How to Get Your Energy Back

Saturday, July 31st, 2010

You can’t escape the things that drain your energy. Every day you are exposed to things, situations and people that will drain your energy. You’d have to completely isolate yourself to avoid them, and that in itself would drain your energy! They key is to have plenty of things in your life that energize you. The more you have that energizes you, the less impact the things that drain you will have.

These are all things that go on whether you’re aware of them or not. Every day your energy is fluctuating. When you become aware of where your energy level is in any given moment, that not only makes you feel better, but it also gives you some sense of control – a way to return to a state of feeling good when something knocks you off track. So let’s look at a few of the things that can restore your energy: Read More→

We often talk about becoming more spiritual or connecting to the divine. How do we do that? We know about meditation or other traditional practices, but not all methods work well for everyone. Here is one way to find out your best way to communicate more effectively with a higher presence.

We each have a way that is easiest for us to process new information. Auditory learners prefer spoken words. Visual learners prefer written material or images, and kinesthetic learners prefer movement. This preference, however, is not how we create or become more contemplative. The sense, either visual, auditory or kinesthetic, that is our least strong one is the sense that helps us meditate and connect with our Source. Read More→

Our world, our entire universe and, indeed, your own daily life operates like a big energy-exchange machine. Ground-breaking discoveries in the field of quantum physics has begun to confirm just how this energy actually works. But, for starters, we already know that everything is made up of energy. Superstring theory, which the CERN teams working on experiments with the Large Haydron Collider will, in time, be confirmed experimentally, states that the most basic components of everything in the universe are superstrings of energy. You’ve got trillions of superstrings of energy that combine into particles, molecules and cells which, all together, add up to what manifests as the physical you. To quote the physicist Brian Greene, your superstrings are like violin strings. When they are all in tune, your life is like a beautiful symphony. But how often does that happen? How often do you feel completely in flow, that all is well, that you’re completely content and that all is simply falling into place for you? Isn’t it more often the case that some of your strings are out of tune and your daily life sounds more like a second-rate school brass band!

The funny thing is that, even though most people have no idea of superstring theory or, indeed, that we are simply comprised of energy, the ordinary man-in-the-stress (or, obviously, woman!) even uses common expressions that describe the physical results of our superstrings being ‘out of tune’. Strangely enough, these everyday expressions generally refer to the energy centres in our body which ancient mysticism describes as the primary or key energy centres, known as chakras. Let me explain what I’m talking about by way of example. Read More→

You’ve come to this article because you are searching for an “answer.” The specific answer you are looking for is different from that of other people, but at the core of our beings all of us are looking for the same thing: happiness.

We all do it, and sometimes the search is frenetic; sometimes the search causes suffering and misery. I compare it to a treadmill, because in the end it doesn’t actually get us anywhere. We frantically run for happiness that’s supposedly found in a lover; running for money and material possessions; running for status; running for knowledge; for our lost youth; for the latest technological knick-knack; for spiritual enlightenment.

I was talking with a friend the other day who’s having a rough time. She’s been working hard to bring a dream into reality, a dream she has held for years, and now everything seems to be falling apart before her eyes. There are roadblocks everywhere she turns. Not only has she been working hard on her dream with her head and hands, she’s also been doing the spiritual work of prayer and visualization to manifest what she wants. Still, nothing is working. As we talked, I could feel her pain.

I wanted to offer her a word or two of encouragement, an affirmation that would inspire her to push on in spite of what the world was throwing at her. After all, I believe as she does; that as spiritual beings, infused with the universal power and presence of the creator, we each have the capacity to bring anything we can imagine into physical form. In spite of this, I have seen many instances like the one my friend is experiencing. Are some dreams more worthy than others? Is it just a question of timing? Are the roadblocks we encounter along our life’s path simply there to test us, to make us stop and consider our options before moving on? Or, is there something else at work here?
