Everything is Energy, Including Happy Entrepreneurship

Are you tired? Feeling weighed down? Under intense pressure? Frustrated? Lonely? Confused and unclear about what to do next?

Welcome to the human reality of trying to create a life on your own terms.

But, really, it doesn’t have to be like this. We can make the life we want in our hearts really happen. And it doesn’t have to hurt, it can feel like love. I believe this with all my soul. There is a way to finally relax, flow, and experience the joy we know is possible.

It just doesn’t happen with thinking.

We’re in a new world right now. The era of full-time jobs is almost over. Every day, a smaller percentage of the population is in a full-time job. A larger percentage of the population is looking at themselves and their own life and asking with an internal scream, THIS IS NOT WORKING, HOW DO I CREATE WHAT I WANT?

Most of us try to answer this question with a lot of thinking. But most of our thinking is subject to our own biases and fears. Still, we plow ahead with our minds, and eventually we get the idea to try some freelance work over here, try a contract project over there, start a local business, start an online business, get certified in this, take a course on that, doing whatever we can to make our life happen.

Welcome to the Era of the Multipotentialite.

Some of us succeed, some of us don’t.

I started working for myself in 2013 as a consultant with no idea how I would make it work. I thought way too much, lots of trials and errors, and it didn’t seem to work for a good while. But something changed. It started working. I started creating a lot more impactful projects and collaborating with amazing people, I discovered that I am a Spiritual Coach. It all changed when I stopped thinking so much and started feeling my Energy. This is the power that lights our way.

Making Our Multipotentials Work For US

The world is not yet fully set up for multipotentialism, but it’s getting pretty close. With a few clicks on a laptop the whole world of projects and freelance work is at our fingertips. You’ve heard this before. So why do some people still find it so hard to do anything meaningful with these resources? Because Energy.

The most helpful thing I’ve discovered in working for myself is that “everything is energy” has a huge effect on my success.

This not just the physical energy required to take entrepreneurial action. Your thoughts are also energy, just one tiny piece of your energy, yet it’s virtually the only tool we are taught to use.

Your emotions are also important energy. And relationships. Actions. Results. Outcomes. Light. Sound. Matter. It’s all energy! The whole Universe is made of it. And everything we experience and everything we want to experience is based on our energy.

This is not woowoo, this is physics. This is the most important conclusion of hard science in the last 100 years. Everything is one big connected Energy Field — it’s called the 0-point Field. Look it up. Or read “The Field” by Lynne McTaggert or “The Holographic Universe” by Michael Talbot.

We are all parts of this energy field. All the different things we experience are parts of this energy field. Of course, the spiritual masters have been saying this for thousands of years.

Everything you think, say, feel, decide and act on is based on your energy. And everything we want to experience in this world is a result of your energetic exchange. So where is the energetic support for Entrepreneurs?

Whenever I have struggled in making my own life work, it is always because I stopped managing my energy well. I stopped paying attention to the subtle layers of energy that make up my thoughts and emotions and connection to everything around me. I stopped working with my deeper self. In this situation, taking a new course or trying to push through and just work harder barely does anything. I just stay stuck.

But once I refocus on my energy and make changes on an energetic level, things on the outside begin to change automatically. Because everything is energy, including everything we want.

If you resonated with the first sentence of this article, feeling weighed down, frustrated, confused, under pressure, and even lonely, you have an energy challenge. Thinking a lot will not solve this challenge. Changing how you interact with your own energy is what brings you through to the other side where your joy is, waiting for you.

If we want to make your Multipotentialite life work great, we get there so much faster if we prioritise personal energy management.

I’m not talking about nutrition and sleep. What am I talking about?

Change Your Energy Field, Change Your Life.

There are hundreds of courses out there about how to do marketing, sales, online business, and freelancing. I’ve taken many. Almost none of them are actually addressing the root of what we experience in life: our energy.

So at Love and Profit, we’re changing that. We’re providing support for entrepreneurs at the energetic level. This is the support I know that I need the most and that can make the biggest difference in the shortest amount of time.

At a basic level, this is a very simple thing to do, and you can start on your own tomorrow. There are two main direct ways we manage our energy:

1. We purposefully work with our emotions
2. We participate in group intention

1. We Purposefully Work with Our Emotions

Emotional processing has changed my life. There are many books on the topic, sometimes called emotional integration. I share a list of books and an emotional processing technique in my podcast, Creating Love and Profit, episode 007.

Because there are so many resources already I am not going deep into this here. But here are the basics:

• You spend time each day to notice the emotions happening inside of you without judgment, without trying to think them away, without ignoring them, without avoiding them, and without sedating them.
• You sit and you find them in your body and you feel them fully, all the way, until they are done.
• Once they are done, the disturbance they are causing in your system is gone forever. Your thoughts, actions and experience changes automatically. What used to bother you or stop you doesn’t even seem relevant. Ways you were holding yourself back start to seem ridiculous. Things you hesitated about before you now jump into with joy.

