In many cultures they have a concept of spiritual energy. They call it many different names: Nwyfre, Wyrd, Chakra, Ki, Chi. Even the ancient Alchemists and philosophers spoke of the spiritual and magical energies that glowed throughout all living and nonliving things.
We are intricately connected and interwoven with this energy – flowing from the divine nature of our own souls and connecting to the living world around us. We are often not aware of the energy around us, at least not consciously. As we develop our understanding and practice engaging with this energy, we are able to see and feel it in the way we see and feel the wind or a breeze, flowers and trees blossoming around us as they reach their potential.
We are much the same with our energy when we try to reach our potential. By putting ourselves in situations where we are surrounded by people who are also working with being better versions of themselves, we are able to truly blossom. Find people who want to see us reach our own potential. Find strength and increase your potential in the same way as the trees and flowers around us that strive for their potential with each strong wind that tries to push them down.
A positive atmosphere for example is training in a dojo. We are surrounded by people who want their best; who also want us to achieve our best. And when the energy of our fellow classmates intermingles with our own energy, we can all share in the forces that push us to our greatest heights. The forces which allow us to blossom to our full potential.
