Emotional Energy and What Impacts It

Emotions are energy. Actually, emotional energy is energy in motion. While it is true that the hours you work and the amount of sleep you get contribute to your energy levels, energy is derived as much from your emotional well-being as it does from all that is happening around you.

Your emotional energy is an energy thermometer and can often signal a personal energy crisis. Your life may be full and satisfying but it may also be too full. You may find yourself overwhelmed and running on empty.

We are told to take care of our bodies, but leave our souls to languish. It is not selfish to work at our soul health. Emotional energy is the fuel that powers our physical and mental engines.

Caring for our emotional energies start with a regular connection with nature and spending time alone if you are an introvert or time with others if you are an extrovert. Know that the most debilitating drain on energy is self-criticism. Be sure to catch any negative chatter that goes on in your brain and restate it. Turn negative self-talk into positives.

Another energy destroyer is a lack of boundaries—the inability to set parameters around how we want to be treated and how far we are willing to accept behaviors. You’ve heard the saying, “Get a life.” Personalizing your life increases your energy and fuels your well-being.

Pay attention to when the expectations of others interfere with your own wants and needs. Don’t allow their ideas of your duties and responsibilities to crowd your days and rob you of the joy of daily living. And, whatever you do, don’t worry. Worry is merely practicing over and over again, in relentless repetition, something without a solution that may never happen.

Tapping and Emotional Balance 

Imagine tapping away all that emotional burden you’ve been caring and even any chronic pain you’re experiencing. Yes, it’s absolutely possible! Imagine no acupuncture, no pills, no injections, and no doctor visits. Imagine a healing from emotional and physical ailments without the cost of a professional. EFT tapping may be the answer and often works where nothing else will to maintain emotional and even physical balance. EFT—emotional freedom technique—breathes fresh air into the healing process by borrowing from the Chinese, the meridian system. While acupuncture, acupressure and the like primarily focuses on physical ailments, EFT stands back from this ancient process and points it at emotional issues as well.

EFT is a way to heal the body, relieve physical pain, release emotional traumas and create a life of abundance and joy, and does it through this strange looking, but wildly effective technique, Nick Ortner calls “tapping.”

EFT is closely related to acupuncture, but it doesn’t use needles. Instead, it uses a simple two-pronged process that allows you to mentally “tune in” to specific psychological problems while stimulating the body’s meridian points by tapping on them with our fingertips.

Properly done, EFT appears to balance disturbances in the meridian system and often reducing conventional therapies from years to months, hours to minutes.

How Does EFT Work?

The basic Tapping process is easy to learn and can be performed anywhere, with impressive do-it-yourself results. Need a boost when psychologically challenged, concentrate on the problem and tap. The basic technique is portable and costs nothing. There is no special education or special tools required.

The body, like everything in the universe, is composed of energy. Restore balance to the body’s energy, and you will mend the negative emotions and physical symptoms that stem from energy disruption. Tapping restores the body’s energy balance, and negative emotions are conquered.

The Chinese discovered 100 meridian points that when stimulated, would heal. Acupuncture takes years to master. Acupuncture practitioners must memorize hundreds of meridian points along the body and the proper use of needles. Tapping requires no such education. It gives you the power to heal yourself, putting control over your destiny and health back into your hands. EFT operates on the premise that no matter what part of your life needs improvement, there are unresolved emotional issues standing in the way of healing. It is common knowledge that any kind of emotional stress can impede the natural healing potential of the human body.

Research done at a prestigious university found that the brain’s stress and fear response is controlled by an almond-shaped part of your brain called the amygdala. It was discovered that stimulating the meridian points as used in acupuncture, acupressure, and of course, tapping, controls the affects stress and fear create. The points that have to be stimulating and the mental exercises that have to be practiced can be located on any number of websites.

To have quick access to the technique, and get answers to your questions, seek out Nick Ortner, the creator of EFT.

Daily Balance & Forging Forward

Bottom line: Say, “yes” to yourself and be mindful of the fact that unmade decisions and postponed projects kill your energy stores. The quality and quantity of your emotional energy supply is completely within your control whether you employ EFT or any other modality. The quality of our lives directly correlates to our emotional energy. There are few things with which we have so much power. Take yours in hand and assume the responsibility of putting more joy in your life. When we have more joy, we give more away.

Intuition vs Instinct

Intuition, as important as it is, is not the same as instinct. The words intuition and instinct are often used inter-changeably but are completely different. Intuition is an innate knowledge or belief of something you can’t explain but you know is right. Instinct, on the other hand, is an autonomic response to stimuli without thinking. An instinctive human reaction is to raise your hand when you think someone might strike you. It is a natural behavior that functions according to fixed patterns, but intuition is a mental process that happens outside the realm of preset behaviors.

