Ever just had "one of those days"? Or, have you had a day when you felt you were under a "black cloud" even when the Sun was brightly shining?
The truth is, we've all had every one of these experiences and the likelihood is that we've never categorized just what was going on at the time. We just wanted those experiences to end and move on to "better feeling" days, days with more positive "Chi" or Life Energy.
Step One: There Are Invisible Energies Out There.
An "off day", can be easily explained as our receiving invisible negative energies from other people, places or material objects in our surroundings and allowing them to transform our mood and even our physical bodies. Most of this is automatic as we seldom react to prevent it from happening until it's too late.
We're wound in an energy web of Life called "Chi" by the East and it can be found in other People, Places and the Plant and Animal Kingdom as well. These very energies can work on our behalf or against us depending on which "flavor" of Chi we're exposed to, Positive or Negative.
The Negative "flavor" of Chi energy can block or drain our energies to the extent of ruining our "best laid plans" for the day or week. They just oppose our natural Positive Vitalities to such a degree that our mental, emotional and even physical states don't co-operate with our goals, dreams and ambitions.
The Positive Energies are supportive and energy-giving ones (unlike their opposite numbers). We feel absolutely Great when the Positive Energy Web surrounding us is the prevalent or strongest one. These are those "full on" days when everything seems to be going right.
Now the truth of Life is that we absolutely need as much of Positive energy or Life Chi Force as we can possibly get so we're able to perform at our best level. If negative energies have the exact opposite effect on us, then, we should learn all we can about how to "accentuate the positives and eliminate the negatives" in our lives.
Step Two: Think Positive and Focus On The Positive.
The Quality Of Your Energy Will Control Your Life.
Ever have a sudden shift in mood, for better or worse? Amazing how quickly it can happen isn't it? Someone says the wrong thing at the wrong time and "BANG!", we've shifted into a negative anger mode. Or, have you ever had a child ask you something in pure innocence that made you sincerely smile and instantly happy? There's the proof that these energies can be commanded and shifted quickly. Let's learn how to make that work in our favor.
If you can hold a "good" thought (pick a virtue like Bravery, Love, Service, Gratitude or another one) for more than 3 minutes without focusing on your previous mood or thought, you will have broken the back of the negative energy that had you in it's grip and replaced it with a new, strong positive energy. That new energy will propel you forward to greater happiness and productivity for the rest of your day & evening.
We really can't hold more than one single thought at a time and those thoughts cause chemical changes in our brains. Positive thoughts, loving thoughts, uplifting thoughts create beneficial chemicals in our brains and bodies and if we devote some of our day to those thoughts, our bodies, minds and emotions will follow.
It simply takes a little time for those chemicals to go to work and so, hold those good thoughts as long as you can!
If you want to employ other techniques for setting and maintaining a positive energy shift, great music, exercise, meditation and great art are also available and should be used as a new habit of living.
The good news in this discussion is that we have means to counter those mysterious forces that before today have created havoc in our lives. Even those few tools and techniques mentioned in this article can change our lives immensely. There are also some new discoveries that can harness positive energies 24 hours a day that you can check out in the about the author link.
Step Three: Positive Thoughts Should Be Held As Long As You Can.
The longer you can hold the positive thought or action the better for building up your positive energy reserves. Of course, there's only so much time anyone can devote to such activities and still pursue their life's intents, but, all efforts help.
Frankly, there are alternate ways to solve this time commitment challenge that are freeing and release us from the burden of having to focus on generating these energies for ourselves. These other innovative techniques will actually generate positive energies for us and sustain that energy 24 hours a day, week after week without any attention from us.
It's important to explore these new techniques and look for the technology and teachers who will allow you to remain in complete control of the energy process.
Another angle would be to settle on a technique that doesn't require constant consulting work or additional input from an expert on a too frequent basis.
You can learn more about these new energy harnessing strategies in upcoming articles in the coming weeks. We'll be looking into their application and tremendous possibilities in controlling our energy environments.
It's something very profound and different, however, to really get inside that notion and understand intuitively, unquestionably, what that means. When you do that, the knowledge becomes an inalienable part of your life ... and it changes you. Because thoughts, too, are energy.
The idea that all things are made of energy is different from the notion that matter is formed from atoms with electrons spinning in orbit around nuclei and the possibility that everything can be broken down into essential elements defined by the Periodic Table. That statement may be true, in a microscopic and mechanical way.
The dog lying against my leg as I write this article may be physically composed of hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, calcium, and so forth. But she and her irrepressible little spirit are also something more. Infinitely more ... and infinitely precious.
If you take the precise number of molecules, the exact ratio of elements contained in this dog, stir them all together and watch the result ... you will not reproduce her. You won't even come close. She is a product of the mysterious energy that animates her and makes her uniquely herself.
Whether you want to call it spirit, or soul, or aura, or essence ... there is a key energy in absolutely everything. People, dogs, plants, mountains, cities, buildings, rocks, cars, appliances, streets, rivers, clouds, you name it. American Indians, among others, indeed spoke of Spirit ... and built their religions around that notion. Mountains, deer, corn, rain ... everything had Spirit. Cognitive, sentient Spirit that could be felt, honored, addressed, and even bargained with.
If you pay any attention at all to the world around you, you know exactly what I mean by this concept of essential energy. You feel it in an automatic attraction or repulsion to other people, places, objects ... and even ideas. When the energy around you is steady, congruent, and supportive ... you feel safe, calm, serene, and happy. This can come from being in a special place, or being with a special person, or even running a special fantasy on the movie screen of your imagination.
It works the other direction, too. Some people give you the creeps ... just by being in your air space. Some places can make you physically ill if you stay in them too long. Some memories can ruin your whole evening's mood. Their energy with yours jangles, clashes, hurts, wounds, and repels.
The Chinese call this thing ... this energy ... this essence: Chi. Pronounced ch-ee. And sometimes spelled Qi. The presence of Chi ... as seen and sensed in absolutely everything ... is a fundamental undertone that shapes their whole world view, and touches everything from their concept of medicine to their ways of architecture.
Over the centuries, the Orientals ... like those of us in the West ... have constructed perspectives about how things work, have mapped out principles on which they see life operating, have devised strategies to manipulate advantages for themselves and enhance their health and comfort. Maneuvering the flow and quality of Chi is crucial to many of these thoughts and tactics.
This very approach presents us with novel concepts ... which open up new possibilities if we move to integrate some of their ideas with some of our own. The result, in my experience, has indeed been a stronger and more empowered way of managing myself and my personal world. Once you have experienced and recognized this thing ... you take it for granted and work with it the way you do the color red, the sound of the wind, and the feel of yourself located inside the structure of your own body.
As I said in the beginning ... it becomes a part of you. And you are forever changed.
