Many people talk and write of recharging on energy and how to exchanging energy and replenishing on energy among friends or circles of friends.  People are suckers for energy because they feel depleted most of the time and seek the company of high-energy type people as a way to recharge on confidence and “feel-good” attitude…

And I keep wondering:  “What is meant by energy in this case?”  What I am being told in response for a description of how we recognize a high-energy type individual and what you feel as you “recharge” is a physical feeling of being in a vibrating synchronization with the partner; feeling focused, active, and high in the company of the friend…

There must be a physical and scientific explanation for these personal encounters and the consequent physical and mental effects of meeting experiences.

What I know is that the only kind of energy that the body exchanges is heat; we might as well sit beside a heating implement.  Maybe a few people radiate magnetic fields at longer distances than others to affecting the electro-magnetic constitution of an audience and equilibrating their energy levels.  I doubt that we emit gamma rays that would kill our audience.

The valid cause in recharging must be internal, sort of internal combustion.  When we meet with particular people, their body language, voice, and conversation trigger the mind (body and brain) into activating an array of hormones that fire networks of neurons and nerves and re-establish adequate internal energy level.

My hypothesis is that high-demand physical activities store hormones, such as capacitors in electrical wiring.  When we meet friends and engage in high-powered intellectual activities and conversation then, the hormones are released and we feel recharged.

The difference among demanding physical activities done alone, with strangers, or with circles of friends is that in the latter category the hormones and chemical energies are not simply stored but activated as the physical activity is on.  You can consider the metaphor of a container and a hose:  The activities done with circle of friends is like a hose; the energy captured from any source is immediately flowing through the hose to whoever need to be recharged; there is no need to store anything.  It is kind of hormone activation and exchange reach optimal levels due to learning practices and frequent application.

Consequently, it is the meeting in conversation (mental engagement) that recharge people while the vigorous physical activities restore the hormone and chemical energies.

Someone was describing her dissertation on neurological experiments and she claims that mental activities are higher after a vigorous physical activity like jogging, meaning a person makes fewer mistakes on specific mental tasks.  It must be an expensive experiment since MRI technology is used for every subject in order to registering and recording neuron activities and blood flow to the brain.