The Power of Intuition

Intuition is a process that takes place in the mind. It uses past events, and insignificant information and unrecognized trivia, to aid our perception. With intuition, you may find that somehow you are able to recognize things and situations not plainly evident. It is an unexplainable insight that nudges you to see beyond the obvious. For example, you may sense someone is not telling you the truth. You have no explanation for it, but your gut tells you something is not right. Intuition is the thoughts and feelings you have about a particular situation that can’t be explained or justified by logic, and is often correct.

Your spirit is disseminating emotions, experiences, feelings, and acquired knowledge that gives you what is called intuitive instruction. It is intuition that is prompting you—instructing you—to consider what you are feeling and what your other faculties are saying. Intuition has the ability to talk to us in unexpected ways. It works with both your conscious and unconscious mind. It also uses your body to send messages unique to you.

Our mind has the ability to archive all kinds of information not logged in on a conscious level. We often pick up information subconsciously without comprehending it, such as body language, tone of voice, or a particular look. It is quite possible that your intuition has been working for you your entire life and has always sent you messages you should have heeded.

The voice of intuition can be so strong and so persistent that it leaves you without rest until you carry out its dictates. You can learn to fully recognize your intuition’s nudging in time and with practice. And when you do, that feeling of persistent nudging should always get your attention. So, pay attention to your intuition and watch for any physical responses. It may be intuition sending you a message.

The Steps to Increasing Your Intuitive Power

The point to most everything in life is to become better at whatever talents and skills we were gifted. The same is true for anything within the psychic realm. Today we’ll discuss what foundational principles are essential for psychic growth.

Clairvoyants are those with an exceptional ability to gaze into the spiritual realm through their mind’s eye and detect things exhibited as nonphysical energies. Everyone is endowed with some measure of clairvoyance. The trick is to learn how to increase your clairvoyant power and make better sense of the world around you.

• The first and foremost foundation for increasing any psychic power, regardless of the extent of that power, is to put self aside. It is essential that you rely on the power of the universe and not yourself. The universe is attempting to speak through you, so don’t limit it with self.
• Take time to relax. Meditate and breathe slowly. Rid your mind of every thought. Meditation alone will change your brain waves, decrease your metabolic rate and relieve tension.
• To increase your clairvoyant skills, be sure to maintain a positive attitude at all times and believe in what you are doing. A level of faith is essential. If you think it isn’t going to work, it won’t. You can’t be in tune with your mystic gifts unless you are at peace with yourself, your beliefs, and others.
• Overcome any fears you have about being a psychic. Psychic contacts and other supernatural phenomena can be frightening, but fear can hinder your ability more than negativity. If you want to get in touch with your spiritual side, you can’t be afraid of what you will learn or see. Instead, think of the good you can do with the power you were given.
• Practice. You need to become familiar with the process of connecting with the spiritual realm. You have to learn what to expect and what your skills are capable of doing. You can’t just have a fleeting experience with something as serious and as discerning as messages sent from the universe. Practice enough to learn to trust it and correctly interpret the messages you receive.
• Take time to feel what it means to be in the moment and gain confidence in what you are learning. Move your familiarity with your clairvoyant skills from friend to companion.
• And whatever you do, remember any use of your powers should be for the benefit of others, not for personal gain or recognition. People who become selfish with their skills tend to lose them, and your perceptions and interpretations will only be a projection of self—an unreliable reading.

You will hear me give this advice often. Forgetting self is the foundation of any psychic practice at any level. A serious and giving mindset is path to expanding your power. If you are unsure of what powers you may have, take a look at chapter six in Take the Leap. You’ll get a good introduction to what it means to be psychic.

First Things First: The Skinny on Psychic Ability and Intuition

Intuition is an important function of the human mind. It is a real and scientific phenomenon. It is as real as your physical body, and exists alongside your thoughts and emotions. Intuition is the strongest connection you have to your own subconscious. It also gives you unprecedented access to the source of all creativity, wisdom as well as a unique level of discernment.

The more you listen to your intuition, and the more you act on what it tells you, the more sensitive and confident about its messages you will become.

The value intuition has on our lives is often dismissed. Our western values teach us not to trust our intuition. And because of that, many of us spend inordinate amounts of time discounting every message our subconscious sends and then regretting any decision we made as a result of listening.

Intuition has a difficult time getting past the rational mind. You can’t explain intuition, but you can come to know it and trust it. You see intuition is the difference between our intellectual, logical mind and the more encompassing realm of spirit. Logic is how the mind knows reality; intuition is how the spirit experiences that reality.

