There are all kinds of things that can influence your energy levels from chronic stress, to out of control emotions, and external factors such as electromagnetic radiation – just to name a few. But, there are also things you can do about it. Sometimes, if you find yourself chronically low on energy it helps to take a serious look at lifestyle changes you could make. One of the biggest problems for a lot of people is that they feel powerless to change their circumstances. This leads to frustration and greater stress.
There are “energy tools” that can help with this situation and strategies you can use to help you take control of your life. Meditation helps a lot of people to deal with stress. It is both a tool and a strategy because it involves a long term commitment if you want to reap its full benefits. But the commitment itself can be the first step in taking control of your life. The practice of meditation just means taking a step back from your everyday life and giving yourself a little time to be still, in mind and body – it takes practice but the practice itself is the first reward!

If you search the internet you won’t find anything called a sub-quark. There is lots of information to be found about quarks – “an elementary particle and a fundamental constituent of matter”. There are suggestions here and there about the existence of sub-quarks that might make up quarks but there is no scientific experimental confirmation of this.
However, if you keep digging you will find that there is information out there about the smaller particle, the sub-quarks that make up the quarks. These particles were identified using extrasensory perception by three amazing people who were trained in the late 1800’s to observe the process of the creation of physical atoms by an Indian Yogi. It could all be dismissed as so much metaphysical hyperbole except for the fact that many, many of their observations have actually been proven to be scientifically accurate. Among their achievements – they described the existence of periodic table elements with their correct atomic weights years before they were discovered by science. However, what is most interesting to me is that the human mind can be trained to observe realms of reality that are normally the exclusive territory of particle physicists!

Look up energy infusing on the web and a lot of information comes up about energy infusing technologies and what they can do. There are all kinds of technologies out there that use different forms of energy to enhance the qualities of products. Some companies are really just talking about the natural energies inherent in substances such as herbs, essential oils, rare minerals and gemstones, as many natural substances have beneficial properties. Their value is being rediscovered today as people become more and more uneasy with the chemicals and pharmaceuticals so prevalent on the market.
Information about actual energy infusing technologies is a little harder to understand as it frequently ventures off the beaten track into discussions of different kinds of energy that are generally not recognized by the scientific community. Product claims are hard to substantiate leaving it to consumers to figure it out for themselves. There is no doubt that there are other energies in the cosmos than electromagnetic energy even if we cannot measure them. These new technologies claim to be tapping into some of these other energies – how they do it is a closely kept secret. Time will tell!

The term ‘the fifth force’ sounds like something out of Star Wars but interestingly enough the idea has been around for a long time. In Plato’s time they called it the fifth element, aether, or quintessence (the Latin word for fifth element). What these words actually referred to was the concept of an invisible immeasurable substance that occupies every point in Space, including within material bodies.
Today there is a body of scientific evidence accumulating that is motivating scientists to bring these old terms out of the closet, dust them off and polish them up for future use. The discovery of dark energy, in the late 1990’s, threw a huge monkey wrench into the gears of what we thought we knew about just about everything. Suddenly these old ideas are taking on a new life. There are scientists who think that the fifth force, though not directly measurable with modern scientific equipment will prove to be another fundamental force along with the other four fundamental forces currently known to modern science: the strong, the weak, the electromagnetic and the gravitational forces. This could help make sense of some of the big questions that have been raised by the discovery of dark energy.

Things like dark matter and dark energy are not much of a concern to most of us living our lives here on Earth. What does it have to do with us?
According to Wikipedia: “Dark matter was postulated by Fritz Zwicky in 1934 to account for evidence of “missing mass” in the orbital velocities of galaxies in clusters. Subsequently, other observations have indicated the presence of dark matter in the universe. … As important as dark matter is believed to be in the cosmos, direct evidence of its existence and a concrete understanding of its nature have remained elusive”.
That’s why they call it dark…seriously.
The funny thing is that whenever scientists talk about dark matter and dark energy they forget to note one very important thing – at least where it concerns you and me. Dark matter and dark energy are not just something OUT THERE, in the universe…they also are RIGHT HERE…in us and all around us! That brings things a little closer to home. So what is it? We are talking about something that exists but cannot be measured…yet. But when you think about it there are a lot of things that fall into this category.

