Tuning the Song Within

Energy management practices are designed to promote a sense of ease within us, increasing our vitality and creating space to engage with and embrace an authentic life.

Energy management can also give us opportunities to move away from thought patterns that do not serve the sanctuary of our being. This can happen organically through time spent in nature, good companionship, music, laughter, or simply the experience of feeling heard or witnessed.

For the purposes of this website, EM (Energy Management) is intentional and woven into the meditations and practices—most often through playful or joyful means.

One of the principles used in EM is that “energy follows thought.” It is a simple yet profound idea that informs our lives in a pretty continuous way, whether we are conscious of it or not.

Release from habitual thought patterns that keep us stuck can come in many forms. While meditation is one of the primary practices, there are other skills—and sometimes even playful ones—that can be useful in energy management.

A primary goal is to release stagnant or stuck energy within our system that contributes to dis-ease, distress and disquiet, and to facilitate a return to our true nature: harmonious, vital, curious, playful and creative.

Something as simple as smiling to ourselves, placing a hand over our heart, or following our breath in and out of the body can help release our feel-good hormones and become an easily employed form of energy management.