Malcolm Gladwell, in his bestselling book, Blink, describes situations where we can do your best thinking when we don’t think at all. His book is about the power of intuition although he does not call it that. Gladwell believes the phenomenon of intuition is wrongly defined. He believes the concept relates solely to emotional reactions and gut feelings that don’t appear to be rational. However, he believes messages that come in the blink of an eye—the first two seconds it is received—is completely rational. He goes on to say that what happens, “… is just thinking that moves a little faster and operates a little more mysteriously than the kind of deliberate, conscious decision-making we usually associate with thinking.”

The Must-Knows of Accessing Your Intuition

1. No Second Guessing: To enhance the reliability of your intuition don’t second guess it or doubt it before you get a chance to act on it.
2. Listen to Your Body: Obey the sensations going on in your body and don’t allow outside pressures to influence you.
3. Say Yes to Enlightened Moments: Allow any “ah-ha” moments to guide your actions, and if you have to, ask for guidance from your higher power. You may get an eerie feeling about someone that comes in a flash. But, stay with it and don’t hurry onto the next thought or lose the insight.
4. Fear vs. Unbiased vs. Hope: As you become adept at interpreting your intuitions, you will need to distinguish unbiased intuition from fear-based or hopeful thinking disguised as intuition.
5. Be in Neutrality: Reliable intuitive messages are usually delivered unemotionally, although they may have a compassionate, affirming tone. They often come through as clear and crisp with a detached sensation.
6. TRUST: The word of the day is “trust.” When it comes to listening to your intuition, “trust it.” Your subconscious is communicating important information. Trust it. Trust your gut.

You’re Ready: Now, Let’s Turn Up the Power of Your Intuition

To increase the power of your intuition, you will have to identify and release any core beliefs you have about the validity of intuition. You will have to separate past emotional reactions and hurts from messages your intuition may be trying to send.

To claim your intuitive powers, admit you don’t have data to support your decision, but you are going with your gut anyway. If what your intuition is telling you is contrary to what things appear to be, go with your intuition.

Great leaders in history and people we hold in great esteem are not people who used spreadsheets to convince a skeptical audience of their views or decide what path to follow. They argued their position form their own base of credibility and conviction—the decisions they made because of the prompting of intuition.

Everyone knows that hard data is essential for certain kinds of decision-making, but not everyone knows or appreciates the power of listening to your gut—your intuition.

Everyone has an experience where they realized their intuition was right and that they should have gone with their gut. That is because intuition is more right than it is ever wrong.

Sometimes your intuition will tell you to wait—to wait and make a decision or wait for additional information before you make a decision. The power of the collective consciousness of the universe and your higher self often collaborate with your intuition to deliver information. Your intuition may be saying to wait for that collaboration to happen.

You may often find that logic feels better but your gut denies it. Go with your gut. Remember, intuition isn’t witchcraft. It is a phenomenon God has given for our protection and edification that anyone can use.

Summing it Up!

You’ve learned the importance and impact intuition has on our lives. Intuition is an important function of the human mind. It is a real and scientific phenomenon. It is as real as your physical body and exists alongside your thoughts and emotions. Intuition is the strongest connection you have to your own subconscious.

What’s Next? Here’s What …

Intuition and Your Energy Color

Edgar Cayce, the famous American mystic once said, “At any time a soul will give off—through vibrations—the story of itself and the condition in which it now exists. So, when I see an aura, I see the man as he is.”

It is those vibrations he speaks of that we perceive as color. And, it is the intensity of those colors that indicate the condition of a soul. Today, you’ll learn how you—or anyone who desires it—can see and read their own energy colors and/or the energy colors of others.

Putting Your Big Toe In: Psychic Ability and Learning Energy Color

Each person has an aura that reflects his or her personal energy. Most people have an aura that surrounds them in about a 3-foot radius, extending for 18 to 24 inches from the body. People who have endured trauma and tragedy often have larger auras.

An aura can come in many colors and/or exhibit a dominant color. It’s rare that an aura will be only one color. Some can be a composite of rainbow colors.

Every aura consists of seven levels/layers/auric bodies. Each body has its own unique frequency. And, each body is interrelated, and each affects that another as well as a person’s feelings, emotions, thinking, behaviors, and health. In other words, an imbalance in one of the bodies can lead to an imbalance in the others.

It wasn’t until the invention of Kirlian photography, that auras could be validated beyond that of a psychic’s word. The process, named after Semyon Kirlian, who accidentally discovered color emanating from individuals did so when an object on a photographic plate was connected to a high-voltage source. The image that was produced showed colors undetectable by the human eye.

