Like a sponge, we absorb, not liquid, but energy. Each morning we wake up as a fresh, dry sponge, ready to take in the world around us. Throughout the day, we interact with people, various energies, and a range of vibration. Each time, we absorb energy — either a small amount or a great deal — depending on whether the contact is direct or residual. And when we are filled to the point that we can absorb no more, we sometimes feel like we might explode. We know this bursting point — it reveals itself in our over-stimulated, over-stressed, near-crazy minds. Sleep often releases the energetic buildup, yet meditation works just as well. Meditation throughout the day “wrings out” our soggy, spongy selves. Deliberate mindfulness in the present moment can keep us from absorbing things we don’t resonate with, so that we no longer reach the point of mental breakdowns or emotional overloads.

About This Quote

This quote is about our ability to absorb and hold energy. We absorb energy from the people we meet and also energy from the things we do. This quote comes from an article written by Dr. Paul Seligman, who wrote: “But the most important of the human resources is not a material resource but a spiritual one. It is a reservoir of personal qualities—the moral and spiritual resources which will enable us to deal with all the problems of life.” Those who have a high level of spiritual awareness have a lot more spiritual power available to them, so it can be said that those who have a strong spiritual foundation will be able to absorb as much energy as they need from their environment.
