Infinite Energy?

Unique Perspectives: Infinite Energy?

By Kim Stevens

Infinite energy? Yes please.

I’m re-reading The Untethered Soul right now — and wow. The chapters lighting me up are Infinite Energy and The Secrets of the Spiritual Heart.

It’s funny, because lately I’ve been really tuning into my heart chakra — working with it, concentrating on it, allowing it to open more and more. There’s a difference between mentally trying and energetically letting go. I keep feeling this nudge to soften, expand, and trust the heart space instead of tightening or protecting it.

And it brought me right back to something I’ve shared before: that while we’re forming in the womb, it’s the heart that shows up first. The heart carries the original intelligence. Long before the brain develops, it’s the heart that begins beating, signaling, leading, guiding.

So of course it makes sense that when our hearts are open, we feel like we’re plugged into the power source of the Universe. Because we are.

Have you ever noticed that when your heart is wide open — really open — suddenly you have more energy than seems humanly possible?

The Untethered Soul puts it perfectly: when we stop resisting life, we gain access to infinite energy. We don’t lose energy because life is hard. We lose it because we contract, defend, brace, resist.

Michael Singer says that we close our hearts for two reasons — clinging or resisting. We cling to what we want more of. We resist what we fear or don’t like.

Both of those reactions close the heart. Both of those reactions block energy.

Openness fuels us. Resistance drains us. Simple. Life-changing. Infinitely harder to practice than to understand. But when we do practice? Oh, the magic.

So if you’ve ever felt like your heart knows before your head does… you’re right.

And if you’ve ever felt more alive when you’re in love, in joy, in presence… you’re right again!

It isn’t life that tires us, it’s the tension of holding on and pushing back. But when we allow experiences to pass through us instead of grabbing or pushing away… when we don’t clutch or contract, the heart stays open, energy flows… and we rise.
