Everyone can use a little energy boost in life. There is great emphasis on things like exercise and nutrition to boost physical and mental energy, but what about spiritual energy?
By focusing on your spiritual energy you can increase your positive vibrations and that will enhance your whole being! Here are five simple ways to boost your spiritual energy, which will spill over into other areas of your life.
1. Sleep
It may sound odd but sleep can boost your spiritual energy. Getting adequate sleep is holistic. It improves your physical, mental and spiritual energy. When you sleep it gives your spirit a chance to explore astral realms or connect with the Divine. You can also incubate a dream and gain valuable intuitive messages. Either way it gives your spirit some free time away from the body to recharge.
2. Try Something New
Whether it’s learning a new game, trying a new recipe, or starting a hobby, trying something new can change your perspective. Give yourself permission to do something a little different. Also try to do it without self-judgment. Enjoy yourself as if you were a child exploring something for the first time. It will enhance your sense of wonder and lift your spirits!
3. Meditate
Meditation is a great way to boost your spiritual energy. Many people are turned off by meditation because they think it requires them to sit still for long periods of time. It doesn’t have to be that way! Meditation can actually be fun.
In lieu of traditional meditation explore chanting. Many local yoga studios offer Kirtan chanting classes or events. Chanting is done in a call and response style almost like a sing along.
The leader will chant a phrase and the audience will respond together. This is based on a form of Hindu devotion. Many Kirtan events include live music and they are a lot of fun. If you can’t find a class in your area there are a variety of chanting CD’s and MP3’s available.
Another alternative is a walking meditation. Pick a path to walk whether in a park or along a tree lined street. Focus on the sounds you hear like birds and the rustle of tree branches. Feel your body’s movements as you walk. Get lost in the journey, even if it’s only for fifteen minutes.
4. Travel
It doesn’t need to be a long cross-country trip, unless you want it to be. A trip of any length will give you a change of scenery and a fresh perspective. Notice how you feel in a new and different area. When we constantly remain in the same surroundings we can get stuck in a rut. New vistas shake up our routines and change our vibrations. Travelling can be spiritually inspiring and refreshing!
5. Perform Random Acts of Kindness
Performing random acts of kindness can do wonders for yourself as well as others. By giving unconditionally you are sharing the best part of yourself without expectation or judgment. Giving of yourself freely in this manner is a positive thing to do. It provides connection with another being and spreads positive energy all around. Little acts of kindness go a long way!
When performing these acts be sure to include yourself. How many times do we do for others but forget about ourselves? Go ahead and treat yourself to an ice cream, a massage, or a good book or television program. Being kind to yourself boosts your energy so you can share it with others.
Small and simple actions can help to lift your sprits and boost your spiritual energy. The little things in life can have a big impact. Take time to try these five simple tips and notice the positive changes within you!
