“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.
