After a busy day at work, we come home and rest on the couch for
a while, sometimes watching TV or reading the paper. We come to
the dinner table for a bite to eat, then go back to the sofa or
easy chair, saying that we’re “out of energy.”
Then the phone rings. It’s a friend inviting us to do something
we love—bowling, dancing, golf, or to go somewhere we enjoy.
Suddenly we feel rejuvenated! Where before there was “no energy,”
now energy floods through our body and we are excited to be active.
What is energy? Where does it come from? How does it diminish or
grow? Are there ways to increase our energy? And as we get older,
instead of feeling that all of our energy is draining out of us,
is there a vitamin we can take or a diet we can eat—or is
there something else we can do—to help our energy levels?
If you have asked those questions, you have joined thousands of
others who understand what energy is when they are experiencing
it or they don’t have it, but who don’t know where energy
comes from or how to get it.
Energy surrounds us! We know energy by what it does, but we haven’t
really come to understand what it is at all. The dictionary defines
energy as “1. vigor in the exertion of power; strength in
action; forcefulness of expression. 2. action; activity; operation.
3. (Physics) capacity to do work. Those definitions seem rather
vague, which is precisely how energy appears to us. We recognize
energy most effectively by its results.
Benjamin Franklin tested the energy of electricity in his famous
key and kite string experiment. Carl Van Doren quotes Joseph Priestley,
a contemporary of Franklin, who much have related the story in great
detail and read it as it is described below:
"As every circumstance relating to so capital a discovery
(the greatest, perhaps, since the time of Sir Isaac Newton) cannot
but give pleasure to all my readers, I shall endeavour to gratify
them with the communication of a few particulars which I have from
the best authority.
"The Doctor, having published his method of verifying his
hypothesis concerning the sameness of electricity with the matter
of lightning, was waiting for the erection of a spire [on Christ
Church] in Philadelphia to carry his views into execution; not imagining
that a pointed rod of a moderate height could answer the purpose;
when it occurred to him that by means of a common kite he could
have better access to the regions of thunder than by any spire whatever.
Preparing, therefore, a large silk handkerchief and two cross-sticks
of a proper length on which to extend it, he took the opportunity
of the first approaching thunderstorm to take a walk in the fields,
in which there was a shed convenient for his purpose. But, dreading
the ridicule which too commonly attends unsuccessful attempts in
science, he communicated his intended experiment to nobody but his
son" — then twenty-one, not a child as in the traditional
illustrations of the scene — "who assisted him in raising
the kite.
"The kite being raised, a considerable time elapsed before
there was any appearance of its being electrified. One very promising
cloud had passed over it without any effect; when, at length, just
as he was beginning to despair of his contrivance, he observed some
loose threads of the hempen string to stand erect, and to avoid
one another, just as if they had been suspended on a common conductor.
Struck with this promising appearance, he immediately presented
his knuckle to the key, and (let the reader judge of the exquisite
pleasure he must have felt at that moment) the discovery was complete.
He perceived a very evident electric spark. Others succeeded, even
before the string was wet, so as to put the matter past all dispute,
and when the rain had wet the string he collected electric fire
very copiously. This happened in June 1752, a month after the electricians
in France had verified the same theory, but before he heard of anything
they had done."
Although Franklin recognized the truly awesome power contained
within the spectacular thunderstorms, electrical power remains much
the same today as it was in the 1700’s—invisible, mysterious,
and capable of providing great benefits or great danger, depending
upon how it is used.
Thus we know electricity exists, whatever it is. But in addition
to electrical currents, there are other kinds of energy. There are
air currents, ocean or water currents, heat, cold, light. All around
us, constantly throughout the day, we utilize the benefits of equipment
that operates based upon energy. Cell phones, radios, televisions,
microwave ovens, computers, fax machines, cameras and camcorders,
washers and dryers and dishwashers, vacuum cleaners, remote controls,
satellites—the list is probably endless. Interestingly, the
wavelengths or frequencies of many of these items permeate the air
around us. It is difficult to find a place on Planet Earth where
there are no signals present; where frequencies do not go. And the
wavelengths do not just go around us. They go through us. So no
matter where we are, we are constantly bombarded with energy.
Energy exists at different frequencies in every thing, animate
or inanimate. Each thing that surrounds you or is measurable is
identifiable by its energy frequency. Additionally, every thing
that you “see” as being solid is not really solid. It
is a mass of atoms, combined at various densities to form objects.
Living tissue operates with higher frequencies than, for example,
rocks. But every one and every thing give off energy.
The bombardment of vibrations that affect our bodies in the lower
frequency ranges include heat, light, smell, laser beams, and movement.
Higher frequencies are generated by radios, TVs, cell phones, microwaves,
infrared, visible light, ultraviolet light, x-rays, and gamma rays.
Even schools of fish and flocks of birds move in synchrony because
of vibrational signals called “wave resonance.”
The popular song from the 70’s by the Beach Boys talks about
“picking up her vibrations.” Most of us have met someone
with whom we just feel a connection. The recognition can appear
almost instantly. We often call these people “kindred spirits”
or “soul mates,” and we may feel we have known them
before. Perhaps it is because, like a tuning fork, we are operating
on similar wavelengths.
You might say, all this is very interesting, but why would a medical
doctor choose to write about vibrations and energy? And that question
might lead to further questions, such as: What happens to our energy
when we are healthy? What about when we are sick? What can we do
to increase our energy?
Author's Bio
Stan M. Gardner, M.D., and his wife Cristie, are the parents of
six sons and two daughters. He began his quest for understanding
health and illness while attending medical school in the Philippines.
He did a pediatrics residency in Omaha, Nebraska, and practiced
pediatrics for nine years in Layton, Utah. The Gardner family moved
to Montana in 1992. While in Montana, Stan was introduced to preventive
medicine, which emphasizes strengthening the immune system. After
four years of studying this field, he joined Preventive Medicine
Group in Westlake, Ohio. He has become a certified nutrition specialist
(CNS), and writes and lectures extensively on the subject of preventive
medicine and natural means of healing. With over 15 years' experience
in the integrative field of medicine, he is a popular speaker and
provides interesting perspectives on healthy alternatives to drugs
and surgery.
