The Language of Energy: 101
The process of learning a language has distinct phases. The first step is learning basic vocabulary. We tend to learn common words and those most meaningful to our current life situations. Once we have a shared vocabulary, we begin to learn how to put it together. Learning the culture and tradition of a language enriches this process as we develop a sense of context and nuance. Language, culture, and tradition exist in relationship with each other, so having a shared, contextual understanding of language informs meaning, creating an affinity between speaker and listener. Fluency occurs when a person can speak, understand, read, write, and dream with ease in that language, a fully integrated experience.
Since vocabulary is the doorway into a new language, we begin by defining energy and using it in a sentence or two, to give context to the meaning. We will also show how people use the language of energy frequently and already have a sense of knowing about it.
Vocabulary List
Energy: also called subtle energy, the animating life force within all living things or beings
Energy body: the human biofield, the field of subtle energy that exists within and around the physical body
Flow State: a state of being characterized by energized focus, calm, a sense of presence and total engagement
Energetic Intelligence: fluency in the language of subtle energy, proficiency in caring for one’s energy body, the ability to identify and access various states of being, flow states
Energy is the animating force of life. It exists within and around us, affecting how we think, feel and act. Physicists are studying it, although you do not have to be a scientist to learn it and it's not as mysterious as it sounds. Intuitively, we know energy, express it, and tend to it. Consider the “vibe check” or “reading the room.” We all do it. But what exactly are we checking or reading when we assess the vibe of an interaction, a situation or a space? We are tuning into the subtle cues, acknowledging things we inherently know without having to process them cognitively or emotionally. “The vibe” is subtle energy and we believe that it’s time for a paradigm shift in how we talk about it and work with it.
Connecting what you already intuitively know of energy with this shared language and developing skills to purposefully work with your own energy as well as the ubiquitous energy around you empowers you to have an integrated experience that propels you toward fluency.
Energetic Intelligence develops with fluency, care and skill. It is the next frontier of personal empowerment and human development. It compliments what we are already familiar with related to cognitive intelligence, our ability to think and reason and emotional intelligence, our ability to identify and manage emotions and feelings
At 4th Wheel Flow, we are ready to guide you as you develop Energetic Intelligence which we have found supports perspective-taking, fosters responsiveness rather than reactivity, encourages curiosity, and creativity to enhance problem-solving. Imagine the personal, interpersonal, and systemic impact Energetic Intelligence could have for you in your personal and in your professional life. Moving from the micro to the macro level, changing our responses to both our own energy and the energy around us influences every relationship from our relationship with ourselves, to relationships with other people, and systems in which we participate. When inputs to the system change, the system is primed to shift.
4th Wheel Wheel Flow is ready to support this shift to Energetic Intelligence and introduce you to this next level intelligence. Reach out for a vibe check. engage@4thwheelflow.com.
