The Exploding Expanding Electric Dynamic Urge

Inside every one of us lives a massive current of energy. I call it the Dynamic Urge, but it’s been called many things: spirit, soul, creativity, Shakti, spanda, God, flow.

The words don’t matter.

The experience does.

Dynamic Urge is precious. It’s the breath of the Creator moving through us, housing our spirit, calling us forward. It has direction, momentum, a place it longs to go. When we ignore it or hold it back, we don’t just stall out, we suffer. We slide into depression, spiritual fatigue, or a quiet ache that hums beneath everything we do.

Here’s the truth. This massive creative life energy must go somewhere. Say that again. It must go somewhere.

What happens when a massive amount of energy seeks release?

Think volcano.
Think tornado.
Think tsunami.
Or, on the brighter side, think fireworks.

The Many Shapes of the Urge

In my years of working with hundreds of clients, I’ve seen how this inner energy varies from person to person. Everyone alive has some level of it, but for some, it’s a gentle stream, and for others, a rushing river. It makes me sad to see how many claim the diagnosis of ADHD as if it were an illness instead of this dynamic life force trying to find expression.

Some people find deep satisfaction in small goals well executed. Others can’t rest. They burn with purpose. They don’t just want to write a song, they want to compose an opera.

A poem is lovely, but a book would feel truer.

When that vital force goes unused or unexpressed, it turns on us. It becomes anxiety, sadness, or that haunting sense of not enough.

When the Energy Turns Inward

Recently, I worked with a brilliant woman who was driving herself crazy with undirected Dynamic Urge. She would start and stop, sign up for new trainings, chase new ideas, judge herself harshly, and end the day numbing out with wine. Her state was so extreme I finally said, “It’s like you’re chewing your spiritual fingernails.”

We laughed, but later I realized how true that was. When the energy can’t move outward, it begins to feed on the self, spiraling into dark thought loops and self-criticism.

Another client was about to invest in a very expensive life coaching program. It might have been a great choice except for one thing: she already had eight certifications in various modalities she never used or mastered. That’s not growth. That’s energy trapped in a loop of almost.

Oh it is such an itchy, restless feeling, that moving dynamic urge.

Studies show that people who can’t harness and direct their creative life force experience higher stress and lower health. This energy is meant to move, not stagnate.

Why This Matters

Why am I so concerned with the Dynamic Urge?
Because it’s everything. It’s the pulse of creation itself, the thing that keeps the world alive through us. And I want you to see it, feel it, use it, and expand it out into the world.

Heaven knows, we need dynamic creations right now.

Reflection

Find a few quiet minutes today. Sit where you can breathe and feel your body. Ask yourself: 

Where in me is the energy building with nowhere to go?

What might it want to become if I gave it space?

What small action could I take that would let it move through me freely and honestly?

Then listen. Not for the loud answer, but for the steady one beneath it—the one already moving toward creation.
