The other day I was
half-listening to a trivia event taking place at my local market, and heard the
announcer say, "Ohm is a unit of electrical resistance."
Hm. That's 180 degrees
from its sound-alike sister, the meditation mantra "Om".
Are you in resistance
— or resilience?
Master consciousness
teacher Jim Self has often said, "Thoughts are electrical and emotions are
magnetic." He explains how this affects our
behavior: "When a thought is coupled with an emotion, the combined
energies become charged electro-magnetically, amplified and set in motion. If
your reaction (emotion) to a thought is strong, the charge behind it increases.
If your reaction is negative it may result in an angry outburst (discharge of
emotion) or you may react by becoming offended, allowing that emotional energy
to build inside of you."
Interesting,
isn't it? We can be ohm or om, depending on how we choose to think and feel. I
used to be the Queen of Resistance, until I grew bored
senseless with the energy it took to fight or flee. Meditation was still many
years in my future, though I did start learning to let go, adapt, allow. And
what tremendous freedom this unleashes within us.
When
we take that electrical energy and marry it to healing feelings, it magnetizes
magic. We become magnetic to our good, drawing in all manner of people and
possibility in order to serve our highest intention. Making the change does
require time and energy — but it's electrifying and calming at the same time.
Try
it. Ommmmm…..
