This is a revised 2nd Edition, New Edition 2018! We were born with an energetic resource that exists at the very core of our being as the bright, intrinsic, luminous essence of who we are. We have access to this energy at any time. It's our own built-in power cord plugged in to the circuit of universal life force. This book explores the nature of this energy, referred to as spiritual energy, as well as an energy we are more familiar with: our human energy. The Energy of Being takes a unique perspective on spiritual energy by approaching it from a metaphysical perspective rather than through the lens of a philosophical or religious belief system. This book invites you to explore how our human and spiritual natures are woven together and their equal importance in our lives. The value of accessing this energy internally is examined so that we can learn to express it externally, in our daily lives. In modern times it is important to find ways for us to unite rather than be split apart. This book offers an opportunity to look within so we can become aware of intrinsic life-force energy that can improve our relationships on an individual and collective level.
