Thirteen
Steps to Higher Energy
by Roger Cantu |
Everything that we do involves energy. The more energy we have, the more we can accomplish, both physically and spiritually. If you want to have more energy on a daily basis, you can follow these simple steps to achieve a higher level personal power and vitality. These steps have been divided into three parts: body, mind, and spirit. These suggestions will significantly affect and increase your level of energy. Part I. The Body 1.
Develop a Strong Body It is important that you develop a strong body, because this will allow you to hold more energy. Taking martial arts classes, for example, will help you to balance your body, your mind, and your energy. Tai-Chi is probably the best place to start if you have never taken any martial arts classes. 2.
Take Care of Your Nutritional Needs
Eating a balanced diet, high in proteins, and low in fat and carbohydrates will also increase your level of energy. Eating less sugar and flour will help you to feel better. Most people are addicted to sugar without even knowing it. According to Sri Sathya Sai Baba, the great Guru of India, refined sugar is the source of many physical illnesses. Part II - The Mind 3.
Meditate and Balance Your Energy
According to the Dalai Lama, “If you start your day with meditation and prayer, the whole day thoughts become something useful.” Once you get into a routine of meditating every day, you will feel that your energy is more balanced, and you will deal better with stress. 4.
Select a Good Career That Will Fulfil You
Choose a career that will inspire you and fulfil you. If you are not happy at work, chances are you will not be happy with the rest of your life. That’s why it is so important to develop a good career and to have a great job. 5.
Control Your Negative Emotions Reaching powerful mental levels doesn’t occur by an accident. It is a deliberate decision that you make again and again. It is something for you to grow in and develop. When you can be sloppy, you are not. When you can be indulgent, you are not. When you can be sad, you laugh instead. If you fall down, you pick yourself up again and begin again and again. Be a perpetual beginner. Each day we start over, each evening, each moment. Always be inspired. It’s that attitude of inspiration and belief that creates energy. 6.
Live in a Place That is Clean and Organized
7.
Listen to Music That Inspires You
I highly recommend the music of Zazen, Kitaro, Joaquin Lievano, Patrick O’Hearn, Tangerine Dream, and Cusco. Most of these artists have created their music in very high states of mind. 8.
Spend Time with Good Friends Part III - The Spirit 9.
Spend a Certain Amount of Time Alone in Nature
10.
Have Lots of Plants in Your House
Peter Tompkins in his book, The Secret Life of Plants, teaches us that we actually have a sympathetic connection with plants. The book illustrates how a study was done where they connected electrodes to a plant and the plant responded accordingly in different situations. For example, there was a person that would come in and water the plant every day. When that person walked into the room, a certain measurement would appear in the EEG, like if the plant was happy to see that person. Then, there was another person who would always come in and hit the plant. Every time that that person would come in, the EEG would record a different measurement, like if the plant was afraid. There is definitely a connection between the plant kingdom and us. 11.
Be of Service to Others Whenever you take the time to inspire someone, to aid them in their inner search, you will find that energy comes back to you. If you inspire people with sincerity and respect it will happen automatically. Do you want to increase your energy tremendously? Then want inside your heart to inspire and be of service to others. This desire will cause you to encounter people whom you can help and inspire. In the words of the Dalai Lama, “The purpose of life is to make an inspirational contribution to the life of others.” 12.
Read Inspirational Books
This is a great cure for insomnia. If you can’t sleep at night, if you feel restless, just pick up a high spiritual book; and you will feel more relaxed and you will be able to fall asleep more easily. 13.
Keep a Positive Outlook on Life These are the thirteen steps to increase your energy. How do you make them work? Make a schedule. Write down all the things you want to do and take small steps to achieve your goals. It is a good idea to write all of your activities for the week on a piece of paper and then place that schedule in a place where you go often, like the refrigerator door. In The Power of Silence, Don Juan explains the importance of energy conservation to Carlos Castaneda. Don Juan says, “Human beings are born with a finite amount of energy. An energy that is systematically deployed beginning at the moment of birth. You must learn to use it in the most advantageous way. The main aspect in the study of personal power is learning to manage and increase your energy. This energy will enable you to handle some energy fields, which are inaccessible to you now. Increasing your energy will give you the ability to perceive the world in a way in which ordinary perception cannot." You gain energy by doing your daily meditation, inspiring others, spending time alone in nature, having plants in your house, doing some kind of exercise on a regular basis, and managing your career and your relationships properly. If you follow all of these steps, you will have plenty of energy to do everything you want to do and you will be very successful.
