The Pyramid of Energy
Raise your emotional energy and create joy
At anytime, our energy fluctuates between six levels:
Victimhood/Sadness- I lose. Why is this happening TO me?
Anger/Frustration - You lose, you hurt me.
Acceptance - I win, and I will save myself no matter what.
Forgiveness - I care about you and forgive you.
Peace - Can we create a win-win?
Joy - How is what I’m experiencing happening FOR me? And how can I grow from it?
Understanding those levels is essentiel to grasp the effects of day to day challenges.
Level 1 is the level of sadness, the level where we feel powerless, where tears are shed and the solution seems almost inexistent or at least unreachable. You might feel stuck at this level, but this low energy can allow you to rest and take the time to think about what you really want.
Level 2 is the level of anger, of frustration, of energy directed against others, the Universe, and even yourself. Staying too long in this level can become destructive, but this energy can be what pushes us to do more, want more, fight for more.
Level 3 is the level of acceptance, resilience. The level where we find our solution or at least decide that there is a solution and that we will find it. This is a level essential to rebuild from, but if you stay too long at that level you can get into a rut and get bored. Calmness is wonderful and at the same time, life brings changes that make it unsustainable. It’s a transition level toward the upper levels, or you will need to go back down to rebuild your energy from the ground up.
Level 4 is the level of forgiveness and compassion. It is the level where understanding others point of view and self-acceptance resides. Gratitude, non judgment, connection with others and self emanate from the level 4, but if this energy of love is only directed toward others, you might find yourself drained and get resentful, which will bring you back to a level 1/2.
Level 5 is the level of peace and partnership. It the level where the win-win is a priority, where we are at peace with our situation, ourselves, the Universe. From this level, everything is possible because there is a real desire to make it work and a feeling of moving forward in the flow is finally obtained.
Level 6 is the level, joy and celebration. It is the level where you finally realize that everything happens for a reason and the hardship you may have experienced where only part of a masterplan toward the best outcome possible. Enjoy!!
The energy of a relationship is the average of both(or more) energies.
This is applicable to any relationship: romantic, parent-child, siblings, co-workers, entrepreneur-client, friends, strangers meeting in the street…
Since it’s impossible to change other’s energy, the only way to rise the energy of a relationship is by increasing the level of your own energy.