Clairvoyants have always been able to perceive these colors long before Kirlian’s discovery. Professional clairvoyants have always used the information to enhance their psychic readings and energy healings, even at a distance. There’s a lot of information available for someone gifted with this type of sight. It is a special gift and skill that should be honed because it increases the depth and experience of any psychic reading.

You can tap into that information too. If you would like to, choose the best conditions you can before you begin.

1. Place yourself, or your subject, in the front of a softly lit white background. You will be able to see the aura better against white and when you do, you’ll gain invaluable confidence.
2. It is also important to note that before you can perceive an energy field in someone else, you will have to perceive your own energy field first. To open your vision and enable you to perceive energy frequencies, choose one spot to look on yourself or subject and concentrate on that. The middle of the forehead—the location of one’s Chakra or Third Eye—is best. In ancient times, a view into one’s Chakra was an invitation to look within and view the aura that exists outside.
3. Once you’ve done that, concentrate on the area for 30 to 60 seconds or longer. Then use your peripheral vision to notice the surroundings. Be careful not to lose your concentration. The quality of your concentration will increase your sensitivity and multiply the affect of the Aura vibrations reaching your eyes.

Soon you will notice a impact of color on the background. The person will appear brighter or have a definite color emanating from against the white background. If you are attempting to see your own aura, follow the same procedure, but use a mirror.

Each color in an aura has meaning. For example, yellow has a specific physical correlation to the spleen. Which may be important in cases of healing. Green variations will come from people who work for the public good like teachers and doctors, or who have a love for animals and nature. Such information may be important for suggesting possible occupations. On the physical side, green relates to the heart and lungs.

There are many colors, color combinations, and levels of colors you will see when viewing someone’s aura. The study of Auric interpretations requires that you familiarize yourself with those colors and what they mean. To expand the efficiency of your viewing, practice every day. Practice will increase your sensitivity and further the development of your Auric sight.

What is Mental Telepathy?

Imagine if you could send a message to anyone you wanted regardless of how far away they are and do it without a written letter or cell phone; no texting, no recorded messages, no penciled thought, no actual words whatever. If you could, you would be using mental telepathy—the process of transferring your thoughts from your mind to someone else’s. This form of communication has always been thought to be outside the mainstream of science. It has always been thought to be in the realm of science fiction or the paranormal. But, there is proof to the contrary.

In a recent experiment, a person in India said, “hola” and “ciao” to three other people in France. Today, the Web, smartphones and international calling might not make this seem like an impressive feat, but it was. The greetings were not spoken, typed or texted. The communication in question happened between the brains of a set of study subjects, marking the event as one of the first instances of brain-to-brain communication on record.

The team, were members who came from a Barcelona-based research institute, Starlab, the French firm Axilum Robotics, and the Harvard Medical School. These organizations published their findings in 2014, in the journal, PLOS One.

RELATED: The Difference Between a Thought and a Psychic Message

In Your Intuitive Development You’ll Use Three Forms of Telepathy

The three types of mental telepathy are: physical, mental and emotional—all of which are forms of ESP.

Telepathic communications can be received by way of feelings, emotions, thoughts, images and desires. Some people can even communicate telepathically when dreaming. Telepathy is communicating without any of your five senses.

Telepathy is available to everyone. It is not reserved solely for the gifted or talented. Everyone is born with a telepathic aptitude. The only thing that prevents many from being able to communicate in this way is skepticism and a lack of awareness.

One of the main requirements for practicing telepathy is to separate yourself from your physical body. This allows you to focus on thought and the messages you are trying to send.

Telepathy is a skill that takes time to perfect. However, your talents will improve with practice. Open mindedness and a relaxed mental state will enhance your chances. A closed mind is less likely to transmit or receive effectively.

How to Access Your Mental Telepathy Ability Easily!

To get started, get a partner. Prepare yourselves. Meditate to calm your mind and body. Next, sit across from, and facing, one another, then decide who will send and who will receive. The sender should decide on the details of the message—detail is important. Picture the receiver and the image of the message. When you are ready, transmit your message. Think of the message traveling and reaching its target. If it takes too long, stop, meditate and try again. After you have sent your message, have the receiver write down what he or she has perceived. Compare notes . . . and practice again.

In the future, telepathic communication may be the norm. And, while words may fail us, thoughts will not.

Choosing an avenue for focusing and directing your psychic leanings is neither complicated nor elaborate. It begins with acknowledging the fact that, no matter what you want to do, some form of skilled instruction and training must be involved. There is no occupation or profession, whether or not you have an exalted talent for it, which does not require learning. A talent, inclination, or a wish to become something is not an end in itself. You must take whatever talent you have and build upon that foundation a fortress of skill and knowledge.
