HI, AND WELCOME TO MY BLOG!

This site is all about CHANGE - Change with a Big 'C'

Change is the underlying theme, changing our way of thinking! For our own benefit!

We have all been 'conditioned' to comply with the requirements of our society's way of doing things.

Can we break out?

If you are ready for a whole new way of looking at the world, its environment, ourselves as human beings and everything we see around us and in our lives then you might be interested to read on! You will read of the conventional viewed from an unconventional perspective.

It is easy to carry on as we are, doing things in the ways passed down to us by our ancestors but to do so would be wasting a wonderful existence for us all in this lifetime.

From my viewpoint, change is required very soon if we are to survive as a collective of beings.

Have you often felt out of place, sort of 'out of time', even with your own family and friends? A feeling that something is 'not quite right', but you could never quite put your finger on what that something is?

Perhaps you are a fellow 'pioneer'. You may have within you a special strength to usher in what is needed, what is new, as a way of thinking.

I look forward to posting here the collective of my lifetime's experiences, personal development issues and inspirational thoughts for your reflection.

I know that, in the process, I will gain significant insights from your interaction and feedback.

ENERGY


Observe any places or situations where you seem to get your energy from.

Concentrate on the people who have made you feel valued, and work on attracting those types of people to you. What is it about them that makes you feel energised?

Which people boost your energy and which seem to drain it or sap it from you? Have you noticed that some people really uplift your spirits? Be with those sort of people as often as you can.

Listen to your True Self and ask honestly do you feel energised in these peoples’ company or do you actually feel drained? It’s a fascinating study of your inner feelings, be sensitive to them for they are vital to your current and future well-being.
How would you feel if you were in the company of people you felt energised by all the time? - Purposeful, Powerful, Happy, Bright, Comfortable, Content?

Do things in your spare time that make you feel inspired and energised.

ENERGY + CONFIDENCE + FREEDOM = WAY FORWARD ON THE PATH TO YOUR BEST LIFE

If you are Energised, Confident and have Freedom to do what you love you will become naturally creative.

If you are confident you will have more energy than someone who hasn’t.

If you are doing your Life’s Purpose you will feel fully energised.

ENERGY - don’t stand too rigidly. Bend your knees slightly, soften the base of your back, open your chest and take a few slow deep breaths.

Use a combination of lots of techniques - the combination is for you to choose, because you like them and find them easy and fun. This is what is right for you.

There is no competition in this work, we all have our own unique way of accessing our highest energy levels.

Be Unlimited in your way of thinking - Add your own ideas.

Be Yourself. No point living a life someone else thought for you. You will only get your full Life’s Energy when you follow your own path.

Do something uncharacteristic and enjoy it no matter what others might say. It’s your life - enjoy it.

Don’t limit yourself to what you have always done. Remember your life up to now has been governed by your early conditioning (that you have accepted). You can now open yourself out to your true unique potential. Get a New Life from now on – the one you always wanted but didn’t allow yourself to have. Energy flows with bright new ideas.

If you can’t get yourself to think of New Ideas get a personal Life Coach in to help you uncover what would really motivate you, maybe things you've forgotten about that you really love.

If there is something you have always wanted to do but never quite got round to it – GET ON WITH IT, DO IT NOW. Whether it’s taking up sailing, building a shed of your own, travelling the world or eating different types of food - you’re the only one that’s stopping you. Take responsibility for your own life and DO IT. See your energy levels rise as you unblock these stoppages.

If you had a chart that automatically monitored your level of energy each day for a month, what percentage would be high and which low. Draw it on a graph (produce a blank one to fill in). Then plot where you would prefer it to be, bearing in mind that we sleep and rest some of the time each day!!
How would you like to go about making the changes?
When would you like to start?
When would you like to have achieved those levels?

Q. Do you think certain colours have more energy vibration than others?
Q. Do you feel better when you see certain colours around you?
Try wearing different colours each day and see how you feel with each.

Try placing objects, pictures or furnishings with different colours around your home. See if you can find the combinations that energise you.

This is your Energy Requirement Directive.

Energy can be like a fountain, it can be small and flowing slowly or it can be 50 ft. high, bursting with endless force into the world, it can propel you forward in a way you never envisaged.
Perhaps you thought that it’s something others possessed but that you would never attain it in that way. But you can. That high level, that all powerful force is within each and every one of us waiting to be unleashed. Open up your natural channels for it to propel you forward to your best life. You can have it TOO!

Energy comes from your thoughts – your way of thinking – It’s about enthusiasm and positive feeling, combined with intention and motive you can achieve great things in your life for yourself, for those around you and for mankind.

