Keeping Our Energy High
Author: Robert Elias Najemy

The quantity and quality of our energy flow deeply affect
our emotions, thoughts and reactions. The quality of our
relationships, productivity, creativity and health all
depend upon creating a high level of harmoniously flowing
energy.

The following techniques and ways of life will aid us in
building a freer and more positive energy flow.

1. PROPER DIET: Few of us realize the powerful effect of a
proper diet not only on our physical health, but also on
our emotional, mental and spiritual states. A pure diet can
create greater health, more positive emotional states,
clearer mental functioning, and increased spiritual
attunement.

2. VITAMINS: If we suspect our emotional state may also be
the result of a worn down nervous system, we might benefit
from a strong multivitamin and mineral supplement for one
month.

3. FASTING: We can dramatically improve how we feel with
short one-day fasts, or a "mono-diet" in which we eat only
one type of food, such as only apples, watermelon or
grapes. When fasting, some may experience an increase of
symptoms if a "healing crisis" is provoked. A beginner in
this process should be assisted by an experienced guide.

4. HERBS or FLOWER ESSENCES: Some herbs can be very calming
and / or invigorating, offering an extra boost which may
give us the needed optimism we need to make internal
changes.

5. DAILY PHYSICAL EXERCISE: The body is a live machine, and
like all machines, it needs to move or it will begin to
develop problems. Exercise is essential not only for a
healthy muscular, skeletal and circulatory system, but also
for a relaxed nervous system and balanced endocrine system.
This systemic harmony is necessary for emotional and mental
peace.

6. BREATHING TECHNIQUES are essential for the abundant
flow of vital energy throughout the body and mind.
Bio-energy is the basis of all physical and mental
functions.
Breathing exercises are one of the most effective ways to
increase our energy level and keep it steady and harmonious
so we will be less susceptible to low emotional states or
illness. We should, however, have the guidance of a person
experienced in breathing techniques before we begin.

7. DAILY DEEP RELAXATION will calm the muscles, nerves and
all other bodily systems, and thus rejuvenate the body and
the mind. Deep relaxation, in conjunction with the
above-mentioned techniques, contributes to the development
of strong and healthy immune system as well as a form of
self-therapy from psychosomatic illnesses.

8. CREATIVE SELF-EXPRESSION is much more important to our
physical, emotional and spiritual health and harmony than
most people imagine. Man is a creative being. Our purpose
on Earth is to create in some way. We might create a
family, a business, a farm, a painting, a piece of music, a
dance, etc. Creative self-expression is essential for our
health, harmony and happiness.

9. MEANINGFUL ACTIVITY is necessary for us to feel that our
life is worth living. If we do not see what we are doing as
meaningful, useful or helpful in some way, we lose our
reason to exist, and our health and happiness gradually
deteriorate

10. MASSAGE: Shiatsu massage, polarity massage, spiritual
healing, Reiki and other such energy-oriented types of
massage can be especially effective in relaxing the nervous
system and reducing negativity.

11. CLEANSING TECHNIQUES: One simple method is to increase
the number of showers or baths. Contact with water can be
healing and calming. We can also benefit by cleaning the
internal body systems with enemas and other internal
cleansing techniques.

12. EMOTIONAL RELEASE: We might need to partake in a
program of emotional release under the guidance of an
experienced professional, who can help us release pent up
emotions which undermine our health and energy level.

13. SOCIAL HARMONIZATION: We need to discover and overcome
any fears or beliefs that prevent us from feeling
comfortable with others.

14. SPIRITUAL ORIENTATION: Each of us has his or her own
personal relationship with the universe. Whether or not we
adhere to any particular religion, it is important for our
inner balance that we feel and cultivate our relationship
with the whole as humanity, as nature, or as God.

15. SELF-KNOWLEDGE: We need to understand our own inner
mechanisms, needs, desires, fears, expectations, beliefs
and subconscious workings in order to free ourselves from
the negative emotions, mechanisms, which undermine our
health, happiness and relationships.

16. ENLIGHTENING THE SUBCONSCIOUS: This aspect of
self-improvement usually requires an experienced
professional who can help us reprogram the subconscious
with positive, more objective beliefs and perceptions of
ourselves, others and the world.

17. UNCONDITIONAL LOVE towards ourselves and others is the
ultimate key to a high and harmonious energy flow.
