Spiritual Energy is a force that can make your dreams come true. It’s also what keeps you going when life gets tough.
All things carry some type of energy. Objects like crystals, artifacts and personal items gifted with love or used in ritual can hold an imprint that gives them their own unique energy.
1. Focus on the present
Throughout the universe, there is an immense amount of energy constantly being created and consumed in a never-ending cycle. This energy is the source of your life force and can be tapped into to feel recharged!
Just like gravity, spiritual energy affects everything it touches. It also influences your personal experiences and relationships. Some examples of energy include karmic energy, kundalini energy and healing energy.
Achieving a higher level of spiritual energy requires an active effort and dedication. To start, practice being present in your daily activities and interactions. Yang suggests identifying small ways to incorporate mindfulness into your daily routine, like setting a timer for two minutes and studying the details of a plant you pass by at work. This will help you learn how to be more in-the-moment, and can build stronger connections with your loved ones.
2. Be kind to yourself
Just like radiowaves, microwaves and sound waves move through physical space, so too does spiritual energy. It can move faster and farther than you think, but it can also feel suffocating when it gets blocked.
When you love yourself, the universe can freely flow spiritual energy through you. Whether you’re going on self-dates or getting to know yourself as a friend, take the time to connect with your innermost essence.
In a meditative state, gently scan your body from head to toe and notice what feels tense or uncomfortable. Then, shift your focus to the underlying mood. Keep a journal to record your thoughts as they arise, and observe how they impact your spiritual energy. You may not always understand what’s happening, but that’s okay.
3. Practice meditation
If you want to increase your spiritual energy levels, meditation is a great place to start. It has roots in many ancient philosophies and world religions, and modern scientific techniques like EEG and fMRI show that it actually changes your brain for the better.
Sit in a comfortable position (you can sit upright, cross-legged, or on the ground), close your eyes and focus on your breath. Counting “one” as your breath comes in and then “two” as it goes out is a good way to get started. Over time, try focusing on different things. For example, one day you could focus on noticing the light or sounds around you.
Don’t be discouraged if your mind wanders during a meditation session, that’s normal. Just return your attention to the breath if it wanders away.
4. Help others
Helping others is one of the easiest ways to increase your spiritual energy. It not only makes you feel good, but it helps clear out any blockages that may be stuck in your energy field like emotional baggage or limiting beliefs.
Spiritual Energy is the unseen life force that animates living beings and permeates the cosmos. It’s also referred to as prana, ki or divine light and is seen in many different traditions as a foundation for healing and spiritual enlightenment.
When you think about it, this concept is very similar to gravity. It’s not something we need to see to believe, but it’s a powerful force that we are all familiar with and use every day. Spiritual Energy is the same way. We don’t always have to experience it, but it is a force that can change your life.
5. Practice gratitude
To harness spiritual energy, you can start by practicing gratitude. This simple, research-backed strategy helps you feel happier and more optimistic, and it can also help you improve your health and wellbeing.
For example, one study found that people who regularly write down a list of things they’re grateful for are less depressed and more likely to report feeling healthy than those who don’t. Practicing gratitude can also calm the nervous system by stimulating parasympathetic activity, which slows heart rate and promotes digestion and restful sleep.
To practice gratitude, focus on the little things in your day — saying “thank you” to a friend or holding the door for someone. You can also try meditating on gratitude, or visualizing the people or things you’re thankful for.
