The Top 12 Tools for Maintaining Your Energy

People ask me all the time, what is the best way to maintain my energy or what's the best way to balance my chakras? While there isn't one way that is better than the others, there are a number of different tools that you have at your disposal regularly to help aid in maintaining your energy and balancing your chakra. 

​Once you have gained the awareness as to how energy moves throughout your body and how each chakra feels, it will be easier for you to make lifestyle adjustments in order to have better energy and maintain balanced chakras on a regular basis.  Read on for my list of the top 12 tools for maintaining your energy!

1. Food is our main source of energy and fuels our bodies! You eat to nourish your physical body energy, so why not feed your energetic body as well? Eating specific foods that are coordinated with specific chakra can assist in boosting chakra function!
2. Water is liquid energy! By staying hydrated, energy is able to move easily throughout the body.  If the body is not properly hydrated, the body’s natural flow of energy is disrupted and it cannot function to its highest potential.  This is one of the most important (and easiest to forget about) steps in maintaining healthy energy.
3. Baths can be used as a physical method to cleanse the energy of all of your chakra simultaneously.  Since water is liquid energy, immersing yourself in it is the perfect use!  Salt baths can be used to help draw out impurities and toxins in the body and help  blocked energy to move.
4. Showers not only serve as a method of physically cleaning your body, but they can be a method of energetic clearing as well.  You can even meditate and envision yourself in a shower and feel yourself being cleansed and renewed!
5. Plants are medicinal in nature and hold healing properties associated with the frequencies they carry.  Aromatherapy and the application of essential oils can help to align the chakra.  Common applications are in personal care products such as soaps, lotions and sprays.  Oil diffusers and candles are also great options for introducing soothing aromas into your personal space.
6. Crystals are living energies that grow from elements of the Earth, each carrying a specific metaphysical purpose and frequency. They are often used by placing them on their corresponding chakras, meditating while holding the stone or worn on jewelry. They help us to raise our vibration and hold the elevated space.
7. Color therapy goes far beyond basic chakra work.  By surrounding yourself with color, you can boost your mood and improve your state of mind. You can also work with the specific colors that are aligned with the chakra by wearing the color on clothes, jewelry or even tinted lenses on sunglasses! 
8. We all run on solar power! The sun is nature’s battery! Sunshine contains the complete spectrum of all the colors so it recharges all your chakra simultaneously.  This acts as an instantaneous boost even when outdoors for just a few minutes! 
9. The practice of yoga was specifically designed to move prana (energy) throughout the body with specific asanas (poses) using pranayama (breathing) techniques. It was literally created with your body's complex circulatory systems in mind! 
10. Energy work like Reiki, Therapeutic Touch or the laying on of hands helps to  move stagnant energy though out the body.  When dense energy builds up in the body it can manifest into the physical body as discomfort, pain and disease. 
11. Exercise is a great way to move energy throughout the body and unblock your chakra!  Qigong and Tai Chi are other Eastern meditative practices specifically created with the intention of moving life force energy throughout the body.
12. Meditation is one of the easiest and most cost effective tools to maintain your energy regularly.  Think you can't meditate? Learn why you absolutely can here!
