Help! I Need Energy

© T. Darlene Cheek

"I am tired all the time." What makes us feel that way? Whether it is a disease or physical disability, depression or anxieties, metabolism, lack of sleep, imbalance, or just that you're run plain ragged, there are many different things that you can do to increase your energy without resorting to drugs. Also, with that increase in energy, you will begin to feel better about yourself... depression with ease up... you will find it easier to cope with life's every day problems... your physical conditions will improve... and you will be able to accomplish more.

There are different ways that energy works within the body. We are all aware that the body has a surrounding energy field called the Aura. The aura vibrates at a particular frequency and changes colors based on the frequency it generates. It is actually possible to take a picture of the aura, and many people have learned to see the aura with the naked eye.

Japanese medicine also studies the chakras or energy centers within the body. They are:

The Root Chakra - also known as the survival center or kundalini. The root chakra controls our fight or flight mechanism and is located at the base of the spin. The associating color is red.

The Spleen Chakra - is located two fingers below the belly button... it is the center of our emotions as well as our sexual chakra and center of creativity. The associating color is orange.

The Solar Plexus Chakra - is located two fingers above the belly button... it is the center where our mental control takes over our bodily desires. We also receive our "gut instinct" and/or psychic abilities from this center. The associating color is yellow.

The Heart Chakra - is located where the physical heart is... it is where our emotions are recorded and from where our loves flows to and from mankind. The associating color is green.

The Throat Chakra - is located in the throat... it is our center of communication, inner hearing and clairaudience. The associating color is blue.

The Third Eye Chakra - is located in the center of the forehead just above the eyebrows... it is the center of our inner sight, clairvoyance and the link to our higher consciousness and the universal consciousness. The associating color is indigo.

The Crown Chakra - is located in the fontanel spot on the head... it is our connection to the Universal Spirit or God. The associating color is white violet.
