At the core of all matter lies energy, and the human body is no different. The energy body is a template for the physical body. Core Energy is the balance of your physical, emotional and mental energies. For instance, emotional energy resonates with life and spiritual experiences, personal and professional relationships, and belief systems, which becomes literally encoded in your spirit and cell tissue.

Physical energy is the fundamental source of fuel in life. If you don’t have enough physical energy, you won’t have adequate emotional and mental energy. That’s why it’s imperative to eat right, get enough rest, and exercise regularly. Making that commitment will give your body and mind the best kind of energy.

Mental Energy is the ability to concentrate, to be productive at home or work, or to stay motivated to take daily challenges as an opportunity to learn and feel productive in today’s hectic non-stop society. A little bit of stress can actually be good. It can propel you to meet a deadline or prepare for a presentation. However, over time and if not handled well, stress can negatively affect your mental health.

We experiences stress when we have financial, physical or emotional pressures from time to time. Pressure is what is happening to us, but stress is how we react to those pressures. To maintain a good level of mental energy, we have to know how to manage stress. This doesn’t mean eliminating the pressures, but to manage our emotional reactions to them.

Emotional Energy is about feeling self-confident, young, appreciated, and deeply connected to the fun and hope of life. Emotional Energy is the result of the balance of your mental and physical energy. Emotional Energy is the happiness of your heart.
Lack of emotional energy is a big issue these days. Most people live under a lot of pressure, to earn more money, to be skinny, to exercise and to look young. They put out a lot and often don’t get a lot back. Most people feel overwhelmed by relationships and job responsibilities because their emotional energy is low. As a result, their relationships are the first to suffer, because we take them for granted. It’s not just in our relationships. Many of us are running on empty — and for good reason. We’re working harder and for longer hours, too. We have a lot of fears to cope with, everything from lack of money to terrorism.

Spiritual Energy is not a religious or metaphysical type of energy but the energy we get when we have purpose in life. Regardless of your spiritual beliefs, purpose is a necessary ingredient to live successfully. Purpose fuels your spiritual energy, which is the most important and most powerful form of energy. Purpose is a key to success and happiness. Purpose is the meaning of life. Purpose is the key that will unlock all your possibilities and potentialities. Having a clear purpose will help you perform as if your very life depends on it. The heart of the matter is this: You are spending the ONLY life you have to live. The question is what is your purpose?

Are you conscious of your purpose? Are you truly inspired every single day? If not, you need bigger, bolder and clearer goals in life. Having clear goals is the first step to achieving a strong sense of purpose and greater spiritual energy.

HOW TO MANAGE ENERGY LEVELS
According to neurobiologist Candace Pert, emotionally-charged thoughts and experiences cause the body to manufacture different neuropeptides, chemicals triggered by emotions. Researchers at the Institute of HeartMath (Boulder, Colorado) found that heartfelt emotions (even emotions associated with memories) raise DHEA and IgA levels while negative emotions lower both. However we use our life energy, whether we use it to promote bitterness and fear or joy and love, manifests in our biology.
Now that you are aware of what zaps and charges you, let’s take it a step further and discuss specific strategies you can use to manage your physical and mental energy.

First, you must know that the energy of your body will be balanced and free-flowing when you learn to manage your emotional, mental, physical and spiritual needs.

Second, everything that exists is energy. The entire universe is intelligent energy including the thoughts in our minds, the cells in our bodies, plants, animals, weather, money, planets and galaxies. We live in an infinite ocean of living intelligent energy and moreover - because we are components of it, we are intelligent energy. Quantum physicists speak of it as quantum reality; spiritual traditions speak of it as spiritual reality (God, Tao, etc). What you need to keep in mind is that our thinking affects what we call “physical reality”. The activity of our mind is thought. We are always acting because we are always thinking. At all times we are using energy to either drawing things to us or we are pushing them away from us. In the ordinary individual this process goes on without his ever knowing it consciously, but ignorance of how the universe works (intelligent energy) will excuse no one from its effects.

Third, your self-image reflects the energy that you want to attract into your life. What goes around comes around. Positive thoughts, words and actions will attract positive outcomes. Core Energy is a healthy self-image based on the integration of physical, mental and spiritual energy.

Four, your energy follows your thoughts. The moment you think a thought, you are exerting an influence because energy follows thought. The extent of your influence will depend upon the energy invested in the thought you think, and any other relevant thought.
Everything is interconnected - and that is why you already are influencing everything - from your own mental, emotional and physical wellbeing to someone else’s - regardless of whether that someone else is physically present or not. Basically, the Universe in which we live is mind-like in nature.

Five, you are responsible for your thoughts, feelings and actions. The consciousness of core energy has different names, including Ki, Chi, Chakras or Spirit. Proper training and stimulation of core muscles creates a dominant source of energy (core energy) which acts like the force of gravity. Core energy is a process that starts in the mind and is reflected in the way we use energy in our daily activities such as eating, working, studying or playing sports.

How To Increase Your Energy Levels

We all lead such hectic lives that being constantly tired or lacking energy can seem almost normal for many people. Just getting by can take up most of our energy, leaving little left to use to work towards our goals or building our ideal life.

