Notice the Energy

It's been proven scientifically that we are all made of energetically charged particles. Our cells, the atoms that make them and the smaller particles that create the atoms are all mostly space held together with energy. That is my very unscientific, lay interpretation anyway. But, we all instinctively know this to be true because we pick up energetic signals from each other all the time. We sometimes refer to people as "energy vampires" when we feel that being around them just drains us. Some people rev us up every time we cross paths... they just seem to vibrate at a very high frequency. And then some people can calm a room just by walking in the door. Are you conscious of the energetic vibration that you emit?

I have the great fortune to work with lots of different, diverse groups at the same time and thus get to observe how people influence each other energetically. One of the volunteer committees that I'm working with right now has developed this wonderful sparkling energy. The leader of the group has put his stamp on it by being fully present and open to the collaborative efforts and everyone has picked up on that and you can feel the excitement. Each meeting brings new, fun ideas and we keep attracting new committee members who want to play with us. I know the event will be successful because the good energy we've developed will attract sponsors and participants.

Unfortunately I've also observed people in leadership positions who didn't understand how their energy influenced a group. And the group can be large: hundreds and even thousands of people or more. A woman I once knew in a leadership position was unable to find a way to be truly interested in the people under her influence. She spent all her energy on a few key people but was not willing to give that same consideration to others. She was an energy miser. It wasn't long before "the masses" got very unhappy with her leadership and even those at the top couldn't ignore it. Perhaps she was just unsuited to a leadership position of that magnitude. A lot of energy is required to lead a large organization.

Spend some time watching how people around you exchange energy. Are they contributing or contaminating, abusing or attracting? There's a lot going on in all those spaces between the atoms!
