HEALTH ergy drinks, supplements, and other substances to bring them either “up” or “down.” But there is more to it than that. As long as we think of energy that way, we suffer daily consequences which include: overall low energy, memory fatigue, brain fatigue, increased errors and conflict, insomnia (the number one negative influence on workforce labor), body pain, emotional concerns, attention/ focus problems, interrelationship problems, and the beginnings of many top shelf health problems. Good energy management begins with identifying whether we are experiencing any of these conditions and becoming aware of their causes. In the scope of these health issues, body energy (when mismatched) can be both the cause and (when matched) the “correction,” “the” cure or a significant part of the cure. From the perspective of the new mind-body-medicine, this last point will be determined by several factors, including the individual’s and his or her caretakers’ efforts, tool kit and understanding of the body’s full spectrum of energy mechanisms and influencers. Defining Body Intelligence Definition for my theory of Body intelligence begins with an understanding that the body is an incred- 19 | NEW CONSCIOUSNESS REVIEW ible, intelligent instrument. Like a tremendously capable antenna, it can proficiently and literally download energy from everything in its environments, including from within itself. Then there is the other half of Body Intelligence which involves – BQ – and which (like IQ) refers to the individual – the individual’s understanding of the body’s full energy spectrum, e.g. chemical, light, electrical, heat, sound, mechanical, and the subtle energies. And BQ also refers to the individual’s comprehension for how to access and use these. Sounds difficult, complex? But not really. How about fun and liberating (freeing you to get the energy you need easily, accessibly, and fast and not having to wait for catastrophe to hit and/or being bound to pharmaceuticals when unnecessary or being bound “so much,” as well as having to deal with invasive procedures, and fears. Who wants that? Even in difficult cases, one’s ability to access their full spectrum energies helps keep them more positive and if nothing else, there are mounds of research showing a more positive mindset will help the more conventional procedures, chemical and otherwise, to have a better overall effect. So understanding your full being energies is always a win, win situation.
