Using Energy Work in Meditation

In this fourth Consciousness Over Coffee, Tyler (Tyzen) Drake sits with elder and energy teacher Jon Hodge to unpack what’s actually happening when you bring energy work into meditation. Jon walks through how his practice shifted from quietly “going in and centering” to actively sending unconditional love and healing to a whole class on the exhale — until his body is vibrating and he’s about to “pop.” From there the conversation opens into source as wholly nurturing, the universe as an intelligent infinity always working back toward balance, merging with another person’s energy, and the downloads that arrive as blocks of information. A grounded, practical talk about getting yourself out of the way so source can move.

Moments

• “And it’s not me. Okay. All I’m doing is I’m channeling this source energy in, in a more direct way of healing.” — Jon Hodge

• “I go through an hour of this and I’m like vibrating… and at times I have to quit, I have to stop, right in the middle of class.” — Jon Hodge

• “I see this individual coming to me and I actually see them merging into my energy. And then I actually feel their energy with my energy.” — Jon Hodge

• “You have that fire energy. So I merged with you… you have this pulse that’s in you, and I’m kind of riding in that pulse.” — Jon Hodge

• “The true source of our being is wholly nurturing. It’s not selective about anything or anyone. It’s about balance.” — Jon Hodge

• “Quantum physics is proving this stuff out left and right. Like this is tangible and real. It’s just not necessarily common language.” — Tyler (Tyzen) Drake
