The dance of love and positivity

Dear Readers,
Rather than answer a question today, I'm going to share a technique I have been using that has increased both my physical energy and positivity dramatically.  I call it "Fullistic dance."  It gets all your energy centers going and glowing, and connects your multiple energy bodies to new people and situations.  It's fun, it's easy and it works!

To do it, you'll need some happy music.  Anything upbeat and uplifting will do.  Try to avoid anything that uses bad language, heavy metal, has an angry or hateful message or is dark and moody.  

Before you begin, stand straight, put a big smile on your face and say, "Spirit, undo me.  Spirit, move through me.  Spirit, renew me.  Let's play!"

Then turn on your music and start to dance.  For the first part, imagine that you are surrounded by loving, friendly energy that is ready to neutralize all your negative energy so it no longer impacts you or anyone else.  As you dance, shake out each and every part of your body that you can--arms, hands, legs, feet, torso.  Shake your head and wiggle your ears.  Loosen up, and feel yourself lighten up as all that negative, stuck energy disappears.  Again, see the negativity fall off you and disappear, gone forever.  Do this for one or more songs; you'll know you're done when you start to feel free.

Once you've cleared out the old gunk, you're ready to rev up your energy centers.  You have 7 chakras in your body, and what you want to do is get them all activated and balanced.  If you don't know what these are or where they are located in the body, do a little quick research--there's plenty of information about them on the Internet and in books.

To get your chakras glowing, place your right hand in front of your left about 3-4" in front of the chakra you want to energize.  Then rotate your hands from left to right in a circular motion.  You will feel a gentle warmth as the chakra "awakens."  Again, you will have a sense of when to stop and move on to the next chakra.  And even if you don't, no need to worry, because when you get to your crown chakra (top of your head), simply say, "Chakras, balance yourselves."  Your energy system will follow your command (and yes, you can simply say this at the start if you're pressed for time, but the circular "energy massage" does feel wonderful).

Once you are balanced, place both hands over your heart chakra and then extend them out, as if you were opening a door to love.  Imagine that light is filling your hands.  Then release it in whatever direction feels best to you.  Do this over and over and over, sending love in all directions.  You can send it to specific people, or simply intend that it go where it will be most welcome.

After you have given away love, it's time to receive more for yourself.  So this time, extend your hands out, imagine them filling with light, and then bring your hands back into your heart (or any part of your body that you feel is in need of love or to any chakra that feels weak).  Do this over and over, accepting love from all directions--around you, above you, below you, behind you and in front of you.

Then let your dance of love come to a gentle close.  Let your hands rest at your sides.  Put a smile on your face (if you haven't been smiling this entire time!).  Sense that you are safe and renewed for a wonderful day.

Enjoy!

Love,
EL