Your body is a wonderful vehicle and you need to nurture it in a way that will best suit your purpose to use all this energy you are going to unleash. Do not think you can create energy for it already within you waiting to be unleashed. It is like a huge pool waiting to be tapped, an endless supply topped up whenever you call upon it. If you think that you do not have energy in abundance you have not yet found your natural way in life, your path of greatest purpose.

Nurturing your Mind, your Body and your Spirit are all key to opening yourself up to the power and energy within your very Being.

Carry your energy and enthusiasm through to every aspect of your life and see how people react to you. Energy combined with respect for yourself and all those you come into contact with guides you to a full and contented life.

Remember, energy used in a positive way can move mountains, yet energy used in a negative destructive pattern will only serve to harm yourself, others and the earth.

Use your energy thoughtfully. Use your energy for a higher purpose, for your higher purpose.

Correct and effective use of your breathing can begin to energise you, try out different methods and see which ones are good for you. The list is almost endless, here are a few examples : -

Certain postures can be very energising – try Semi-Supine combined with gentle breathing. Think positive words on the in breath and imagine discarding old ideas with the out breath.

Some people are energised at the top of mountains, others whilst in the deepest wooded countryside and others by the sea. We are all different and unique. Where is your favourite place? Visit it often and observe what it is that you feel there. How do you change inside, in your thoughts? Try putting it into words and writing them down, imagine a symbol that describes it to you for later or draw a picture of it. Look at these often and bring to your mind the essence of what you felt there.

I have always loved being by the sea – the openness, the colours the sounds of the waves and the gulls, the smells and sense of happiness there. I never cease to enjoy the wholeness of it and I feel so much better for having been there.

A certain amount of the right type of physical exercise can be amazing for increasing your energy levels. Opening the chest and breathing in the life force of the atmosphere is uplifting and energising. If you open up wide and try to feel depressed it is almost impossible.

If you have a hobby that you love and can’t wait to get to it again does it make you feel good when you are immersed in it? Do you feel energised by it? I’m sure you do. Have you noticed how time flies when you are enjoying yourself? You may not have realised it at the time but you then had the experience of boundless energy flow. Of course, you may have been tired at the end of it, this is natural, but sometimes we can look back on having done something and wondered where on earth we got the motivation and energy to ever think of doing it, let alone to carry it out!

So we see that doing something we love can automatically bring us all the energy we need to sustain us. We feel fulfilled.
Therefore : Do what you love to do and your energy levels will never let you down, your energy is there for life waiting for you to tap into it and live your best life.

You might say that there is something that you love to do but for some reason you can’t even summon up the energy to do it at certain times. It may be that you have a limiting belief that is withholding the permission for you to do it. This is something we will be looking at during the sessions.

Your breath could be said to be the energy source of your very life. Use it to it’s full and combine it with confidence, fearlessness and freedom and a sense of knowing your life’s purpose. Your breath is the vital force you need to propel yourself forward for you to fulfil your potential greatest achievements. Enjoy yourself and smile throughout!

Some people find that being out in the sun energises them, others find it very tiring, so what is right for you may not necessarily be good for someone else. There are no rules. Being out on a windy day can be exhilarating, uplifting and energising for some, others would find it irritating and unpleasant.
The reason for this may depend on a whole range of things, your point of view, your beliefs about the weather, your physical body’s condition. Your attitude to life; do you have an ingrained limiting belief that ‘it’s bad to go out in strong wind or inclement weather conditions’ or ‘wind makes me unsettled’ or ‘the sun is bad for the body’. Whatever you think, they are your own beliefs and thoughts and you are quite entitled to retain them. There is always a reason for having any point of view. Where do you think yours come from?

When you are energised and on your true path in life, life is easy and can be fun.
If you are feeling excited about what you are doing how do you feel? Lethargic, tired, down, weak? Of course not. You feel absolutely the opposite - Up, strong, awake, ENERGISED.
So the essence of this is that the more you can do or concentrate on what excites you, the more thoughts of energy will come to mind.

I used to think that I had to carry on doing the job I had been originally trained for the rest of my life - to pay the bills, provide security for my household, etc. - even though I was really tired of it and it was not giving me joy any more. Just imagine spending the rest of your life doing something you have grown to detest! No energy there, because at the end of the working day doing something you felt was wrong for you, you were feeling depleted of any energy for doing whatever else there is in your life that you actually do love to do - if you can remember what that is any more! Doing what you love - as a job - will bring you all the energy you need to enable you to do it as a lucrative pastime. So there’s a pointer to your next stage - to find out who you are, what people come to you for, what you love to do and how to put those into a wholeness for fulfilling your greatest potential.
Now there’s the subject of another book…………..to be continued……………..!

Some people are energised working with natural things, like gardening, others may find clearing out their cupboards, throwing out/giving away/selling unwanted or unused stuff and making more space energises them : it’s like clearing out old energy and providing space for new things, new energy to come into their lives.

