Hi David Bourne, I'm not sure that meditation actually lowers this number. What does work is to disconnect from the collective unconscious, clear the energy leaks on our DNA, and dissolve the dysfunctional programs that contribute to the siphoned off energy. Once we know what to do, the results are amazing, more energy to fuel your dreams!
Our dreams need energy, life force in order to manifest in the world. Some dreams fizzle, they don't have the oomph to get going. By using our energy for our dreams, rather than being unconsciously drained, we can create more joy and delight in the world.
Thanks so much for reading and for your questions.
