Let’s Talk About Energy! How To Feel It & What To Expect

Welcome to our Spiritual Psychology Support Group with Dr. Traci Moreno, Psychologist, and Pasquale Naccarata, Spiritual Coach. In this session, we talk about being able to connect and feel energy. Energy is the foundation of being able to further our spiritual growth. By learning to connect with our own energy it's easier to connect with other energy in the universe, as well as with our Angels, Spirit Guides, Loved ones who’ve crossed over, etc.

Follow us now to help, support & encourage each other on our spiritual & psychological journey. Traci and Pasquale talk about the parts of this journey that no one wants to talk about- the difficulties & the struggles. Supporting each other through these challenges is essential to our success.

Hi, This is Dr. Tracey. Hey, Squall. How's it going? So today I had a requested topic for you. I want to talk about energy because on my own spiritual journey, This was like a big kind of problem, Like a challenge that I had in feeling energy and everybody talks about energy and being able to feel it and what it is and what it feels like and I just could not feel it. I did not understand what I was supposed to be feeling and why and I just didn't get it. And so like a lot of times, Even when we would have our events, I didn't and you would like send the energy through, You know, He goes and we connect our hands like this, Like together and then he'll send energy and we're supposed to all feel it and like there's a big circle of people and then everybody's like, Oh, I feel it and I'm like, Yeah, Sure, Yeah, I feel it. No, I don't feel it. Tracey's sitting there going, I'm like, Do you though? And someone's like, Oh, My God, I know, Like, Oh, That feels so good. And I'm like, That's thinking like, Oh, You're full of crap. And they weren't right. Yeah, I mean, Well, Now that I understand it, So I wanted to do this topic on just like the beginning, Like for people who were where I was at, And to just kind of help them understand what it is and how to begin feeling it. So do you want to just start explaining? Totally. And I think we should start with a disclaimer, Right? Like what we're talking about is not healing energy or the ability to go and heal others or that's a traditional type of process and you want to make sure you learn a tradition. We're specifically talking about energy, Right? Like just the basic, The foundation, Let's call it, Right? And so when we look at energy, The big thing with energy is there's a couple facts, Right? Number one, Energy is all around us, Right? It's in every living thing on the planet has an energy, Has a vibration, Right? And that's not disputed by any scientists or anything. So that's not like a spiritual thing. It's a fact, Right? And every piece of energy out there is vibrate differently, Right? All has its own little tone, Its own vibration, Right? And inanimate objects, Because I always think it's important to talk about them, Right? An inanimate object, Like a table, A chair, A bike, Car, Right? They will always hold energy, Right? And so a lot of times people will feel things from those, From those different things because they're inanimate, They just hold it, Right? So energy is that vibration that travels throughout us. It's that spark, Right? It's that intuitive spark, That spirit within us, That's energy, Right? So that's kind of the definition of it. And I think what you were looking at and what you kind of wanted to go to was, Was how you feel it, What do you do to feel it, Right? And I think some of that starts with, I think number one is you have to let go of the mind. Like you have to release thoughts, Right? Whenever you're dealing with something that is on a spiritual nature, And you'll always hear me say this to like my clients, The clients, Right? This is like, What do you feel? Feel is the key word when it comes to anything spiritual. And to feel, Whether it's emotionally, Physically, Spiritually, You have to get out of your mind. Correct. You stand in our way. It's even harder. And I've, I've shared often that I struggle with ADHD and anxiety. And so when I'm, When I'm up here in my head with all the thoughts, How am I going to be able to like feel anything? So that was probably my first hurdle right there was just knowing that weight, You really have to like ground. And I was concentrating on like the wrong aspect of it. So which we can get into would show us like how to do it. I think like it's important to reckon in, Right? Like our mind is there to keep us human, Right? It's that ego side that wants us to stay in the human realm, Right? Like to live a life, To, To be a part of things. And so when you start talking about energy, Intuition, Anything like that, Your mind is always going to kind of step in front of you and go, But are you sure, Are you sure that you're, This is what you should be doing? You know, And it's just because it's taking care of us. And so I think number one is just making sure you let go of the kind of those feelings, Right? Like your thoughts. So that can be through grounding, Breathing exercises, Maybe like a progressive relaxation and meditation, Something like that. Yeah. And you can go with like, You can go with like a super long meditation if you wanted to. Personally, When you're kind of like first starting with energy, Bring that through, Right? Yeah. Fit yourself ground and let go. Take