Energy Balancing

Low Energy – can be an indication of an underlying ailment.

Other causes are our busy lifestyles they often disrupt our connection with the life force.

Treatments of infections with antibiotics further deplete energy.

Sources of energy – from the outside they are food and breath.

We can also produce energy through the mind, by meditation, peace of mind, and deep sleep.

Decreases of energy are caused by wrong diet, wrong breathing – shallow or hurried, use of drugs, excess sex and negative life actions.

Distractions such as gossip, small talk, worry, over-thinking, dissipate mental energy.

Everything we do in life is a form of reception and transmission of energy. When what we do is wholesome, such as impressions from nature, the mind is given positive energy. When living is unwholesome, unnatural and, artificially stimulated, the mind develops negative energy.

Once vital energy becomes reduced to a critical point, it is difficult to replenish.

Peace of the soul.

The most important source of energy is our own soul. It is the source of prana or life force. If we are not in contact with that internal source, we are entirely dependent on external sources which are limited as they possess a certain entropy or tendency toward decay.

Connecting with our internal source of inspiration and following our true dharma or right vocation, is attuning ourselves to our soul.

How to increase energy

First we must remove the factors that reduce it, such as all negative life energy, negative attitudes and emotions. We do this by changing our internal and external environment where negativity prevails.

Energy blocks.

One can encounter two energy impaired situations.

a) The energy is low,

b) The energy is blocked, it appears low, but in actuality it is not flowing properly. This happens often with young people during their development years.

Symptoms of blocked energy are:  excess tension, bent up or repressed emotions with occasional emotional outbursts.

Cure – selfanalysis, physical exercise and creative mental activity. 

Life - style changes, if life has become stagnant. This may require change of job, residence or relationship, or otherwise breaking up our old patterns of inertia.

The Aura

Most disease involves disruption in the vital energy field, or the aura. The aura reveals any energy imbalance we may have. It is the field of our positive vitality.

The aura wards off disease and maintains the integrity of body and mind.

The condition of the aura can be read through the complexion of the skin, the luster of the eyes and to some extent the pulse.

Pranayama, gems, mantra and meditation have the most power to improve the aura. The aura is the effect of our daily thoughts and actions. A healthy life style improves the aura.

According to yoga, chanting Om expands the aura, ram protects it, hum ward off negative energy.

Other ways to improve the aura are creating a sacred space. This may be a meditation room, an altar, or any defined sacred area where we can connect to the cosmic Being or the inner Self.

Weakening of the aura

Our aura is weakened when we give our mind over to an external influence; the aura on an inner level is the function of the power of our consciousness.

External influences are of an astral or psychological nature, as well as physical. Giving up our minds to the power of another personality weakens the aura.

Many forms of channeling or mediumship, wherein we allow other entities to inhabit or work through us, can also have this effect.

Balancing Energy and Spiritual Development

We cannot through our human and egotistical effort find that what is truth and eternal. Yet hidden within our nature (Prakriti), is a power of spiritual development (Shakti), an energy of Divine grace.

We can harmonize our nature or mind-body complex and allows this hidden power to come forth. It will lead the way, giving us the energy and capacity for spiritual growth and change.
