How to Expand Your Energy

Notice how you feel when you are depressed, disappointed, feeling hopeless, grieving or broken-hearted. Hopefully these feelings don't occur too often for you, but when they do you will become aware of how contracted and constricted you feel in your heart and overall energy field. It is almost as it you shrink into yourself and withdraw from the world. A contracted energy field equals lowered physical energy and overall vitality.
Just at a point in time when you could really do with some love and support, your contracting energy field is likely to get the opposite result - a feeling of intense loneliness.
Don't get me wrong, it is normal and healthy to experience a full range of emotions as they arise, good and bad. The difference is that, unlike children who can be angry one minute and then playing happily the next, many adults tend to get stuck in their emotions and subconsciously struggle to expand their constricted energy field again.
Now just stop and think of something really beautiful or that makes you happy and notice how instantly you feel your heart, chest and overall energy field expanding.
If you are not sure what your energy field is, it is the electromagnetic field around your body, popularly termed the aura. Certain sensitive people may be able to see the shimmering energy field around someone, just by looking at that person with 'sleepy' slightly defocused eyes. Most of us can't actually see our energy field, yet we sense it is there and we intuitively know whether it is expanded or contracted by how we feel.

Try this interesting exercise:
•Find a quiet place to meditate
•Close your eyes and tune in to how far away from your body you sense the boundary of your energy field (a bit like an invisible wall, commonly up to about 1 metre from your physical body)
•Have the intention to consciously expand your energy field and its boundary to fill the room, as you breathe deeply.
•Continue consciously expanding your energy field in sequential steps in the following order: throughout the building you are in; across 1 km or mile; around the suburb / town; across the state; across the country and around the world.
•You will have a wonderfully expanded sense of awareness and are now a vibrational match for that which you seek
•Have the intention to now draw to you vibrationally those people and events that will help you reach your full potential.
•Stay in this wonderfully empowering expanded energy state for as long as you want as you go about your daily activities
•Ideally, with practice, holding this expanded energy field will become your natural way of being.

Just being aware of and participating in some of the following things that naturally expand your energy field will assist in this process:
•Spending time in nature
•Playing with animals and children
•Letting go of emotional baggage
•Reclaiming your power
•Forgiving yourself and/or others
•Honouring and nurturing yourself
•Making playtime a regular part of your life
•Laughing out loud
•Listening to beautiful music
•Having prosperity consciousness
•Making lifestyle changes to address stresses and frustrations
•Being content with what you already have materially
•Working in whatever nourishes you at a soul level

Of course, if you avoid doing most of the above, you are likely to feel devitalised with a constricted, contracted energy field, cut off from reaching your full potential either personally or professionally.
Take these first steps today to living in expanded energy and awareness.

Tips For Healers - Grounding and Centering

In order to keep ourselves in good energetic balance as healers we need to develop a daily routine for keeping ourselves centered and grounded. The following techniques are a couple of my favourites:

RAINBOW CENTERING TECHNIQUE
This technique using the colours of the chakras is quick and easy to perform before giving an energy healing or at any other time you need to feel more centred.

Standing with feet slightly apart, imagine bringing red light (base chakra colour) from the earth and up through all the chakras, streaming out from the crown and flowing down the outside of the body to the feet. You will now be encased in rich, glowing red.

Repeat this procedure for each of the other chakras in the following order, allowing each new colour to be drawn up from the earth and cascade down the outside of the other colours around the body to the feet:

Orange (sacral chakra)
Sunshine Yellow (solar plexus chakra)
Emerald Green (heart chakra)
Sky Blue (throat chakra)
Indigo Blue (third eye chakra)
Violet (crown chakra)

Then imagine drawing up liquid metal gold from the earth, up through all the charkas, then allowing it to flow in a fine line down the outside of the other rainbow colours. Hear the metallic “clink” as the gold locks under your feet, encasing all the colours inside it. Now you are protected in a gold eggshell. Visualise merging all the rainbow colours around you into brilliant white light. Notice how calm, balanced and centred you feel.

With practice the colours can be drawn up through the body on the in-breath and cascade down the outside on the out-breath, making this procedure very quick.

ROOTS INTO EARTH GROUNDING
When doing healing work to clear energetic blocks and to raise the vibration either for yourself or others, it is very easy to become ungrounded. This may manifest as feeling tired and washed out, vague and unfocused or “off with the fairies”.

It is advisable before starting any healing session to imagine roots, like tree roots, extending from the soles of your feet deep into the earth to anchor you firmly there. Imagine the root system becoming quite complex and reaching all the way down to the molten core of the earth. You may even like to imagine your feet are buried in soil up to the ankles.

At the conclusion of the session just reinforce the roots from your feet are still going into the ground. If you are working with someone else you may also like to visualise roots coming from their feet at the end of the session to help ground them, as well as brushing their legs down firmly towards the feet.
