As Nikola Tesla said, “everything in the universe is energy and vibration”. And those who are practicing energy healing, holistic therapies, yoga, meditation, dance and martial arts, have experienced it first hand.

All the above practices help us keep our energy levels and vibes high by unblocking our energy centres (chakras), releasing negative emotions and rebalancing our electromagnetic system (aura). Apart from these powerful healing practices, there are of course other ways that we can also keep our energy and vibes high. Anything positive really that raises our mood, it raises our energy levels and our system vibrates higher. And why is this so important? Because at this state, our immune system is very strong and can fight off both physical and mental illnesses. There has been cases of people healing themselves from terminal illnesses such as cancer because they made the conscious decision to keep their mood and energy high. Therefore they manifested health, they boosted their system to heal itself and get back to harmony.

On the contrary, having a low and negative mood, will lower the energy and vibes and can generally cause the immune system to lower and become susceptible to illnesses. On the long term, when a person tends to be negative, angry or toxic, this can even lead to serious illness such as autoimmune diseases, multiple sclerosis or even cancer. Fear, anger and stress are literally lethal for our lives and this is unfortunately what is happening with all the negative news we are being bombarded with. Being in a constant state of fear, terror, uncertainty and anxiety will break us down little by little. 

Taking action is vital and a personal responsibility. Just know that you are not alone and that you have the power inside you! The human body and mind are sacred and amazing systems that have the potential to do great. And when we unite in positive ways, we amplify our energy and power!

Tips and practices to keep your energy and vibes high:

  • Practice gratitude
  • Practice positive thinking and having a positive mindset
  • Practice positive affirmations
  • Exercise
  • Spend time in nature
  • Spend time with pets and animals
  • Connect with others in a positive way
  • Read books 
  • Watch positive news, videos
  • Listen to your favourite uplifting music
  • Dance
  • Receive energy healing and holistic therapies
  • Practice yoga
  • Meditate
  • Practice martial arts

Please note: if you suspect or know you have mental health issues, please seek professional help and you can choose a professional therapist that suits you and a therapy that you feel is working for you! There is no shame in asking for help.

9 good habits for dealing with stress

We are going through a challenging period that forces us to face unpredictable situations beyond our control. It is normal to be stressed and anxious. However, there are many things that we can control and, if we focus on them, we can lift our mood and energy levels. So be careful to stick to the good ones that lift your mood! It is in your hand, you can do it!

First of all, let’s explore some common bad habits that deplete our energy levels and drop our mood. We have all done them and it is very tempting to keep doing them:

  • Overthinking and constant worrying: they take us nowhere while they deprive us of peace and joy from the present moment.
  • Inconsistent sleeping patterns: they cause imbalance to our nervous system which can lead to depression.
  • Eating junk and processed food: we may temporarily think that they relieve us of stress (comfort food) but all the toxins they they contain are actually increasing it.
  • Frequent/excess consumption of alcohol or substances: although we temporarily feel better, once their effect wears off we feel even worse. Furthermore, their harmful toxins deplete our body at all levels.
  • Negative people: they drain our energy and drop our mood.
  • Watching negative news: they bring us despair and anxiety.
  • Social media: their excessive use absorbs us and we end up wasting a lot of time. Furthermore, many times we are tempted to read negative posts or even get involved in debates and arguments with people we don’t even know.

The first step is to acknowledge the bad habits, realise that we fall for them and break the cycle. The second step is to replace them with good ones. Here is a suggested list with good habits that will help you deal with stress as they lift your mood and increase your energy levels:

  • Drink plenty of water!
  • Eat a balanced healthy and nutritious diet!
  • Schedule your bedtime routine: try to go to bed early so you can wake up early.
  • Enjoy time with animals: they give us love and we need it!
  • Spend time in nature: walk in a park, beach, forest, whatever you have available near you. Nature has healing properties; she absorbs our negative energy and fills us with positive!
  • Exercise, dance, yoga: movement generally increases our endorphins, the hormones of happiness!
  • Switch off from everything and listen to your favourite music. Create a space where you won’t be disturbed and dedicate this time to yourself.
  • Connect and communicate with others, especially positive people. Isolation fills us with despair while feeling part of a group/community gives us meaning and motivation.
  • Watch positive news, inspiring podcasts, positive articles, self-help books: feed your mind with positivity!

Did you know that words have power? Did you know that when we speak we create vibrations?

Positive words create beautiful vibrations and negative words create destructive vibrations. When we speak and use positive words, we create positive energy. However, when we speak badly or swear, we create destructive energy. Imagine how much power we create everyday depending on how we speak!

Have you heard of the water experiments? Japanese alternative medicine doctor Masaru Emoto created experiments with water and discovered that words emit specific frequency that the water can sense. When positive words were spoken, beautiful geometric crystals were formed in the water. However, when degrading or negative words were spoken, then broken and deformed crystals were formed. Dr Emoto concluded that, since we are 70% made of water, positive words create beautiful energy both in our body and to others around us. On the contrary, when we speak with negative words or swearing, negative energy is created, firstly inside our body and consequently to everyone around us. Therefore, we create as we speak and we have both the choice and the power to make beautiful and/or ugly energy.

Speaking with positive words has several impacts, like a ripple on the surface of water. Firstly, the vibrations that are created inside our body can either heal us or make us ill. This is how affirmations work; saying positive affirmations daily can truly change our lives drastically. Secondly, how we speak has an effect on others, not only to humans but also to animals and plants. Energetically, we are all connected and we have a responsibility to what effect we create to our environment.

Some positive affirmation that we can say loudly to ourselves on a daily basis are:

  • I AM HEALTHY!
  • I AM POWERFUL!
  • I AM SAFE!
  • I AM LOVED!
  • I AM GRATEFUL!

We have the power and we can create beautiful things! Let’s be more mindful with our words! Let’s create beauty inside and around us!

The simple things in life are the most important

Have we learnt yet to be grateful for what we have? To make the most of every single day? To be happy with simple things? To be grateful for our health? For being alive?

Everything in life happens for a reason. After every disaster there are new beginnings, new life, new ways of living. Nature always has a way and as we are part of it, we find a way to get through and manage. This period of the global pandemic and lockdown has undoubtably changed our lives in every aspect. Everything we had taken for granted was suddenly threatened.

We were forced to stop, we were forced to realise that we need to find new ways of living our life, new ways of existing. Precisely, we were simply forced to stop and appreciate everything around us. Appreciate our life, our existence, our health. Appreciate our family, our friends, our neighbours, our community, our networks. Appreciate the planet we live on; we are part of it. The planet can live without us but we cannot live without it.

We had to realise how important it is to reach out to others, to care, to ask for help or offer help, to create new ways to support or be supported. Suddenly, the definition of wealthy changed to being alive, being healthy, being happy, being loved, being supported, being appreciated.

The most important is that we had to learn (or remind ourselves) about solidarity between people, being a nice human being. Because this is the real health and happiness, when we are nice we shine from inside, we are all connected, we are all one.

Let’s hope that humanity will remember this once we get back to what we consider normal.
