The Energetics of Yes and No

ENERGETICS OF "YES" AND "NO"

The energetics of the words Yes and No play an enormous role in our lives. Our understanding of these commonly used words deepens our ability to use them correctly and with personal integrity.

They are some of the simplest and most commonly misused words in the English language. "No" is one of the first words we learn as toddlers because of the instant effect it has on the adults around us. It defines our ability to make decisions for ourselves, and gives us a way to express out individual tastes and feelings about a situation. As we grow older, if our honest expression is not well received, it often becomes more difficult to say "no" with the conviction of a two year old.

This is a problem because if we are unable to express honestly what we feel, the collision of energies between Yes and No gets caught in our bodies. When our actions are not congruent with what we feel, our Central Vertical Current (see chapters "Between Heaven and Earth" and "Hara Line") becomes collapsed, moves off centre, turns inward on itself and causes compression in our chakras, energy bodies and physical tissues. Our reluctance to stand up for ourselves becomes the imprint for future mental confusion, emotional self-doubt and spiritual chaos. If left alone for years, it can pull our focus of intention further and further off centre until we may feel we have left ourselves behind somehow without knowing when or why. This makes it very difficult to manifest intended outcomes in life and can lead to hopelessness. It can also add energetic charge to present and future conflict. Using "Yes" and "No" and their energies properly is fundamental for the creation of healthy, strong and flexible boundaries.



"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler."

-Albert Einstein


In turn, saying Yes when we mean Yes and vice versa simplifies our lives and our energies. If it is not possible to say either given the proposition or our emotional state at the time, it is always better to say neither. As adults, the situations we face are increasingly complicated and so sometimes it is better to say both Yes and No to different parts of a situation. For example, "yes I agree, this needs to happen but I don't like the way it is being suggested."

The following exercises are simple and profound. They can help us tune into a clear signal within ourselves about what it means for us to invite the energy of these words. Practicing them will exercise your Emotional body and increase your awareness of your instinctual feelings, allowing you to stay connected to them during difficult and triggering situations. By exercising your Emotional body, you are also exercising other levels of the aura.