that out of that vent. Exactly. Get out of your head. And get into your, You know, Just like when you do a breathing exercise, How you just like focus on the breath. You know, And it's interesting because a lot of times, Especially people that I work with and just developing their intuition, Right? One of the key things that you'll catch is, Is that when you're focusing on it, You're actually not breathing. Right. You stop breathing. That's true. And you're spending so much time focusing on, You know, Feeling the energy or, You know, Whatever, Right? Like pulling the Ricard. Right. That you're so focused on that, That you're not breathing and by not breathing, You're not grounding. And so you're not connecting. Well stopping that I learned about, About feeling energy right away was that when you focus on it, You actually can't feel it, It'll go away. So like we talk about feeling energy, Let's say if you put your hands, You know, Together about six inches apart or so, And you know, Where you can be able to feel that energy in between. Some things that I learned is one to focus on the space between, Not focus on the palms of your hand, But focus on, Right, The space around the actual hand, Right? And then, But when you're focusing too hard, You're now in your mind and you're not going to feel it. Yeah. And so it was kind of when I would like kind of get annoyed a little bit and kind of like be like, Oh, You know, We get annoyed never. Doesn't happen. So old and collected. Sweetheart. Chat. Easy. So, But as soon as I would kind of like step away and like, Just like relax, It would come back and I'd be like, Oh, And so I learned from trial and error. It's kind of like you're in this mid way of your conscious and unconscious bind. And then also that, And then if you are focusing on something consciously, It's the space, Not the element. Yes. And, And, You know, I would actually, I personally would say like, Don't use the word focus. Use the word feel. Right. Right. That's better. Yeah. Like just because. Well, Because focus goes back to the mind. Exactly. Like if you start to say focus, I like for me, And I'm not really a type A, But I will say this, Like there are moments when I am, And, But if you say focus to me, I'll be like. I thought it was like a superhero trying to like make something happen. And nothing's going to happen because I'm focusing, Right? But if you let go and you just kind of feel. Right. You start to recognize it. That's a really good point. Yeah. Because it's already there. We're just feeling what is already exists there. We're not creating anything. We're not, We're not like opening this present that like you didn't know was existent. Yeah. It's actually already in you. Right. It's already inside of us right now. Right. Like we're all sending it through as we speak. And so all we're trying to do is just feel what's already moving. Right. Right. Because energy is always in motion. So let's help people to like the very beginnings of how they would feel. Sure. What is. So I would always say step one is just to breathe and let go. And do it to a point until you start to feel your body just get heavy. Right. Like it's an easy way to recognize that you're not in your mind. Right. Relax. Yeah. Right. And there was a word you used. Like you said. We're going to put that down as a no. She doesn't remember. I had yet to hear her say that. Remember. Sentence. Nobody was. It was. It was. It was. It was a turn. When you meditate it was. Aggressive relaxation. No. Brazing technique. And we're going there. Anyways. It's not. It's. We're going to forget the word. It never happened. It didn't happen. But like. It. Don't focus on like. Like releasing. Right. Or like. Relaxation. Was there relaxation? Yes. Like where you realize it gets into a space of relaxation. And it's like well no one really. Relaxation is defined so differently. Right. That you don't want to like go into a space where you have to think. She wants to let go. Like. Like. Just. You're just feeling that weight. Right. So. That's step one. Just breathe. And just let go. Skill yourself. Let go. Then. I personally. There's two ways to do it. To start. You can clap. Clap. Clap. Clap. Clap. Clap. Clap. Or you can just rub your hands. I like rubbing your hands. Rubbing your hands to me is just a lot easier. And all we're doing is creating friction. Right. But by creating friction. You're essentially having the energy move in a faster way. Right. So when you rub it. Rub it. Rub it. Till it feels warm. Then pull it apart. And just start to feel. What do you feel? Tracy. What are you feeling? I feel it. It feels like a static electricity. Like a bunch of tingling. Fast tingling. Tingling. That's a great word. Like. For me. Like. I will tell you. So like for me. I would say it almost feels like an electric boat. So I would. Looking back now. I realized that I was feeling energy. But I didn't understand it. Because I would say. Oh. It just. Because a lot of times. Mine would feel like the pulses. Of like my heartbeat. Or something. And I was like. Oh. That's just the pulse. I'm just feeling my pulse. But that's energy. Exactly. That's why I'm like. Duh. You were feeling it. It's movement. I just didn't understand it. Or I would be like. Oh. Like I. Sometimes I would get like a involuntary. Like a. Something. Like. Oh. That's the energy. Moving my finger. Yeah. And I learned that. While we would do the Reiki. Or