional and unconditional optimism.
When you have this energy, you’re filled with compassion for people that you used to judge or dislike. You see that everyone is doing their best with what they know and have. It also helps you to be a more open minded person and to accept that there are many different ways of living and believing in this world.
Seeing your life through a lighter lens of optimism and faith can be difficult at first. But it does become easier as you begin to shift your perspective on a regular basis. Begin by practicing gratitude and appreciating everything that goes right in your life.
It Makes You Courageous
Spiritual energy (Qi, Ki, Prana, Pneuma) is the force of life that keeps your physical body alive. For millennia, civilizations have cultivated and practiced ways to use this power for greater good.
When you have high levels of spiritual energy, it creates a courage in your heart and mind. You are more likely to step outside your comfort zone and do what is right, even if it feels scary.
The Bible describes this as “boldness.” It is also described as a steadfastness of spirit, a resiliency that allows you to weather life’s storms instead of retreating in fear.
In business, research has shown that people with high spiritual energy are more likely to sacrifice their egos and do what is best for the company. They are better leaders and more likely to inspire their employees. This results in higher profits and a more stress-resilient workplace.
It Makes You Forgive
As you begin to move into your heart space, a place of love, forgiveness is often required. When you are able to forgive those who have hurt you, whether it was yesterday, this morning or a long time ago, it allows you to release the energy of anger and resentment that is holding you back from moving forward in your life.
This doesn’t condone their behaviour nor forget what they did, it simply frees you from the burden of their negative actions. They will eventually have to face their own soul reflection about what they did – either in this lifetime or in the next, it is just how energy works.
Forgiveness is also one of the most effective ways to clear cords of attachment. When these energetic ties remain in your energy system they can clog your heart chakra and prevent it from flowing. This is why releasing these energies through forgiveness practices is so important.
