Energy Workout
By c0verst0y
This exercise is a good way for you to get used to controlling and moving your energy throughout your body.
There is a large mass of energy within you held at the core of your being. Think of this core as a storage area for your energy. Some people think this energy is in your stomach, others in your heart. I personally visualize it somewhere between the two, just at the base of the breast bone. The location of this energy mass isn’t what’s important, though. What’s important is the fact that you are aware that it is within you and the only thing generating it is YOU.
This first part is going to be nothing but feeling the energy. Visualize the mass of energy within you. Visualize the energy as lightning or fire or whatever you wish it to be. I always visualize it as nothing more than light within my body, so I’ll be referring to it as light from this point on. Watch it pulsate and shift. Just sit and visualize the energy. Imagine the tingle of it beneath your flesh. Get a sense of how it feels and where inside of you it is.
Now, move the energy. Visualize it leaving the core and traveling throughout your body. Move it into your arms and down to your fingers and hold it there. Let it flow into your legs, feet and toes. See the energy moving all over your body. Once it has been thinly spread throughout your body, begin to make it pulsate, going from the top of your head, the tips of your fingers and toes, all the way back to your central point of energy. Slowly visualize it pulsing, spreading from the core of the energy throughout your entire body, and then slowly retracting to the core.
After you are used to pulsing your energy through your body in thin waves, attempt to concentrate a large amount of energy and simply move it around. Visualize energy leaving the core of your body and forming a small ball of light a few inches away from the rest of the energy. Move this energy around your body, sending it trailing along your body, down you leg. Stop the ball at your feet and bring it back up. Move it across your waist and send it down your other leg. Bring it up through your ribs and visualize it traveling along your arm, stopping at your hand. Draw it back up, moving it across your chest, and down the opposite arm and into that hand. Pull the energy back up your arm and send it up your neck to the top of your head.
I would suggest that if you’re a beginner, not to try to do all of this at once. Take one step at a time, starting with feeling your energy’s presence and then moving on to the pulsation and the concentrated movement. Once you have all of this down, a good practice is to concentrate the energy and move it as quickly as possible to one of your shoulders and let it rest there. Then, begin to send pulses of energy out of the small concentration at your shoulder down your arm. Once done, switch to the next shoulder. Then to your waist, sending the energy pulse to your knees one at a time. Next, do the same exercise by concentrating the energy into your knee and sending a pulse down to your feet.
This is a good exercise to train yourself to move your energy quickly throughout your body. If you are a beginner and don’t really know much about energy, you may want to look into Ness’s "Basic Energy" article before attempting this workout.
