All of the energy from the Sun that reaches the Earth arrives as solar radiation, part of a large collection of energy called the electromagnetic radiation spectrum. Solar radiation includes visible light, ultraviolet light, infrared, radio waves, X-rays, and gamma rays. Radiation is one way to transfer heat.

The common forms of energy used in our houses are electrical energy, chemical energy available from fuels, food and energy originating from the sun. Electrical energy is transformed into many forms – mechanical/kinetic, sound, heat, light, and other forms of electromagnetic radiation – by everyday appliances.

The log’s energy can be shifted to a thermal store in the surroundings by burning it. The energy transfer occurs by convection (particle movement) and by radiation of heat and light. The battery’s energy can be shifted to a kinetic store in a spinning motor by electrical work.

Energy can be transferred (move from one location to another) and it can change (transform) from one type to another – but the total amount of energy is always conserved, i.e. it stays the same.

We can feel it. Every single relationship you have — friendship, romantic, spouse, coworker, parent, sibling — is an energetic connection and cohesion of energy. You are contributing your personal energy to them, and in turn, you are absorbing energy from their field.

6 Tips to Help Protect Your Empath Energy

1. Set boundaries. Having healthy boundaries is important for all of us, but if you’re an empath it can be particularly useful.
2. Give journaling a go.
3. Start a mindfulness practice.
4. Try visualisation techniques.
5. Get back to nature regularly.
6. Plan for emotion overload.

Most empaths are introverted though some can also be extroverted. Introverted empaths, like me, have a minimal tolerance for socializing and small talk. They tend to be quieter at gatherings and prefer leaving early. Often they arrive in their own cars so they don’t feel trapped or dependent on others for a ride.
