| 04/04/2022In studying the 5 Elements of Chinese Medicine, I’m learning how to clear and balance energy in myself and others. I decided to study this so I could feel more in control of my own energy.
Maybe you feel drained of energy most of the time and are wondering why you don’t have the pep you’d like to have to do what you want to do. In our dense earth plane, it is easy to pick up negative energy and thoughts from the collective, news, and people we interface with. But we also create our own energy problems without being consciously aware of it through our own thought patterns, beliefs and emotions.
When energy is brought back into balance, things can change. To really thrive, it is important to learn how to manage your own energy. When we grow up, we often don’t see people who know how to model how to effectively manage their energy. Maybe you have witnessed this - any thought that comes along can sweep some people away in it. They treat the thought or feeling as true when in fact it is just a thought. So maybe we think this is how things are meant to be and we don’t know any different.
Please note that I am not suggesting that anyone repress their feelings. This never works and can lead to health problems and repeating behavioral patterns. Instead, we allow the feelings to move through and process quickly. Every time you have a feeling, it moves the Chi (life force) in your body which can be either detrimental to you or healthy, positive and affirming. The goal is to become more and more aware of how a feeling is affecting you and ways to work more effectively with your feelings and thought patterns.
If you struggle with fatigue or feel scattered with your energy, it is my hope that this article will help you become aware of the 5 most common thought patterns and emotions (based on Chinese medicine) that cause imbalances in your energy and your life.
Instead here are 5 Ways to direct your Life Energy and work with your thought patterns in a more positive way.
Exercise: For the next week, pay attention to how often you find yourself experiencing any of these 5 thought or emotional patterns that cause you to feel depleted, or out of balance energetically.
Awareness is the first step in the healing/energy balancing process. Peace, love and blessings.
