REGAIN YOUR  ENERGY, EASTERN STYLE

Everyone seems to be looking for more energy.  You work long hour’s play hard, and are deprived of sleep, but your energy levels always seem mighty low.  Caffeine, Red Bull, and Gator aide don’t seem to help.

You live with unfulfilled dreams, guilt, and anger.  You are exhausted trying to cope with unresolved childhood problems.  Your defenses are beginning to collapse, and you have reached the breaking point.   Still, you keep trying to heal yourself, but are stuck in the past and cannot look ahead.

Your thoughts are very powerful, constantly focusing on feelings of shame, rage, fear, and sorrow in your life. You can’t skip over all the messy wounds, conflicts, and charged memories from your past.

As a child you were taught the world was divided with good and bad people, kind or selfish, rich or poor, healthy or sick. and smart or stupid people. Hopefully you have moved beyond this all black or all white thinking.

Your anxious mind only has thoughts of regrets and guilt from the past, and worries, fears, and dreams of the future.  You are not grounded in reality.

You condemn yourself and suppress your positive life force energies.  You forget how to feel the energy within yourself.   All this suffering and alienation, is causing you to live in disharmony.  You are attracted to other unhappy people, as yourself, who also have negative energies.

WHERE IS YOUR ENERGY?

Energy is called by many names:  essence, Ki by the Japanese, Chi by the Chinese, God by the Christians, consciousness by the Buddhists, and Tao by Lao Tsu. 

Mainstream science has no interest in the unseen and hard to quantify energies.  Science has dehumanized your world.  You feel isolated in the cosmos, no longer involve yourself in nature, and don’t participate in any natural events.

The energy concept is the basis of acupuncture, and has been around for 5000 years. Essence is another name for life energy. Energy medicine results in the vibration of our energy and that of the world.

By rebalancing  your  life forces, known as chi. you can redirect your energy and promote healing.   As an acupuncturist for 27 years, I have seen  energy rebalancing restore health to many patients.

Chi enters your body by breathing and by talking, which is an audible form of breath.  Placing needles at select body points altering the patterns of chi stimulates chi.  Taoist meditations with its mantras and deep breathing, chanted in deep low-pitched tones, also restores Chi energy. 

Sound and breath are repositories of your life energy.  They can be positively manipulated, resulting in your becoming centered again, and be “in the zone”.

Your essence is a fine harmonious vibration that lives forever and is indestructible.  The vibrational energy of this essence,, however, can be  altered and compressed by  your ego, denying the luminous energy of your soul.

WHO CONTROLS YOUR ENERGY?

 

Energy is like a guitar string with two ends.   One end is worldly and controlled by your ego.  The other end is infinite and spiritual, and controlled by your chi or spirit. 

Do you often find yourself going in opposite directions?  You are trapped between the connections to the infinite and your obsession with the finite.  Your goal should be to tune in and bring the infinite into the finite world.

When you are tuned into the finite material world, your wounds and those of others imprison you.  It is your birthright to be tuned into the infinite, bringing you into the present moment, free from depression, obsessivenss and chronic ill health.

You are faked out into believing you need specific thoughts to survive.  By fear and loss of identity, you cling to all these nasty thoughts, fearful you yourself will  be eliminated. Since your desires are satisfied, you feel safe and secure.  You must break out and “Be what you are”.

Your ego defines your world, by  giving you a set of thoughts.   You see the world from a little room with windows, your prison, where you are safe and secure as long as you don’t walk outside.

Your ego is always right, and everything else is wrong. Acting from your ego, you constantly notice conflict both inside and outside your body.  Ideas about yourself, fueled by your parents, teachers, and religious leaders, are repressed and unacceptable; but you stay in line.

Keeping your life meaningless, you stay isolated and disconnected. Your ego tells you the world is causing your suffering.    Despair and physical illness finally set in. You can’t connect with your universe, because of family problems and work pressures..  You must find peace within yourself; but how?

HOW TO MAKE YOUR ENERGY POSITIVE!

Positive life energy is the “stuff” of the soul; it permeates all your cells and higher organ systems.  To exist in the present, without being imprisoned by your wounded ego, you must tune into the infinite side of your energy, and synchronize it to your own true nature.  By loving from your essence, your life becomes a beautiful concerto, with the joy reflected back to you.

Your feelings are all connected with the infinite energy of all the forces of the universe.   Reacting from a peaceful mind and heart, you find calmness  that  leads you into a peaceful inner place, called your essence or home.

Negative emotions keep you stuck in the mud.  To move beyond your ego, you must embrace your essence, and trust  in your infinite nature.  To embrace your consciousness and move on, you must accept this dual polarization, by seeing things with a new insight and perspective.   Shifting out and focusing on  your essence, you again restore true healing and homeostasis in to your life.

Look at your thoughts as they float through your consciousness.  Quiet your thinking and the constant chatter of your mind.   Don’t try to force yourself into a positive mode at once;  rise above the negative emotions that are undermining your essence. 

You are what you become.

Recognize that life is to be experienced, not condemned.  Anchor yourself in the present moment.  Truth is present and it is an energy that can always be tapped into.  Feel the essence of life’s force.  Reclaim your spirit,  realize  you are strong in spirit, and you will gain trust and independence.  You are empowered to change some thing s about yourself: your health, your environment, and your living conditions.

Break from the past.  You are just a condition that can be changed.  Transform yourself and get harmony back.  Shift your viewpoint, and replace the emotions that are ego based with feelings of respect and compassion.

Replace intolerance with tolerance: sadness with happiness, lack of self-esteem with love of yourself, fear of  the future with trust.  Change your angry feelings and the fear of your future by developing an awareness of your trusting and compassionate spirit.

Let go of the negative energy you have been carrying from childhood.  Replace your anger with forgiveness, with a sense of trust in what lies ahead.   Replace your low self-esteem by loving yourself.  See the world from the perspective of essence instead of from your ego.

Tap into your infinite energy by getting into the present moment: meditation, yoga, prayer, imaging techniques, hypnosis, and acupuncture  often  achieve this awareness.  The healing energy inside you can heal you. 

The bottom line is to learn to let go, get in the present moment, spend more time with nature, and be the person you think you are. When you reach this balance, your mind will be at peace, your body will be healthy, and your energy will soar.
