How Non-Loving Energy Influences Our Thoughts, Words, and Brain Chemistry

It's easy to assume that only our actions have an impact. However, the energy behind those actions speaks volumes even before they occur.

Energy is present before we speak or decide. Our thoughts carry energy, our words project it, and our intentions amplify it. When this energy stems from fear, control, jealousy, or insecurity, it doesn’t remain confined to one person. It transfers and affects others much more profoundly than we often acknowledge.

Energy: Information, Not Imagination

Each thought generates electrical signals in the brain; emotions add a chemical charge. Together, they create an energetic frequency that others subconsciously perceive.

This explains why:

• You may feel uneasy around someone who appears polite.

• Certain conversations leave you feeling drained instead of simply upset.

• Your body reacts before your mind comprehends the situation.

  
  

Your nervous system continuously reads energy, acting far before logic comes into play.

When Energy Lacks Love, the Brain Reacts as if Threatened

The brain cannot differentiate physical threats from emotional ones. Sensing non-loving energy prompts a protective response, altering brain chemistry.

Example: Critical or Dismissive Energy

Even subtle criticism or a lack of warmth can trigger:

• A rise in cortisol and adrenaline.

• Activation of the brain’s fear center.

• A reduction in serotonin, affecting mood stability.

  
  

Over time, this can erode confidence and emotional safety without any overt conflict.

Example: Passive-Aggressive or Manipulative Energy

When words contradict the energy conveyed:

• The brain remains vigilant, decoding hidden meanings.

• Stress hormones stay elevated.

• Mental fatigue increases.

  
  

This is why some interactions are exhausting, despite the absence of overt negativity.

Example: Anger and Resentment

Intense emotional energy is contagious. Through mirror neurons, your brain mirrors what it senses:

• Tension and irritability rise.

• The body concludes interactions feeling unsettled.

  
  

You might leave feeling anxious or off-balance without understanding why.

Prolonged Exposure Reshapes the Brain

While occasional encounters are manageable, repeated exposure is different. Familiar non-loving energy causes the brain to adapt:

• Cortisol levels stay high.

• Emotional regulation weakens.

• Sleep and focus deteriorate.

• The nervous system forgets how calm feels.

  
  

People may start living in constant alertness, mistaking survival for normality.

Loving Energy Signals Safety to the Brain

In contrast, energy grounded in love, presence, and authenticity has profound effects:

• Increases oxytocin, fostering trust and ease.

• Supports serotonin balance.

• Activates the parasympathetic nervous system (rest, repair, regulation).

  
  

Thus, kindness is soothing, calm people feel grounding, and safe spaces help us breathe freely.

Sensitivity to Energy

Sensitive individuals aren't weak, rather, they're perceptive. Their nervous systems detect subtle energetic shifts, a form of heightened awareness.

Key strategies include:

• Recognizing when emotions are not your own.

• Trusting discomfort as valuable information.

• Protecting energy through boundaries and grounding.

  
  

The Deeper Truth

Energy that is not loving is never neutral. Thoughts, words, and intentions carry frequencies that elicit a chemical response in the brain.

• Fear induces stress.

• Control breeds tension.

• Love fosters balance.

  
  

Be mindful of the energy behind your words, and honour your body's responses,

they are signals, not exaggerations.

Although invisible, energy's impacts manifest clearly in our brains, nervous systems, and residual feelings post-interaction.
