ENERGY BOOST!

Do you want to increase your energy? No I am not pushing energy drinks or smoothie recipes.

I am speaking about the energy that “is” us in reality. I believe that everything is Energy. We are beings of energy…….Love, Light, Gratitude, Appreciation etc. All of these are words that express the idea of the vibrational energy that is us as an individual being of light and love.

The vibrational energy of our being can be measured scientifically, felt by others, and realized with our feelings. Sometimes we feel “up” and sometimes “down”. We know that there are shifts and changes in our energy, and I am not talking about our physical stamina. We can be physically spent and have an extremely high vibrational energy. I am sure you can come up with your own examples of this!

So how can we increase our vibrational energy? What are some things we can do to raise our frequency to a higher energy level?

1. BREATHE. The simple act of consciously focusing on our breath brings us into a state of inner awareness. Our breath draws in the positive Energy of the Source of all Energy, the Divine creator of All. Just be mindful and breathing we can raise our energy level.

2. SLOW DOWN. Or perhaps I should say stop! We rush about doing so many things and it lowers our frequency and our energetic field is comprised. Even short moments of pause through out the day can do wonders to ramp up our Energy. For example, you are off to the store to get last minute things for dinner. When you get on the car, pause, breathe, relax, be still, do nothing for 60 seconds. Then go, and when you arrive do the same thing before you get out of the car. Same thing again on the way home. You have only added 4 minutes to your trip but you have raised your energetic self to a higher frequency. Well worth the time.

3. LOVE YOURSELF. Holy Scriptures tell us that to love others we must first love ourselves. There is an old song that goes “have I told you lately that I love you?” So I ask, have you told yourself lately that you love you? We are created in the image of, as an extension of, the Divine Source of All. That IS Love! Spend time each day saying, “I AM the image of Divine Source now expressing as Love. I AM this Love. I AM totally loving myself. I am fully knowing this truth. I AM LOVE.” Repeating an affirming statement like this shifts the focus and retunes our frequency to a higher vibration. Our energetic self, and those whose lives we touch, will be grateful.

4. APPRECIATE. The practice of Grateful Appreciation changes everything. Not only does it raise our energy level but it changes our world view. We can even practice Appreciation in the presence of things that are difficult, wrong or negative. If we choose to use those things to help us “see”, not what we do not want, but rather what we do want, then we can then focus our Appreciation on that which we want. It is looking at the solution and not the problem.

So my friends, let us Breathe, Slow down, Love ourselves, and Appreciate!! Our energy will increase and we WILL BE the blessing that is “us” to all we encounter. The energy that we live is the Love felt by all around us.

In Grateful Appreciation for you!!

Don.

    Thank you for your blog. I am on a journey. A journey to become a medical doctor. I will be taking the MCAT in 45 days. I’ve been studying and struggling for months. This morning a light came into my heart. I’ve been doing this all wrong. I have looked at this as a “test” and challenge, a conflict. Me against them, my mind against theirs in a game of mental one upmanship. Studying was a labor and “failure” on the practice problems were defeats. But I have been seeing this all backwards. This is not a test, it is an affirmation. It is an affirmation of all that I have learned and all that I have accomplished. There is a struggle, but it is internal. We have several different nervous systems, one division is the autonomic. It breaks into sympathetic vs. parasympathetic. The sympathetic is the energy of the beast: Fight, Flight, FEAR, (and the other F 😉 It is very external and very negative. The parasympathetic is the energy of rest. It is very centering, calming, and positive. And like all energies, they are vibrational states. I have come to realize that I live a sympathetic life, I live in a sea of fear and fight. But that is out of tune with my world. I am going to work toward moving toward a parasympathetic energy level. As a visible affirmation to help remind me of my journey I have chosen sky-blue as my centering color. I have long been fascinated with the idea of the tzitzit, and I think now I am starting to have an appreciation of God’s plan, even in the simplest of His commands for us.
