The Power of Intention Part 8 of 10: Raising Your Energy State
March 11, 2009 by dr. lam
In the book, The Power of Intention, Dyer talks about various states of energy but fundamentally divides energies into high and low. He tries to help someone leave a low energy state and to enter a high energy state. For example, hatred, fear, anxiety are low energy states, whereas love, happiness, and forgiveness are high energy states. He talks about kinesiology in which muscle strength goes flaccid when someone contemplates these low energy states but becomes firm and strong with high energy thoughts. I actually tried this out and was quite skeptical in the past but it is true. When I was telling the truth like “My name is Sam”, my arm that was held out remained stiff. When I said, “my name is Susan”, I could feel my arm go limp and fall against the resistance that the other person had exerted on my arm. Our conscious mind can overcome these muscle tests but at the time I had no idea about kinesiology or what was transpiring so I was susceptible and it worked.
Our entire world can be reflective of high or low energy states. Certain types of food and alcohol in general can lead to low energy states. The choice of music that we listen to can predispose us toward a high energy state or an angry, resentful low one. The people we associate with can either raise your energy or lower it. Holding a thought of forgiveness in your mind can help raise your energy. Doing a charitable deed without telling someone can raise your energy. Being kind to another individual can raise your energy. Exerting hatred can easily lower it.
Dyer says that you will know how your energy state is when you see its impact on those around you. Do you elevate or lower their energies? Here are hopefully some of the effects that a high-energy person can deliver to those around him/her:
1. Your presence instills calmness.
2. Your presence leaves others feeling energized.
3. Your presence allows others to feel better about themselves.
4. Your presence allows others to feel unified and connected to one another, to nature, and to all humankind.
5. Your presence instills a sense of purpose.
6. Your presence allows others to trust in authentic personal connections with you and with others.
7. Your presence inspires others to greatness.
8. Your presence aligns others with beauty, i.e., you help others see beauty everywhere.
9. Your presence instills health rather than sickness by radiating a healing energy.
In the effort to understand energy levels that have stretched across the bounds of our collective humanity, Dyer talks about research conducted for over 20 years by David Hawkins, M.D. in his book, Power vs. Force. Hawkins argues that 87% of humanity calibrates toward a low energy state. The higher up the ladder of energy, the fewer individuals exist in that sphere. He argues that a select few spiritual leaders can lead to vibrations that energize multitudes of people and that can influence all of humankind. The following comments are one of the most profound that I have encountered. I am going to repeat what Dyer quotes of Hawkins’ research:
• One individual who lives and vibrates to the energy of optimism and a willingness to be nonjudgmental of others will counterbalance the negativity of 90,000 individuals who calibrate at the lower weakening levels.
•One individual who lives and vibrates to the energy of pure love and reverence for all of life will counterbalance the negativity of 750,000 individuals who calibrate at the lower weakening levels.
• One individual who lives and vibrates to the energy of illumination, bliss, and infinite peace will counterbalance the negativity of 10 million people who calibrate at the lower weakening levels (approximately 22 such sages are alive today).
•One individual who lives and vibrates to the energy of grace, pure spirit beyond the body, in a world of nonduality or complete oneness, will counterbalance the negativity of 70 million people who calibrate at the lower weakening levels (approximately 10 such sages are alive today).
I encourage and exhort all of you to climb with me toward higher and higher energy states so that we can influence scores of people around us to do the same! Raise your energy today and make it as positive and radiating to every person you encounter that you can! Remember that higher energy does not mean a nervous, caffeinated, active state. It is in fact quite the opposite: it is a calm presence that quietly radiates peace, love, kindness, strength, and hope to all. The more that you work on yourself and get to that higher energy state, the more that your high energy state will shine like a beacon to all around you. I believe my high energy state is felt by all who read this blog, and I can then facilitate my readers to affect the spirit of multitudes beyond them.

What an interesting topic, Dr. Lam!
I really think there is a lot of truth to this energy theory about having less energy when thinking negatively and more when thinking positively.
I’ve noticed that if I am excited about something, I tend to have much more energy than I would if I was just normal. I’ve also noticed that if I’m depressed about something, I will have less energy and feel more tired than I would if I wasn’t.
I am sure that someone’s energy can be contagious too. I know yours is, Dr. Lam!!
I didn’t really understand Dr. David Hawkin’s statistics though, about people with high energy levels counterbalancing a certain number of people’s negativity based on their level of energy. I totally understand that someone’s positive energy can influence those around them to be more positive, but I guess I just don’t understand how an actual number can be figured from this. I wonder if it is counterbalancing the negativity that certain people have for a particular movement, like what Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. did to overcome the opposition to their causes, or if it is counterbalancing people’s personal negativity on life, etc. by radiating one’s energy to influence a certain number of people to have a more positive outlook. Maybe I am trying to put this in too definite of terms… Anyhow, that was great that you mentioned that a high energy state is not a caffeinated, nervous, active state. I think sometimes people might get that mistaken.
Dr. Lam, I think you’re one of those sages.
Great blog post!!!! as usual
great comments. i myself do not understand his research since i am passing it on to you via dyer’s thoughts. i think it is a neat idea that a truly positive individual could have such wide-reaching impact. i think i have been blessed to do some of that work via these blogs in a more concrete way than as you put it “new agey” type of thinking purports. i have no idea how he came up with such numbers. just interesting nevertheless. i don’t think i am one of those sages, but i am happy that my blogs can have wide-reaching import and impact for others!
Yes, you do a great job of making these blogs concrete. Totally! Thanks for all your hard work putting them together for us to read.
It is interesting that positive energy can have a huge impact on others.
Now, let’s not be so modest here, Dr. Lam…lol
I am sure that you influence TONS of people to have more positive energy!!! Probably more than a lot of people! This puts you up there among the sages!!..lol
okay young lady. thanks for the compliment! you have become a sage too in helping your sisters. thanks for being my sage to help others!
Hey, Dr. Lam, didn’t mean to sound sassy there. Just making sure you get the credit you deserve.
Thanks for the compliment.
sassy and brassy are fine. keep commenting! thanks for the new comments. love it!
