When a client recently told me of her delight and pleasure after attending the ABBA avatar show and commented on how amazing it was that what was essentially light could produce an appearance of solidity in those four projections my breath, my heart, my whole being paused for a moment. I was uplifted. I felt her words confirmed my belief about our reality. What she understood at the Abba Avatar performance reflected that we are essentially beings of light, luminous energy beings, who appear as solid.
The Dance of Light and Solidity
At the heart of our physical experience lies the interplay of light and matter. The world around us appears solid and tangible, yet modern physics has unveiled a much deeper truth. According to quantum theory, at the subatomic level, matter is comprised of tiny particles called quanta or photons – packets of energy that behave both as particles and waves that are, in effect, packets of potential. In the ABBA avatar show, light projections conjured the illusion of solid forms, blurring the lines between reality and artifice. Similarly, our physical forms emerge from the dance of particles, vibrating and interacting to create the illusion of solidity. We are ephemeral emanations of light temporarily manifesting in this physical realm.
The Essence of Light Beings
The comparison between the light projections and our existence as beings of light may seem far-fetched at first, but various spiritual and philosophical traditions have long hinted at this concept. In ancient cultures, light has often been associated with the divine and the source of all creation. Many spiritual teachings speak of an inner light, a divine spark within each individual that connects us to something greater.
Energy medicine traditions, which aim to restore and maintain balance in the body’s energy systems, also emphasise the significance of light. These practices posit that disruptions in the body’s energy flow can lead to physical and emotional ailments. By channelling and manipulating energy, healing practitioners seek to restore harmony and promote well-being.
How often, after participating in an energy medicine therapy such as EFT, acupuncture, Reiki, mindfulness meditation, kinesiology, sound or chakra healing, regardless of the physical or emotional experience, do we express or hear “I feel so much lighter”.
It’s Who We Are
The notion of light beings offers us an opportunity to view ourselves and others with a sense of interconnectedness and compassion. By recognizing the intrinsic luminosity within ourselves and all living beings, we can foster a deeper appreciation for the beauty and interconnectedness of existence. Energy medicine techniques allow us to tap into this luminous aspect of our being, fostering balance, healing, and well-being. By embracing the notion of being light beings, we embark on a journey of self-discovery, connection, and appreciation for the wondrous tapestry of life.
So the next time you gaze at the world around you, perhaps remember the light within, and let it illuminate your path with joy and compassion.
