Energy is everything. Have you ever noticed how you’ll have good days and bad days and on the good days, you feel good. On the not so good days, you really don’t feel so great. On days when we aren’t at our best, our mood isn’t the same. Our energy is lower and our productivity level is also low or possibly even non-existent.
There is a correlation between how you feel and everything else in your life. It all boils down to energy. Your energy is everything.
In this article, I’m going to show you how you can harness your energy to get more of what you want out of life.
We Know That Energy is Important
We all know somewhere deep down inside that our energy and the amount of energy we put into something is important. Yet, we tend to forget or lose track of that important detail from time to time.
For example, I can talk with a smile on my face and using upbeat tones in my voice all while sharing energy with you while I do it. I can also turn off that energy and still talk with the same upbeat tones and the same expression, but what I say will feel flat and void of energy. Can you feel the difference in that?
We know that energy is important but we don’t always understand what it is that makes that energy so important, nor do we understand the impact it can have.
Energy That is Accessible by Everyone
Here is something else you may not realize. The energy that I’m talking about, isn’t based on the laws of kinetic energy or the energy our body creates through metabolic reactions.
You don’t have to be an athlete or even physically fit to experience this type of energy. You don’t have to be a guru or a yogi (although it may help you learn how to harness it) and you don’t have to be as spry as you were in your 20s or as you were when you were a child. Though children do tap into this energy way more easily than we do as adults.
Discovering Your Super Power
The energy I’m talking about comes from within you. It isn’t a physical thing or a physical manifestation at all. It’s not something tangible. But it’s always there, waiting to be accessed at will.
The energy I’m referring to is life force energy.
Life force energy exists within you and all around you. It’s accessible at any time by anyone and it never runs out and never expires. It’s just always there, and you can learn to harness it.
And here’s the best part, once you learn what it feels like and how to harness it, you’ll want to experience it more and more often. It’s almost like discovering a superpower within you and then wanting to use it whenever you possibly can.
But before we talk more about how to harness it, let’s talk a bit more about why you would want to.
Why Harness Life Force Energy?
Life force energy is used to create everything you experience and when you harness it, you can change your life and make things happen with very little effort on your part. In fact, vast changes can happen so quickly that you’ll wonder what the heck is going on or what you did to all of a sudden become so lucky.
When you consciously harness your life force energy you may also become a magnet for others. People will listen to you. They’ll want to be around you and if you own a business, they’ll want to use your services. People will come to you out of the blue for all kinds of things and to be helpful to you. The new relationships and opportunities that come your way will all be good for you and good for anyone involved.
Does that make sense?
How I Learned to Harness Life Force Energy
Just a few short months ago, I couldn’t have explained any of this. It took a significant experience in my life to be able to articulate it. And even now, I may not have it perfectly figured out, but I’m going to share what I know anyway because I think it may be helpful to others to hear it.
You see, since coming back from the Funnel Hacking Live conference earlier this year, my businesses have all been increasingly busy. I didn’t change anything beyond making a choice to maintain the higher vibrational energy that I’d experienced while at the conference.
At the time, I had no idea what that really meant nor did I know how to maintain it. All I knew was that I felt different, more driven, and I had more clarity in where I wanted to go and how I wanted to serve others. I finally was seeing some significant progress toward my goals and a more defined purpose in life.
But, as you might expect, it became increasingly more difficult to maintain the same level of energy and motivation and drive as the weeks carried on. I found myself desperately grasping at anything I could that would help me to feel that same level of exuberance as I had experienced the first few weeks following the conference.
The energy was still there. I could feel it. But my ability to tap into it seemed to be waning. Life kept happening. I would get surges of the energy but it was no longer constant. I knew there must be a way to tap into whatever it was that was creating this drive and energy within me.
Sometimes Talking Things Through Is All We Need
A few weeks after the conference, I shared my thoughts about my waning energy and enthusiasm with my husband. As I talked about it, something happened. A surge of the same energy I had felt before began to build. The more I talked, the stronger it became. I was surprised by how easily it happened.
