How can I harness negative energy?

Everything in our world requires balance. 

When we see a magnet, we know it has negative and positive sides. 

We do not judge the magnet and say, “Oh, one side of the magnet is good or positive, and the other side of the magnet is bad or negative.”

Instead, we understand that both poles of the magnet, negative and positive, are necessary natural phenomena that are required if we are to have balance. 

We can look at negative belief systems are similar in this way. 

Negativity impacts our well-being by playing into our fears. 

Each of us handles how we engage negative energy. 

There is an interesting analogy of the sponge that absorbs without choosing, sponges soak up whatever they come into contact with. 

We can end up like a sponge if we are unaware of how to work with negative energy.

Constantly absorbing without choosing and attracting more of the same energy we do not prefer. 

We can learn to circumvent these negative beliefs and energy and neutralize them so they do not play into our fears. 

Mindfulness is the key to balancing negative and positive 

Once we realize the ideas that keep us unhappy, we can break the negative thought patterns and use that energy to create joy instead of limitation. 

It may sound difficult initially, but it is possible when we are mindful of our responses to any situation, person, or thought.

Is negative energy evil?

Positive and negative are necessary aspects of physical reality. 

It is important to remember that the concepts of good and evil stem from a place of judgment. 

If we judge something to be negative or positive, it will impact how we experience it. Neither positive energy nor negative are good nor bad; instead, they are required energies. 

Mechanically speaking, positive energy integrates, unites, and unifies; it blends and harmonizes things, but that does not make it good. 

Negative energy is that which separates or segregates, but that does not make it evil. 

Negative and positive energy can be likened to a centrifuge and a blender. 

A centrifuge is a mechanical device used to separate things. 

Doctors, chemists, and researchers use them to separate blood and other substances. 

A centrifuge is not an evil tool but uses negative energy to separate things. 

A blender is similar because it spins but uses positive energy to combine ingredients into one unified mixture. 

When we are mindful of how we feel about ourselves or how we respond to others, it is beneficial to remember that positive energy unites and negative energy separates. 

Negative energy causes people to seek externalized control because they do not believe power comes from within. 

Positive energy reminds us we already have the power necessary to accomplish whatever we set our minds to.
