[PHYSICS | Week #6] Vibrations

"Good" Vibrations, Energy & Qi

All vibrations aren't good because it depends on the intention.  I think of vibrational energy beyond objects that produce sounds like singing bowls and see the human body as a tool which also exerts powerful vibrations. Outside of school, I practice energy healing and body work, so am constantly interacting with bodily vibrations. Sometimes it is nourishing and healthy, most times its icky and negative vibrations that I pick up from patients because of their intention to move/release those energies in their healing session. As budding acupuncture practitioners and folks that receive the medicine, we play with qi and energy all the time.  Perhaps that is why our work as graduate students is amplified because of the spiritual and energetic ties of the medicine to the scholarly work. While receiving an acupuncture healing session, I literally feel the qi being unlocked in different parts of my body.  My recovery process post session takes time as well because I feel depleted. I usually take the rest of the day off and create boundaries to have little to no interaction with other people's energy.  I can only imagine what the practitioner is going through after supporting me!
