"Let me tell you a story. It is actually an experiment that was conducted at the University of Chicago.
A young, healthy and intelligent man wakes up and gets ready to go to work. His wife looks at him and tells, 'You are looking tired, are you feeling okah?'
He feels irritated by her comment and tells her to stop imagining things and leaves to work. As he takes his car out of the garage, his neighbor is watching him and shouts out, 'Are you feeling well? You look out of sorts!'
The man is surprised this time, but tells him that he is alright and drives out. He reaches his office, and as he walks in, the receptionist looks at him with concern and says, 'Sir, you look ill! Why did you come to work?' The man replies, 'Well, I think I'm fine. Let's see...' And he goes into his office.
He starts working and a colleague enters and exclaims, 'Hey! You look awful. What's the matter? Do you have a fever or something?'
Now, this is too much for the man. He begins to feel uneasy and sick. Just then his boss calls him and he goes in. The boss takes one look at him and says, 'You look realy unwell. Are you sure you can carry on today? Why don't you go and see a doctor?'
The young man has had enough. He feels he is actually ill now, and decides to go home.
As he drives home, he feels his temperature rising. When he reaches home, his wife is surprised to see him back. She reaches out and touches his forehead and finds that he has a temperature!
He developed a high temperature!
This experiment was conducted on 11 people and all the 11 people fell sick at the end of it!
Understand, this is what happens when you are not centered in your own inner energy. You will move from a high to a low because of outer influences.
Once you have found your center, that is your being, you are able to go back to it consciously to get rejuvenated. All of your inner strengths start unfolding and you begin to develop courage, energy, stamina, confidence and leadership qualities. Your work ability takes a quantum leap. You become your own source of energy and popular as well, because you are an energizing personality!"
Darwin's Perspective - When we recognize that we are truly collections of energy and that our every interaction with another person or object is an exchange of energy, we can begin to understand the symbiotic relationship we have with one another.
All of the customs, rules and norms that our society has established are convenient methods for control but the simple truth remains that our Bodies, Spirits and Minds are rarely able to be confined into such restrictive boundaries. Thus we have frustrations, anxiety, ailments and struggles as our energetic beings attempt to exist within these confines. Every so often we break free and connect regardless of such bounds only to return on Monday morning in an attempt to conform and fit in.
But we can live happy, responsible lives within society and still be true to our energetic nature. We must first recognize that our every interaction establishes a string-like connection to that person that we will retain forever. Our connections to others will either drain us or fuel us. And so too we will either drain or energize the people we are connected to. Our symbiotic relationships with one another span the boundaries of time and space despite our logical minds telling us that we have no connection to our past actions.
From your childhood playground interactions to today's morning commute, you are connected to every person with which you've interacted. And when you maintain your center in this cosmic array of connections, energy ebbs and flows in between like waves rolling onto the beach. The key is to find your balance, your center and maintain that position within this active connection you have to everything
