I love how similar the words woo-woo and woo-hoo are, and if you’ll indulge me this argument for their true connectedness, you’ll see it’s not just spelling that makes them similar….
To clarify as we begin, woo-woo is defined by Miriam Webster as “dubiously or outlandishly mystical, supernatural, or unscientific.” Concepts or ideas with this designation are easily dismissed not only by traditional scientists, but by many people who put stock only in what their physical senses can report and verify. Yet there is another realm in existence, an energetic realm that gives rise to the very ‘concrete’ world those physical senses observe.
Quantum physics tells us that everything is energy, and energy is everything. You don’t have to be a physicist to know that energy vibrates; it’s always moving, never static. This energetic field is the “vibrational soup” from which things and circumstances arise. When we understand this, even at a cursory level, we begin to understand several things which change how we show up in Life:
- We can become aware of our energy by tuning in to how we feel because that’s our measuring stick. Are we lighthearted and open? Or are we cynical and closed to possibilities and people? (Step 1 in developing awareness)
- It is not difficult to change our energy, all we have to do is choose better thoughts in small steps. It isn’t possible to go from depressed to euphoric in one leap of thought, but we can take baby steps in choosing the most positive thought available to us in that moment. The more we practice that, the easier it gets.
- Notice how circumstances around you change when you consciously change your energy from a low vibration to a higher one. This is the point where the woo-woo morphs into woo-hoo!! This is the sweet spot, and why I named my life coaching practice Conscious Creating, because this is where fundamental change happens; when how we experience life goes to a new, empowering level!
A word of caution here: once understood, it can be tempting to try to manipulate people and circumstances to bend to our desires with our attention to energy, but that will backfire. All that is required for meaningful change is to become aware of your energetic field, your vibration, and tend to it consciously as best you can. In this space, you are as powerful as you ever need be.
The truth is we are still human, we still have bad days and dull, sullen moods, and that’s okay, totally okay. It’s all part of our journey. However, when we are ready and able to tend to our energy, it is good to know that we can consciously choose to raise our energetic field and attract and create the Life we yearn to live.
The ideas I’ve shared here are exciting but just the tip of the iceberg of conscious creating. If you would like to explore this further, or see how you can apply this in your life, just click the link here (Life Coaching) to set up a coaching session and move from woo-woo to woohoo!
