We are Energy
Everything everywhere is energy. The food we eat, the water we drink and the air we breathe are all energy. We are energy and energy moves through us, it surrounds us and enfolds us. Like fresh air and clean water, we need energy (also called vital life-force energy, prana, chi and spirit) as well in order to live and to thrive.
Tension throws our energy (body, mind and spirit) off balance. When we are tense our breathing becomes shallow, the chatter in our minds becomes even louder and our energy becomes stagnate and inefficient. In the short term we experience this imbalance as fatigue and irritability and in the long term we experience this imbalance of energy as weariness and illness. Conversely, when we are relaxed our energy is balanced and flowing, the breath is full and deep, our thoughts are focused and the energy that surrounds us is allowed to penetrate and nourish the entire system, body, mind and spirit. We experience this balance as vitality, physical, emotional and mental wellbeing.
