This Is All There Is

by Jo Peirson

Energy is all there is. There is nothing else. everyone and everything is created from energy. in fact, you’re created from the same Universal energy as the birds, trees, oceans and mountains. When you feel the wind blowing through your hair and gently kissing your skin, this too is energy.

We’re all connected and at one with the Universe. We’re not separate. When you hurt another you inadvertently hurt yourself. conversely, when you ‘lift’ another up you also ‘lift’ yourself.

Energy Stores

When we’re young, we’re easily able to restore our energy. However, as we grow older it’s not as easy for us to replenish these levels. resulting in a lack of energy, meaning we lose our ability to experience life fully and live to our fullest potential. it can even result in ill health or dis-ease.

So how can you tell when your energy is depleted?

You may feel more tired than usual, lethargic, slightly run down or mildly dizzy (please ensure that you consult your doctor if these symptoms persist).

What can you do to top up your energy wells?

Getting out in nature for a walk, drinking more water, ensuring you’re getting enough rest, especially sleep – you may need to tweak your bedtime routine to ensure you’re fully relaxing before settling down to sleep. Things like no tech at least an hour before bed, having a soothing drink like chamomile tea, taking a warm bath or shower, then maybe reading, will all let your body and mind know you’re winding down and that you’ll soon be going to sleep.

You could also use one or more of the following practises: 1. reiki 2. Yoga 3. Tai chi 4. Qigong (chi Kung) all these practises are aimed at gently keeping your energy levels high and bringing you back into balance.

Qigong, Tai chi and Yoga use a series of movements (some slow, some more dynamic) along with the breath.*

*if unsure if a specific exercise is suitable for you, always consult a medical professional.

Reiki works slightly differently, with the reiki Practitioner drawing down the Universal energy and using the palms of their hands to channel it to the recipient. The recipient will take this Universal energy and use it as they need it, like healing from the inside out. This can be done in person or remotely, the results are the same.

Positive Affirmation

Here’s an affirmation for you to use anytime you feel disconnected. Just repeat it silently or out loud as many times as you feel you need. You could even write it down and stick it around your home as a reminder that you are a wonderful child of the Universe:

“I am at one with the Universe”.

Living in a balanced state gives us the opportunity to enjoy life and appreciate how we’re connected to everything around us.
