Chapter 7.11 Positive Energy Transfer

Positive Energy Transfer

“Magnetism is one of the Six Fundamental Forces of the Universe, with the other five being Gravity, Duct Tape, Whining, Remote Control, and The Force That Pulls Dogs Toward The Groins Of Strangers.”

Dave Barry    Columnist/ Author

Human magnetism.  Some people attract, some repel.  Sure some of it is visual, but it is hard to have a repelling aura if you are filled with positive energy. If you are happy with yourself, and you walk upbeat with a genuine smile on your face, you will have a better chance at being one who attracts. With that mindset alone, you will have enough positive energy to dish some out.

“The person who sends out the most positive thoughts activates the world around him positively and draws back to himself positive results.”

Norman Vincent Peale (1898-1993)    Writer and Clergyman

Positive energy can be passed on in many different ways, some more obvious than others. We have already discussed the positive benefits that can be transferred to others by practicing Compassion, Generosity, and the Golden Rule. We have pondered on how Touching Others and a genuine Smile can affect other people.  We even may believe that through Meditation, Prayer, and Intention we can send positive energy to/for others.

The use of physical touch is another way of transferring positive energy to another person. Physical touch, like an embrace or holding a person’s hand, can provide a more concentrated energy.

“There are some people who have the quality of richness and joy in them and they communicate it to everything they touch. It is first of all a physical quality; then it is a quality of the spirit.”

Thomas Wolfe (1900-1938)     American Novelist

A good, genuine hug has an amazing calming affect … it can make you feel like you are connecting to the commonality of all mankind.  The stress, the grief, the chaos of a person in need can often be partially defused with the positive energy passed on from one to another through touch.  (I’m going qualify this a bit for the over-zealous: You should know the person. You can’t go around hugging people you don’t know even if they look like they are down.  Your positive energy could end up behind bars.  Use silent smile packets to brighten them up a bit.)

I have found that this physical contact to transfer calming or positive energy has two requirements.  First it has to be held for a while, so that both people can adjust to the same wavelengths, relax, and open up their receptors.  Second, the giver can increase the effect of the contact by consciously trying to pass on positive energy to the other person.  The receiver can also enhance the healing transfer by visualizing it in their own mind. The mind and the body are amazing resources when we let them go. Close your eyes and you too can see.

Recently, more greetings involve a quick hug.  A hug goes beyond a handshake. The hug demonstrates that we have met before, that we are good friends, or that we are receptive to knowing each other better. When showing up at a function these days, it seems that everybody has to hug everyone else … kind of the same confusion as clinking everybody’s glass at a toast.  Girls hug girls, girls hug guys, guys hug guys.  This last encounter is often a bit comical though … a hug where the hands reach the backs but nothing else touches.  For most guys, a handshake and a pat on the back usually seems the better option.

“Men greet each other with a sock on the arm, women with a hug, and the hug wears better in the long run.”

Edward Hoagland      American Author

These little hugs are small packets of positive energy, but patting someone’s back like you would good ole Ruff is merely cordial (and sometimes a bit annoying.)  Touching to blend the energy of two people has to be held for some time period (maybe five seconds at least?) and the receiver must be willing to accept the energy and support that you offer.  The longer the hold, the longer the recalibration of energy has to reset itself.  Don’t get too weird though … know when to let go.

“Hold a true friend with both hands.”

African Proverb

Touching someone, like holding hands or holding a touch, can also project trust.  Once a cat or a dog or a horse allows you to touch them, to feel your energy, they gain a familiarity (assuming you still have all of your fingers) and they become your friends.

My wife tends to carry a lot of stress in her back … her muscles tighten up and knot.  As the masseuse of most convenience, I have learned some methods to rub out these knots, relieving them so that they are somewhat able to  relax.

But since I have become aware of  energy transferrance, I find that I do better by holding pressure on certain spots for five or ten seconds or longer. A touch can be like a magnet if it is held long enough to maintain solid contact.  The trick is to slow down and feel energy passing on to the other person, like putting a warm hand onto another’s cold hand to warm it up. You have to focus on generating and exchanging the energy.

Maybe this contact is just warmth (positive energy has got to be warm!) Actually rubbing the other person can create warmth, but it does not have as lasting an effect as finding the one spot in need and maintaining contact.  Rubbing may open the ports, but holding the touch gives a short infusion of healing energy that aids the relaxation of the total area.

“Misdirected life force is the activity in disease process. Disease has no energy save what it borrows from the life of the organism. It is by adjusting the life force that healing must be brought about …”

Kabbalah, Mystical Judaism Discipline

I’ll be the first to tell you that I’m no healer.  My wife’s back stress keeps coming back (or does it? …. Is this just a ploy, like the child that continues to believe in Santa Claus so that the toys don’t stop?)  Giving some positive energy in packets or via major contact downloads is still temporary at best, but these transfers can prime the other person’s pump so that they can start generating more positive energy of their own, to help to heal themselves.

“Natural forces within us are the true healers of disease.”

Hippocrates (460 BC – 377 BC) Ancient Greek Physician, the Father of Medicine

Hmmm … before Big Pharma got us to believe differently.
