Your energy impacts your audience
creating a ripple effect + social media in the Age of Aquarius
Have you ever noticed something on social media totally shift the tone of your day? Whether it was a story shared by a friend, or foe… Or a debate in the comments, the energy we encounter in the content and conversations we see online, can undeniably stay with us, long after we've tapped out.
This phenomenon, known as emotional contagion is a well-documented part of our interconnected digital lives. It’s good for us to take a moment to stop and think about the true impact it is having on us both personally and collectively, day to day - and to consistantly consider the pro’s and cons of this reality.
Research by psychologists Kramer and Guillory in 2010 shared how emotions expressed online, influence the feelings of others and create shared experiences that far transcend our physical boundaries. This understanding is now being used by businesses, marketers and governments alike to try and manipulate the way you think, the way you behave and the way you spend your money.
But we can also take this power into our own hands and use it positively, as well as ethically, to enhance the lives of those around us, and those connected to us online.
Something that I am constantly exploring is how to make sure that my digital presence, and that of my clients and community, is a force for good. Also taking into consideration our personal wellbeing and that of others. It’s all about our intention and the way in which we use this 24/7 communication platform in the cloud.
Our interconnectedness especially in the digital realm, is going to become ever more pronounced… With this week’s Aquarius New Moon, and this year as we move ever more deeply into Aquarian energy, particularly with Pluto moving into a new twenty year cycle… Bringing with it big themes concerning humanity, technology, and collective improvement.
As we move into the Aquarian Age, it is going to be up to each of us to play our part in cleaning up, healing up and growing up. Upgrading our timelines to the prophesied Golden Age.
The Aquarian Age will be dominated by networks, and information. The key to the astrological sign Aquarius is ‘I know.’ This is the age of information. Nothing is secret anymore. All information is available at your fingertips. Where the Piscean Age was organised in a vertical, up and down structure of hierarchies, the Aquarian Age is organised in a horizontal network, opening the world up to true equality.

Is this the apocalypse, the great unveiling, the great shift, the great wave of change that so many different civilisations, cultures and religious texts speak of? [NB. As well as most of the spiritual community on my social media timeline and filter bubble… ] If this is happening now, during this period we are now in, bringing everything into the light collectively, we might just change the trajectory to a betterment of ourselves and mankind.
The Holy Grail is us.

In my second book (above) I also wrote about how the internet, social media and cyberspace can be seen as a precursor, a training ground for telepathy; a hive mind of data that mirrors access to inter-dimensional information, such as the akashic records, which many mystics and psychics also now suggest. And with Elon Musk announcing that his Neuralink brain chip, which will enable computer controlled thinking, called ‘Telepathy’ is now being tested on humans, I can’t help but wonder what may be coming as we move towards the 2030s.
Some say it is the return of our Atlantean psychic gifts and abilities, while futurists say it is the Singularity (where man and machine merge), but whatever happens we can feel that we are in the dawning of a new age, a new earth, a new time...
A new era that will see us awakening to the profound impact our behaviours have on the collective and the energetic imprint we each leave. The ripple effect we create as another aspect of the multi-verse or oneness… [And just you wait until I get started on simulation or holographic universe theories…! #digitalmystics ]
The Age of Aquarius urges us to transcend traditional boundaries and encourages us, as a global community to thrive on innovation, unity, and the betterment of all.
This vision can align wonderfully with your digital activities, where every post, and share holds the potential to either uplift or diminish a collective vibrational frequency amongst your friends and family, within your connections and contacts…
Just as a single drop can create ripples across pond, so too can YOUR energy, your unique essence, ripple across the vast expanse of your audience's consciousness through your content, without you truly understanding its impact.
This ripple effect holds a mirror to the power inherent in our digital presence.
Your words, shares, likes, and even your silence, contribute to the emotional tapestry of the world. You have the power to uplift, to inspire, to connect… But, like two sides of the same coin, you also possess the power to upset, to alienate, to trigger a whole multitude of feelings within others around what you share online.
The beauty and the challenge of our digital era lie in this profound interconnectedness.
As we navigate our online journeys, we must ask ourselves: What kind of ripples are we creating?
We must be prepared to consciously cultivate our digital activities and manage the energy we give and receive online.
By being more mindful and infusing our online interactions with our authenticity and essence, we can become beacons of light in both the digital, energetic and physical realms.
In this transformative era, your presence, your essence, your voice, and your actions are contributions to a collective journey towards a brighter, lighter future.
Embrace this role with intention, create your digital legacy as a beacon of your beingness in the multiverse.
In this new age, where every post, and every comment holds the potential to influence, we are honouring ourselves and each other as the guardians and custodians of the energy we share and receive.
Let us choose to be catalysts for positive change, creating ripples of hope, kindness, and inspiration that reach far beyond our screens.
Your presence matters.
Your authenticity matters.
Your energy matters.

This is an interesting read and I'll return to it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts :)
A question around this - do you think we are so disconnected from each other in real life we are desperately looking for something to bind us to other people?
We find new tribes online, we build ourselves up digitally and for many of us the idea of being someone without social media is inconceivable. Our identities are shifting away from real life to online because everyone is online. The hive mind is already starting to shape many aspects of our lives.
Interested to hear your thoughts on this.