You cannot do anything without a thought. Everything you do depends on you having the thought first, before the action. We need to cultivate energising thoughts and dispel the old limiting beliefs before we can move forward in a new way. Old ways of thinking keep us doing the same things we have always done; new ways can open up new channels of energy from deep within us. These new channels can open us up to a fresh awareness of all around.

Everything in this world is energy vibrating at different frequencies. Try to imagine what frequency your food is vibrating at or your house.
How are your thoughts vibrating - at a high level or a low level - or do they vary at different times - see if you can observe them and take note of the times you like your energy best.

Some people are sensitive to vibrating sounds and it is said that some people can be cured of their depressions and lack of energy by being in the presence of vibrating objects and sounds at certain levels or frequencies. How do you feel if you hear bells vibrating the atmosphere with their energies or music or running a damp finger around the rim of a fine drinking glass partly filled with water? Isn’t Energy interesting?
Try going to a session where Tibetan bowls, bells and drums are used for uplifting peoples’ energy. You may not be affected - but on the other hand you may find it wonderfully uplifting and Energising. You won’t know until you give things a try, enjoy experimenting, give yourself the freedom to have a go at things you might at one time have thought silly Have Fun!

Overall energy levels can be improved by some degree of physical exercise - sports, dancing, yoga, Tai Chi, walking, jogging. But be careful not to do too much in the extreme, we are trying to increase energy levels, not make you constantly tired! A constant flow of bright-feeling energy will serve you better than high surges with low periods - which is how you may have felt up to now.
You may find that by making a change in your way of thinking that your energy soars instantly, but many of us will see a gradual change. Expect your energy to increase. Say to yourself regularly the Affirmation ‘My Energy Level Is Increasing’ and believe. Your Inner Wisdom will find all sorts of ways to respond to the new thought pattern and will direct you to the best ways for you to reach your goals. Set your Intentions and watch them materialise.

It has been said that ‘Life is Not a Dress Rehearsal’, so you want your highest energy levels NOW.

‘I want the sequence of thoughts that will lead to my best life which will automatically switch on my highest level of Energy’.

Laughter is energising - when did you last have a good laugh? How did you feel? Did you feel depressed, closed in, dull; No, of course not, you probably felt open, bright, colourful. You were also using your lungs to capacity and in with the air to your lungs flowed - Energy. If we can increase our energy levls by laughing a lot lets get on with it, the world would be a much nicer plac if we could all laugh often. It would surely mean that we were a happier lot. Imagine everyone in the whole world laughing at the same time, genuinely enjoying themselves, a wave of positive energy circling the globe. Doesn’t it make you feel better - ENERGISED.

Energy gently used with great purpose by a lot of people can bring huge benefits for mankind. Find you Energised Purpose, link it with the Energised Purposes of others and contribute to a wonderful pattern that all of Mankind will benefit from.

Have you noticed how if you really want to do something you have all the energy in the world with which to carry it out? A real sense of Motivation brings the energy leaping forth in order that you can carry it out. Do you have Your real Sense of Motivation? Or are you motivated by others’ requirements and wants? What is it that drives you? Try do discover what it is. Only you know the answer, and you do know it, maybe the answer is deep within you, but you do know.

YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT, AND THINK, AND DO, AND BELIEVE. A combination of all of those things.

Have you noticed how a good night’s sleep can provide you with new energy. Somehow we seem to be re-energised as if by magic. Sleep is very healing in terms of replenishing our energy, in fact sleep is essential, for it is during the process of sleep that our thoughts are renewed and reinvigorated with fresh energy.
Rest and Relaxation are equally essential to our well-being - especially when we have used our energy to capacity. Too much rest, however, can lead to lethargy and restriction of energising thoughts so we need to get the valance right for our total energy requirements.
No good imagining hat your high energy levels should keep you constantly on the move all your waking hours. We need subtle energies to ponder over our day, consider what has happened to us and think how we are feeling in the present moment NOW for Now is where we are able to access our absolute current situation - how we are feeling, what has been achieved, an overall assessment of our Being.
If we try to carry on and on without a break we ‘burn ourselves out’ and this can take its toll on our mental well-being and on our physical bodies.
Always, our Energy levels need renewal in a natural way and we can also find our own positive mind/body constructive ways to assist the natural processes of our wonderful Being.

Now…….what can you do at work when your energy levels are lower than they might be? Who has occasionally felt lacking in energy at work? Well, there are all sorts of things you can do, let’s look at a few of the simplest and least obvious: -
1. Close your eyes and do some energising deep breathing, learn different techniques at a yoga class or ask an experienced exercise instructor perhaps.
2. Do some simple body movements at the same time as coordinating them with your breathing and eyes closed; Taking your thoughts off what you are currently doing can work wonders;
3. Semi-supine position if you can leave your work area for 10-15 minutes in a rest room or in your lunch break;
4. Do some of the simple exercise routines we have been practicing, thinking internally.

