Are all vibrations "good"?
I feel like this question is limited by the larger question of "good" vs. "bad" and whether one believe they exist all together so I feel stuck in trying this question... Instead, I will write about the beauty/goodness of vibration and something I believe is interesting and related that I learned in my yin yoga training - every note's frequency, when played beneath sand, they each create different beautiful geometric shape. I don't think we can say that these are "bad" but definitely special and beautiful.
Resonance in my world.
Resonance reminds me of the fact that we are energetic beings, along with our own electromagnetic energy fields. I remember my yoga teaching training and teaching assistant training where we were taught how to prepare energetically before and after teaching/assisting a class and the instruction to sync one's breath with the other student's breath before making physical contact with them. Reflecting on this, it sounds like an attempt at aligning our own resonance with the other person's. More on this below...
Connections I can make between Energy & Qi?
Qi, energy, prana, life force, intentional energy and connection - there are so many ways to describe this and none of them doesn't do it justice. Having an energy healing father who is grounded in science, I have had what I think is a unique perspective on these subjects. I am reminded of my dad, who mentioned to me that a lot of his findings are from his qi gong practice, telling me (paraphrasing here) that, "The science just hasn't reached this yet," when discussing energetics and energy healing - but also adding that I shouldn't mention this!
I also think of meditation and acupuncture - having gone the longest I think in a while without a real acupuncture treatment, I feel like an addict in need of feeling that movement of energy/qi that I feel from both. During such moments, I can feel my qi/energy pulsating across my body. I was told that initially you can begin to feel it, and eventually one can direct one's energy in the direction they wish. I can currently feel this wave-like motion of my qi's flow of energy, but have yet excel past that.
I was too shy in class to mention, as was brought up during the discussion the direction I have felt my qi moving. Usually, I feel it sort of vibrating wave-life side to side, but there was a day during my yoga certification program a few years back that was meditation heavy, and ironically, I was also able to attend a workshop afterwards on how to advance one's intuition and kind of psychic abilities that was being held by an intuit at my yoga studio. I wasn't able to predict what was in the mystery box, but the session also had a lot of meditation, and I remember feeling my energy in a way I had never before... Usually in meditation, I see light expanding outwardly from my third eye area, but on this day, I felt as though I this time, that that light, and my energy, was pulsating in a clockwise circle. Full disclaimer here - I am not sure if it was before or after this experience (and I should confirm this with my dad), but my dad had told me that this is our body's energy path. I also believe a Buddhist teacher from my program mentioning (paraphrasing again/don't quote me on this one either) that Buddhists believe in our core/center line of energy, we have vertical energetic lines of energy that also include these sort of 'moving energy spheres.' This also reminds me of my yin yoga teachings, and the yogic "nadis" or "little rivers" of energy that are also tied to the Daoist/TCM energy channels. This is also tied to Kundalini yoga which also reminds me that my vinyasa yoga teacher also mentioned to me that Carl Jung wrote a book about Kundalini energy which just makes my thoughts on how connected all of these topics are even stronger - and wishing I'd gotten around to reading that! :)
