We do not fully comprehend how our diminished state undermines the body’s ability to be in charge of our daily interactions and, ultimately of our well-being. It leads to chronic fatigue and adrenal depletion. It may not be obvious to those who rarely deal with trauma. Therefore we are told to think


positively, and to be in control of our environment while we may be feeling that we are sinking or even drowning, unable to create change.


When your power leaks. I was going through my e- mails. “I will not be calling you to-night,” wrote Vicky in one of the messages. “I just finally managed to make my insurance agent leave after three hours of interrogation and I feel exhausted and positively decimated.”


I met Vicky during my presentation at an Energy Psychology Conference in


Toronto a year ago. She had a strong presence that commanded respect. An accomplished business strategist and an executive, she helped run multimillion-dollar companies and felt at home as a keynote speaker at international business conferences and a presenter in board rooms. But a week earlier she was in a car accident that totaled her car and left her body beat up, bruised and in pain. “I simply could not make the insurance agent leave” she confessed a day later during our phone conversation. “I was in so much discomfort, and I told her less then

half way through that I could not continue the interview, and that we should do it another time, but the agent kept saying ‘just a couple more questions,’ and it kept going on. I feel beaten up and violated.”


“Isn’t that out of character for you?” I asked. “It seems to me that under ordinary circumstances you would have no problem arranging what you need and showing the agent to the door.“


“Oh, no question about it! Ordinarily I would have done it in a second. I was always excellent in taking on any problem situation. But this time, I really do not know what happened. “


One thing was clear: the feelings that welled up in her of being helpless and powerless were not fueled by a defeatist or negative attitude on her part. In fact, she felt positive and optimistic about rapid recovery as she was enthusiastically pursuing various healing modalities. “I do not have time to let this setback derail me from my life goal,” she told me defiantly after the accident.


So if her helplessness did not stem from lack of positive attitude, what was it about? The answer is simple. Not only was Vicky’s body banged up during her accident, so was her energy field. Her biofield was impacted by the physical impact of the incoming car, by the pain of the physical injuries, as well as the fear of being self–employed and out of work due to injuries. Now toss in the loss of energy from dealing with the affront from the insurance agent. In this state of depletion something else has happened to this woman. Always steady, strong and collected, even in boardrooms run by powerful men, Vicky’s inability to exert control over the insurance agent was a sign of her loss of power.


The point of this story is that when your biofield leaks and you lose energy, you also could be losing your power. Power is a particular kind of energy. Power is our ability to maintain control over how others limit and mold us. It determines how we respond to our environment and carry out our interactions. Loss of power is concomitant with loss of energy, but there is a fundamental difference in how that loss affects
