Spiritual Energy is an essential life force that permeates every level of reality. When you feel drained of energy, it’s often a sign that you are lacking this sacred force.
Residual Energy vs Spirit
A clear way to distinguish between residual energy and a spirit is that spirits will often be more forceful in making themselves known, they will usually have an agenda and will communicate with you.
1. Meditation
Just like radio waves, microwaves, and sound waves, spiritual energy can be transmitted across space. However, unlike these other forms of vibration that travel through physical matter, spiritual energy vibrates much slower.
You can increase your spiritual energy by practicing meditation. This helps to clear the mental storm in your mind and allows you to connect with the universe.
There are many different types of meditation. Some of the most effective include focusing on your breath and chanting mantras. Several studies have shown that people who meditate regularly experience changes in their brain structure and function.
Increasing your spiritual energy will allow you to tap into a more fulfilling life. It will help you manifest your divine purpose and complete your dharma. The key is to channel that energy through an accepting conduit, which means loving yourself.
2. Exercise
Spiritual energy is the life force in your mind, emotions and body. It manifests as happiness, confidence and focus and can be used to help you achieve your goals. It also contributes to your productivity and determination. The term “energy” is usually used in physics as a synonym for vigor but the two concepts are very different. Spirituality transcends science but never violates it. Science looks at all the objects in our world; spirituality looks at the subjects of these objects.
3. Spend Time in Nature
Whether you call it forest bathing, ecotherapy, green time or the wilderness cure, research shows that spending more time outdoors can relieve stress and boost happiness. In fact, a 2019 study found that people who lived closer to nature reported greater life satisfaction and well-being than those who did not.
Even walking in a park or looking at photos of nature can have positive effects on your mood, but for maximum benefits, try to get out into nature regularly. Make it a habit to spend two hours a week in natural environments, such as your local park or garden.
Alternatively, you can go stargazing on a clear night and marvel at the beauty of the stars. The key is to find a way of connecting with nature that suits your lifestyle and interests.
4. Connect with Others
In addition to boosting our mental, emotional, and physical health, the energy of kindness can also help us connect with spirit. This is especially true when it comes to connecting with your guides or inner wisdom.
One way to do this is by connecting with your spirit family, aka the various aspects of your psyche that make up who you are (your Inner Wise One, Protector, Artist, etc). You can also call on your Akashic records for guidance and clarity.
Sit in a calm, quiet place and focus on making contact with your Divine Self. Ask to connect with It, and to open to all the positive energy, love, healing, self-discovery, and gifts of consciousness It is always offering. It may take time for you to feel a response, but know that your intention and receptivity to it is enough.
5. Practice Kindness
Acts of kindness, whether you’re the giver or receiver, can trigger the release of oxytocin, which promotes feelings of calm and connection. They can also increase serotonin and dopamine, neurotransmitters that contribute to greater happiness and well-being.
UC Davis staff can participate in the month-long 2024 Kindness Counts Challenge on Feb 5 with weekly guidance for loving-kindness meditations and theme-based acts of kindness. It’s important to note that you don’t have to do or receive an act of kindness in order to reap the health benefits, studies show that just witnessing an act of kindness can encourage you to pay it forward.
For example, a simple act of kindness like smiling at strangers or letting someone with only a few items check out ahead of you can make others feel seen and valued, Harding says.