Most people never experience this because they are terrified of feeling their own emotions fully and do everything they can to escape it. This is what most of us are trained to do by our parents and society. Much of the time this escape is totally subconscious. Notice you are escaping. Stop it. Make a commitment to welcome the emotions in your body whatever they are. Sit and feel fully.

You will find that emotions want to move! They will move through you and leave. And while this is happening even strong, hard emotions don’t feel so bad. With each emotion that moves out of you, your energy field your life changes.

You probably don’t believe that this is what happens or that big change can be so simple. That’s fine, don’t take my word for it. Find an emotional integration technique and try it for yourself.

2. We Participate in Group Intention

Emotional integration clears the blocks out of our lives, and frees us to focus on creating what we truly want. That’s where group intention comes it. When we share our heart intentions and support each other energetically everything happens faster.

Why does this work?

Everything is energy, so when we gather as a group with a shared energetic focus we literally change what we experience bigtime. In the moment of the process we feel so connected to each other. We feel spiritually high. And then each person is affected in the way they most need, spurred to ideas and action that benefits them long after the group meeting is over.

But it’s more than that, sometimes “magic” happens, serendipities abound, and solutions to problems appear out of “nowhere.”

Of course, it’s not nowhere. It’s the Universe and it’s always responding to our energy. This is also science. Read Lynne McTaggert’s, The Intention Experiment.

How do we focus energy in a group?

My favorite way at the moment is Intention Circles.

In our online community, we have one running that meets every 2 weeks. We focus on the energy we want to create in our lives and support each other by getting into that energy with our whole being together. This changes our feelings, thoughts, decisions, actions, and what’s possible. It changes what we experience in life.

One of our members, Shela, was the focus of our first intention circle. She shared how she was very stuck with a book she was working on and didn’t know what to do next or how to move forward. She had collected interviews as research but hadn’t written a word. She wanted to focus on experiencing clarity, ease, and love with her work. We held this intention for her. She said that at the end of the circle she was in tears feeling like she was completely seen for who she truly is, and felt so much peace.

One week after the circle she experienced a sudden energetic push to just start writing. She said she just closed her eyes and wrote. She ended up writing the whole first chapter of her book with ease and got the exact clarity she needs to finish the project.

Incredibly, there was a spillover effect. Her sense of peace and trust and alignment affected her relationships as well. She said that after the circle a huge problem she’s had with her mother for decades experienced a huge shift and they were able to connect and have a real conversation about their relationship unlike like any they’ve had before.

I asked her questions like, “How do you know the Intention Circle is what helped you?” She told me she was sure, because the feeling she had during and after the circle was so similar to what she experienced during the shifts in her work and relationship. Ease, clarity, peace.

These types of shifts are actually commonly reported by people who do work like this. This is why we’ve created a community for energetic support, and we’re seeing how far it can take us.

Here’s the basic format. Try this at home, with friends.

• We start by checking in with each other and connecting with each other through some deep breathing.
• One person each meeting shares a challenge. We don’t respond with advice, we respond with the feelings that we experience in our bodies while we hear the person speaking the challenge. We’re sharing the emotional energy of the challenge so that it can move.
• Then we transform this energy into what we would absolutely love to experience in our lives. Usually, this one person paints the picture of what they would love to feel in their current situation.
• Here’s where the magic happens: as a group, we hold the energy and vision of that person’s dream outcome. We see it and feel it together. We feel the energy of the ideal outcome in our bodies. We connect as a circle of people holding this energy like a giant column of creation. For about 7 minutes.

I can’t even describe how it feels to do that. We actually start to experience being fully connected to each other. We feel a surge of power and presence and support. Our energy moves into a place of new possibilities.

It feels so good that most people say they want those 7 minutes to keep going for much longer. Then we carry this feeling with us when we leave the circle and it’s like we see our lives and work in a whole new light. A light that shows us the best path to creating what we want.

Just like it’s easier to give others advice than to follow your own, just like it’s easier to see yourself more clearly when you have a coach or a friend mirroring for you, it is so much easier to access the magical creative energies of love and abundance when we are focusing on someone else and they are focusing on us. Group intention changes our reality.

Your Turn. See For Yourself.

With Friends:

Start a group. The world needs this. If you need more inspiration, here’s another resource for you: read The Power of 8 by Lynne McTaggert — the blueprint is all there. You can tell I’m a fan of her work. Or read The Intenders Handbook by Tony Burrows.

With Us:

If you don’t have people you can try this with, you can try it with us. Contact me at davidpapa.live/about if you are interested.

With Yourself:

If you’re not ready for group work, at least create a daily commitment to your own energy management.

Work with your emotions and then work with your intentions, every morning. You can even ask your spirit guides to sit and intend with you. That’s not a joke. You have them, and they want to help you.

Do Something with Energy:

The main point is this: Everything is energy. Including everything you think and do, including everything you want in your life.

If you want to step into the greatest version of your Multipotentialite self, the fastest way is to master your energy and everything starts falling into place so much more easily.

Love, David
