Energy – Page 15 – Daily Muse

This post was inspired by a recent group healing session I took part in lead by Michael Tamura to heal Japan after the earthquake & tsunami.

How you wish to show up in the world is your choice to make each day. You can show up full of negativity and drama, holding on to the energy of others, with competition and ego OR you can show up full of love and shining the light of your true spirit for all to see!

The decision you make each morning when you wake up affects your day and possibly even your week, month and in some cases the rest of your life. It is by your choice and intent to do the work necessary to heal yourself and thereby healing others in the process. If you hang on to that which does not serve your higher purpose or are always responding to the demands of others, you are not showing up as you! You do not need to be controlled by those energies. It is your choice to break free from a painful past and show up in the world not based on that past and being a victim of circumstance but to show up generating energy full of love, forgiveness and compassion!

Showing up in the world as YOU, free from the encumbrances of your past or the energy of others takes courage! It takes faith and trust that who you are doesn’t need excuses, apologies or perfection. You are a perfect spirit being however none of us is a perfect human being. You have the free will to choose how you wish to show up in the word with all your human-ness.

It takes courage to forge a new path and stand up for yourself. Your choice and free will to show up as YOU begins the process of healing your life. If you choose to hang on to pain and fear, surround yourself with negativity, and continue to live the growth and drama of others in the name of healing, that is precisely how you will show up in the world. Full of negativity, pain, fear and drama….none of which is really yours in the first place!

Each day when you awaken, decide how you will see the world. Is the glass half full or half empty? Is the sun shining and creating prisms of beautiful light or do you choose to see the shadow and storm clouds? Do you choose to show up in the world full of love, light, joy and living from the present? Do you choose to show the world the light that shines from within or live in fear? Are you choosing your adventure?

Breathe in the golden light of love! Allow it to transform your inner being then exhale that same golden light of love. Breathe in your essence as spirit and allow it to transform how you show up in the world. It is your choice to see and be exactly who you are and show up in the world that way. It takes courage, strength and fortitude to actually choose how you show up in the world. I know you have the courage…so how will you show up today? ~Shine Your Light Debbie

Nourishing your spirit is not unlike nourishing your body and is just as important. What you put in directly relates to how you feel, how much energy you have and it shows on the outside as much as how it affects your insides! You could call this blog ‘food for thought’. 🙂

I don’t think there’s anyone out there who would starve themselves on purpose. You get hungry, you eat! Your body needs food, water, vitamins and nutrients to survive. When you give your body everything it needs you physically feel better and have more energy to get through your day. If you don’t eat (or drink) , your body becomes stressed, it growls at you, you may feel light-headed, nauseous and you lack energy. The same goes for if you eat huge portions or foods that aren’t good for you . High fat, fried, sugary foods or eating an amount of food that would feed a small army leaves your body feeling much the same as when you are hungry although you may have to include feeling bloated and lethargic to that mix!

You know you need nourishment and healthy foods to survive and feel good. Have you ever considered how and what your spiritual energetic body needs for nourishment as well? Do you feed your spirit each day with nourishing thoughts and replenishing your energy or do you starve it and allow any old thing to come in and weigh you down? Do you wait until you are worried, sick, stuck or overwhelmed to feed your spirit & soul what it needs? This is very much the same as dieting and depriving yourself then bingeing! Trust me when I say it doesn’t work! The growth process goes much smoother and moves faster when you give yourself what you need every day.

What and how you eat affects spirit & soul as much as what and how you feed your spirit & soul affects your physical body. It is very much a symbiotic relationship! Nourishing spirit & soul is as easy as doing things you enjoy, keeping positive thoughts in your mind and of course a daily meditation practice.

There is ongoing scientific research on meditation and its effect on the body. The findings prove in measurable terms what many of us already know to be true. Did you know that studies done by Yale, Harvard, and Massachusetts General Hospital have shown that meditation increases gray matter in the brain and slows down the deterioration of the brain as a part of the natural aging process? Quieting the mind and feeding your spirit clears out ‘free radicals’ and acts as an antioxidant for the soul!

An interesting non-scientific study done and experienced first hand by yours truly, ME, is that when you feed your spirit what it needs, you no longer need to feed that child like voice in your head that constantly tells you it needs REAL “food” for comfort (or any other emotion you feed) to try to feel better. That little voice does not have a body so feeding it only leads to YOUR body getting larger and in a sense covers up what really needs nourishment….YOUR SPIRIT!

Connecting to the earth, the universe and your body creates a natural flow and clears out & nourishes the spiritual body all at the same time. There are no calories to keep track of and no portion is too large! Nourishing spirit and bringing in more of your spiritual essence changes everything from your mood to your body and increases how much energy you have to create! If you don’t believe it, check out the science that proves it! Better yet…in the words of a famous commercial in the States; Try it, you’ll like it… 🙂 ~Shine Your Light Debbie
