In the Bahariya Oasis

-
In the middle of the desert, I spent one night in a hotel owned and operated by a German and Japanese couple.

I was surrounded by nature, which was both peaceful and hostile.

The hostility came from a group of hungry mosquitoes, who ambushed me while I was standing in the reception area to use the wifi. They flew there to enjoy their free Chinese-Canadian dinner buffet. I think the dinner was very good, because they ate very ferociously.

The peace came from a group of cicadas who lovingly lulled me to sleep, after I retreated to my chalet, and kept me company the entire night.

Bittersweet memory!

Money is Energy

-
Spending money is the expression and expansion of one's energy.  It is the projection of oneself into the material world. Hoarding money is the contraction (almost stagnation) of one's energy.  Monetary budget is the restraining/restriction of one's flow of energy. Earning money is the attraction of energy into one's energy fields. Losing money is the draining or leakage of one's energy. Wealth is an accumulation of one's energy. --- Energy flows.  Money is energy in tangible form.  It converts the intangible (energy) into the tangible (matter).  It too, needs to flow freely. Abundance has a vibration frequency that feels very expansive .  In order for us to vibrate at that frequency, to synchronize ourselves to pull it into our energy fields, we need to expand and express more of ourselves, either by spending money or by doing something else, to maintain a free flowing of our energy in our surroundings. I have observed the following in many (n

Energy / Prana / Qi

The lady who shook my hand showed me her expensive ruby ring, and a ruby bracelet. Ruby that is made into jewelries has been treated at very high temperature. Raw ruby emits a vibrational frequency that is beneficial to the human body whereas "cooked" ruby is dead and offers no health benefits. Yet, raw ruby costs only a fraction of the price of the "cooked" ruby. This reminds me of drinking water. Unboiled water has vital energy (生气) that is beneficial to the body whereas cooked water is dead water. Everything is made of energy. Some food emits a lower frequency than others. Take a plate of leftover deep fried chicken wings for example. The chicken gets its energy from its plant-based food which received its energy from the universe. After the chicken is killed, it is frozen, then thawed, deep fried, and left on the table for half a day, then refrigerated, then reheated. By the time it goes into your mouth, there is no vital energy left. It becomes a l

Introversion and Extroversion

-
There are many articles, books, blogs, videos, etc. about Jungian personality traits of introversion and extroversion.  Here's my summary: Introversion is a inward movement of energy (contractive). Extroversion is an outward movement of energy (projective). There are different reasons for the direction of flow.  However, I can only use myself as an example, as I could not find examples of Jungian personality traits being discussed as energy flows.  As much as I can understand myself (not enough), below are some possible reasons of the inward flow of personal energy: 1) Low energy level:  When I am tired, either lack of sleep, or body requires extra energy to rebuild, realign, recover, etc., then I pull in my energy. 2) Creative work:  When I write, I draw in a lot of energy, because otherwise I am a scatterbrain whose ideas don't flow logically or structurally.  Other individual activities such as reading also draw in a lot of energy, but it differs in the sense that
