Art of Balancing Your Energy

The art of balancing energy is a dynamic rather than a static process – one waxing and waning like the moon depending upon current influences and circumstances. It necessitates continually working at making lifestyle choices that achieve balanced energy. An individual must stay centered and whole within themselves – along with being vigilant about keeping healthy boundaries to avoid becoming negatively impacted by another person’s energy and/or behavior. This is achieved through filling one’s physical body with expansive, flowing, and positive energies – leaving no room for negativity.

Deeper awareness about subtle energy dynamics is gained through becoming cognizant of how energy flows within and around oneself. Realizing how thoughts and actions impact flow of energy empowers one to make life choices that maintain balanced flow, instead of creating energetic disharmony and blockage. This includes avoiding the tendency to constrict until you are withdrawn and in the opposite extreme, expand until you are all over the place. The ultimate goal is to keep things in the middle of the spectrum, not too excessive nor deficient.

Once balance is achieved it is clearly palpable as a bodily felt sense. However, there are many things that can easily and quickly upset this harmonious state, without ever realizing that it is about to happen. It is important to avoid toxic situations and be vigilant about protecting oneself from being infiltrated by negative energies from other people. Being too critical of oneself is also a culprit for turning a completely balanced state into one fraught with inner tension and imbalanced emotions.
