When people try to understand what I do, they often ask, “Is it energy healing?” The term “energy” carries different meanings for different people. Many view our three-dimensional reality as purely physical, yet everything is fundamentally energy. If you accept atomic theory, you know that everything consists of atoms bound by electromagnetic forces. Physicists tell us we never actually touch anything—at the atomic level, when we press against a table or another person, we’re experiencing electromagnetic forces repelling each other. Everything is energy, though we rarely perceive it this way in daily life.
When you lack energy, it’s easy to underestimate its full impact on your life. Media tells us that low energy leads to workplace and road accidents. We learn it drives poor lifestyle choices, especially regarding diet and movement. Medical science links diabetes and other metabolic illnesses to these lifestyle decisions. You know you’re grumpier and less tolerant when running on empty—but this only scratches the surface of how low energy affects your existence.
To create anything, you first need energy. Every habit, thought, and action requires energy. Every new habit, new thought, or new action demands additional energy. Energy is the currency of your life.
You need energy for relationships. Energy to form new connections, sustain current ones, improve them, and sometimes end them. Without energy, relationships become stale and stuck, leaving you feeling imprisoned within them.
You need energy to make decisions, change circumstances, and grow. Energy to sustain changes and follow through on decisions. Energy to change your fortune, pack up and move houses, towns, provinces, or even countries. Without energy, you’re at the mercy of circumstances, without control over your outcomes. Without energy, even in good times—a great relationship or ideal vacation—you struggle to maintain it and revert to old patterns. Every habit, thought, and action requires energy.
The good news? You have all the energy you need to live the life you were always meant to live. However, while this energy is present, it’s not always available when or how you need it. When your body is bound and tight, when your spine is rigid and muscles contracted in defence against past circumstances, the energy you’d normally use to meet life’s challenges becomes locked up. The energy you might use to step up in relationships might be trapped as tension in your shoulders or spasms in your neck. You find yourself stuck in less-than-ideal situations, seemingly powerless to change direction.
At the Happy Spine, our focus is on helping you free this bound energy. As this energy becomes free to move again, you gain greater access to your natural reservoirs of vitality, resilience, and possibility. When your energy flows more freely, life becomes easier to engage with—and the changes you want to make become far more achievable.
