He watched them swing at different rhythms for a few minutes. Then, slowly, they began to synchronize. Within half an hour, they were perfectly matched. He separated them. They drifted. He put them back together. They synced again.
He called it entrainment. When two oscillating systems exist in proximity, the stronger rhythm mechanically pulls the weaker one into alignment. It requires no permission. No awareness. It is physics.
An energy practitioner who worked with empaths noticed this same force in her clients. They would build a stable internal state, then spend time with chaotic people, and within hours their nervous systems would collapse. They thought it was their fault. That they weren’t “strong enough.”
But entrainment doesn’t care about strength. It cares about proximity and amplitude.
The Hermetic Principle of Vibration teaches that everything is in motion. But modern physics shows that motion doesn’t stay isolated. If their frequency is louder than yours, you will match it. Mechanically. Automatically.
You cannot willpower your way out of a physics problem.
Distance is the only protection against entrainment.
Whose rhythm are you trying to resist instead of removing yourself from?
