The Buzz of Being: How Energy Connects All Living Things

Have you ever walked into a room and felt something—before anyone even said a word? Maybe it was “good vibes,” or maybe your cousin just burned popcorn again (that’s a type of energy, too). From the warmth of the sun to the pulsing beat of your favorite song, energy is constantly flowing, transforming, and connecting us all.

But what exactly is energy? How does it shape our daily lives, our health, and even our spiritual experience? Let’s dive into the science, the soul, and a few sparkly stones to explore the fascinating world of energy.

What Is Energy, Anyway?

Energy, in physics, is the ability to do work. It can’t be created or destroyed—only converted from one form to another. That’s the Law of Conservation of Energy, one of science’s golden rules (seriously, it might as well be etched into stone tablets).

There are two main types of energy:

• Kinetic Energy – Energy in motion. Think of a waterfall, a speeding car, or your dog chasing the mailman.

• Potential Energy – Stored energy. Like a stretched rubber band or your teenager when asked to clean their room.

Other common forms include:

• Thermal (heat) energy

• Light (radiant) energy

• Chemical energy (in food, fuel)

• Electrical energy

• Sound energy

• Mechanical energy

Energy in Our Everyday Lives

Energy is everywhere. You’re using it right now to read this sentence (your brain uses about 20 watts of power!). Here's a peek into daily energy use:

• Sunlight provides solar energy, fueling plants via photosynthesis (and us via vitamin D).

• Electricity powers your phone, your fridge, and that sneaky robot vacuum.

• Food provides chemical energy—turned into kinetic energy when you chase after your bus.

• Sound transmits energy through vibrations (hence, why your neighbor’s bass line can rattle your walls).

Even emotions carry energy—laughter is a release, and tension can feel almost electric. There's a reason we say someone has a “magnetic personality.”

Earth: The Ultimate Energy Generator

Earth itself is a buzzing, vibrant energy system. From its molten core to its swirling atmosphere, our planet is alive with energy:

• Geothermal energy bubbles from volcanic vents and hot springs.

• Magnetic fields protect us from cosmic radiation (and guide migrating birds!).

• Tectonic energy shapes continents and causes earthquakes.

The Earth also emits a subtle frequency known as the Schumann Resonance, often measured around 7.83 Hz. Some researchers and spiritual traditions believe this frequency interacts with our own brainwaves, contributing to calmness and balance (Beck, 2018).

Question for thought: If the Earth hums, can we tune into it like a cosmic radio?

Human Bodies: Walking Energy Fields

We’re not just meat suits with thoughts—we’re energetic beings. Our bodies run on bioelectrical signals. The heart’s rhythm? Powered by tiny electric pulses. The brain’s thoughts? You guessed it—electricity. Your nervous system is essentially a high-speed fiber-optic network!

According to the National Institutes of Health, the human body emits detectable electromagnetic fields, particularly from the heart and brain (McCraty et al., 2009). These fields are so precise, they can be measured with modern technology like ECGs and MRIs.

Ever notice how being near certain people makes you feel uplifted, or drained? Science is catching up with what spiritual traditions have known for centuries: we’re constantly exchanging energy with the world around us.

Crystal Clear Energy: Stones That Spark

Crystals aren’t just pretty—they’re scientifically fascinating. Many possess piezoelectric properties—meaning they can generate electricity when pressure is applied (quartz is a great example). This is why quartz is used in watches, microphones, and even computer chips.

Some believe crystals can help balance or amplify personal energy. While mainstream science hasn’t confirmed this yet, millions around the world swear by the calming energy of amethyst, the grounding pull of black tourmaline, or the heart-opening vibe of rose quartz.

Humorous side note: You don’t need a crystal to be grounded—but hey, if hugging a chunk of amethyst helps you forgive your ex, go for it.

Energy in the Bible: Spiritual Frequencies

The Bible may not use modern scientific language, but it often speaks of energy, power, and the dynamic interaction between humans, nature, and the Divine.

Here are a few verses (KJV) that echo energetic principles:

✔️ “And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.”
(Genesis 1:3)
—The very first act of creation? Energy in the form of light.

✔️ “For in him we live, and move, and have our being...”
(Acts 17:28)
—A reminder that our existence is deeply embedded in a greater source of life-energy.

✔️ “Virtue had gone out of him.”
(Luke 8:46)
—When the woman touched Jesus' garment, he sensed healing energy (virtue) leave him—suggesting a tangible transfer of power.

✔️ “The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing.”
(Isaiah 14:7)
—The earth responds to peace and stillness. Vibrationally, energetically, that’s a beautiful thought.

⭐️ What Is God's Energy?

When we speak about “God’s energy,” we’re not referring to electrical volts or scientific measurements. Rather, we're talking about God’s divine presence, power, and influence as it manifests in the world. This is sometimes called:

• Divine energy

• Holy Spirit activity

• The power of God

In essence, God's energy is His dynamic, living force—the spiritual power by which He creates, sustains, transforms, and connects with creation.

What Does the Bible Say?

While the King James Version (KJV) doesn’t use the modern word "energy," the concept is deeply present through terms like “power,” “might,” “glory,” “Spirit,” and “virtue.”

Here are a few key verses:

✔️ "For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen."
— Matthew 6:13

🔹 God's power is eternal and majestic—it fuels the very structure of existence.

✔️ “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you...”
— Acts 1:8

🔹 Here, Jesus describes a divine transfer of energy (power) to the disciples through the Holy Spirit.

✔️ “And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.”
— Luke 8:46

🔹 The Greek word translated “virtue” here (δύναμις, dunamis) can mean power, strength, or force—suggesting a literal transmission of divine energy.

The Holy Spirit: God’s Energetic Presence

The Holy Spirit is often seen as the manifestation of God's energy working in the world today. It comforts, convicts, empowers, and guides believers.

✔️ “And the earth was without form, and void... And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.”
— Genesis 1:2

🔹 Before creation even took shape, God's Spirit (His energy, His breath) was moving. The Hebrew word for spirit—“ruach”—also means wind or breath. That’s divine energy in motion.

Experiencing God’s Energy in Daily Life

People often report sensing God's energy through:

• Prayer and worship (a sense of peace or warmth)

• Healing moments (emotional or physical)

• Encounters with nature that feel sacred

• Acts of love or service, where something bigger than ourselves seems to flow through us

It’s not about fireworks—sometimes God’s energy is the still, small voice that calms a storm inside your heart.

✔️ “Be still, and know that I am God...”
— Psalm 46:10

💡 So… Is God Energy?

Some spiritual movements suggest “God is energy,” but Christian theology makes an important distinction:

• God is not just energy—He is personal, relational, conscious, and holy.

• But His energy flows into all creation—through His Word, His Spirit, and His people.

Think of it this way: energy is one expression of God’s nature—but God is so much more. He is love. He is light. He is the source of all life.

Are You Plugged In?

God’s energy is not scarce. It’s freely offered, poured out, and always present. The real question is:

Are we open to receiving it?

Just like a lamp needs to be plugged in to shine, we need to stay connected to the Source.

✔️ “I am the vine, ye are the branches... without me ye can do nothing.”
— John 15:5

How Can We Tune In?

Here’s the big question: If everything is energy, how can we live in harmony with it?

• Be mindful of what you consume—nutritionally, emotionally, and mentally.

• Spend time in nature, a massive energy balancer.

• Breathe deeply, meditate, and reconnect with your inner spark.

• Practice gratitude—which studies show can shift your brain’s vibrational pattern.

• Use tools (like crystals or prayer) that help you focus intention and connect with energy consciousl
