A question on Energy work?
« on: February 21, 2017, 11:01:27 am »
What in the world is a spoon?

Ive been doing some research on energy work and spell casting and I keep finding the word spoon so are we talking like a real spoon as like a conduit for energy? Or like what?

Thank you.

This is one of those kinds of questions where a link to what you're reading would be helpful (since different people and sources will use words in different ways) but I'm pretty sure in this case you're coming across references to Spoon Theory.

Spoon Theory comes from an article by a woman named Christine Miserandino in which she uses spoons (taking them from a container on a diner booth table) to explain to a friend about how she has to pick and choose what things get done in a given day due to chronic illness.

A lot of people with chronic health issues (and people with other chronic limitations on what they can do for other reasons) find the analogy at least somewhat helpful, and you'll often see people familiar with the concept say things like "not enough spoons" as a shorthand for "that's a thing I'd like/need/should do and I just can't" (or can't without shorting other stuff that has even higher priority).

If that explanation doesn't seem to fit what you're looking at, can you give some links or other information about what you're seeing (maybe a short quote?)