It seems that most successful people have high energy levels. There may be exceptions, but I think it’s fair to say that there’s probably not that many examples of people who are constantly tired or exhausted, or burned out, achieving and sustaining high levels of success.

So what can we do to increase our energy levels?

Getting enough sleep, relaxing and taking time off when you don’t work at all, are the most obvious essentials to maintaining energy levels.

It will also help if we understand the different types of energy we use in our lives.

There is more than one type of energy. The main types of energy are physical, emotional and mental. Although these are distinctly different, they are closely related and interdependent.

Physical Energy

Physical energy is the most basic type of energy. This is the energy that’s used in manual labour. People who are involved in this kind of work usually need to eat substantial quantities of food just to sustain themselves. In many cases, at the end of each day they will have little energy left over for anything more than relaxing and sleeping so they can rebuild their strength in preparation for the next day. This is the situation for much of the world’s population, particularly in developing countries.

Fortunately, due to automation, labour saving inventions, computers etc many of us no longer have to work as hard physically as previous generations did. More people than ever are employed in knowledge based roles requiring little or no physical effort.

Emotional Energy

Emotional energy is the energy that allows us to experience happiness, joy, love, excitement and many other emotions, both good and bad. This is the energy that gives us our enthusiasm and our love of life, and allows us to have fun. Many of our actions are driven, in varying degrees, by our emotional energy.

Our emotions can have a great impact on our overall energy levels.

When you are with friends and loved ones and are happy, excited or having fun, you will usually find that you have plenty you energy and feel great. This type of interaction with others not only boosts energy levels, but is good for overall health and resistance to illness.

Unsurprisingly, negative emotions have the opposite effect. If you are feeling angry, upset, depressed, frustrated or stressed, for example, you’ll find your energy levels depleted and your resistance weak. If you keep feeling this way for extended periods, you’ll eventually burn out altogether.

If you can maximise positive emotions and maintain an overall optimistic outlook you’ll find that you have more energy that you can put to good use in other areas of your life.

Mental Energy

The other type of energy is mental energy. As many of us now work in knowledge based roles, we use a lot of this type of energy on a daily basis. This is the energy of creativity, decision making, writing, reading, learning new information and much more. Most of us now rely on our mental energy to survive.

How effectively we use our mental energy will ultimately decide how successful we are in our lives. It is our mental energy, through our thought processes, that determines our values and goals and the actions we take, which ultimately determine what we make of our lives.

How well we maximise the use of our mental energy and powers will be a major factor determining how successful and happy our lives turn out.

Negative Energy

One common setback to success is burning up energy in destructive ways. Although most of us don’t now engage in much hard physical work, many of us waste huge amounts of emotional energy. This can take many forms. It could be something a common as having a generally negative outlook on life. There are many other examples, such as being over sensitive or easily upset, or being prone to emotional outbursts of anger. or even violence.

Negative emotions can massively drain energy levels, in fact a five minute outburst of anger uses about as much energy as eight hours of mental work.

Being at your best mentally depends on being at your best emotionally. Keeping calm, not letting things bother you, and maintaining a positive mental outlook can make a huge difference to your emotional state, which will boost your mental and physical energy. So will ensuring you get enough sleep, taking time to relax and taking regular breaks where you forget your work altogether. These can be the critical difference between being always tired, highly stressed or constantly on edge, and enjoying a successful, rewarding and happy life.

Most successful people can be characterized as having very high levels of energy.

Since energy is the fuel with which everything is achieved, there seems to be a direct relationship between energy levels and levels of accomplishment. It is hard to imagine a tired, burned-out person achieving much in life. On the other hand, energetic, positive, forward-moving individuals seem to get and enjoy far more of the things life has to offer than does the average person.

Physical Energy is Basic
We have been led to believe that there is basically one kind of energy. We supposedly replenish this energy by sleeping at night, and during the day, we use it up again. It is as though we are machines powered by batteries, and each night we recharge our batteries for seven or eight hours. However, there are some problems with this view of energy. The biggest problem is that it does not deal with the fact that there are actually three different kinds of energy, each of which is necessary for maximum performance.

The three main forms are physical energy, emotional energy, and mental energy. Each of these energies is different, but they are interrelated, and they depend on each other.

The Sweat of Your Brow
Physical energy is raw energy, coarse energy, bulk energy, what we call “meat-and-potatoes” energy. Your physical energy is what you use to do physical labor. It is the primary energy applied by men and women who earn their livings by the sweat of their brow.

The Source of Enthusiasm
The second form of energy is emotional energy. This is the energy of enthusiasm and excitement. This is the energy that lends sparkle to the life of an individual. This is the energy that is necessary for feeling love, happiness, and joy. Largely, it is your emotional energy that makes life enjoyable for you. In fact, almost everything you say and do is determined in some way by an emotion, either positive or negative.

The Requirement for Creativity
Mental energy is the energy of creativity, of problem solving and decision making. You use mental energy to make sales, write reports and proposals, plan your day and your week, and learn new subjects. Your level of mental energy is a major determinant of the quality of your life.

