We traveled out east for the holidays this year, and although it’s been wonderful being around family, I still needed to work. This wasn’t a big deal. I have a decent home office to work out of while I’m with the in-laws, but it isn’t my home office. The amount of natural light that I get is a fraction of what I am used to. I am not surrounded by all of the familiar comforts of home along with the energy that I cultivate in that space. By the end of my day on the computer, I realized I was absolutely drained. Uh-oh. This is not my default state, and I knew I needed to boost my energy. Combine that with flu going around the house and the other pressures that the holidays bring, and it was time to get something going quickly.
I’m going to show you a technique that I utilize to rapidly boost my luminous energy field from basically scratch. I can really rip when I’m out in the forest or in a church, but I am not a monk that lives in a monastery. I need to operate in less than ideal conditions and get my energy up quickly. Why does your luminous energy field (LEF) matter? The short answer is spiritual vitality. If you have a healthy LEF, you are much less susceptible to sickness. Your energy will be much better and healthier than drinking a strong cup of coffee, and you will have a much more balanced mental state. Plus, you don’t need to meditate on top of a mountain for hours. This takes seconds, and you can do it as much as you need.
I like to sit on the floor, cross-legged, when I do this exercise. I’ve done it standing, sitting in chairs, and even versions of this while driving (don’t worry, I don’t take my hands off the wheel). The first step is to take your hands and create a triangle with your arms extended. Your thumbs and pointer fingers should be touching. You do not need to strain your arms. The next step is really important. Drop into a soft gaze into the triangle. Do not focus on anything in particular. Just let the triangle hold your gaze.
Now inhale in through your mouth like you’re sipping with a straw as you collapse the triangle into a prayer pose and bring to your chest in a scooping motion. You’re pulling the energy in through that triangle and scooping up as much as you can. Exhale and bring your hands and the energy up through the top of your head. Repeat as necessary.
When you are first doing this, you will want to pay close attention to the energy you feel when you bring it into your body and LEF. It may be subtle at first, but once you understand which muscles you need to work to bring in the energy, you will quickly become more efficient. Even one of these motions, which literally takes 5 seconds, feels like getting a shot of spiritual steroids. You can reclaim a massive amount of vitality in a very short period of time. Take 30 seconds to pump up that LEF, and you are absolutely vibrating with energy. This exercise is great because you could be coming from just complete dog crap, head all out of whack, energy of a place screwed up, terrible environment, etc. and improve your situation considerably in under a minute.
Your LEF affects and interacts with the people and environment around you as well. Do it, enjoy the benefits, and observe how your day changes!
