Everything around us is energy. Our universe, the planet we are living on, everything that lives on our planet, the chair we are sitting on, the clothes we are wearing, the glass we are drinking from, the substance that’s in the glass, the car we are driving, the people we meet; in short, everything is energy.

Our own energy is the energy that specifically belongs to us as an individual. Continuously we tend to give that away to others, to other things, to interests, to meetings with others, to places, to books, to films, etc. Very often we tend to give our energy away to others when we express certain words or phrases. “I love you” is a good example hereof. Besides we ourselves often tend to pick up energies from others.

In contrast to nature we humans constantly tinker in each other’s energy field and in this way we try to influence or manipulate others. Have you ever seen a rosy tree or a treelike rose? However we do see many, many people, who live under the strong influence of a certain person or certain people around them. They don’t live their own life, but they live the life of how someone else wants them to live.

Therefore it is important that we do an energy exchange on a regular basis, meaning that after intense contact with another person or after putting energy into something or someone, we ask our own energy back and we give back the ones we picked up.

The best method to do this is by means of a short meditation, during which we visualize the energy exchange. This is also beneficial for the development of the right hemisphere of the brain, which at such moments balances with the left hemisphere of the brain.

Enjoy these self motivation tips that will help you to become an expert in exchanging energy. With self motivation exercise you create self motivation skills and ultimately it will help you to see from the inside out what happens in your energy field.

Meditation:

Close your eyes and start to breath in through your nose and exhale through your mouth. (if you learn to do this on a regular basis it will positively stimulate your ability to let go)

1. From your 1st chakra get in touch with your grounding-cord and feel how it goes all the way down to the centre of the Earth. Say to yourself 3 times: “I let go of everything I don’t need anymore” and feel how everything you are letting go is moving down your grounding-cord into the centre of the Earth.

2. Ask your energy field or aura to come closer (at approx. 50 cm from your body) and visualize this in front of you, in the back of you, at your sides, above you and beneath you.

3. Give the energy in your aura any colour you wish and gather all the other colours that are in it in a ball in front of your heart, and say twice: “All energy that is not mine, gather in a ball in front of my heart”. Gather all that energy in 4 breaths and remember to look well behind you and beneath you, too.

4. Lovingly and respectfully push the ball outside your aura with your left hand and say: “I lovingly send you back to wherever you come from”. (This energy knows exactly where it comes from. If a certain colour should not disappear, it is you that’s holding on to it.)

5. Next, with all the strength you have inside of you, ask your own energy back by repeating twice: “All energy that I left elsewhere, come back to me now”. Calmly breath it into your pelvis in 4 breaths and feel how it fills you up again.

6. Humbly ask Mother Earth to send you crystal energy up your grounding-cord and let it go passed your 1st chakra, up your spine, passed your other chakra’s and let it flow out your 7th (crown)chakra like a fountain, so that it refreshes your whole aura. (Again feel how the fountain of crystal energy flows through your aura in front of you, at both sides of you and behind you)

7. Always finish such meditation, just before you open your eyes, with 3 short and loud exhalations (pfff, pfff, pfff). This helps you to be totally “aware“ afterwards.
