What is nature? In this context, not just trees and weather. It’s the invisible intelligence that animates life. The part of you that doesn’t need your effort or attention in order to keep you alive. You might call it consciousness, or spirit, or energy. Whatever name you give it, it’s your felt experience of self—and it moves through you in a way no one else can replicate.

Most of us are taught how to live in the seen world. We learn to respond to energy only after it’s crossed the threshold into form. In this way of thinking, reality is made of objects, words, behaviors, and symptoms. But that’s only the surface, because everything visible is the result of something invisible. A gesture is not the beginning of movement, just as a word is not the beginning of communication. What we perceive outwardly is simply the after-effect of something more subtle. Energy precedes expression. Always.

Still, we spend much of our lives responding to what is already expressed, even as we instinctively reach toward its origin. That’s why we ask what someone meant, not just what they said. Or why we pause at an unexpected tone. Or why we wonder what triggered a sudden reaction. Deep down, we know that behind every expression lies a cause that may not be visible, but is no less real. Our bodies know there is an energetic source behind every material effect. In fact, no one ever had to tell you that you are, in essence, energy. You’ve always known. It’s in the way you speak.

“There was something off about them.”
“The room had a weird vibe.”
“I don’t have the energy for that.”

Our words reveal what we already are: energy, reading energy. ‘Vibes’ are real-time energetic readings. ‘Gut feelings’ are somatic truths. And what we often label as ‘being sensitive’ is usually our nervous system doing its job before language has caught up.

This attunement is only possible because each of us carries an aura—your personal energetic atmosphere. Your aura is the frequency of you, extending outward. It’s how you’re felt before you’re heard. It’s how your system speaks on your behalf, often more honestly than words. You can think of it as your energetic anatomy.

We already accept that consciousness is tethered to the body. When someone loses too much blood, we say they’ve lost consciousness. We understand, even if we don’t often say it aloud, that something vital rides along with that blood. That the body is not just a vessel, but a vehicle for awareness. If we follow that logic, it becomes easy to see that just as blood circulates through your physical systems, consciousness moves through your energetic systems. And just as your body regulates temperature or digests food… your energy translates fear into instinct, emotion into guidance, and resonance into self-expression.

Your energetic anatomy shapes how you make decisions, what you attract, what drains or energizes you, how you connect, and why you may feel chronically misread or misunderstood. Learning how it works is becomes a remembrance of how to move through life as yourself rather than surviving it as someone else.

Take the spleen, for example. Biologically, it filters the blood and houses the immune cells that keep you alive. Energetically, it governs instinct and your body’s immediate awareness of safety or danger. It’s the place in you that says no before the mind has words or reroutes your path last-minute, only for you to later understand exactly why. That’s splenic intelligence.

Or the throat. In biology and in energy, it is the threshold between inner and outer. Thoughts don’t become known until they are expressed. Feelings don’t shift a room until they move through the body and into behavior or sound. When someone “has a strong voice,” we’re rarely talking about volume. We’re talking about transmission. Energetic clarity. That’s the kind of power that shapes reality without effort.

Every aura is built with its own unique configuration of these centers. Some people are designed to process slowly and speak from emotional clarity, while others move quickly from gut instinct. Some lead with steady influence, while others provoke change just by walking into a room. There is no concept of better or worse energetically—only alignment or distortion, which is more accurately the presence or absence of integrity.

You don’t need someone else to tell you who you are. But sometimes, being reflected clearly can offer you the language you’ve been missing. Like reading a description of yourself and thinking, Wait. That’s me. I just didn’t know how to name it. In the same way a diagnosis can help contextualize symptoms and illuminate their cause, a clear energetic reading can help you trust the design you came in with.

This is the heart of energetic literacy: the ability to perceive and interpret the language of energy—first within yourself, then within others. It is a return to something native. It’s a part of the larger remembering that you are energy, moving within energy, learning to read the world by how it moves you.
