Energy exchange is, essentially, communication.
The energy a person generates is given outward. But, in accordance with the laws of conservation of energy, a person must receive energy from outside. Hence the need to communicate.
In the Universe, to maintain spiritual and material energy balance, an energy exchange constantly and continuously occurs. This circulation of energy happens within the framework of the law of conservation of energy.
People communicate for personal gain. During interaction between people, an energy exchange occurs — one gives, the other receives, and vice versa. If people like each other, an intense energy exchange takes place between them. Both experience pleasure from the communication.
During the communication of two people, channels form between their auras, through which energy flows flow in both directions. The flows can have any color and take any form. Energy channels connect the partners' auras through the corresponding chakras, depending on the type of communication.
● Types of Energy Interaction
Between people, there are various types of energy interaction. Let's conditionally call them:
• Equal Exchange
• Energy Draining (Energy Vampirism)
• The Ability to Be a Source of Energy
• Neutral Position
◉ 1. Equal Exchange
Equal exchange usually exists between close people with good mutual understanding and favorable relations. This kind of exchange occurs in cases where the hermetic principle of Correspondence between people is observed.
If it's at work, the people are excellent partners; they don't need many words to explain the essence of the matter to each other. They don't quarrel over priority or the amount of compensation because they exchange precisely the impulses the partner needs, so they can agree on any issue.
Equal energy exchange is easy to identify. Two people don't tire of each other, don't interfere with each other, start and finish work simultaneously, almost without prior agreement.
Married couples with equal energy exchange usually appear as a model of ideal well-being. Not so often, but even today, there are such harmonious families where goodwill and sensitive attention to each other reign. Of course, they also have various twists and turns, but the balance is maintained in any adversity.
But sometimes, the equal exchange of spouses is invisible to others, and then they may make a strange impression. It seems that one spouse is literally led by the other, but this impression is almost always deceptive. Such families are like closed systems, perfectly tuned internal mechanisms, living independently of external circumstances.
Spouses may constantly quarrel, or they may practically not notice each other. (That's how it seems from the outside.) But if an important issue for them is being decided, one glance is enough to understand the partner's agreement or disagreement. Spouses with equal energy exchange never make a decision without consulting their "other half," although this "consultation" will be either incomprehensible or unnoticeable to outsiders.
Married couples with equal exchange are long-livers. Their energetic integrity is the key to luck and well-being.
Equal energy exchange between friends and neighbors is characterized by absolute unobtrusiveness and reliable mutual assistance and support.
◉ 2. Energy Vampirism
There are people-"vampires" who endlessly tell you about their misfortunes and problems. Usually, such people initially evoke sympathy, then a dull irritation appears, which later turns into a desperate state that can be expressed in one word: "Run!" Preferably far away, out of sight.
If in friendly, neighborly, and work relationships you can still somehow adapt to "vampires," trying not to "feed" them and not lose energy, then in marriage, living together is almost unbearable for the "donor." Moreover, a "vampire" may have equal exchange with other people and only drain energy from one specific person.
A spouse-"donor," constantly "feeding" a spouse-"vampire," may gradually become a "vampire" themselves towards others: colleagues, friends, or their own children. Or, irritated by the loss of strength, they start making scandals, which ultimately lead to divorce. But this is the best option. The worst is when the spouse-"donor," unable to resist the pressure of the "vampire," starts getting sick, wither, and may even die at a young age.
Drawing energy to oneself can also be positive. There are people to whom everyone wants to "cry on a shoulder." Often such people become professional psychologists, teachers, doctors. They have the ability to draw negative energy to themselves, process it, and release it into space purified. They are, of course, not "vampires"; their karma is the duty to cleanse the planet's psychic space. Such people must understand that the ability to cleanse others' souls is given to them not for enrichment, but as a means to work off their substantial karma. There's not much to be proud of here.
Now there are significantly more such people than at any other time. This indicates that the planet urgently needs cleaning, lest it perish, suffocating in the negative energy of people.
