Personal Development for Smart People Forums - View Single Post - Meditation: What's this "Energy" thing about?

Lanya · 06-22-2008, 04:38 PM

I've started going to a Zen sangha recently (actually, just yesterday), and someone I meditated next to today told me I had "good energy." I've heard comments about good/bad "energy" a couple times from other meditators in the past, too. I don't see myself trying to get more into it, trying to "maintain a good energy" or anything. But I guess I'm just curious.

So what is this energy? Is it some "feeling beyond the mind" phenomenon, or something else?
