Everyone gives off energy. It is either positive or negative. I have never been able to actually see energy but I have learned to recognize it. It is an essential skill for a trained martial artist. Once this awareness is developed, you will always possess it. In many ways it is a curse. Many people emit negative energy. Whether it is in a relationship, a life-threatening situation or sitting around the boardroom table – we have all experienced this.
There is no magic in learning this skill. When you first meet someone, ask yourself the question: what energy vibe am I getting? Your first instinct is usually correct. Negative energy will always be near by. Learn to be aware of this fact.
Learn also to avoid having your energy drained away. A person with positive energy can also be someone who drains your energy. Regardless of good intentions, sometimes the chemistry is just not there.
The trick is to recognize those who emit positive energy which reinforces your own. Surround yourself with them. Enjoy your time rather than waste it. It is amazing how much happier your life can be.
