Wondering how you can work through feeling stuck, uninspired and/or heavy energy? Five tips for when you’re trying to get back into a daily movement practice or just want to feel better overall.

movement creates movement

There’s so much power in Inertia. When we’re too sedentary, energy gets stuck. Stretch, dance or walk to get things flowing again. The hardest part is getting started but once you get the ball rolling, you won’t want to stop.

Food choices

Food is energy and it directly impacts how we feel. Really think about what you ate over the last few days. If it’s been low-vibration foods (sugar, processed foods and unhealthy fats), bring in whole, high-vibration foods such as leafy greens, green juice, and protein. Dive into our 7-Day Meal Plan for a reset or start your week off with my green juice.

Change a daily habit

Sometimes the fear of making a big change can be paralyzing and keeps you from making any change at all. Start with a small daily habit like drinking water upon rising to make the energy move.

Clean house

Accumulating things that you don’t need keeps the energy around you stuck. Clean out your closet and resell or donate things that no longer serve you.

Let go of fear

Fear makes you stay in your current mindset, circumstances, and keeps your energy revolving around the same thing.

TRANSMUTING ENERGY

Harper’s Bazaar, February 1970

Transmuting energy is simply taking the energy that you have and changing it into something that can be useful. When unfavorable instances happen in our lives it’s so easy to dwell, ruminate, and talk to all your friends about it, right? The things that trigger our emotions the most can either become a weapon to defeat us or tools you can we use to learn and build ourselves.

Emotions are energy in motion. To emote means to express, if we don’t express, we tend to repress. Why waste that energy in repressing when we can emote and change it into something we want?

ENERGETICS WITHIN BODYWORK

Energetics within bodywork is my gift and has become such an integral part of my work. Talking to bodies and cars…

The back right tire blew out again so he asked me to come listen to the body. I asked him if he'd been storing some resentment, anger or frustration on the male (right) side - Something he felt he should act on but didn't, or something to which he acted in an inappropriately aggressive manner. As the physical body is a clear representation of spiritual conditions, so is your car.

There is a connection between what goes on with us and our cars, just as there is a connection between the manifestation of physical illness and our state of spiritual balance.

I told him that when he drives this car he should try to be in balance mentally and emotionally and open to incoming energies and that his vibration gets transmitted, as if it’s broadcast. If he’s driving in an angry or agitated state, his energy gets transferred – actually conducted – to the automobile itself.

For example, my friend Joe’s car almost refuses to run whenever he tries to leave in a rushed, negative or conflicted state. It’s become almost comical, it’s happened so many times. When he’s in balance, the car runs perfectly. Think about how this concept relates to our human body.
