Energy
within us and around us is very real. Have you ever walked into a room
and felt the energy in it? Sensed and felt the silence and somberness
of a library, the buzz and effervescence of a concert, or the love and
joy at a wedding ceremony? In the 60's and 70's they called it the
vibe' and now it's referred to as energy, but it's all the same thing;
waves of energy particles that vibrate at certain frequencies. And it's
not just in the locations we enter; it's within us as well. We are each
filled with energy which is affected by the foods we eat, thoughts we
think and emotions we feel. The higher our bodies vibrate, the
healthier we are. Therefore having uplifting thoughts and emotions
supports our overall mood and health.
Notice how you feel when you focus on problems in your life or
judgments of other people or situations. Now reflect on all the things
you are grateful for in your life. Think of as many things as you can
and notice how you feel. Those thoughts have their own vibrations which
affect your body's emotions which contribute to your overall flow of
energy. When your energy is flowing with ease and lightness everything
within you matches that. Imagine how healthy you would be living your
life from this place. And because like attracts like, imagine how many
wonderful things you would attract into your life from this energized
state.
At our true essence as spiritual beings we are naturally in a state of
ease, lightness and amusement. This gets clouded over by our analytical
minds and emotional bodies. When we forget who we really are we let our
analyzers run the show and allow our bodies to over react. This can
lead to complicated thoughts, judgments, and heavy emotions. Yet when
we reconnect to our true self and operate from this higher place of
wisdom and neutrality, we can easily redirect our thoughts, clear our
emotions and shift our energy. It's amazing how quickly and easily we
can do this when we are centered in our spiritual selves.
Experience this now by playing with the following
spiritual energy tools:
Centering:
Bring all of your awareness into the center of your head, back a couple
of inches behind your forehead. Notice the still peaceful quality
there. Now move all of your awareness into the front of your forehead.
This is often where we are concentrated when thinking and planning.
Losing ourselves in this space can feel busy and complicated. Move back
to the center of your head and find yourself there. By being in the
center of ourheads we are more aware of ourselves as spirit and can
access our neutrality and truth. From this place we can choose to use
our analyzers rather than letting them run us. We can also communicate
with our bodies and be aware of our emotions rather than becoming them.
Notice how you view yourself, others and life from this centered space.
Grounding:
Become aware of an energy connection between your body and the center
of the planet. Feel this connection flow from the base of your spine
all the way down to the center of planet and allow it to be as wide as
your hips. Being grounded supports you in being more present in your
body, having an appropriate level of energy, and allows you to release
any problems or foreign energy down your grounding.
Aura:
Your energy space doesn't just end at your skin. Surrounding your body
is an electromagnetic.. field of energy which is what you see through
and are seen through. By owning this space and being aware of the edges
of your aura you develop clearer boundaries. This supports you in
having more of your energy in your space instead of spreading it out,
depleting it. It also prevents others from moving their energy and
emotions into your space. Play with expanding and contracting the size
of your aura as a way to get a feel for it. Generally, having your aura
about an arms length away from your body, in front, behind, beside,
above and below will support you in owning this space for yourself.
Have Your Energy:
Your energy often gets left with the people, projects and situations
you have been focusing on throughout the day. To bring it back into
your space you can create an image of a gold sun five or six feet above
your head and imagine it's like a magnet calling all of your energy
into it. Then bring it down through the top of your aura and into your
body releasing all of your energy back into your own space. You will
feel more refreshed and replenished having your energy with you.
Shift Your Energy:
Become aware of yourself as a spirit in the center of your head and
play with shifting your energy from this place. Tune into your state of
ease and lightness as a spiritual being, then say hello to your body
and notice how it feels. If your body is feeling heavier than this, set
your intention to have your body match your lighter state. Here are a
few exercises to support you in doing this. Imagine having an amusement
dial which you can turn on and turn up the volume. Allow this vibration
of amusement to fill all the cells in your body. Create a dot of clear
gold in the center of your head and let it fill your whole head and
then your whole body. Become aware of the vibration of pure love and
let this energy flow throughout your whole body.
The more we operate through our spiritual awareness the more easily we
can shift our energy and create a healthy life. As the saying goes, we
are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual
beings having a human experience. It's up to us to decide who's in
charge; our spiritual self or our analyzers and bodies. From there we
create our own reality day by day, moment to moment.
