How to Activate Your Energy and Feel Good

This isn’t about doing 20 minutes of yoga first thing in the morning followed by a good breakfast, although that’s no bad thing….I want to talk about your Energy Centres, your Chakras.

Whoa, I see the less spiritually minded among you rolling your eyes and preparing to click ‘close’, but before you do think about this, whether you believe in them or not, you do have energy centres so wouldn’t be nicer to have them working for you rather than against you?

I’ve limited space here and we’re all busy people, so rather than tell you all about Chakra’s I’m just going to give you a quick fix on how to get yours revved up in the morning. Once you know how, it won’t take more than 5 minutes to complete, so here goes…

Stand upright, hands to the sides, feet planted firmly on the floor. Now close your eyes and hold you hands out to the sides. Imagine bright red energy streaming up from the earth beneath your feet (visualise grass, soil, sand, not your bedroom floor). See it shoot up each leg and:

Into your groin leaving a big ball of pulsing red energy behind

Into your pelvis just below your belly button where it leaves a big pulsing circle of orange energy

Into your solar plexus, just under your ribs where it forms into a sphere of golden yellow energy

On into your heart where it turns into a globe of vivid green energy

Up into your throat where it generates a big ball of bright blue energy

Up to your brow, between your eyes, where it leaves a circle of violet energy

Up to the top of your head where it stays and pulses as a big brilliant white ball.

That’s it. Your energy centres are now awakened and you can now proceed with your day confident that you have all the energy you need to cope with whatever life throws your way.

9 Reasons to Be Glad

Today is the first time in a good few days that I’ve woken up to sunshine. It’s still a little grey but I’m choosing to see past that in favour of the snatches of blue sky I glimpse waiting to come through.

Days like this, when it is sunny and bright, are great days to just forget about your worries and anything that is getting you down and just be.

Forget about worrying about work, the bills, what you should or shouldn’t eat, your hair, your body, your wardrobe and just be.

1. Be glad, you’ve woken to a sunny day.

2. Be glad you have a job (so many people are unemployed).

3. Be glad you have hair (think of all those people spending thousands trying to get make theirs re-grow).

4. Be glad you have a good body (do I even need to express this one? Do you have all your limbs? Do you have a debilitating or degenerative illness? Does your body move when you ask it to?)

5. Be glad that your children are happy and healthy

6. Be glad you have a partner in your life (many people don’t)

7. Be glad that you have family (some people don’t)

8. Be glad that you have friends (some people don’t)

9. Be glad you have something to be glad for…

We can all find something in our lives that to be thankful for. Whatever it is, just be glad.
