Opening Awareness To Energy
by Saqib Rizvi
Nothing matters! In other words, nothing is matter, everything is energy. This is not a spiritual or mystical statement anymore, it is a scientific fact. Join Saqib in this talk to know how you can move your awareness from the world of matter to the universe of energy!

Before we delve into spirituality in this session,
I would like to discuss a bit of science with you.
In fact,
I believe that spirituality is the science that we haven't understood or discovered yet.
Atoms are the building blocks of the universe and by studying these small particles,
We understand that how this physical world functions at the very basic level.
Now here's an interesting fact that I want to tell you about atoms.
The percentage of physical matter in an atom is about 0.
000001%.
That is 99.
9999999% of an atom is empty space.
Let me repeat that.
More than 99% of an atom is empty space.
To get an idea of what that might look like,
Here's an example.
If the atom was of the size of New York City,
Then the amount of actual physical matter in that city would be not more than the size of your car parked at a random street in New York City.
Rest all is energy in the form of waves of potentialities.
Now atoms are the building blocks of physical things like your table,
Your house,
You yourself,
Plants,
Animals,
Planets,
Star systems,
Galaxies and the entire universe.
It means that the entire universe is more than 99% energy.
I would like to repeat that as it is so important.
Entire universe is more than 99% energy.
Still we are conditioned since our childhood to focus on the 0.
000001% of the physical world of materialistic objects and ignore the majority of what the universe is made up of.
That is energy.
No wonder we have stayed so disconnected from energy and our own soul.
And no wonder we experienced so much stress,
Frustration and depression because our view of reality is very limited.
Focusing on just less than 0.
1% of the universe.
We separated ourselves from wholeness.
We separated ourselves from our soul.
And we have separated ourselves from love.
And since our childhood we have been living in a world of separation,
Mortality,
Fear and hatred.
Doesn't it make sense then to open our awareness to more than 99% of the universe now?
Isn't it time for us to evolve and become whole instead of staying stuck in this illusory world of fear,
Limitations,
Separation and hatred?
This is the reason that mystics like Buddha and Jesus raised the consciousness of people so that they could reconnect to the whole.
So how can we open our awareness to this majority of the universe that is made up of energy?
Now I am not talking about doing energy work in a professional sense.
What I mean here is that when we start opening our awareness to energy and start sensing it,
That is when we are more connected to our soul and that is when we are more intuitive.
I told you what energy is from the scientific perspective.
But now let's discuss what energy means as per various traditions.
In the Hindu tradition it is known as prana and it is used for doing practices like yoga.
In the Chinese tradition it is known as chi and is used in practices like tai chi,
Qigong,
Reiki and aikido.
And in the western traditions it is known as light and is used by light workers for healing.
Energy is the life force which gives life to everything.
It is how the soul functions in the universe.
It is in fact the soul itself.
When you are using energy you are accessing a part of the universal soul.
It is what runs the universe.
It is what moves objects.
The universe came into formation with this energy.
When the big bang occurred and the universe formed,
It required energy for that explosion to take place.
It is that energy we are talking about here.
It is the energy which is our vital life force.
It is what keeps us alive and conscious.
The good news is that we can use this energy to do miracles even in this physical world of matter.
Many people are healing their fatal diseases using energy through alternative forms of healing.
We can at least start sensing energy in our own bodies.
Many of us are disconnected even with the energies in our body.
A lot of us function from our heads.
Our awareness is only limited to our heads as we are mostly indulged in rational thinking from the brain,
Looking with the eyes,
Listening with our ears and speaking with our mouth.
Many of us aren't even aware of what's going on down in our body in places like the heart and the solar plexus.
So a good way to connect with the energies in the body is through the seven primary energy centers commonly known as the chakras.
So what are the chakras?
I will not go into the details of the chakras in this session but let me explain how they function.
The way light breaks into its seven colors of the rainbow when it passes through a prism,
When energy passes through us,
It breaks into seven primary energy centers or chakras,
Denoted by the seven colors of the rainbow.
Now when these chakras are in balance,
We feel calm and centered and our emotions are also balanced.
However when there is an imbalance in the chakras,
That is when there is less energy in a particular chakra or excessive energy in another,
We experience imbalance in our daily lives,
Imbalance in our thoughts,
In our emotions and our feelings.
For example,
If there is a lack of energy in your throat chakra,
You might find it difficult to express things.
Also there is an energy field around our body and when the chakras are in balance,
The energy field around our body is complete and full.
But when there is an imbalance and if some of the chakras have less energy or are blocked,
These chakras will draw energy from the energy field around our body and will diminish this energy field.
This makes us more of matter and less of energy or in other words,
This makes us more materialistic and less spiritual.
You can easily notice this phenomenon in people you meet every day.
When someone's chakras are in balance,
Their energy field will be full and you will see them active,
Beaming with life,
Happy and their skin glowing as if you can literally see their energy.
But when someone's chakras are imbalanced,
They will look tired,
Inactive,
Dull,
Pale and sad as if someone sucked all the energy out of them.
So how do we access this energy field?
How do we shift our focus from the less than 1% of the material world to the more than 99% of the energy world?
The first step is to get grounded in the present moment.
We access this physical world through our thoughts and thoughts are always illusions because either they are of the past or of the future which do not exist.
The reality is in the present moment.
So once we withdraw our awareness from the past and the future,
We come in contact with the reality of the world of energy.
And that is when we can start using the energy to cause miracles in our life.
Heaven blessings to you.

Very inspiring talk, gives more meaning to โthe shiftโ in counciousness many talks about. I find it interesting in another level too, since I remember you have mentioned in your earlier talks that you have an engineering degree and that it was a kind of disappointment involved when you discovered that you did not find joy in that career, but you were still strong enough to carve out your own path. And here might be a field where you can offer so much to others - because of your scientific understanding. In the meeting of science and spirituality. In short I just wanted to say thank you โจ๐
