NIKOLA TESLA

In yoga, they call it prana and every physical manifestation of life is considered to be infused with it. In Maori culture, they call it mana. In my Chinese culture, they call it chi or qi, and in the field of traditional Chinese medicine its considered to be the ultimate measure of our vitality. Whatever we choose to call it, were all referencing the same thing: energy.

Energy is this universal language that communicates without words yet is still understood and felt by all it knows when youre walking down the wrong path, when youre in a toxic relationship or when youre betraying your core values. And while its invisible, like the Force in Star Wars, it speaks what our words so often struggle to convey through emotion; after all, emotions are nothing more than energy in motion.
