Using Meditation to Increase Energy Levels

Feeling drained of energy at the end of a working day is not something new. Even ancient man would have ended the day often exhausted, tracking long distances in hunt of food, and not always succeeding. Modern tiredness, though, can be of different origins, stirred by commuting, self inflicted stress, lack of fulfilment, financial and competitive pressures. Meditation can play a useful role in countering that stress related tiredness.

There is, however, another reason for the fatigue levels. Unseen energy chords can drain people of their energy, sapping them of energy through negative thoughts, and connections with others such as past past lovers, friends, enemies who have had a negative influence and continue to do so. Meditation, along with positive thinking and home relaxation, can play part in severing those negative and unwanted chords, helping you to restore energy levels to a more acceptable level.

It helps just to be aware of such chords, and using positive thinking you may consciously set about removing them, training yourself not to be sucked into these incessant negative thoughts. Combined with sessions of meditation, yu can steadily chip away at the negative chords, allowing your positive energy flows to take over.

Meditation also helps you practice relaxation, and the relaxation of your mind and aching body will assist you in restoring energy levels.

When the meditation session begins, it is important to be as comfortable as possible. Ensure you find a comfortable place to sit or lie down, loosen any tight items of clothing and be certain there are no external disturbances that could interfere with your relaxation.

Start the meditation with a deep breathing exercise. Be sure to breathe in very deeply, through your nose, and imagine that you are exhaling negative thoughts and feelings. Breathe out those things that should be discarded. As you breathe in, try to imagine that you are taking in new, fresh energy.

Next, work on feeling each part of the body, from your toes to your head. Imagine each part of the body working in harmony, and as it is meant to be. It is a good idea to use this exercise to increase your awareness of your body.

Now, try to visualize all the strands of energy flowing from you to other people and back to you. Picture yourself surrounded by a white light, and understand that the white light is protective of you. Visualize yourself cutting each of the energy strands you no longer need, imagining yourself cutting them with a pair of scissors or a sharp knife. Try to picture all of those unneeded energy cords lying around you after having been severed.

Be sure that as you sever each energy cord you do so with love and not with anger. Anger will only hold you back and make the cords harder to cut. Be sure you sever each cord with a feeling of peace and inner harmony.

This simple exercise can be repeated as often as possible. You should always remember that good diet and exercise also play a vital role in energy levels, as does encouraging harmony in your life from the moment you wake to the moment you fall asleep.
