How to understand energy in relation to our body

I often receive questions from people, including clients, about energy and how it relates to their bodies. Sometimes, they struggle to comprehend how energy operates within them. The first thing you must understand is that EVERYTHING IS ENERGY. Our bodies and everything on this planet consist of energy. We can visually perceive physical objects with our eyes because the vibration of the energy they are made of is slow. However, they are still ENERGY.

Higher vibrations of energy are invisible. You can see a radio, but you cannot see the wavelengths. Sound still travels, and the radio serves as both the receiver and the output.

We operate in a similar manner. Let me provide two examples:

Imagine a transparent glass cup filled with coffee. It appears dark, right? Now, picture pouring a bit of milk into it. What happens? The coffee lightens. The more milk you add, the lighter the coffee becomes. In fact, if you continue pouring milk without stopping, it will overflow, and you'll see the coffee spilling out until there's nothing left but milk.

Energetically, we function in a similar way. At some point in your life, or perhaps several times, you have entered a room or met someone, and you immediately sensed they were in a bad mood or that something was wrong. You might have even said they had "bad energy." We tend to store negative emotions in our bodies. Our natural state is to be clear and free of darkness or negativity. If you imagine yourself like a cup of coffee, you too can lighten your energy.

How, you ask? Running your energy is one effective method. Start by acknowledging that you might be carrying some negativity and that you want to fill yourself with light. All you need to do is visualize this process.

Guided imagery can be incredibly powerful. Here's an example:

Picture yourself at a drive-through bank. You know how you send a deposit in a tube, and it travels to the teller? You can release your negativity in a similar manner. Imagine placing your negativity into the cylinder and sending it to the center of the earth for recycling. After you've let it go, visualize it returning, empty but filled with revitalizing positive energy to replenish your body. Open it and absorb it.

You can also envision God showering His love upon you from above. Open your mind and heart, and visualize God sprinkling golden flakes of love all over your body, starting at the top of your head and descending through your entire system.

With time and practice, as you consistently release any darkness or negativity, you'll raise your vibration and begin to feel better. Whenever you experience emotions like anger or frustration, consider using guided meditation or similar techniques to visualize those emotions leaving your body. They don't belong there; visualize them departing.

My decision to Finally Heal and focus on myself.

I've always been interested in herbs, healing, and self-care. However, I wasn't really good at taking care of myself. Can you relate? My decision to start on my personal healing path began when I turned 30. But the action to be serious and actually start working on myself didn't happen until a year later when I turned 31. My decision to heal should have taken place when I was 27 and was hospitalized for 7 days with DVT (deep vein thrombosis) and PE (pulmonary embolism). You would think that having your entire leg filled with blood clots and two in your lungs would wake you up and show you that you need to change your life. No, on the first day I was in the hospital, I was so worried about my job that I had to have my computer to continue working. I remember asking my boss if I was going to get fired or if I would still have a job, and he laughed at how ridiculous I sounded. He told me to focus on getting better. However, I wasn't willing to take that risk, and I worked from the hospital bed, miserable about being tied there for 7 days.

Years later, I had all my close girlfriends out for my 30th birthday. I happened to be living in Florida at the time, so we had a great time. I remember the first night we were together, and I made a toast/declaration. I said, "From here on out, the next 30 years are going to be about me and balance. I'm going to have a life and not work as much." Well, they ALL laughed and basically said, "Yeah, right." My girlfriends knew me really well. They knew that I was a workaholic and put my job before anything else. They had all witnessed me prioritize my career over my relationships and saw it lead to their demise. They were also aware that I was constantly flying out to different places for work and was only home a few days a week. How could I possibly have a life? I was disturbed by their response, but deep down, I knew they were right. However, I was convinced I was going to change.

My birthday was in June, and a year later, in July, I realized that nothing had changed. I was still working crazy hours, and I still had no life. Playing volleyball once a week was about all I did for myself personally. Oh, and spending money on food and retail items, which made me feel better. Anyway, I was frustrated that a year had gone by, and my job was even more stressful. That year had been miserable. Looking back, I had made a promise to my spirit, and the year was so tough because I started seeing how I was sacrificing myself for things that didn't matter. I was making poor decisions and putting myself last. Well, enough was enough. I left my job a month after I turned 31, and this was my prayer: "God, please bring me like-minded people. Please help me on my healing path and put me on the path to my destiny."

