Stress is Contagious

Imagine yourself in the presence of someone whose ugly, negative energy brings down your own mood quickly. Many of us have someone like that in our lives. In fact, some of us may even be filling that role for others. The sad fact is that we can, even without meaning to, invoke harmful mental states in those around us. Because that’s true, then conversely our own healing can bring about a positive change in the lives of many others.

To better understand this concept, consider the well-documented effect of secondhand smoke on people who live or work with smokers. Just as continued interaction with a smoker increases the harmful effect on the body, continued contact with a negative, angry person can have a devastating effect on your own mental state.

How Can Unexpressed Emotions be Passed Along

Secondhand smoke, a dangerous pollutant, can be used as a metaphor for the toxic energy that flows from someone wrestling with painful memories and destructive emotions. Let’s look a little deeper at the transfer of negative energy that occurs when this person interacts with others.Many of us can recount stories of friends or family members who suddenly had strong feelings that someone far away was in danger. It’s been called “ESP,” or “The Sixth Sense,” or by Einstein himself, “Spooky Action at a Distance.”

Knowing what we now know about the field of quantum physics, it’s reasonable to state that quantum energy produced by brain activity moves between individuals. This transfer was recorded in 1994 in what is known as the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen study in which research subjects were briefly introduced then placed fifty feet apart so that they could not see each other.

Attached to equipment measuring respiration, heart rate, and other physiological indicators, the subjects were treated as follows: one had a penlight shone directly into his eyes as the other was observed for signs of stress. In a fascinating turn of events, both subjects experienced the same levels of anxiety.

The experiment has been replicated many times since, with the same result, no matter how far apart the subjects were placed. Although some scientists are still scratching their heads over how this could occur, those involved in quantum physics understand that energy transmitted between the two subjects caused anxiety at equal levels.

Ramifications of this New Understanding

How does this translate into how someone else’s negative emotions can cause harm? It means people can unconsciously influence those around them with the negative or positive energy flowing from them.

Carried further, it means that healing can also be facilitated in others by changing the level of anger, rage, sadness, or other negative emotions within our own hearts. This offers exciting possibilities, having the ability to have a positive ripple effect on those we encounter.

It means that a negative family history can be transformed by changing just one person’s inner heart. It allows us to offer love, forgiveness, and healing in the hope of positively impacting everyone we meet.

An Exciting Possibility

If each of us committed to healing our inner hearts and then purposely allowed that positive energy to flow to others, entire cultures could be changed. Guided by this concept, we can begin to find the help we need to correct the faulty images in our memories that bring us pain. Once we have made those corrections, we can extend that healing outward to bring relief to other people in our lives.
