Energy. How does one’s energy affect those they come in contact with and, in turn, themselves?

Have you ever had someone pass behind you and without even looking at them get that creeped out feeling, the one that tells you to take at least two steps away? Or how about the person you’ve never met before but have seen from across a crowed room and instantly are drawn to? Energy, that’s what’s at play with both of these scenarios.

The one that left you with a creeped out feeling is from your picking up on some funky energy they have. Could be they’re in a bad mood, super depressed or the kind of person you wouldn’t want to meet in a dark alley, much less a well-lit public space. But whatever the cause, they are projecting, either knowingly or unknowingly, the funk their mind is in.

Conversely, when you see a complete stranger who you’re instantly drawn to, even before having spoken to them, that’s your equal exchange of energy meeting up and saying, hey, there’s someone I think I’d get along with. Some call this chemistry. I’m inclined to agree.

The kind of energy a person emits denotes how they will then be received. If, for example, they walk around with a scowl on their face or carry themselves in a get-the-heck-away-from-me body posturing, then they’ll get just that, folks giving them a wide berth, not wanting to be affected by their negative energy. In comparison, when someone walks around with the-sky’s-the-limit attitude, they tend to emit a more welcoming vibe that others absorb and act upon.

This isn’t to say that we shouldn’t allow ourselves the latitude to experience things as they affect us. We should. But we need to be aware that how those things affect us will cause us to emit certain energy, positive or negative, that others will act upon accordingly. Knowing this can help us avoid awkward situations or ones where we unwittingly draw others into our funk. Likewise, we gain peace of mind, knowing that by engaging with others without wearing our baggage or bad vibes on our sleeves will cause them to want to be near us rather than flee when they see us coming.

It all comes down to energy.
