How you can increase your awareness of the energy you communicate.
Becoming a better communicator is an art in itself and encompasses so many aspects that it is impossible to cover the whole topic in one article. So first we would like to bring your attention to the huge role that energy plays in communication. Being aware of energy in your communication opens up enormous potential for you to create much better, more effective, and most of all, more loving relationships.
We are all aware of ‘non-verbal communication’ such as the hand gestures, tone of voice and posture that accompany what we say to other people. Many of us also have a sense of what is going on ‘underneath the words’ in our relationships and might express it in terms of good or bad ‘vibes’ (for example: “there was a really bad vibe at that dinner party last night”).
However, it’s not always so easy to put your finger on what exactly is going on or why things happen the way they happen, especially when you wonder why things ‘went wrong’ and took a turn that you didn’t expect or that made you feel really uncomfortable.
And, while you might even be able to feel the ‘vibes’ underneath what another person says, you probably are not fully aware of what your own ‘vibes’ are doing when you are speaking.
There is so much going on in the subtle world of energy
As an illustration, think now about how you would say hello to your boss or a colleague and then compare that to how you would say exactly the same thing to your lover.
These totally different environments (work and home) and how you feel about the person you are saying hello to completely change how you say exactly the same word. So it’s the energy (or the vibes), that comes with the hello that makes all the difference.
Through learning about ‘energy patterns’ we begin to understand why things happen the way they did in our relationships: we become aware of the energy that is constantly moving while we speak with each other. This energy is really the ‘vibes’ that underlie what you say and make all the difference in how what you say is perceived and how your conversation will continue!
Once we become more aware of what is going on energetically during a conversation, we are able to change when it’s not going so well. It also allows us to put ourselves in a better energetic state in the first place and enjoy a much better conversation from the start.
Now, before you can learn how to use the energies you carry and transmit more skillfully, you first need to become more aware of them. Once you are more aware of what’s going on (and what you send out), then you can use your energy better, and reap the rewards of improved and effective communication and relationships.
