Yes! Although I find it interesting to think that more people are becoming aware of their energy in relation to politicians and what feels like satisfying, trusting energy. There’s many ways I think it’s been lost, and why that is. An idea for another piece I think!

I think we were well on our way to trusting ourselves and leaning how to, for lack of a better word, manage, our energy. Then we threw it all out the window around 2020.

Now I see a return.

I am extremely attuned to energy as well. I love this blend of spirituality with politics.

I think politicians are extremely adept at using energy. They manipulate it. Make it rise and fall. They direct it to their causes. They know how to generate “high” energy and “low” energy. They are masterful at it.

Citizens on the other hand…we need to learn how to master our own energy so that it is not easily manipulated.

Joanna, you make an important point - the energy and feeling behind political language is just as crucial as the actual words used. When politicians communicate with authenticity, care, and good intentions, it can build trust and engagement with the public. But when the energy is inauthentic or misaligned, it erodes faith in the political process.

Thank you Tinashe, I’m really glad that this resonated with you. Energy is so important and I’m surprised that this isn’t being discussed more within a political context!
