Your Body, the Living Battery

How's your energy level right now? Do you feel "charged up" and ready to go, or do you feel "drained"?

These common descriptions of how we feel have a basis in a deeper truth.

You are an electromagnetic being. Everything in your physical body works because of electrical impulses, which are sort of like sparks. Your body is a living battery.

When you are low in energy, the impulses that keep your body and mind functioning are less powerful, much like a battery that has a low level charge left in it. Instead of powerful, brilliant energy, your energetic impulses become dull and weak, misfiring or not firing at all. This results in thinking that is foggy and less clear, emotions that are jumbled, and physical well-being that is threatened.

The personal growth that you are working on takes energy. Lots of it. If you are low on energy you'll have only enough energy with which to survive. If you want to move forward in your life and accomplish your goals easily and quickly you need to take care of your living battery and keep it charged up.

How your living battery is depleted
You use up the stored charge of your living battery in numerous ways and in varied amounts. Some drains are obvious and huge, such as major physical activity or extreme stress. Other energy drains are a little more subtle. Here is a list of some energy drains that you may be familiar with:

• stress - emotional and mental
• healing from injury or illness
• negative thinking - yours and others around you
• other people who are unbalanced with their own energy, such as those who are needy, Drama Queens or Kings, passive agressive, or manipulative
• unhealthy eating or drinking
• dehydration

How many ways do you use your stored energy during the day? Make a list of them - ALL of them. If you think something is too unimportant to note, write it down anyway. If it's an energy drain it's important. The dome light in your car takes a very small amount of juice to run. However, if it's left on overnight it will drain your car's battery. Same goes for the small things in your life. ALL energy drains are important.

Keep your list handy and when you feel tired or drained, use it to help you discern what's draining the energy from your living battery. Add new items to it as you identify them and notice if there is a pattern to these energy drains.

How your living battery is recharged
Of course you know that a good night's sleep, eating healthy food, and taking vacations from work will recharge your battery.

Drinking sufficient pure water is also very important. Remember that water conducts electricity. If the battery in your car goes dry, you have a dead battery. You can put it on the battery charger all day, but it won't take a charge if there is no water in it. Likewise, if you aren't sufficiently hydrated, your living battery won't be able to accept the recharges you give it.

There are other things you can do during the day to recharge your living battery, such as:

• listening to uplifting music
• reading, hearing, or thinking inspirational thoughts
• looking at something beautiful
• connecting with your Higher Self, your Angels, your guides, etc.
• laughing
• napping or meditating
• breathing from your belly, not your upper chest

How else might you recharge your living battery during the day so that you're operating at maximum power? Make a list of what brings your energy level up and keep it handy. When you feel your living battery beginning to lose it's charge, refer to your list of "recharging stations" and make use of one, or more, of them.

Keep your living battery charged up so that you can move forward in your life with brilliant, powerful energy!
