In this Phoenix Unscripted reflection, I sit beside the fire and explore a question that’s been on my mind lately: where does our energy actually come from?

We often hear spiritual teachings that say energy is infinite and doesn’t come from the physical world. But as someone who works closely with the body, I’ve been reflecting on the truth that our energy is more complex than that.

We are both earth and spirit.

Our bodies generate energy from the food we eat, the air we breathe, and the sunlight stored in the plants that nourish us. But we also have another kind of energy — the spark that comes from creativity, purpose, excitement, and connection to something larger than ourselves.

In this reflection, I share a recent experience that reminded me how powerful that energetic spark can be… and why a truly vibrant life requires caring for both sources of energy.

This isn’t a teaching episode.
It’s simply a reflection on what it means to feel alive.

In this conversation beside the fire, we explore:

• Why energy is such an essential part of living a vibrant life
• The difference between the body’s physical energy and our energetic spark
• Why denying the body cuts us off from an important source of vitality
• How creativity, joy, and connection can awaken another kind of energy
• Why both the physical and energetic sides of ourselves deserve care

If you’ve ever noticed that certain experiences leave you feeling completely alive — even when you’re tired — this reflection might resonate.

So take a breath, settle in, and join me beside the fire.
