The term “spiritual energy” isn’t well defined. It has a clear meaning in physics, based on laws like E=mc2.
But spiritual writers often use the term to mean something different. They may refer to emotional energy or a sense of purpose. They might talk about healing or prophecy. They might speak of the Five Spiritual Powers or the gift of the Holy Spirit.
It’s a Force
When we talk about energy, most of us think of it from a rational, scientific perspective. We know that energy powers the lights in our homes, there’s kinetic and potential energy, and that Einstein’s E = mc squared proves that it’s behind everything that exists.
But there’s also spiritual energy, which is a force that permeates everything and is within every living thing. And many people who walk a spiritual path believe that it’s possible to increase their level of spiritual energy.
When you speak of spiritual energy, it’s important to remember that it is a different force than physical or material forces. For example, if you’re a dog owner, you’ve probably seen your dog jump on you or lick you when you are sad or happy. This is because dogs have a lot of spiritual energy. The same is true for most of the world’s animals and plants. This energy is transmitted through a person’s aura.
It’s a Consciousness
Spiritual energy is what connects us with The Source and carries all the information of our souls. It is present on every level of reality and can be increased through different activities, including meditation.
When people talk about being in “the flow,” they are referring to this state of consciousness. Writers, musicians, designers, athletes, and more have all spoken of this feeling, under the right conditions, of being fully engaged and in the moment.
The concept of spiritual energy is an ancient one that has influenced religious, medical, and mystical traditions. It is often described as a vital force that animates living beings and permeates the cosmos. In physics, this concept is sometimes referred to as subtle energy or cosmic energy. These energies vibrate at different frequencies and can manifest into units of any size, from atoms to suns and souls. They ebb and flow, merge into and separate from each other, like oceans of light.
It’s a Feeling
A sudden increase of spiritual energy might feel like a big rush in your crown chakra at the top of your head. It’s a signal that the ego has been silenced and that the messages from Spirit that you’ve been tuning into have come through. This is a good time to do the grounding meditations we’ve talked about.
It’s also a good time to ask your guides or angels to clear any debris in your field that doesn’t belong there. They’re always happy to help!
It’s worth mentioning that there is a debate about whether or not spiritual energy is actually energy. Some people are frustrated at physicists for using the word “energy” in a spiritual sense when it’s well-defined in physics and meets the requirements of known laws like E=mc
It’s a Habit
Spiritual growth is a deeply personal journey that provides a sense of purpose and connection with something greater than oneself. It is often a lifelong process that requires patience, persistence, and practice.
Spiritual energy can be tapped into in simple ways, such as by practicing gratitude or meditating on scripture. These practices can be paired with daily routines, such as brushing teeth or commuting to work. This is called habit stacking and helps you build faith-building habits without adding overwhelm to your life.
Just as radiowaves, microwaves, and sound waves are transmitted through physical space, your spirit or soul energy travels between you and the world. Your heart is a conduit for this energy, which means that you need to love yourself and accept your soul for who it truly is. You also need to clear out the negative energies that hold you back. To do this, you can go on self-dates and learn to appreciate your qualities.
