Sometimes, I hit a wall and have to take a

nap to carry on. My clients are too tired to do

their homework due to brain fog. My friend is

suffering from such chronic fatigue she can

hardly walk a block.

What about you? Do you need and want more

energy?

Contrary to what most psychologists believe,

the laws of physics must be taken into

account if you want to be mentally,

emotionally and physically healthy. APA and

traditional psychologists made a mistake to

abandon the body psychotherapy movement.

The laws of nature apply to you because you

have a physical body. Let that reality soak

into your bones and cells and never forget it.

Body awareness is essential for good mental

health, emotional health and physical health.

Body awareness is a perquisite for holistic

health and self-confidence.

 

If you are lacking in body awareness, you are

trapped in your negative thoughts, ego states

and defensive reactions. Vibrant moments are

not possible in any of these states because

you are being controlled by your past learning

history and conditioning.

If you use the laws of physics instead of

psychological theories, you dramatically

improve your results. A simple thing like just

a little bit of body awareness can immediately

increase your energy. As soon as you increase

your energy, you decrease your depression

and anxiety. Yes, there is a direct relationship

between body awareness and anxiety and

depression. The more body awareness you

have, the less anxiety and depression you

have. This could be a psychological human

energy law.

For example, the psychological research on

depression repeatedly finds that physical

movement is the only thing that consistently

works. Physical movement is more effective

 

than medication or meditation. Depression

occurs when we depress our natural healthy

flowing energy. To stop depressing your

energy use body awareness activities. Body

awareness, which is ncreasing the

consciousness in your body is effective.

I coined the “ACE,” Active Conscious Effort,

years ago when I first discovered the

relationship between the flip flop behaviors of

anxiety and depression. Do you flip flop back

and forth between being depressed and being

anxious? When you flip flop between

depression and anxiety, you could be labeled

by traditional psychologists as bipolar or in

the old days, manic depressive, which is an

accurate description of your energy.

Holistic psychology does not use labels, we

use evidence-based learning research which

says that depression is an avoidance

response. This means you depress your

energy to avoid being anxious. It is your

anxiety that is the source problem.

 

Put notes on your mirror that remind you that

body awareness is essential for good mental

health, emotional health and physical health.

When you are depressed, you lack body

awareness, you are numb and devoid of

emotions and feelings.

It is exciting that body awareness can get you

out of depression. Yes, as soon as you use a

safe “Active Conscious Effort” you can shift

out of depression. Your ACE needs to be a

comfortable, easy to do action because in

learning research terms, small baby steps

successfully desensitize your anxieties and big

ones don’t. If you move, the result is your

energy increases and you feel better. You feel

better emotionally because your energy is

flowing and you are in physical reality instead

of stuck in your negative thoughts which are

making you anxious in the first place.

Use the ACE to get out of depression and use

systematic desensitization to reduce your

anxiety naturally. Body awareness exercises

 

help you feel the tension that is in your body.

When you notice you are anxious, if you care

about yourself, you immediately do something

to reduce your anxiety naturally. For example,

body awareness meditations help you relax

and breathe more fully. When you relax your

body and take deep breaths, you become

more grounded. If you continue to use body

awareness exercises during the day, you can

become a conscious breather which gives you

a great deal of power over your anxiety.

 

Imagine how full body awareness would feel.

You sink into gravity and completely relax

deep into the earth and feel at home. You

sense the human energy in your body

interacting with the physical world around

you. You feel part of the whole, not separate

and alone. You are having a vibrant moment

of being alive in your body. This body feeling

is genuine self-confidence. Self-confidence is

not a mental concept; it is a physical reality.

 

You cannot achieve self-esteem if you lack

body awareness.

With body awareness you are safer because

you can respond appropriately to any real

dangers that exist. If you stop to think, the

real danger could overpower and hurt you.

The more you relax and surrender into

gravity, the more self-confident and safer you

will be.

Let’s go back to the three examples of not

having enough energy.

“I hit a wall and have to take a nap to carry

on.”

This is a fact of life and the second law of

thermodynamics. When you run out of fuel,

you must rest and receive energy in order to

move forward again. Filling your cup up with

energy is all you need to do.

If relaxing and receiving energy does not

increase your energy, then your lack of

energy is due to something else.

 

“My clients are too tired to do their homework

due to brain fog.”

“My friend is suffering from such chronic

fatigue she can hardly walk a block.”

The other reasons we lose energy are we

waste it or give it away to something or

someone else.

So, ask yourself:

Did you give your energy away without

knowing it? Take time and ponder what is

truly happening to your energy. Where did it

go?

Another law is energy constantly changes its

form and cannot be created or destroyed.

This means energy moves around and

changes its form, it is not lost forever. Water

becomes steam, steam becomes water.

Therefore, if you have lost energy, it is

somewhere and you can find it and rekindle

1. I’m serious, you can discover what drains

you and what gives you energy.

 

I will discuss Energy Drainers and Energy

Boosters in the next newsletter. You can find

your desire and passion and rekindle the fire

you lost or gave away so you have energy

again. For sure. Trust the laws of physics and

use them to empower you as a human energy

force on planet earth who radiates light and love.