Three weeks later, I received a phone call from a good friend who was the owner of a network marketing company. We had talked a few years back, and I had told him I couldn't leave my job because I was making too much money to make a change. Well, he knew what my salary was, so if he was offering me something now, it might be around the same. When we spoke, and he suggested I interview, I said no, as I had just quit my job and planned a trip to Israel in a few months. I wasn't looking for employment. He began to tell me that they had a group of healers who were doing really well with the product, but the company didn't know how to work with them. He thought of me because he said they were selling the product like crazy because it had "good vibrations." He said it with so much laughter because he didn't understand that concept. He said they needed me because I spoke their language. Well, I decided to interview to hear more because he had piqued my curiosity.

I ended up making an offer of a salary and a place to live. I didn't think for a million years that they would hire me at my desired salary, which was $8,000 more a year than what I was getting paid in my previous job. I thought that by putting a high price out there, they would say no, and I would have to continue with my original plan. To my surprise, they accepted my offer, and I got the job. I'm sharing this part of my story because God played a significant role in it. He knew I was still motivated financially, and He had put me in contact with like-minded people who could help me on my healing journey. To this day, they are my spiritual family. I asked, and I received. For that, I am always thankful.

It hasn't been an easy road for healing. I thought that since I made the decision to heal, my life would be easy.

EGO- what is it exactly? Does your Rule your life?

Ego is not just about being conceited, as most people have related to it. Everyone has an ego, some stronger and more noticeable than others. Ego represents one's "self" or "identity." How do you identify yourself? Does your ego rule you? Maybe you're not sure or perhaps you need help with it. Either way, you should know whether you are operating out of your ego or your higher self. If you operate from your higher self rather than ego, you will see your life improve. Your relationships will improve, as will your work relationships. You will be connected with your higher self once you start understanding your ego.

The thing is, we don't have to fight it, hate it, or reject it. We need to learn how to work with it and understand it.

Our ego wants to rule our body. It's also the voice in your mind that may tell you that you can't do something or that you aren't good enough. Why does it do that? It does so to prevent your higher self from ruling your physical body. It's all about control and being in the forefront. If you get your ego in check, it has to move to the background, and then you are connected to your higher self, and your spirit begins to speak. Your spirit has your best interests at heart, wanting you to operate out of your highest nature. This allows you to see your true calling, true nature, and be aware of your intuitive gifts, which everyone possesses. You'll start to feel free, happy, loving, and more. You will also be able to see the love and potential in other people.

Here are ways to identify if you are operating from your ego. Ask YOURSELF:

1. Do I judge people?
2. Do I judge myself?
3. Do I self-criticize?
4. Do I criticize others? (This usually happens to divert focus from self.)
5. Do I tell people what they should do but don't do it myself? (Hypocrisy)
6. Am I focused on negative situations?
7. Am I listening to those negative thoughts?
8. Do I surround myself with people who operate from their egos?
9. Do my emotions get the best of me?

These are just a few questions to ponder. If you regularly engage in any of these behaviors, consider moving away from them. Start looking at your behaviors. How are you responding to people? How are you relating to people?

The first step in understanding and identifying if you are operating from your ego is to take a look at your behavior. If you recognize it, notice it, and then start to change it.

Letting go of judgment was one of the hardest things I had to do because I didn't even realize how often I was judging myself and others. When we judge, we don't allow others to be themselves. There is no love or kindness in judgment.

To fully heal yourself, you need to start from within, and working on your ego is a great place to start.

If you need suggestions or want me to elaborate on this subject, please email me, and we can discuss it.

I've done a lot of work on my ego and shadow self. It wasn't a pretty process, and I'm still working on it. The one thing I can say is that I fully recognize when my ego tries to intervene. It becomes a more manageable challenge if you let it be!

Be your higher self. Let your light shine. Act in kindness. Love yourself and everyone.

Peace,
Carolyn
