12 Tips for Balancing your Energy

The human body contains an extraordinary amount of energy. Energy is simply the strength and vitality to accomplish sustained mental and physical activity. An energy field is the electromagnetic orbit of electrical charges, currents, and magnetization.

The energy field is made up of emotions as well as sound and light frequencies. Also known as auras, the energy field consists of many layers. The layers emit a subtle glow that can vary in size, color, and vibration. The aura has 7 layers that correspond with the 7 chakras. Our energy field or aura has an effect on others and others energy fields can influence ours. 

If you want to accomplish sustained physical, mental, and emotional stability it is helpful to periodically balance your energy. 

Here are 12 tips for Balancing your Energy:

1. Practice Chakra Meditation

• Chakra Meditation includes breathwork, intuition and visualization of colors to activate and balance the chakras. Chakra meditation can also include working with mudras, the elements, and positive affirmations that bring emotional healing. 

2. Go to a yoga class 

• Yoga will balance your energy by exercising your mind and body. When the muscles exert excess energy, it can help reduce anxiety, anger and depression. 

3. Book a Reiki Session

• An experienced reiki practitioner can balance your chakras and assist you in deep meditative relaxation. The practice invites universal life force energy to direct the flow of your energy back into a harmonizing state. Essential oils can be used for a heightened sensory experience. 

4. Wash Bed Sheets every 2-4 Weeks

• We shed our entire skin every 2-4 weeks. Our bed sheets accumulate much of this waste. Washing your sheets every 2-4 weeks and more often if necessary is a wonderful way to keep your endocrine system clean and functioning. 

5. Lay a plain white sheet on the bed

• Laying a plain, bright white comforter on the bed creates brightness and luminosity to your bedroom. Having a white comforter gives you motivation to consistently wash your sheets and symbolizes a fresh slate. Try it and see if it brings a sense of calm and peace to your energy.

6. Burn sage, lavender, incense or palo santo

• Smudging is a great practice to clear energy and reset the vibration of a space. Additionally, the smoke eliminates toxins within the air. Regulating cleansing the air also contributes to endocrine function through purifying the respiratory system. 

7. Place one hand on heart and one hand on belly and take 3 deep breaths

• This is a great way to reduce emotional despair and turmoil. This practice grounds the spirit back in the body and activates the parasympathetic nervous system. 

8. Hold head in palms supporting the jaw and cheek bones

• This subtle posture can give the head and neck a break from strenuous activity. This hold helps sooth the nervous system and relax the jaw. 

9. Listen to music 

• Listening to music is like a full body workout for the brain. Music has the ability to light up many different parts of the brain which can result in a myriad of positive effects. Music can boost your mood, help you recall memories, and even change your ability to perceive time. Choosing your favorite tunes can be so healing for your sensory experience. 

10. Dance and move the body 

• Dancing and moving the body helps move stagnant energy in the body. Moving around in an unconventional way helps release unconscious holding patterns in the muscles. When we release tension in the body - we are able to release trauma as well. 

11. Take a Shower or Wash Face/Hands

• A quick shower or face washing is very useful to cure over-thinking. This practice is also necessary after absorbing other’s energy fields. Washing of hands is a symbol of releasing responsibility. It can be a great way to bring yourself back into the present moment. 

12. Mindful Walking

• Taking a walk outside is a lovely way to activate your sensory experience. Adding mindfulness to your walk is beneficial to balancing your energy. When you mindfully walk, try to notice all 5 senses alive in your body: smell, sight, taste, touch, and sound. Mindful walking includes walking as if your feet are in love with earth, moving with dignity and intention. Mindful walking can also include pausing to feel the sun shine on your skin or the coolness of the wind.
