In our “normal” state of consciousness we perceive ourselves as separate from everything. However, in truth we are connected to everyone and everything.
Feeling separate we think that we can deceive others, saying one thing and thinking or doing another. We are not being authentic or ”real.”
The sense of separation also makes us feel lonely, unless we have intimate companionship.
As we progress spiritually we can feel energetic connections with all forms of life, and the sense of isolation disappears. There are practices that we can do to become better attuned to these energetic connections.
All living things have energetic fields, as do we, and if we are attuned we can feel another’s energy. If we have developed powers of concentration, we can direct our focused mental energy to the energy of another living thing.
I suggest trying this exercise with a plant that is meaningful to you, perhaps a tree. While standing, place your hands on the tree, talk to it and ask to feel its energy. Ask it to heal you if you feel the need.
As we become more attuned to these energetic fields, we also become more aware of who we are, as our true nature is nothing more than energy.