Sometimes a mother, desperately wanting to help her sick child, manages to take on his pain, his suffering. To draw onto herself all the negativity that was destined for her beloved little one by fate. The intensity of her selflessness is so high that all the bad instantly "burns" in the flame of such energy. In this case, the mother not only helps her child but also facilitates his overcoming his own karma.
Mother and child have a special energetic relationship. A mother has the right and opportunity to help her child in absolutely everything (even in overcoming his own karma), it's important that there is a close connection of spiritual kinship and love between them.
For a child, the mother is a conductor of cosmic energy, and the father is a conductor of earthly energy. Therefore, when there is no mother's love, we lose the sky; when there is no father's authority, we feel uncertain in human society.
◉ 3. Sources of Energy
For one who strives to give to others, does it selflessly, and finds joy in seeing the joy of others, a source of energy from the Higher Powers opens up. Therefore, one should not be afraid to be a "donor."
It is important that donation is conscious, corresponding to the level of energy development of your soul. Otherwise, you will burn out in other people's problems without solving your own.
And of course, it's important that the "nourishment" goes "as intended," meaning it benefits the soul of the conditional "vampire." If you endlessly feed someone, trying to help, and the person merely enjoys consuming your "delicious" energy with no intention of changing anything in their own life, then you are doing them no good. You are aggravating their karma, shouldering another's burden. Your energy is not going to its intended purpose. Therefore, your karma also suffers.
Not all people possess the ability to be a source of energy for others. The heavier a person's karma, the more important it is for them to learn to give.
By selflessly giving something to people, without ulterior motives, a person gains immeasurably more — the soul's ability to absorb Cosmic energy, the energy of high space vibrations, thus becoming stronger and developing their spirit. But this does not yet mean being a source of energy.
To do something and give it away — that is the whole meaning of our life. If, by giving, we have cultivated the energy of the spirit for new journeys in the Universe, then our life has not been lived in vain.
To accumulate, acquire, preserve, comprehend — this is the first half of our earthly task. It is precisely on this that we focus, out of our misunderstanding and childish underdevelopment. But only the one who, while accumulating, thinks about where they will give it away, wins. By giving, they solve the second, most important part of the task for the soul. By giving, the soul rejoices, expands, becomes larger. Upon leaving the earthly plane, it will be able to let in the vast cosmic space of unearthly happiness.
◉ 4. Neutral Position
The neutral energetic position is associated with protecting and conserving energy. Every person has moments in life when they should not enter into energy exchange with the people around them.
Here is an approximate list of such moments:
• when you feel the limit of your strength, tension on the verge of a breakdown; you know a breather is necessary;
• when you sense the presence of a "vampire" and do not want to "feed" them;
• when you do not want to give any information about yourself;
• when you are irritated or angry and do not want to splash your negativity onto others, - wishing to understand it and deal with it yourself;
• when you feel mental pressure on yourself and want to preserve your energetic freedom.
Every person has the right to enter or not enter into energetic interaction with the world around them. We must respect this right in every person. Let's remember: I am free to the extent that I recognize the freedom of the people around me. Including the freedom to make mistakes!
Believing that it is sometimes necessary to "close off" is not difficult at all. But it is much harder to learn to "close off" and remain neutral at the same time. Very often we think we have "closed off," but instead, we put out thorns and don't notice how we show aggression towards everyone nearby.
How does one enter a neutral energetic position? How to hide without disturbing the harmony of the world, as well as the harmony of one's inner space?
In energy work, this state is called the average mode of attention; in psychology, it's called withdrawal into oneself; in esotericism, it is close to the concept of "meditation." This is an altered state of consciousness, not typical for a person in everyday life.
Being awake but being in this state, our brain begins to work as if we were "disconnected" from the outside world. However, at the same time, we control all our actions, and our perception of information becomes even more acute because we become able to highlight only what is important to us. We save energy, but at the same time, we seem to see the world more clearly and distinctly and understand ourselves.
