“The thing about energy is it is so subtle” — yes. This landed deeply.
As someone who has practiced and taught Reiki for many years, I appreciate how you describe energy without turning it into something abstract or performative.
Sometimes it is simply the quiet information of the body, the nervous system, and the heart telling us where we feel safe enough to open again.
Your reflection on confidence after such a vulnerable chapter feels very real. I especially appreciated the distinction between closing to protect ourselves and slowly learning how to open with discernment.
I'm not in the dating world these days, Wade, but I still see the application of this wisdom in how I show up in my daily life. Am I projecting the energy with which I want to be met? That's a great centering question before entering into any engagement with others. Notice our energy. Choose what we want to be feeling, and shift it if it's not what we want to experience in the situation.
Glad to hear it resonates @Kathy Oneto. Thanks for your comment! Love your frame of using it as a centering question before an engagment. In my experience, we can choose how we we want to feel AND honor what we are feeling in the present because fake positivity doesn’t serve anyone. The practice also becomes can we make space for the full spectrum and still choose.
