Starting the week.

I am standing at the beginning of a new week. The time has come to wrestle with my own thoughts and take on the challenges that will be placed before me like a boquet of flowers.  I do not take on those challenges impulsively but need to do so consciously, following a simple procedure of drawing up a list organising that list in what needs to be done today. For now writing this blog is a priority on that list. I need to tell the story about my life that might never be read nor told and yet the story is important. The story I tell myself about my life will eventually frame the rest of my life….even a future set of lives. In this story I can wither be the victim of the hero…it depends on how the story is told.

Off course this story is not just fictional and requires the exploration of truth within my life. But truth has many perspective and although we cannot change truth we can choose the lense through which we look when we put truth under the micrscope of our consciousness.  By facing truth in all its facets I get deeper underneath the veil of self-knowledge.  I pick up the inconsistencies and incoherencies and allow the full picture of the puzzle emerge slowly to form a picture of the “I am” that is me. 

Besides making my priorities clear, I walk into my office, I look at the energy and I use my first moments to change or improve the energy flow within my office. It might be a simple moving of an object or a decluttering of an area. This brings me into contact with my environment and the conscious design behind the space where I will spend in the next eight hours. So many people goes to work with a negative attitude, unaware of the potential your desk space of office space might have. I change the energy where I move…it is a silent service we can offer the world while we are alking about. I see myself as an energy sculptor and I am continually in a process of sculpting the energy patterns around me. Within a confined space like my office I use my Feng Shui knowledge to create a consistency in flow between wind and water.

But outside it might be through a smile, my body positioning or by simply removing clutter elsewhere. I find that my perspective change about the world and how I interact with it when I realise that at every moment in time I am playing an influential role. I am touching people through my attitude but also through my realisation of the importance of space and how space and placement is influencing behaviours. These are subtle awarenesses one needs to build up over time. I cannot claim to be an empath but I can choose to be aware of the people around me and how I relate with them. I can choose to be a constructive rather than a destructive force in the community around me. A compliment a slight shift in presence can make a huge difference in how life is being viewed. We are energetically connected and part of being illuminated is to see those connections and to recognise them. 

I have access to an abundance of energy if I simply takes the opportunity to see those hidden patterns. We can read about mindfulness and Feng Shui but until we put into practice energy shifts, to shift the situation, it becomes meaningless. However I have realised that I cannot just shift energy to suit my own selfish purpose but I must look for energy that is constructive, complementary and ever edifying. Those are the shifts that we need to work at with constant focus and effort. for then it does not just influence but it also becomes a source for personal growth.

Energy management

A life worth living is a life worth reflecting on. Having reflected on my past year, I realized that I have done far less in my exploration of poetry and art in the last year than what I aimed to do. I hope that I can be able to do everything I set for myself to do in this coming year. I hope sincerely that I will have the energy to act on all the different level of being. I have set objectives on a physical, mental, psychic and spiritual level. In accord with my life philosophy I am not pushing for a singular focused objective but rather to live a well-rounded life that consider all spheres of life and where personal life and engagement with others are balanced. Time and energy are the two constraints that must be optimally managed. I have not always managed to keep this balance. There is always some level of sacrifice that needs to be made. Often when one’s energy is low the strongest intent can be wasted. The starting point is healthy living for it is within the body that we gain the benefit of the energy we need to progress. Basic things like diet, drinking water and proper sleep is always key to the success of holistic living. We deny these only to our detriment and no lifestyle that does not consider these can be sustainable.  But energy is more than just the physical, a large portion of our energy comes from our thinking. It is easy to allow energy to waste away through bad thinking habits that remain caught up in negative cycles or that lacks enthusiasm. I focused on the virtue of enthusiasm last week and the one thing I realised  again that when we are interested in what we do, when we are enthused we have more energy. So even if our body is fit and well looked after we loose energy through our thinking processes. A core focus for me this year will be to conserve energy through right thinking rather than entertain thought processes that leak energy.  We must understand the body and its functioning as the foundation or fountain of our energy and internal resources … our other faculties does not generate energy but can either be a leak or the result of the application of energy. Following alchemical principles we can not even stop at our mental processes. We can also loose energy through our psychic body, especially if we allow our emotional self free reign unchecked by reason and completeness of joy. Our energy management is as important, if not more important, than time management. So often people focus on goals and objectives but fail in managing there energy and I am willing to waiver a stiff bet that the reason people fail is not a lack of intent but rather a lack of energy.  For many that do not live in accord to the basic requirements for a healthy body do not generate the right energy while others that do so allow energy to be wasted through leakage. The objective of energy management will be twofold in purpose. Firstly to generate energy and secondary to ensure the proper conditions to optimally use the energy created and continually refine our energy resources to finer substance. The higher we can lift the energy by purifying it the more potent that energy becomes. Energy on a physical level are compressed to a higher level and more pure energy on a mental plane and the even concentrated further on the psychic plane. Thus properly managed energy increases the work that can be done with that energy. The same energy on the physical level can not accomplish what can be achieved when it is concentrated on a mental level.  In the past years I have learned much about energy generation and conservation but this year my aim and focus will be on the refinement of my energy for higher order work.
