“Out
of need springs desire, and out of desire springs the energy and the will to win.”

Denis Waitley
At
the core of all matter lies energy, and the human body is no different. The energy
body is a template for the physical body. Core Energy is the balance of your physical,
emotional and mental energies. For instance, emotional energy resonates with life
and spiritual experiences, personal and professional relationships, and belief
systems, which becomes literally encoded in your spirit and cell tissue.
Physical
energy is the fundamental source of fuel in life. If you don't have enough
physical energy, you won't have adequate emotional and mental energy. That's why
it's imperative to eat right, get enough rest, and exercise regularly. Making
that commitment will give your body and mind the best kind of energy.
Mental
Energy is the ability to concentrate, to be productive at home or work, or
to stay motivated to take daily challenges as an opportunity to learn and feel
productive in today's hectic non-stop society. A little bit of stress can actually
be good. It can propel you to meet a deadline or prepare for a presentation. However,
over time and if not handled well, stress can negatively affect your mental health.
We experiences stress when we have financial, physical or emotional pressures
from time to time. Pressure is what is happening to us, but stress is how we react
to those pressures. To maintain a good level of mental energy, we have to know
how to manage stress. This doesn't mean eliminating the pressures, but to manage
our emotional reactions to them.
Emotional
Energy is about feeling self-confident, young, appreciated, and deeply connected
to the fun and hope of life. Emotional Energy is the result of the balance of
your mental and physical energy. Emotional Energy is the happiness of your heart.
Lack of emotional energy is a big issue these days. Most people live under
a lot of pressure, to earn more money, to be skinny, to exercise and to look young.
They put out a lot and often don't get a lot back. Most people feel overwhelmed
by relationships and job responsibilities because their emotional energy is low.
As a result, their relationships are the first to suffer, because we take them
for granted. It's not just in our relationships. Many of us are running on empty
-- and for good reason. We're working harder and for longer hours, too. We have
a lot of fears to cope with, everything from lack of money to terrorism.
Spiritual
Energy is not a religious or metaphysical type of energy but the energy we
get when we have purpose in life. Regardless of your spiritual beliefs, purpose
is a necessary ingredient to live successfully. Purpose fuels your spiritual energy,
which is the most important and most powerful form of energy. Purpose is a key
to success and happiness. Purpose is the meaning of life. Purpose is the key that
will unlock all your possibilities and potentialities. Having a clear purpose
will help you perform as if your very life depends on it. The heart of the matter
is this: You are spending the ONLY life you have to live. The question is what
is your purpose?
Are
you conscious of your purpose? Are you truly inspired every single day? If not,
you need bigger, bolder and clearer goals in life. Having clear goals is the first
step to achieving a strong sense of purpose and greater spiritual energy.

HOW
TO MANAGE ENERGY LEVELS
According
to neurobiologist Candace Pert, emotionally-charged thoughts and experiences cause
the body to manufacture different neuropeptides, chemicals triggered by emotions.
Researchers at the Institute of HeartMath (Boulder, Colorado) found that heartfelt
emotions (even emotions associated with memories) raise DHEA and IgA levels while
negative emotions lower both. However we use our life energy, whether we use it
to promote bitterness and fear or joy and love, manifests in our biology.
Now
that you are aware of what zaps and charges you, let's take it a step further
and discuss specific strategies you can use to manage your physical and mental
energy.
First,
you must know that the energy of your body will be balanced and free-flowing when
you learn to manage your emotional, mental, physical and spiritual needs.
Second,
everything that exists is energy. The entire universe is intelligent energy including
the thoughts in our minds, the cells in our bodies, plants, animals, weather,
money, planets and galaxies. We live in an infinite ocean of living intelligent
energy and moreover - because we are components of it, we are intelligent energy.
Quantum physicists speak of it as quantum reality; spiritual traditions speak
of it as spiritual reality (God, Tao, etc). What you need to keep in mind is that
our thinking affects what we call "physical reality". The activity of
our mind is thought. We are always acting because we are always thinking. At all
times we are using energy to either drawing things to us or we are pushing them
away from us. In the ordinary individual this process goes on without his ever
knowing it consciously, but ignorance of how the universe works (intelligent energy)
will excuse no one from its effects.
Third,
your self-image reflects the energy that you want to attract into your life. What
goes around comes around. Positive thoughts, words and actions will attract positive
outcomes. Core Energy is a healthy self-image based on the integration of physical,
mental and spiritual energy.
Four,
your energy follows your thoughts. The moment you think a thought, you are exerting
an influence because energy follows thought. The extent of your influence will
depend upon the energy invested in the thought you think, and any other relevant
thought.
Everything is interconnected - and that is why you already are influencing
everything - from your own mental, emotional and physical wellbeing to someone
else's - regardless of whether that someone else is physically present or not.
Basically, the Universe in which we live is mind-like in nature.
Five,
you are responsible for your thoughts, feelings and actions. The consciousness
of core energy has different names, including Ki, Chi, Chakras or Spirit. Proper
training and stimulation of core muscles creates a dominant source of energy (core
energy) which acts like the force of gravity. Core energy is a process that starts
in the mind and is reflected in the way we use energy in our daily activities
such as eating, working, studying or playing sports.
