What the Five Elements Teach Us About Attracting Good Energy

How to Absorb Energy from Attention and Joy – A Taoist Perspective on Subtle Power

Understanding Energy Absorption Through Taoism and the Five Elements

I recently came across a fascinating post on Reddit. The author shared their experience of having a striking presence—what they called a “natural glow.” Often the center of attention in public, they posed an intriguing question:

Can I harness the energy that people send my way when they focus on me?

They also mentioned spending time with joyful children, wondering if they could absorb the playful, light-hearted aura around them.

What they described might seem subtle, but from a Taoist energy perspective, it’s very real. I’ve experienced it myself.

As an astrologer and energy guide with a sensitive constitution, I’ve always felt people’s energy—especially in crowds. Over time, I learned not only how to shield from chaotic energy, but how to align with uplifting frequencies and absorb vitality.

Let me share what I’ve learned.

🔆 Attention Is Energy in Motion

In Taoist metaphysics, Qi (energy) is always in motion. One of the purest forms of energy is attention.

Whenever someone looks at you, admires you, or thinks of you—they’re sending a frequency.

In these moments, you become a receiver of external energy. But in order to benefit, you must have the capacity to hold it.

☯️ Strengthening the Inner Energy Vessel

To absorb external energy, your inner vessel—known as the Dantian system in Taoism—must be strong and balanced.

• If you’re scattered or emotionally unstable, energy simply passes through.
• If you’re centered and grounded, you can actually store and integrate energy.

So attention alone isn’t enough. It must be combined with internal alignment.

💨 How to Work with Incoming Energy

Here are 3 simple, Taoist-inspired methods to absorb energy safely and consciously:

1. Anchor the Breath in the Dantian

When you feel attention directed toward you, pause.
Breathe deeply into your lower abdomen (Dantian area).
Visualize this breath forming a field of storage, where energy can gently collect.

2. Set a Gentle Intention

Internally affirm: “I welcome the flow of energy from the world and return it with peace.”

This turns attention into harmony—not extraction. You are co-creating, not taking.

3. Let It Flow—Don’t Force It

Trying to “grab” energy can cause blockages. Instead, let it flow through you like wind through trees.
You’ll only absorb what your field is ready to receive.

👶 Can You Absorb Joy from Children?

Absolutely. Children emit pure, unfiltered Qi. Their energy is connected to life force, not logic.

The secret? Don’t collect it—join it.

Laugh, breathe, play. When you synchronize with their rhythm, your own system naturally aligns with joy.

🏰 The Walt Disney Parallel: Energy Field Design

The original poster referenced Walt Disney as someone who “knew how to use energy.”

That’s true.

Disney wasn’t absorbing energy—he was building a resonant field. Parks like Disneyland are designed environments where joy recycles and amplifies.

This is the highest form of energetic mastery: not absorbing, but curating energy fields where vitality naturally flows.

🌱 Final Thoughts on Energy Absorption and Alignment

If you seek to receive more energy from attention, environments, or people:

• Strengthen your vessel
• Align your breath and mind
• Synchronize with joy, not chase it

Eventually, you’ll discover a powerful truth:

You no longer need to absorb energy—because you’ve become the one radiating it.
