Have you ever experienced an indescribable but overwhelming sensation around a certain someone that can only be summed up in four little words?
“I’m not feeling you.”

This simple and common phrase is often used with little thought, but when truly considered, the act of “not feeling someone” can speak volumes. While it can take time to get to know a person and all of the little quirks that make them unique, energy reading is a quick way to feel out a new friend, co-worker or potential partner. I recognize that this sounds a little off the wall, but stick with me…I’m going somewhere with this.

The transfer of energy is a simple scientific method used to describe how one object gives power or force to another. I am a firm believer that both positive and negative energy can be transferred from one person to another. Before you start calling me a hippie, consider the last time that your supervisor, co-worker, spouse or someone close to you was in a ridiculously foul mood. Consider how you felt before you interacted with Mr. or Mrs. Angry Pants.

Now think about how you felt after you spoke to that person. Were you possibly feeling a little crappy yourself, but not able to put your finger on why you were upset? Just as you can catch a cold, you can catch a bad mood. According to Dr. Elaine Hatfield, a psychologist at the University of Hawaii, “Emotional contagion happens within milliseconds, so quick you can’t control it, and so subtly that you’re not really aware it’s going on”. Beyond the act of feeling (or not feeling) the energy of another person, many also believe that our bodies give off an aura, or a life color that is indicative of our personality. This concept it a little more far-fetched for some so I won’t go into too much detail but think back to when Charlie Murphy described Rick James as having an orange aura.. Now consider the fact that oranges are daredevils and thrill seekers who usually put their life on the line just to feel alive. As for myself, I’m a violet and blue gal with a hint of magenta.

You can quickly pick up on vibes from people simply by observation and being in tune with your own intuition and feelings. My body tells me when a person or a situation isn’t safe. In contrast, you can also pick up good energy from being around positive people. Think back to the months leading up to November 4th. President Barack Obama’s eloquent mannerisms and overall positive demeanor had us all feeling like we could take over the world.

Simply said…be in tune with your body and intuition. It’s a great judge of character. Always wear a smile, you never know who is vibing off of your energy. And the next time that you wake up in a terrible mood…consider who’s laying next to you. Just kidding. Sort of.
