 WHAT IS THE ENERGY SYSTEM?
Everything is made up of energy; it is the driving life force of all beings and everything in nature.
We as humans are not just a physical body; we have an energy system that runs throughout the internal core from the base of our spine to above the crown area at the top of our heads. These present as energy points: they are colour-coded and are called Chakras.
The Energy system also extends about one metre around our bodies. This is called the Auric Field, which is electromagnetic and vibrational.
If we meditate on a regular basis we can tune into our energy field and see the internal colours within us.
WHAT DOES ALL THIS MEAN?
Basically, the Chakra and Auric system is a big part of our very essence. It is our living light force that goes through us and all that is around us. This energy system plays a major part in our health, what we attract into our lives, and how much energy we have.
Like exercise and nutrition, the energy system also needs to be maintained, unless we keep it clear we get blockages in and around our bodies that can present on the physical as pain and disease. We also attract on a vibrational level what we are feeling.
 HOW IS IT ALL CONNECTED?
Every part of our body is connected to our energy system that lies deep within the spinal column.
For example, problems with knees, wrists and ankles are connected to the energy point at the base of our spine.
 HOW DO WE GET MORE ENERGY?
We can increase our energy by exercising and having good nutrition. But it is also necessary to keep our energy points cleared though breathing techniques, and being aware of who is around us – in our space.
Clearing out our auric field must be done on a regular basis. If we work closely with people or we are in a busy environment we can pick up or be left with some energy that does not belong to who we are.
Our body can tell us when we are carrying “unsuitable†energy. The signs are:
Extreme tiredness
- A feeling of negativity and not knowing why.
- Crying and being emotional for no reason.
- Anger issues.
- Wanting to get away from everything and everybody.
Cleansing: By cleansing our energy through certain techniques, the use of essential oils and herbs, and keeping our own lifestyle, mindset and the whole holistic body free from negativity and toxins we can create and attract a wonderful and higher vibrational outcome.
Dance: Dancing and listening to music can cleanse our energy and raise our vibration. Dance is part of my cleansing routine. When I dance to music I can be on such a natural high that I have the feeling of euphoria and the purity of life force going through me.
Colour: Subconsciously, we are attracted to the Colours of the energy system through the clothing we wear and the foods we eat: these can also give us a lot more energy.
 THE OUTCOME!
Living a healthy holistic lifestyle that covers all modalities including our own energy source can give us lots of energy, confidence, great self-esteem, success and a feeling of abundance in all aspects of our life. We create our own light within that is then outwardly projected.
All this information is based on my personal experience and how I live my true values.
A light that shines is one that is followed.
