"Opening to the power of intention, you begin knowing that conception,
birth and death are all natural aspects of the energy field of creation." Wayne Dyer
Everything is comprised of energy, everything. When dieting, people will often count calories as a way to manage their weight. But how many know what a calorie really is? It is a measurement of energy. A calorie is the amount of heat (energy) released by food as it is digested by the body as needed to raise the temperature of 1,000 grams (2.2 pounds) of water by one degree Celsius, which is why when we weigh ourselves before retiring at night, and then again in the morning, we have lost weight, while sleeping! That's right, we burn calories while asleep! Probably not an overall effective stratagem for weight loss, the "Sleeping Diet", but that is not the point. The point being energy is all around us, in us, it is what propels everything and everyone and takes many forms we often take for granted or never bothered to consider.
On the secular side, the amount of energy it takes to burn off that pepperoni pizza from last night is one thing, of infinitely more importance is the amount of spiritual energy we will require today to handle the inevitable trials and tribulations of life. The good news is it is all around us, available, and by opening ourselves to it with prayer, meditation and being of service to others, we are filled, remembering this field of energy is the Creative Life Force itself, of which we are a part of.
So, if shedding a few pounds going into the New Year is the goal, maybe skip the Ben and Jerry's but never miss an opportunity to pray, meditate and be of service, for spiritual calories are never a bad thing and they always look good on us.
