“When you are loved, you can do anything in creation. When you are loved, there’s no need at all to understand what’s happening, because everything happens within you.” Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

Life is moving faster and faster. Our society demands instant gratification and quick fixes. Along with this lifestyle, your well-being may suffer.

Please take a moment to review the questions below:

Do you wish you had more hours in your day to get more done?
Are you getting adequate rest?
Do you get exhausted easily?
Are you making time in your schedule to exercise?
Has your brain experienced information overloaded?
Do you get overwhelmed?
Is perfect health a distant memory?

By taking the following 3 steps, you may be energized and healthy all the time.

Step 1: Scan Your Aura

You are constantly bombarded by energy day and night. If you are sleep deprived, run down, eating sporadically, constantly doing, you will suffer. You can only live this way for so long. There are times to push, when you are on deadlines and you don’t have the luxury of sitting back and meditating. However, there are times when your body and soul are signaling you need to drop everything and take a time-out.

How do you know when to push and when to stop?

One very useful technique is to read your energy by scanning your auric field. The aura is an extension of your emotional, mental and spiritual energies that surround your physical body. It is the unseen part of you, however those who are psychic may be able to see your aura clearly.

Step 2: How to Scan Your Aura

You have to quiet your mind or you will have difficulty attuning to your energy field.

Close your eyes. This will shut off the stress of excess external stimulae.
Take several deep breaths into your body. This will help you to get grounded and centered.
Now bring your focus to the top of your head (the crown chakra) and sense your energy. Ask yourself the following questions:
If my aura had a color, what color would it be?
If my aura had a sound, what sound would it be?
Is my aura heavy or light in this part of my body?

Now move your awareness down through your body until you reach the soles of your feet (the root chakra) and ask yourself the same questions.

Step 3: Review Your Insights

It’s a good idea to have a journal and pen to hand to write down your answers. Trust your first response. Your intuition is always right, it’s your ego that gets in the way.

By writing down your answers, you may bring hidden energy patterns from your unconscious mind into your awareness. This means you may turn bad habits into good routines!