I couldn’t have been talking about it for longer than 30 seconds, but there it was. I remember it clearly because we were driving home and about to exit the highway. As we turned onto the off-ramp, I started talking about my decreased energy and enthusiasm. By the time we got to the light at the bottom of the exit ramp, I was noticing the surge of energy within me.
All I had done was mention that I wanted to discover a way to tap into that energy and to experience it all the time and there it was. It was still there. Just as strong as before. And it only took me a few seconds to “activate it.”
Harnessing Your Life Force Energy
Since that day and without changing anything, my schedule for my Reiki and Massage business has been regularly filling up. In particular, people have been coming to me from out of the blue asking for Reiki which has never been the case before. Massage has always been the more popular type of session, but I prefer to do Reiki and the Universe knows that.
But it wasn’t just my Reiki and Massage business that had a noticeable impact. People that hadn’t used my digital marketing services in over a year were reaching out to me for not one, but multiple projects. People have been inquiring about my workshops and Reiki class schedule. People I’ve never met before are finding me online and making appointments. New opportunities have also been presenting themselves regularly.
I knew that my energy and the higher vibrational energy I was experiencing was the key. I didn’t want it to stop, so I set out to figure out a way to continue feeling that level of energy. And I did.
And you can do this too.
Below are some methods that I recommend. Anyone can learn how to do these things, so find one that resonates with you. Start with a method that you think is something you can actually accomplish.
Find Your Happy Place
Learn from Peter Pan and think your happiest thoughts.
Talk about what makes you happy, imagine it, feel it, and be grateful for those moments. Then watch as your energy surges as you talk and experience them and while you’re sharing them.
As you think about or talk about your “happy place”, you’ll feel a sense of elation and exuberance. That is the life force energy within you being activated.
The more you practice creating this feeling, the easier it will be to access.
Express Your Passion
Share your passion with someone. Whatever it is, just find someone to talk to about it. If you can’t find someone, write about it. Write about what it is that really lights you up. The act of doing this provides a nearly instantaneous burst of source energy within you. Our passions fuel our soul and that fuel is life force energy.
So find ways to express your passion and do things that make you happy. The boost of energy that you’ll feel in doing so will leave you wanting more. In turn, this will naturally motivate you and increase your drive for finding more opportunities to do what you’re passionate about doing – no matter what it is.
Find Your Zen
I noticed that after I finished a Reiki healing session, I have that same surge of energy. As a practitioner, we heal ourselves in the act of healing others. It’s a beautiful thing.
Because so many people have been coming to me for Reiki each week, I’ve been dousing myself in pure life force energy regularly. You can do this too.
We all have access to this energy and you don’t have to be a Reiki Master to do it.
Close your eyes and imagine a beam of bright light shining down onto you from above. Allow that light to flow through the top of your head and down into your body filling every crevasse, every nook and every cranny. Then allow that light to spill out over and around you until you are completely encompassed by this light. Allow that light to build around you creating a bigger and bigger and bigger cocoon of caressing light. When you’re ready, absorb all of that light into your body until you glow. Take a few deep breaths as you absorb the energy and then note how you feel. Can you feel the surge within you?
Meditate
We all seem to dread the “M” word. I did too for the longest time and now I love it. I meditate daily, even if all I have time for is a few minutes. Whether you’re in the shower, standing in line, sitting on the edge of your bed after just waking up, sipping your morning coffee, taking a walk, sitting in the bathroom, or any other daily task, there is always time to meditate.
Meditation is SUCH a powerful way to tap into your life force energy on a regular basis. And when done regularly, the efforts are cumulative.
Practice Gratitude
If you’re finding yourself in a position where your drive, motivation, or overall energy is lacking, practice gratitude. Make a list of everything you can think of for which you are grateful. By the time you get to the end of your list, you will feel so much elation and energy that you’ll be shocked at the transformation that has taken place. The effects of gratitude are profound and begin to work immediately. Try it and you’ll see for yourself how easy and how powerful gratitude can be.
Those are just a few of the ways that you can learn to harness your life force energy. The more often you experience higher vibrational energy, the more you’ll look for ways to continue experiencing life at that level. You’ll also start to see rapid changes taking place in your life. The higher your vibration, the more quickly things you desire will present themselves to you.
Your energy is everything and everything you need is already within you. So start harnessing it.
