Today’s morsel is from The Untethered Soul by Michael Singer. This is such a good book about energy and how to tap in and use your energy, more mindfully and intentionally. When we can redirect our thinking and mind away from ruminating about the past, away from worst case scenarios, and if we can redirect our energy into a more beneficial path, our lives can change dramatically.
In this chapter, infinite energy, he talks about how blocking off our heart space energy can really block off, are pathway to accessing this deep and powerful well in the side of us.
“ this energy is always available to you. At any moment, you can draw upon it. It just wells up and fills you from inside. When you are filled with this energy, you feel like you could take on the world. When it is flowing strongly you can actually feel it coursing through you in waves. It crashes up spontaneously from deep inside and restores, replenishes and recharges you.
The only reason you don’t feel this energy all of the time is because you block it. You block it by closing your heart, closing your mind, and by pulling yourself into a restrictive space inside. This closes you off from all that energy. When you close your heart or your mind, you hide the darkness within you there is no light. There is no energy. There is nothing flowing. The energy is still there, but it can’t get in. This is what it means to be blocked.”
Unblocking your energy, unblocking your heart space can be as simple as closing your eyes and focusing in word into that space. Offering first, yourself loving and kind energy, wishing yourself well and then extend that energy into somebody that you love very dearly.
Then start to expand that energy to somebody whom you feel neutral towards. And then send that energy to a difficult person. This practice is called METTA or loving-kindness.