It may sometimes be difficult to grasp the concept of ENERGY. What it is, where it comes from, how it gets used……where it goes to even. We might ask ‘will my energy eventually run out?’, ‘Has it already mainly run out?’, ‘How is it formed?’, ‘What does it consist of?’, ‘Will I ever get the energy to do this, that or the other?’
It many seem impossible at times. But the reality is that energy is endless, there is a constant, unlimited supply of it for each and every one of us on this planet to use, so we need not fear that we will run out of it. Only when we ‘die’ and our breathing stops is our supply for this life on earth removed.

Whilst we are alive it is constantly ‘on tap’ if we want to use it and here we have free choice as to how we tap into the supply and on what we use it. The important word here is whether we want to do anything. If we don’t want to do anything our Higher Intelligence will withdraw our smooth supply of energy until we once again decide to use thoughts and take action upon them. This is where the dis-ease of multiple sclerosis can begin. Our choices determine the thoughts we use and the levels of energy we accept and we can put the energy to use for what we would assess as either positive or negative reasons.
It seems as if a Divine Being keeps us all connected so that we can live our lives on planet earth. What a generous Being - but for what purpose? With the wonders of nature and of mankind’s capabilities that I see around me every day of my life I can see that it must be for something wondrous. But have we really grasped what this might be?
Mankind is constantly in a search for the reasons as to why we are here, what is it all for? The very fact that so many are asking these questions, to me suggests that there is a Higher reason, that the drudgery of peoples’ lives are not fulfilling them and that deep-down we know that there is an underlying purpose if we could only peel back the layers of our indoctrinations and see it. We consider there has to be something more.
Have you asked yourself similar questions? What’s more, have you tried to answer them? Your search might take you on a long journey of discovery and insights and I can’t help but feel it will be filled with interest if you undertake the trip.

If someone criticises you and you take it to heart, how do you feel? Energised? I doubt it. This can make you feel like you have been punched in the stomach, made to feel small and weak, and your energy levels can plummet accordingly. It seems to sap or drain your energy, you lose your power. In fact you are actually giving away your power if you take criticism ‘to heart’. If you were to just observe what had just been said but didn’t react internally your power would not be depleted and your energy level would stay the same. Realise that those who criticise usually have a problem themselves but can’t admit it yet their inner annoyance at themselves, inner criticism, is producing emotion which they can’t seem to keep within and work out what is bugging them so they let it out on someone external to themselves. If they loved themselves, they would love others automatically and would never think of criticising others. No-one should need to criticise another. We could each point out where we observe improvements could be made in a caring, reassuring and complementary way and discuss all aspects of what is happening in the situation. Then all would benefit instead of a win/lose situation. Criticism is judging. Criticism can be very hurtful and damaging if the one criticised has the pattern repeated through life from an early age. Constant criticism is also damaging to the person who is doing the criticising as they become obsessed with negative comments and surround themselves with negative energy. This can lead to so-called mental states or problems and also to bodily upsets in one form or another. Any change made as a result of criticism often does not have the same energy power as from positive comments.

What is your reason for wanting to boost your energy level?
What will it make you feel if you have more energy?
What will you gain in your work if you gain more energy?
When you are lacking in energy how do you feel, what does it do to you?
What causes you to feel drained?
What could you do to increase your energy at certain times?
What would you do differently in your life if you had unlimited energy?
What changes would you have to make in your life that you would naturally have unlimited energy?
Imagine yourself as the person you would be if you had this perfect energy flow. What do you look like, what do you feel like? What type of thoughts do you have? Keep this vision of yourself in this state and give him a name other than your own or think of a symbol to represent him. Now step into this vision of you as though you were putting on a new set of clothes, feel what it’s really like. Enjoy the experience and then press your right hand thumb and middle finger together. Sense the full feeling. Now step out of him again and remember that by pressing these fingers together at any time you can sense and feel that same wonderful energised you.

Don’t rely on stimulants such as tea and coffee and Pepsi to Pep you up as they are short-term boosters and only make you fee worse and dependent on them in the long term.

A sense of well-being gives you energy automatically - again this comes from your thoughts.
So what gives you a sense of well-being? Think of it often and work on it until it becomes an integral part of you. You may already have something like this in your life, notice how it works for you, what does it do to you?

Your Day
First thing in the morning - have some fruits as your first food - orange, grapefruit, something tangy. This sends a message to yourself that you are giving it something natural and enlivening for your taste-buds. You’ll probably say ‘‘that tastes good’’ a positive message, encouraging………..energising thinking!
