Want to Feel Good? Fight for Your Energy Flow
If we want to feel good we have to fight for our energy flow. It’s that simple. What does that mean?
First, I am equating energy flow with what in India they call Shakti and in China they call Chi. When you feel great, this energy flows freely. When you feel lousy, it’s blocked.
As Mickey Singer says in his The Untethered Soul Lecture Series, our energy flows freely when our hearts are open and is blocked when our hearts are closed. The key here is that we determine when our hearts open and close.
The situations where we open and close come in sizes tall, grande and venti (an homage to Starbucks, where my persistent kids have forced my wife and me to spend a small fortune recently on chocolate croissants, cake pops and other nutritious items).
Here’s a tall example. You’re driving down the highway, the radio blasting your favorite song, your energy flowing fine…when somebody suddenly cuts into your lane. Your lava starts flowing immediately. You lean on your horn, lower your window and shout epithets at the 80 year old woman who just committed this heinous crime against humanity.
YOU decided to shut down
Most important, you’ve closed your heart and shut down your energy flow resulting in you feeling angry and upset. Whose fault is this…
