Hi Reader,
Energy is contagious.
You know this in your bones, even if you’ve never named it that way.
You’ve probably felt it before: the friend who leaves you feeling like you need a nap after coffee with them, the coworker who somehow spreads their pessimism with just a sigh, or the relative who you dread to see on Thanksgiving.
Most of us know what it’s like to be in the presence of “energy vampires.”
But by the same token, we’ve also had the opposite experience.
The people who light us up just by walking into the room, whose laughter makes us feel lighter, whose sheer presence makes us believe more in ourselves.
Energy is magnetic. It moves between us. It’s alive in the air between the humans.
Even when someone tells me they’re “not woo” or that they don’t believe in “energy work,” I know they’ve had these experiences too. What they’re usually rejecting isn’t energy itself, it’s that somewhere along the way they’ve had a negative experience of psychics, healers, or witches.
But energy? Energy is real.
Energy, as defined by the dictionary, is:
- the strength and vitality required for sustained physical or mental activity, or
- power derived from the utilization of physical or chemical resources.
Nothing really woo about that, is there?
In Liberation Magic, I define energy as the fundamental building block of reality. It’s what you’re made of, what I’m made of, what every object, thought, and interaction is made of. That’s not “woo.” Science backs this up. Physics tells us that matter itself is energy, vibrating at different frequencies. But you don’t need to crack open a textbook to understand this. You know it because you live it.
If you’re having a hard time shifting your own energy, remember that people are wired to be social.
What does that mean in practice?
It means we don’t have to be isolated, pushing ourselves harder and harder to feel better, think better, or “snap out of it.” Sometimes the fastest, kindest, and most effective way to shift your state is by stepping into resonance with someone (or something) else.
When a baby cries, one of the most reliable ways to soothe them is simply holding them close to your body so they can regulate with your heartbeat and breath.
That’s energy transmission.
When you walk into a concert and feel the entire crowd pulsing with rhythm, you don’t have to think your way into feeling joy, your body just syncs up with the collective current.
That’s energy contagion.
And here’s the part that most people forget: resonance doesn’t require physical proximity. You don’t have to be in the same room with someone to catch their energy. You can tune into them across space and time, through their voice, their art, their words, even their memory.
Energy is not bound by geography.
You can use this principle intentionally:
- Listen to a podcast from someone whose presence feels expansive, who opens up possibility in you just by the way they frame reality.
- Put on a song that carries the energy you want. Music doesn’t just shift mood, it literally shifts the chemistry of your body, your breath, your heartbeat.
- Read words that hold the vibration you need. A poem, a prayer, a book that speaks to the part of you that remembers who you really are.
Next time you’re struggling to move your own energy, don’t see it as a personal failing. See it as an opportunity to borrow a current. To let yourself be lifted, carried, reminded by the energies available to you in the world.
And don’t forget: Your energy is contagious too. A quick text, a kind word, or your presence in a room might be the spark someone else needs to remember their own power.
So notice, this weekend: are you spreading energy, catching it, or a little of both? What kind of current is moving through you, and what kind of current are you transmitting into the world?
This is where magic begins: in awareness, in play, in noticing. Energy is the canvas on which we create reality.
Are you ready to learn how to work with it, intentionally, powerfully, and in alignment with your deepest heart’s desire? That’s exactly what we do inside Liberation Magic.
Courage, truth, and infinite love,
PS: If you’re tired of pushing harder, Liberation Magic gives you a smarter way. It’s where you’ll learn how to shift your state without forcing, borrow currents that lift you, and work with energy in a way that feels intentional, kind, and sustainable. Come join us.

I don’t believe in magic, but I know that it works!
Magic is not a belief system, it’s a practice that works. Don’t believe me? Come try it out. If it doesn’t work, you lose nothing. But if it does… your dream life is about to begin!
