“The sensation of energy expands with increasing relaxation.”
“Being aware of who you are, you will ensure that you do not waste your time spending energy on unnecessary things”
“I mean, if the relationship can t survive the long term, why on earth would it be worth my time and energy for the short term?”
“If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.”
“We are all connected; To each other, biologically. To the earth, chemically. To the rest of the universe atomically.”
“I define connection as the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgment; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship.”
“I am somewhat exhausted; I wonder how a battery feels when it pours electricity into a non-conductor?”
“It takes as much energy to wish as it does to plan.”
“If you took one-tenth the energy you put into complaining and applied it to solving the problem, you d be surprised by how well things can work out... Complaining does not work as a strategy. We all have finite time and energy. Any time we spend whining is unlikely to help us achieve our goals. And it won t make us happier.”
“When love first happens, the individuals are giving each other energy unconsciously and both people feel buoyant and elated. That s the incredible high we call being ‘in love.’ Unfortunately, once they expect this feeling to come from another person, they cut themselves off from the energy in the universe and begin to rely even more on the energy from each other--only now there doesn’t seem to be enough and so they stop giving each other energy and fall back into their dramas in an attempt to control each other and force the other’s energy their way.”
“You may not feel outstandingly robust, but if you are an average-sized adult you will contain within your modest frame no less than 7 X 10^18 joules of potential energy—enough to explode with the force of thirty very large hydrogen bombs, assuming you knew how to liberate it and really wished to make a point.”
“...When you die, the energy that kept you alive filters into the people you loved. Did you know that? It s like a fire you ve tended all your life, and the sparks are all scattered into the wind.... That s why we survive as long as we do, because the people who loved us keep us going.”
“When we dislike someone, or feel threatened by someone, the natural tendency is to focus on something we dislike about the person, something that irritates us. Unfortunately, when we do this--instead of seeing the deeper beauty of the person and giving them energy--we take energy away and actually do them harm. All they know is that they suddenly feel less beautiful and less confident, and it is because we sapped their energy.”
“I don’t care how intelligent or attractive someone is, if he zaps your energy, he isn’t for you. True chemistry is more than intellectual compatibility. Beyond surfaces, you must be intuitively at ease.”
“Energy is liberated matter, matter is energy waiting to happen.”
“We humans have always sought to increase our personal energy in the only manner we have known, by seeking to psychologically steal it from the others--an unconscious competition that underlies all human conflict in the world.”
“I m starting to believe that happily ever after includes people doing things that upset each other. We all get cranky, or impatient, or worried, or careless enough to do or say things that hurt someone else. Like it or not, that s normal. We can t blame it all on Olympia s bad energy. The important part is that we feel sorry about what we ve done and make up for it. That s something Olympia never did.”
