As we approach the New Year, instead of making a new year resolution, why not make a new year re-soul-ution. Each year it is the same for me: jump more deeply into my river of energy. In truth, you are energy. You are the culmination of billions of cells and photons. You are cosmic. You are that miraculous. You are pure vibration. A river of energy flows through the center of you. Imagine an invisible thread of light that aligns along the core of you, lining up with your spine. Let’s call that your center. As pure energy flows, it pours along that line from above. It is such a high vibration, that your body is only able to use or “capacitate” what it has circuits built for based on your learning and experiences. The good news is you grow energetically stronger or “build circuits” every time you learn.
Energy flows through the top of your head, down through the center of your brain, your throat, your chest, to your solar plexus, your gut, down through your legs and feet and into the very soil beneath you. All along the way, the energy is being transmuted through the stories you tell, your beliefs, your ideas, your thoughts all resonating your cells and field in a certain way depending on your vibrational mix or intention.
Thanks to the earth, the high frequency energy is further transmuted to resonate in a way that is easier to utilize inside your body. The energy rises back up from the earth. Up it goes through your heels, knees, pelvis, and abdomen, up to your heart again, on through your throat and brain, then up and out as the images, words and actions you choose. In time, with enough learning, you realize the river is not happening to you. It is happening for you. Not only is it happening for you, it is you.
Eventually, this energy consumes everything, for it is everything. As with the laws of thermodynamics, energy is neither created or destroyed, it only changes form. And, as you allow it, this eternal energy directs your perfectly created (intended) life way better than the limited constraints of the mind telling you what you are and are not.
Let your imagination help you experience this energy right now.
Start with your breath. Breathe into your belly like when you were a little kid, and let your belly fully expand with the inhale and drop easily with the exhale. Let yourself stand in your power and keep your spine nice and long. (you might look a little like wonder woman or super man or a famous dancer) Envision that there is more space between each vertebrae then ever before and lean back into your spine. Now imagine dropping a pebble from the mind into the pond of the heart. Allow that smooth pebble to drop past your heart into the pond of your solar plexus, belly and root. Let it drop all the way down through you into the pond of the earth. Each pond the pebble falls into is made of light. It is not still water, it is a moving pond of light. Always in all ways.
This energy flowing through you, is you. Let your inner eye see that the energy now flows back up from the earth, back up again along the same pathway. And the energy then circulates back down. Up and down the river flows with very little effort on your part, it is always there even if you ignore it. Yet, when you choose to step consciously into your river and BE the river you are, your whole world changes. Another simple way to experience the energy directly is to rub your palms together vigorously and then pull them a hands width apart, and roll your feet along the floor back and forth. Can you feel that tingle and buzz of energy between your hands and along the feet? That is you.
Effortless Spirals
Did you know that your spinal fluid spirals up and down your spine every 3 seconds without any effort on your part? That and so many other miraculous functions of the body are just a small glimpse of the continuous flow and magnificence that you are. This fluid miracle is happening at a cellular (body) and energetic level (light). Your energy flows the whole length of you and around your body and field. The shape of your energy field is a donut-shaped toroid (see the toroidal field at 3:07 min in this HeartMath video).
Our toroidal field acts in and around our body the same as the planetary weather and the spin of the galaxy. Your magnificent mind can barely wrap itself around the majesty of our full participation with the torque and spin of the universe at every scale!
Notice the next time you judge yourself or someone else, what happens with your energy. If you practice, you will learn that your field contracts and diminishes with every “no way,” “nope,” “can’t,” or “won’t” or “shoulda coulda woulda” that you choose from your fear and separation. When you say yes to you (which might look like a no to something else) your field brightens and flows.
Energy and Alchemy
Every time you experience something you want to feel more of, alchemize the glorious sensation through the flowing stream of energy you are. When you want to dissolve something you are experiencing—perhaps that you are not enjoying or have vibrated away from —run it through the spiraling river inside you. It will be transmuted into energy that you can use. Again, as the laws of thermodynamics state, energy only changes form. Wash, rinse, repeat. You are an energy washing machine! You are a transmuting engine thanks to your body! You are an alchemist.
Allowing your full energy empowers you to become way more than your protective or productive personality can imagine. When we accept what is and let go of our daily judgements, this is when we live juicier and watch out…here comes the flow of new creations.
Take your learning, your challenges, your sorrows, your joys, your fears, your judgements, your hearts desires to your river. Drop all of it in the flow of life. Your luminous river washes, dissolves and purifies everything into Truth. Into Love. And at the center of this marvelous river is your heart, where all your expanded wisdom collects and communicates from your soul. So listen to your heart and soul as you breathe through the experiences flowing through you. In time, with enough willingness and humility, as well as breathing and engaging the core, you build more circuits in your body to bring in more luminous wisdom (you).
This year and every year hereafter, take all of the difficulty, inconvenience, trauma, misunderstandings, and illusions to your river. Alchemize your story and invite more of the cosmic truth in. And that is the magic you actually are! That’s the kind of re-soul-ution we can get behind.