Conserve Your Best Energies
The reason why most people fail to realize their potential in life and work is because they burn up their energy at the emotional level, or the physical level; therefore, they have very little energy left over for mental activities. Most people burn up their emotional energy through the expression of negative emotions. Negative emotions are like a fire that burns up their energy so quickly that they have very little left with which to think positively and constructively. In fact, one five-minute uncontrolled outburst of anger can burn up as much energy as an average person would use in eight hours of work.

Your job is to think continually about how you can stay calm and positive, and work smoothly and efficient, so you can have more mental energy to do the things that are most important to you in life.

Action Exercises
Here are three things you can do immediately to put these ideas into action:

First, take time to identify the different ways that you either use up or deplete your levels of physical, emotional and mental energy. How could you improve in each area?

Second, be sure to get plenty of healthful, nutritious food so you can keep your physical energy at high levels. This is the key to all other energies.

Third, look for ways to conserve your emotional energies by being more relaxed and optimistic in the face of daily problems and disappointments.

The more energy you have, the happier and more productive you will be.

Your intentions, your expectations and your thoughts create your life. It’s the same for everybody - whether you’re stuck in a boring routine life or super-successful - the only difference between both ends of that particular spectrum is that highly successful people know how to use their mental energy.

Everything is made up of energy - you, your body, the chair you’re sitting on, the air you breathe, the trees, this planet, the universe. Your thoughts are energy and they have a measurable impact on all the energy that synthesizes together to create your life. Scientific experiment has proved that thought and intention affects a computer’s generation of random numbers. It’s also been proven that expectation affects the speed at which water boils. I’ve a lot of clients in the power generation business - electrical engineers - and I love teasing them with this particular fact. They always respond that that couldn’t be right - it breaks the first law of thermodynamics - that energy applied to water in the form of heat makes it boil at a predictable rate. They’re right, of course, it’s just that it had never previously occurred to them that mental energy had to be taken into account as part of that equation.

Your energy - your mental energy - creates your life. But to create the life you really, really want, you’ve got to apply more than a normal, everyday amount of energy. So-called normal people - who might be stuck in a job they don’t like, in a relationship that’s dragging them down, suffering from ill health or just plain bored - don’t invest a sufficient amount of energy to alter their reality. Because the normal mind’s energy is turned inwards, into the inner recesses of the subconscious mind. And your subconscious mind has many recesses - dark places that prod at you from time to time. Some of my clients call these the “little voice in your head that says ‘no you can’t'” or “lingering self-doubt”. Doesn’t matter what you call yours, we’re all plagued by thoughts that hold us back - and that’s where we expend our precious mental energy.

You see, normally energy is spent on the retrospective and the introspective. Retrospective because your subconscious mind is obsessed with the misshapen impressions you have of yourself and life in general - the product of your up-bringing and early conditioning. That’s where the vast majority of your mental energy spends its time - playing in a past long gone. Psychology tells us that our every move as an adult is dictated by that early conditioning - that our behaviour happens subconsciously, automatically, reactively. The normal adult doesn’t have a single behaviour, turn of phrase, reaction or habit that is his or hers - they are all the product of subconscious programming.

By definition, therefore, the greater part of our energy is introspective - turned in on ourselves. But the real world is outside. Sure, your inner true self is the power that you must unleash - but it has to be unleashed on a waiting world. It has to be unleashed externally to enable it react with the energy of the universe that is all around you. That can only be done by you taking control of your mental energy and applying it to the real world. And the only place that you will find the real world is here and now. The real world has nothing to do with the past - even less to do with your own past, long gone. The real world has nothing to do with thought - either the distractive thought that annoys us daily or the deep-seated inner subconscious thought that is holding you back from creating the life that you really, really want.

The real world has to do with being in it - experiencing it, applying your mental energy to what is going on, here and now. If that here and now involves a job or relationship that’s getting you nowhere - doesn’t matter, for the time being, you’re going to have to do what you have to do - not through a haze of introspective reactive thought, but in the reality of this moment. If you turn your attention to this moment, you start mixing it up with all the energy that surrounds you, all the energy that synthesizes to create your life. You begin playing with universal energy - and, as quantum physics, molecular science, psychology and particle physics prove - universal energy responds. That’s how you have the normal live that you already have. The response isn’t much because you haven’t applied any mental energy worth talking about to the here and now.

You need to look outside the prison of your own mind. You need to start experiencing what’s really going on - now. You’ve only five ways of doing that - your five senses, your only interface with reality. You can start changing your life today by learning to apply more of your energy to today, by paying more attention, using your five senses, to today. You need to see, feel, hear, smell and taste what’s actually happening, not what your subconscious mind thinks is happening. You need to start paying attention.

There are all kinds of ways you can do this - but here’s a simple tip that has changed the lives of many who have just heard me speak for half an hour (they’re not even my clients). Start doing the little habitual things that you do every day differently. Start with little things - like brushing your teeth with the hand with which you don’t habitually brush your teeth. Little things will lead to great things - because in doing something so simple differently, you begin to hone your ability to pay attention to the here and now. In doing so, you start applying more of your mental energy to the only time and place that actually exists - the here and now. It’s here and now that the magic will start happening.
