UNLOCKING THE GATEWAY TO ENERGY

7 METHODS OF ACCESSING THE ENERGY SOURCE WITHIN YOU

“I’m panicking. I literally can feel the weight of the entire universe on my shoulders right now. It’s 6pm and I still have to write up an urgent document, which is due by the end of the day. I have to do a training at 10am and I have no clue what I’m going to talk about. When am I going to prepare? Why did I leave this for the last minute? Oh wait, I totally forgot. I also have to write the article for HRRA Magazine that’s due tomorrow. I haven’t even started it. My wife will be home soon from work and we have no dinner prepared. My son’s homework project too...What have I gotten myself into? Where do I start? I am so lost…”

This was my exact thought process with the accompanying feelings of anxiety and worry on a Wednesday afternoon last year. Have you ever found yourself in a similar situation? The best word to describe this state is...You guessed it! OVERWHELMED. What do you do when you feel this way? How do YOU handle it? Here is what I did. First, I acknowledged that I was feeling overwhelmed and that nothing constructive could come out of a mind which feels a thousand tons of pressure on it. So I found a quiet spot in my house, closed my eyes and did the best thing you can do in this situation. Surrender to higher powers, release the tension, recognize and accept that you are not in charge of the universe and no one expects you to be. Thank God for that! My 15 minute meditation prayer could be summed up in this statement “Let it be whatever it is. I offer no resistance.I release all of my fears and worries to you.” I will never forget the feelings I experienced after the meditation. Serenity, peace, quiet and CLARITY. It was mind boggling that no circumstances had changed on the outside, yet EVERYTHING changed on the inside. In case you were wondering, I went on to write up the document, which took much less time than I thought, ordered delivery for dinner, helped my son with his project, got up at 5am the next morning to write the article and rescheduled the training. It was the best I could do under the circumstances and I was OK with that! My energy soared as a result of this experience.

So, what can you do to make sure you maintain a high energy level throughout the day and throughout the year? To begin with, we must come to terms with several facts. Life is a progression of cycles. There are times when we are on top of the world for no apparent reason and other times when all the success and achievements seem meaningless. Sometimes we feel strong and courageous and other times we struggle to hide our insecurities. Will power rises for a while but then we scrape the corners of our souls to find an ounce of it. This is life. There are universal processes and forces that are beyond our understanding and comprehension. They are as they are and we don’t have the power to change them. Then you may ask: “So how should we handle them?” Acknowledge their existence and accept these realities without labeling them as good or bad. As soon as you label them, tension arises. Your job is to keep moving forward navigating through these cycles. What can help you keep moving forward? The answer is - a supply of fresh energy.

Do you know that at every instant of our lives every single one of us has access to an unlimited supply of universal energy? Yes, we do! The problem is that our fears and worries keep that access point blocked. Go back to my experience in the beginning of this article. My thoughts of worry had completely clogged the energy flow like dark clouds blocking the sunlight. But as soon as I quieted down my mind the clouds dissolved and the sun started shining brightly and peacefully in my soul, providing clear guidance and a burst of energy.

How can YOU unlock the gateway to the energy supply within you? Lucky for you, there is more than one strategy to open the access to infinite energy. They can be implemented instantly, regardless of who you are and where you are in your life. Let’s look at a few

.

Meditation. I believe by far the most empowering and effective way to access universal energy is meditation, which is the process of quieting down your mind. It’s not rocket science and it does get easier with practice. For beginners, just start with a 15 minute breathing meditation. Count till 6 while you inhale, then count till 10 while you exhale. Do this for 15 minutes and watch your body and mind completely relax. Don’t underestimate the effectiveness of this exercise despite its simplicity. The splendor of more advanced meditations would be hard to describe in this short article. Those who practice meditation habitually will know what I’m talking about.

Gratitude. Feeling overwhelmed equals feeling powerless. Powerless, because we feel like we can’t handle what’s in front of us. When you stop for a second, and feel gratitude for everything you already have, everything you have accomplished, every victory, every achievement big or small, a miracle happens. The creative energy rushes into your body and gives you clear directions on how to manifest more of the things you just expressed gratitude about. It gives you POWER TO START ACTING.

Laughter. If you really want to get a kick out of this one, go stand in a crowded place, preferably on a platform, and start laughing out loud. Laugh your lungs out. Sure, people may call a mental health specialist but what do you care? Imagine the adrenaline rush you will get! But if we’re being serious, laughter does change the chemistry of your brain. I dare you to try it for yourself. Next time you are feeling down, find a secluded space, maybe in your car, and force yourself to laugh for no reason, as hard as you can. Do this for a minimum of 3-5 minutes. Watch what happens next.

Reading Your EES. Are you starting to wonder what EES means? I call these Explosive Empowerment Statements. They are also known as personal affirmations. If you don’t have a list of affirmations yet, write them down right after finishing reading this article. These statements give you power every time you read them and feel the matching emotions. Here are a few examples: “I am a powerful being with unlimited potential”, “I have unlimited courage”, “I am the best problem solver I know”, “I make a huge difference in the world”... You should personalize your own Explosive Empowerment Statements and read them frequently!

Exercising. Heading out for a short walk, going up and down the stairs or even doing 5-10 pushups can make all the difference when you’re feeling overwhelmed. Exercising increases oxygen circulation in your body, which in turn provides an energy boost. At the same time exercising releases the toxins, relieving the accumulated tension.

Listening to Music. This one may sound odd, but nevertheless it works. If you turn on something relaxing, especially a good piece of classical music, put on your headphones, close your eyes and just listen to it for 15 minutes you will feel totally different. The composer was in a creative state of mind when he/she wrote this piece, using the same energy you are hoping to get. Maybe it’s this energy that transfers to you while you’re listening.

Praying. Last but not least, prayer stands side by side with meditation in terms of the ability to deliver a flow of divine energy. But prayer is only effective when it’s expressed in a state of intense enthusiasm and unshakable faith in the positive outcome of what you’re praying for. You know you’re in a state of prayer when your mind and body are vibrating, radiating and burning with faith, joy and peace.

Regardless of the method used, an involuntary smile a great indication that you have opened the gateway to unlimited energy. In this creative state you will be guided to make better decisions leading to guaranteed better outcomes. When you master the art of consciously and deliberately tapping into the infinite energy source your life will never be the same again!
