Connecting to the Source

In my previous postabout maintaining your flow of energy, I gave an exercise for recharging your spirits when your energy is low. Here is another simple technique adapted from qigong. This meditation provides an opportunity to connect to a vast source of energy (or spirit depending on how you see things) that is always available to you.

Stand or sit comfortably with feet flat on the floor and back straight. Visualize your head reaching out into the universe. Imagine your feet rooting deep into the earth. Visualize the front of your body reaching out beyond the horizon in front of you. Feel the back of your body reaching out into the universe behind you. Expand your left and right sides out beyond the horizon into the universe. Reach your attention out infinitely in all direction, like a growing sphere. Hold for a moment. Then bring your attention to the energy center of your body - located near the navel. Visualize that expansive sphere shrinking and condensing into a point in your center. Hold for a moment and absorb the energy from the source available to you. Release again out in all directions. Pause. Condense. Absorb. Repeat for 5 - 20 minutes.

Maintaining the Flow - Part 2

Last week I talked about maintaining your energy flow through what you eat and physical exercise. Take a look here if you missed that post. Now, let's look at moving your energy directly through intention and visualization.


Here is a simple exercise to get energy moving – I find that in a pinch at work, waiting in line, sitting in a car, or any other situation where I can't get up and get moving that I can revive my spirits doing this. It's especially useful in a situation where you can't stop to rest and really need some extra oomph to push through a slump.

Sitting or standing comfortably, close your eyes if possible. Feel your feet touching the floor. Bring your consciousness down through your feet, through the floor to the earth. Bring yourself down deeper and deeper into the earth until you reach the hot core. Take a moment to collect that fiery, vital energy and bring it back up through the earth through the floor into your feet. Bring it up through your legs to your root chakra at the base of your spine, in the pelvic area. Imagine anchoring that connection in your chakra and feeling the energy flow through there.

Retrace your steps back to the core of the earth, and bring energy back up through the earth, through your feet, through your root to your belly chakra that is located halfway between your pubic bone and your bellybutton. Imagine anchoring the line of energy in your belly.

Then repeat again going back down to the core of the earth and bringing vitality up through your feet, your root, your belly and into your power chakra located in your solar plexus at the base of your ribcage.

After you anchor the connection there, repeat this exercise moving the energy up from the earth and anchoring it in each of your chakras. Next is your heart at the center of your chest, then your throat, then your third eye at the forehead, and finally your crown just above the top of your head. When the energy flows up through you and out your crown, imagine it flowing gently down through your aura back to the earth like a waterfall.

Now your body and your energy is flowing naturally.

The new and improved YOU!

I updated my website.

Does any of this sound like you?

I work really hard and for long hours.

I have a jam packed schedule of commitments and to-do lists.

I am a busy parent: juggling work, home and childcare.

I would feel better if I could just...
- stop feeling so tense or stressed out
- be calmer and centered more of the time
- stop feeling so worried or anxious
- slow down long enough to stop feeling run down
- find time to relax
- have more energy to get through my day

In less than an hour, you will feel better or it is free!
With only a 30 or 60 minute Reiki session, your well-being is guaranteed to improve. If you don't feel better at the end of your session, you don't pay. Try it risk free. You're worth it! I can help you to relax and rejuvenate.

Would you like to improve your wellbeing?
