feeling down? Charge it!

Feeling drained? Stuck in a funk?

Maybe you’re feeling it right at this moment. Maybe you’ve been feeling it for a while. Or, maybe this is not you at all right now but you’ve been there. But we’ve ALL been there, feeling down in the dumps, in a state of fear, or dragged down by that dreaded sense of unworthiness.

Your energy feels zapped, as if someone turned out your light. You feel dim, dull, not shiny, and filled with self-doubt.

The good news is, you have the power to change this.

There are many things you can do when you are in this space. Spending time in nature has been proven to reduce stress and improve mood. Listening to uplifting music can trigger positive emotions. Physical activity releases endorphins, acting as natural mood boosters.

​These are great options and yet the #1 key I’ve found  to be the most transformative, in the shortest amount of time, and is easily accessible is: to charge it! ​

I’m not talking about shopping with credit cards. I’m talking about charging up your energy– the power source for your light! 

Think: “When my light feels low, charge it up!”  💡💡💡​
 
So how do you do that?

By activating the power of your energy field.  Let me explain. 

Let's start with a visual 
You know when you’re with someone who is a curmudgeon, a debbie-downer, an angry grump? They darken the space they enter, like they just brought in a dense, gray cloud into the room— and it feels heavy. On the other end of the spectrum, someone who is alive, dynamic and energized can change the mood of the room, brightening and uplifting everyone they encounter. Expanding the light!

This is your "energy field" (also known as your aura) at work.

Imagine it as a field of energy that surrounds you. This energy is influenced by your thoughts and emotions. When you're feeling down, this energy gets depleted. The dimming or brightening of your energy field happens unconsciously in the course of your day. 

Fortunately, you can learn to consciously expand your energy field, which can have a powerful impact on your mood and well-being.

In the practice of kundalini yoga, there are breathing exercises, postures, movements, and meditations that specifically work on expanding your energy field. Some practices are long, and some are super short. I want to introduce you to a super short one that takes just 1 minute of your time.  

The Aura Charger (aka the ego eradicator)
This is a simple breath meditation to charge your aura and cast away the heaviness so you can feel lighter, brighter and clearer. Practice this for 1 minute, 3 minutes, or more as needed— and charge yourself up to shine bright. Click the image below for this life-changing practice.

And this is how you turn on your aura light switch. This one key alone will turn you around when you are down. It will put you in a better mood to change the trajectory on how you feel, how you perceive life, and how you choose to support your best Self. Like I said, life changing. 

With gratitude+grace,
Anna