Since the dawn of mankind, human beings looking up into the immensity of the universe have been moved to ask all the big questions – who are we… how did we get here… what is the meaning of life… and what happens next? And down through the ages they have come up with a lot of different answers to these questions that have formed the basis of all the religions and philosophies there are on earth.
There is also a scientific side to this inquiry about the structure of the universe – with all kinds of theories and some facts about what is out there in the universe and what it means to us. Since the invention of the Hubble Telescope we have made huge strides in understanding the nature of this vast space in which our whirling planet is an almost infinitesimally small speck. But even with all our modern scientific measuring equipment brought to bear on this job, it is a fact that all we can account for so far explains only 4% of the whole! It all seems to get more mysterious the more we realize what we don’t yet know.

You hear a lot of people talking about paradigm shifts these days. Sometimes I think people are talking it up because we sure could use one. Yeah! Let’s have a paradigm shift before we drive our species to extinction! As the world becomes smaller and smaller with the population growing at a steadily increasing rate and technological changes coming at us at a dizzying velocity, it is important that the evolution of human consciousness keeps pace. We don’t want to wake up some day and find ourselves living in an alien futuristic type nightmare. There are certainly a lot of movies being made about just such a possibility. Some imaginations are hard at work peering into the future.
A real paradigm shift would likely have many different faces. Right now you can see it coming in the fields of science and medicine and even in the realm of human consciousness. Around the planet there are a lot of people working together to raise awareness about what it could mean for all of us if more people have a greater appreciation for and understanding of the power of human consciousness to change what is happening here on Earth, today.

To those unfamiliar with all the terms used in the world of complementary and alternative medicine the term ‘holistic remedies’ my just be part of the blur. Actually holism, as a concept, extends into all branches of science and philosophy. It is the idea that the properties of any given system cannot not be understood by an examination of its component parts in isolation. When you are talking about health it generally refers to the practice of viewing the organism as a whole, i.e., we are more than a collection of parts. There are many factors that influence our health including physiological, psychological, environmental, social and spiritual.
A return to holistic thinking and the use of holistic remedies to address our physical and psychological conditions is, without a doubt, a step in the right direction. In these times it is becoming increasingly obvious that we are all part of one very interconnected world. What happens here – affects life over there. Remember Fukushima! It is no different in the human body – it is a complex, intricate network of biological systems that include chemicals, electrical impulses and an amazing consciousness that is hardwired into the whole unit!

There are a lot of energy medicine technologies hitting the market these days. If you remember the Star Trek series, Beverly Crusher, the doctor on board the Enterprise had her own energy medicine technology called the Tricorder. This was a wand type device that could assess, diagnose and even repair damage to the system. There are actually quite a few real life Tricorder type devices out today. They are a little less dramatic in effect than the Tricorder but still a great example of art or entertainment predicting the future of science. The devices on the market today come in a wide range of types and applications. Some use laser light or sound waves, others use magnets and some are electromagnetic technologies with acronyms like GDV and EAV.
As our technologies evolve at nearly the speed of light we can only hope that our understanding of the complex and subtle nature of life can keep pace. These days we could use an energy medicine technology with the power of the Tricorder! We could make good use of a device that utilizes subtle energies to balance and revitalize human systems damaged by the chemical and environmental pollution we live with today.

The field of quantum physics may soon see an extreme makeover. Not that anything changes very fast when you are talking about scientific theories. But there’s nothing like new discoveries to make everyone sit up and take notice! The confirmation of the existence of dark energy in the late 1990’s means that a whole new theory is going to have to be developed to explain what is going on. Evidence is coming in from all branches of science declaring that the old paradigms just don’t fit the facts anymore.
For most of us, quantum physics theories explain phenomena we can hardly grasp with the mind. Quantum physicists have been talking about superstring theories and a universe with ten dimensions for a long time already and most of us are none the wiser! Now, things are about to get a whole lot more complicated. So what does this mean for our lives? Actually it means a lot but not in the language of modern quantum physics. The more we can understand the nature of our reality the better – but we need to look in other directions to find it in a language we can understand.