while you would do Reiki. And over the. Over. At our events. For the participants. And you'd be like. Over their. Leg. Or something like that. Or their foot. Not touching them though. And then. Their foot would. Would like jerk. You know. And I was like. Oh. And it made the connection for me. I'm like. Oh. So when I'm. That's actually the energy I'm feeling. Because. I think. It. It. It has a defined feeling. Right. But. We talked about this at. One point. Where we were talking. It was like. You know. The thing to remember when it comes to spirituality. Right. Is number one. Stop thinking. Just don't think. Feel is like the best thing. But number two. Remember. We're. We're kind of. We're kind of. New territory. Well. It's new territory. But. But we're kind of programmed. By Hollywood a little bit. Right. And. Hollywood has a way of showing. That this is what happens. Right. Like this is what to expect. Right. Right. And. And so like. I always give the example. Like I once. Was in a session with someone. I was like. You know. I'm getting something. And I'm talking through it. And they're like. Wait. One's here. I don't. I don't see anyone. And I was like. Oh no. That's that. That. That doesn't happen here. That just happens in Hollywood. Right. And so. You know. There's that one. Where she just starts screaming. Oh my God. I see someone. It's for you. And it's like. No. Come on. It's. It's subtle. Right. Like. But Hollywood has this way. It's a feeling. Exactly. It's the feeling. And it's just kind of recognizing that. Don't go into your head. And overthink it. Yeah. It reminds me of. With Sedona. And Sedona, Arizona. Has the vortexes. Yeah. And people would. You know. And they. You imagine it to be. Like this. Swirling. Like you could feel it. Physically around. Like swirling around your body. You know. And it's interesting. Because once I. Learned about it. Then I started. You know. Teaching other people about it. And it's very. Each vortex. Kind of has a different. Type of energy. Right. And like. Some are masculine. Feminine. Some are like. High energy. Some are. Lower energy. And it's like. Some people will just. Feel. Or like. Even start crying. Or feel very sensitive. Emotionally. And then I'll go to other. Vortexes. And I will get this. Burst of energy. And be like. I want to run. And I just. Run. All the way down. The hill. The side of the trail. Yeah. And it's just. It's just that. Feeling. But you don't. Actually feel. This like. The. Like a physical vortex. Like you're in a. Wind tunnel. Or a tornado. You know. Yeah. So. My mom visited. When I first moved here. And we took her to. Sedona. And I was like. Oh mom. There's a vortex right here. And she's like. Vortex. And I was like. Yeah. You know. Because there's energy. And she's like. I don't seem to have energy. And I was like. Well. It's here. Like. I'm feeling it. And she's like. I don't feel anything. And then she kind of left. It was. Because she was in her mind. Right. Like she was expecting. Energy. Right. A hail of energy. Energy. It's already there. Right. It's part of us. And so. It's existent. And so. What got me started on this topic. To want to begin to feel energy. To begin with. A quick. Funny. Story. Is so. Classic Tracy. Classic Tracy. So. After my first dog passed away. Charlie. I. Spoke to. On the phone. A pet psychic. And she's. And I was so into this. I was like. I wanted to like. Connect to him. And like. Talk to him. And I wanted. Like. Messages from him. And I. So. I'm taking notes. And I'm doing. You know. Writing and asking her. A ton of questions. And. And all of a sudden. She just says really nonchalantly. To me. She's like. Well. You know. You. You should. He's right beside him. You. You should. You can feel him. And I. Meanwhile. She's. She's. In her. Blindfold. Trying to pin. The tail. Of the dog. Pin. The. Dad's. Trace. Exactly. Looking for. That. Other. King. I was. All over. The bed. In like. All four corners. And I went. I kept going. Well wait. Wait. Because she was trying to continue. And I. And I kept like. Stopping her. And I was like. Kind of like the. I was like. Pity. Go to my honeymoon. First girl. I didn't get it. And I was like. Oh. I could. I thought. It was so. Bad. It's hard though. And. I want to. I want to know how to feel this. You know. Yeah. So that. That. That started my. Journey. Journey. Yeah. It. It's true though. Because I think we all have a different expectation of what that looks like. Right. And so I was like. Okay. Let's just. Let's just kind of feel the energy of. Of that person. And. And. And. I didn't even realize. Like sometimes I forget. Like. Okay. I do it every day. Right. Right. And so I have to kind of slow down. And I was like. Can you just go like this? Right. And. So. No. That didn't work. We had to go a little slower. Right. I had to explain it. Yeah. I had to like define what that feels like. Right. And so I was like. Let's just. Breathe. And then. Rub your hands together. Slap them really hard. Whichever one you prefer. And then feel. And let the energy kind of course and move and kind of define it. And I think what is a great suggestion that you had brought up was. And I am a big believer in documenting your intuitive journey. I think it's so important to have those moments where you go backwards and say. Yeah. That did happen. Yeah. Right. Like. Because it not only. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like.
