Energy Maintenance

Have you ever had that feeling when you are around certain people in your life you feel a little drained? In the past I used to just blow it off but later as I learned more about the energy centers in and around the human body it all began to make a lot more sense. One thing is for certain it is not a subject that is covered in our schools but it is as common as the physiology of the human anatomy. You see being both spirit and physical beings we have both to contend with in our lives and when we feel drained of energy which is not always due to the food we are eating or lack of sleep.

There are those articles that we might have come across about psychic vampires and I have to admit there is something to that. But what I wish to cover here is that we all have tendencies to be one. It really depends on our energy systems and how we maintain the flow. As social beings we can't help coming in contact with one another. Our natural ability is to exchange energy frequently and freely without giving it a second thought. It is a lot like breathing but when there is a kink in the system it causes us to become weak or vulnerable to others that need more energy to sustain their fields. This happens when we have energy blockages or tears in our energy fields that can be caused by emotional, mental, and physical stresses in our lives.

If we take a look at the way we were created we find there is a gentle balance between our energy bodies, and physical body. By maintaining our energy centers we are better able to sustain ourselves and the energy that moves through our physical bodies that gives us vitality and keeps us healthy. We also have the ability to help others that are in need of energy without being drained of our own energy supply. If you really think about it energy is not limited and comes in an endless supply. It is only when we break down and can't process the energy through our energy centers that causes a problem. That is when we become vulnerable and don't have the capacity to keep ourselves going not to mention others who we come into contact that may need our help. In which case it is an excellent reminder in alerting us to the fact that we may need help ourselves when others are draining us and we are draining others.

What is interesting is that so many of us are completely unaware that we draining the energy of others since there is no intention of doing such acts on purpose. What we do find is that so often we are naturally attracted to those individuals in our lives that help us feel good when we are in their presence. This is a very normal process but the key is to notice if we are draining those that we enjoy being around. The good news is that this is a dilemma that can be fixed if we focus on the problem and not blame others or brush it off. We are designed to naturally balance the energy of both the physical and spiritual worlds. We have it in us to repair our energy fields just like we have the ability to heal from a wound.

In the physical world we live in we have learned how to exercise and keep our physical bodies in shape with a proper diet but most of us have forgotten the other half of ourselves which is just as important. What we are now learning is that we need to treat the whole person and not just one part of the person. As we continue to become more aware of ourselves we are discovering that it is important to pay closer attention to the maintenance of our own energy centers and our energy fields. One thing is for certain is that you don't have to go to a energy practitioner to get back in balance, you have the capability to learn how to do this yourself but if you feel the need for help then you can find an energy practitioner that can help get you started. Examples of this would be Acupuncture, Reiki, Meditation, Massage therapist, Tuning forks, Singing bowls, Yoga, Tai-Chi, Qigong, Toning, etc... Just keep in mind that you are perfectly able to do your own self maintenance if you find a technique that works best for you.
