At the foundation of everything in the universe lies two distinct yet interconnected forces: subtle energy and physical matter. Together, they operate in harmony, forming the essence of all creation. Understanding the difference between them, as well as the unifying thread between them, is key to gaining insight into yourself and the world around you.
Physical Matter (which is also known as physical energy) is a form of energy that is tangible. It’s the energy we can see, touch, and measure. Physical energy is rooted in the material realm, encompassing the things we experience through our five senses: the texture of an old bookcase, the sound of music to our ears or the fabric of our favorite sweater.
Subtle energy, on the other hand, exists beyond the reach of our physical senses. It’s invisible but profoundly influential, like the electricity that powers your home. Energy flows through and connects everything, operating as the undercurrent of thoughts, emotions, and even intuition.
Ancient traditions refer to it as “life force energy” (like prana or chi), while modern science acknowledges its impact through concepts like electromagnetic fields and vibrational frequencies.
Physical energy is the visible, measurable manifestation of reality, while subtle energy is the unseen force shaping those manifestations.
Together, they form a dynamic relationship that governs both our internal experiences and the external world.
In recent decades, science has transitioned from skepticism about the existence of subtle energy fields around the human body to a definitive acknowledgment of their reality.
Research by Harold Saxon Burr, a pioneering scientist at Yale University School of Medicine, broke new ground by suggesting that diseases could be detected in the body’s energy field before physical symptoms emerged. Burr further proposed that altering these energy fields could not only treat but prevent illness altogether. While such ideas were once considered speculative, today they are increasingly validated by advancements in medical research and energy medicine.
For centuries, intuitive and sensitive individuals have described subtle energy fields and their profound effects on health, emotions, and well-being. However, it is only in recent years that science has begun to explain and measure these phenomena. Breakthroughs in neuroscience, quantum biology, and psychophysiology are providing a framework for understanding how subtle energy operates within and around us.
While physical energy is easier to focus on—subtle energy often escapes our attention. Yet, subtle energy governs our thoughts, emotions, intentions, beliefs, and even our identity. These are not abstract concepts; they are measurable, impactful forces that influence up to 95% of our daily behaviors, as demonstrated by research into the subconscious mind.
This vast, unseen world of subtle energy holds untapped potential for empowerment, healing, and self-transformation. By shifting our focus from solely the physical to include the subtle, we open the door to profound self-awareness and the ability to influence our reality in ways once thought impossible.
To truly break free from limiting patterns, heal on deeper levels, and align with our highest potential, we must learn to work with subtle energy.
Here are a few ways to begin working with subtle energy—
Become aware of your thoughts: Start by noticing your internal dialogue and choose positive, self-affirming thoughts over negative, critical, or fear-based ones.
Practice gratitude or visualization: Dedicate just 10 minutes a day to a gratitude or visualization practice, focusing on uplifting and empowering pictures, symbols or day dreams to shift your energy.
Explore energy healing: Consider booking a Reiki session or another form of energy healing to experience firsthand how subtle energy can shift and balance within your body.
