In knowledge economies, we are paid to think. In the industrial economies that often precede them, we are paid not to think e.g. the production line. The knowledge economy’s outcomes are based on our ability to think, innovate, create and implement.

Some folks refer to five energy drivers:

1. Move
2. Eat
3. Sleep
4. Relax
5. Connect

I think of the different kinds of energy experienced and utilised by humans as personal energy. I would categorise these as:

1. Physical energy
2. Mental energy; and
3. Emotional energy

Marie Diamond, who is an expert practitioner in Feng Shui, speaks about three different dimensions to energy:

1. Heaven Luck
2. Human Luck
3. Earth Luck

Heaven Luck - What is this?
Human Luck - Drive positive behaviour and actions
Earth Luck - Be in control of your space

The Law of Resonance

Your current vibration creates your future reality.

Your space acts as an amplifier of your vibrations. Your position in the space can amplify your power and vision.
