Are all vibrations “good”?
Well, if they can cause destructive earthquakes... then maybe not. But really, what is "good" anyway? In class we talked about how some people are trying to understand the vibrations of different objects to prevent the destruction of them by earthquakes, wind, etc. On that same note, it could be really powerful if one day we could use the vibrations of different objects to release energy. If so much energy is stored in matter, that would be a way of tapping into it, right? To create an identical vibration with wind power could release a lot of that stored energy, and we could use it to do great things! So these vibrations... depending on how they are used... could be very good.
Resonance in my world
I have a very specific resonance. And I know people who have a broad range of resonances. I am picky about food, clothes, living situations, people I hang out with, etc. My sister is very un-picky about all of those things and more. Broadening my resonance(s) is something I am always striving towards, as I am less of a resonance chameleon than most. I remember when I first came to AIMC, I could tell who I would be good friends with, and who I would be just acquaintances with right away. It's held true for the most part, 2 years later. Is this science? Is it a genetic science? Can some one's resonance be tested?
I was thinking about the science of resonance in popular culture, and I believe it explains many cliches- "It was love at first sight" .. "You could cut the tension with a knife" .."She had bad vibes".. "We didn't mesh right".
Connections I can make between Energy and Qi
I have a hard time explaining the concept of qi to anyone, so I usually avoid it. To be honest, I don't totally get it myself. But, I mostly think of qi as transformative energy. It is energy, and it is more than energy. It is constantly changing. Energy can be stored in something, but qi is constantly coming through us and moving through things and constantly flowing, and constantly transforming. Qi is the manifestation of all that is.

hey laura- i appreciated your posting on resonance, and especially enjoyed your inclusion of the cultural cliches. i hadn't thought about it before, but you're right- resonance is exactly what they're talking about. also, i've also experienced a certain knowing right away about what kind of relationship i might have with someone upon meeting them. although sometimes i've found elements of my own judgement or inability to stretch to be the real cause of my not feeling a resonance with that person, more often than not i just trust that i am drawing the perfect people into my life for what my soul is wanting to learn, and the resonance i feel when i meet one of those folks is a big 'yes' from the universe.
Hi Laura,
I love the idea of tapping into the energy of something by resonanting with it...your idea makes me think on the human level -- it can be a conscious choice with human relationships, to expand your own resonating frequency and end up getting to know someone you wouldn't immediately think you'd "click" with. Sometimes I'll force myself to be nice to someone who seems really grumpy, and then their energy changes and suddenly there is "resonance".... or at least a lightening of energy and a smile. :)
