Since everything is connected, there is an intimate relationship between the atomic space around and within me, and the atomic space around and within you - regardless of where we are. On an energetic level, if I think about you, send good vibrations your way, hold you in the light, or pray for you, then I am consciously sending my energy to you with a healing intention. If I meditate over you or lay my hands upon your wound, then I am purposely directing the energy of my being to help you heal.”” [Jill Bolte Taylor](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/jill-bolte-taylor/) ## About This Quote This interpretation was drafted with AI assistance.
