I mostly read fiction. I have a pile of books in my house waiting to be read, but most of them are mine: Christmas presents or secondhand books I've bought for myself. If someone loans me a book or is waiting for me to read it so we can compare opinions I automatically bump it to the top of the pile. For non-fiction I would like to have the same rules, but I'm aware my incentive might not be as high, as I tend to find fictional stories really fulfilling so if it was non-fiction I might drift away from it halfway through, or pick and choose certain chapters. That would depend on the topic though.

I like the idea of the energy work and I'm happy to be a name in a jar! I've been trying to send positive energy to people during my Wednesday mediations, although I don't really know what I'm doing. It's something I'm becoming increasingly interested in.

Books: If so instructed, I would indeed read it post-haste. If not, my book pile is ridiculous.

Energy: Thanks for asking!

If you gave me a book, I would definitely read it. I'm not sure if I'd read it within six months, though. I would make the effort if you told me it was an important to you.

Whether or not I'd read the book depends on how interested I was in it. I read more fiction, so the likelihood of me reading a fiction book soon would be higher.

I personally don't believe in prayer/God/higher energies/..., I'm agnostic. But I appreciate when someone says they will pray for me, because it shows I matter to them, and I don't know whether it might actually work.

I chose "other" because I think I would feel terribly guilty if you were sending me positive energy, using your own strength and kindness to do something that benefits me, and did nothing in return. I think there is always a balance of energy, and gifting energy is a beautiful thing, but I think some kind of even trade is more my speed

I really appreciate you feeling all this out and sharing it! When I do energy work I do not use my own energy, I pull from the universe at large or ask a specific being to send me energy to use. The only time I use my own energy is when I am deliberately connecting with someone, and it's more like I use my energy as another sense rather than giving it away.

I feel you on the sensing of energy you don't recognize, especially when that energy is trying to change something about you. My grandmother once sent me a card that had such terrible clinging wormy energy on it that it made me feel terrible for hours until I realized what it was and could consciously reject it.

awww, I am happy that you would like to be included :D I really am glad to have more LJ interactions with you nowadays!
