Working with Energy

It’s so funny…”Energized” was the theme picked for this month, two months ago! And as I sit here writing to you from my daughter’s ballet school, I’d be lying if I said, “I am energized!”

If I consider my body, I feel an ache in my right arm; a tight back and jaw; irritated, crossed, strained eyes; an over-caffeinated, sluggish mind.

However, when I take a moment to shift my mind away from how my body feels to my intentions for this newsletter, for my business, and my goals for the future…I feel excited, hopeful, focused, and energized!

Considering energy

We all took science classes where we were taught the elements of energy. But what about the essence of energy? Is this different? Or are the elements and the essence of energy the same? Is this a concept you’ve mulled over lately, or ever?

Consider…

• What is your physical energetic body? The food you’ve eaten, your physical body, the blood rushing through your veins, your muscles, your painted finger and toe nails…?

• What is your subtle energetic body? Your chakras, your aura, the vibrations in your veins, your mood, your mind, your Spirit…God in you?

• How do you come by or receive energy? Food, love, exercise, sunlight, a swim, sleep?

• How do you share energy? Hugs, positively-charged spoken words, watering plants and flowers, cooking meals?

• If you were to close your eyes and imagine a current of positive energy pulsing through and around your body right now…how does that feel, what does it look like, and what will you do with this information?
