5 energizers

June 12th, 2007 · 8 Comments

if you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. thanks for visiting!

my blogging friend pamm from my secret spiritual dance tagged me with a meme about energy. it was started by cardin at optimistlab.

so what are my five favourite ways to increase energy? i think i’ll just list the first five that come to mind.

  1. dancing! dancing always makes me happy and feel alive. sometimes i just go to my room, close the door, crank up the music and off i go.
  2. going for a walk. i was raised with the belief that just about everything can be cured with a walk. i guess it’s all about getting fresh air into the system.
  3. beautiful imagery. my computer is full of images that speak to me, and i madefire-gaia-timelink-site-voila-fr-pourtoi_french.jpg sure to make my office visually appealing. even when i can’t see these beautiful images, i can still think of them.
  4. centering. with my bipolar tendencies, my energy sometimes gets all edgy and disorganized. centering brings me back into the body. maybe that’s why i was so intrigued by ten zen seconds, which talks a lot about centering. tai chi really helps with that, too.
  5. handwashing meditation. yeah, you read it right. some time ago, i bought a hand spa kit from wendy gunson, my mary kay person, and i just love going through the little ritual of using all the different lotions and potions. i usually do it really slowly, by candlelight, at the end of the day. it grounds me and i love how it reminds me of the reiki energy in my hands.

now let’s see who to tag. how about hueina. i really enjoyed how she talked about her mother in her mothers’ day post.

then let’s go on to david of glittering muse. in truth through music he talks about a new conductor for the orchestra in which he plays:

in the performance, his sweeping gestures carried the power and emotion of a great heart, a brilliant mind and mature technique. he never over conducted, and often moved so little that we had to listen and play with great detail. he became a vehicle of the music, never more. yet, ensemble and rhythm problems were corrected with the minutest gesture. cues were given with a smile.

here’s a new blog i just found, finding optimism, which i came across via stumbleupon. in the article sleep tight, james talks about, you guessed it: sleep; telling us, among other things, that babies need to learn how to sleep. i didn’t know that – did you?

after that, let’s go over to the urban monk. one of my favourite articles on his blog is 16 ways to awaken creativity and innovation - particularly “my enemy is my friend”:

if some kids are stealing the ice cream from your shop, ask another kid why they do so. what would scare them away? what would make them stop? (and i’m adding: what would turn them into customers?)

finally, i tag my friend carol and her interesting article, collage911, which comes to us in the form of slideshare, showing just those kinds of powerful images that give me energy.

all of you who got tagged, please don’t forget to go to the original post at optimistlab and follow the instructions for playing this meme game.

*** update on august 18 ***

oops, i got tagged again - this time by the fit shack! well, i won’t repeat the whole process but what i will do is tag a few more bloggers. these are their posts i’ve enjoyed recently:

why the phrase “i know” destroys connections rather than creating connection
if money was a person, who would money be?
7 encouraging must-read articles for the blogger just starting out
perspectives on psychotherapy
and if you have the stomach for a bit of hard-core, hard-hitting political satire, corporate solution to rape.

    My brother gave me a foot spa for Christmas that hasn’t been out of the box, yet. Maybe it’s about time to try that for some revitalization!

    Great post!

    hi isabella,

    i loved reading about the little things that provide you with increased positive energy. it reminded me of the importance of learning how to harness your energy and transform it from a negative passion into a positive one.
    thank you!

    yes, foot spas! they are wonderful. our feet are sooo important, they carry us everywhere, they connect us to the ground. when i think of chakras, i always do my best to remember the hand and foot chakras …

    ms. em, yes, you are so right. “negative passion” - what an interesting term. let me think about that …

    I’d like to continue the link love to a few very special bloggers that have helped me tremendously over the past few weeks. Not only that, this is a genuine recommendation for their blogs and their material. Here they are, in no particular order:

    Kenton of Zen Inspired Self Development - I’ve recommended him before and I’ll recommend him again! Thanks for all the books we write back and forth buddy! You cannot imagine how much you’ve helped me in my growth!

    Wade of The Middle Way - He’s been expanding my knowledge on the Buddhist teachings, talking me through a few blocks I’ve been having in my own growth - he’s got so much wisdom for a guy his age, and he’s a genuinely cool dude too!

    Slade of Shift your Spirits - He did a way cool and an in-depth review of my blog. And he’s been giving the benefit of his tremendous knowledge as well. A very inspiring man!

    And last but not least, KL Masina herself (who tagged me above)…she’s been like a mirror via email - pointing out my own unconsciousness to me. Thanks KL!

    OK, enough exclamation marks - on to the five ways I raise my vibes:

    1) I follow my Think and Grow Rich (aff) intention. I do this whenever I remember - I repeat a memorised statement to myself, while holding a feeling of gratitude that it’s on its way to me. If anyone’s interested in what it is, I want Urban Monk dot Net to be huge - the next Steve Pavlina.

    […] I was tagged a few weeks ago by Isabella Mori, and I’m finally getting around to writing the post. The originator of the meme is OptimistLab, where you can get the directions if you are tagged by me, or if you just want to join in. […]
