It is time to feel happy and alive inside. Life is short and most Americans are suffering with energy disorders. For example most people suffering from depression and anxiety are unconscious energy vampires. Their energy bodies are clogged with low vibration negative energy and they have a hard time drawing chi form the spiritual dimension. Their energy bodies also get drained by the negative energy, which is vampiristic and parasitic energy.  We are all eternal beings, because we are not our bodies. We are our energy and energy cannot be destroyed.  The feeling of happiness and peace is attained through energy. It starts in the heart chakra and radiates out as high vibrating energy and peaceful energy, the energies of chi, kundalini and unconditional love that we must cultivate and grow inside for our own good health and happiness. But, before all else, happiness (defined as peace of mind and peace of spirit, joy and serenity) requires energy healing.

This article discusses the energies of chi and kundalini energy and the energy of unconditional love. It also discusses the anatomy and functioning of the energy body. Everything is energy. We are energy and all matter is energy and all matter radiates energy. We are animated by chi energy (universal life force energy) and there is chi energy all around us and in us and in all people, animals, plants and other life forms. Chi energy animates life. We are connected to each other through chi energy. Chi energy and earth energy (kundalini energy) and the energy of unconditional love keep us alive and healthy. We need both types of energy to be drawn into us and balanced in us to be happy and healthy.

We have an energy body that parallels and is attached to our physical body. We need a healthy energy body and a healthy physical body to be happy and healthy. The physical body and the energy body work in tandem to bring us pure, vital life force energy. When our energy bodies cannot freely draw-in process and distribute chi, we become listless and ill. Even if we can still draw in earth energy, we still need chi. Chi is the energy we draw in when we sleep. 

Our energy bodies are attached to our physical bodies and they run parallel to each other and interact with each other to make a unified person. Our energy bodies are our eternal and true selves and our physical bodies are mirror images of our energy bodies made of matter. Without our energy bodies, our physical bodies die and become inanimate, decaying matter.  The energy body animates the physical body with life force energy. The energy body consists of an aura, chakras and meridians. The aura is an energy shell that, when healthy, is intact and clean of low vibrating negative energy functions at a high vibration.  It draws in chi energy from the spiritual dimension (through its connection to the higher self that is suspended in the spiritual dimension) and earth energy from Mother Earth (kundalini energy). The aura protects us from bombardment by negative energy (negative energy is low vibration energy or earth energy that is channeled by people with the intent to harm, deceive or cause pain and energy that is generated by negative thoughts, acts, speech and emotions – i.e., thoughts, acts speech or and/or emotions based on anger, rage, fear, jealousy, depression, anxiety and worry and stress and negative and impulsive reaction to stress factors). The chakras and meridians process and distribute chi and kundalini energy throughout the energy body and these energies form beautiful life force energy in the blood stream that keeps us alive and healthy and full of vigor... Chakras are spinning vortexes of energy that go through your energy and physical body (from front to back) and attach to your meridians and aura. Meridians are the energy equivalent of blood vessels that vertically run through your energy body and physical body, and correspond to your physical blood vessels. Chi exists in the spiritual dimension. We can draw in chi from the spiritual dimension if we are connected to our higher selves. Our higher selves are suspended in the spiritual dimension. Well functioning auras draw in chi from the higher self and the spiritual dimension.  Well functioning chakras process chi and then work with the meridians to distribute chi through out the energy and physical body. The chakras and meridians deliver processed chi to the blood stream and thereby provide the blood stream with bountiful life force energy. So, it is critical to good health and happiness that chi from the spiritual dimension is drawn in, processed, distributed and flows freely through out the energy body. This requires the energy body to be relatively free of and unblocked by low vibration negative energy. The Chinese system of medicine and acupuncture and acupressure are based on the Chinese knowledge of these energy concepts. A well functioning energy body is critical to good health. A clean and well functioning energy boy fortifies the physical body’s immune system to fight off disease. A clean and well functioning energy body is critical to eliminate pain. 

So, low vibration, negative energy blockages in the aura, chakras and meridians and negative energy attachments to the aura prevent chi energy form being processed and distributed throughout the energy body and converted into life force energy in the blood stream. All this low vibration negative energy causes disease and pain. As this negative energy penetrates the mental and emotional layers of the aura and attaches to the aura it causes obsessive thoughts, ruminations and spinning thought s and negative thoughts and emotions. These negative thoughts and emotions drain our energy body and cause us more and more stress. All of this negativity makes us unhappy. It torments our minds. A healthy aura has no cracks and fissures in it and very little negative energy in or attached to it. It is intact and vibrates at a high vibration. Cracks and fissures in the aura are caused by stress and trauma in life. A healthy energy body is calm and balanced and draws both chi and kundalini energy. An unhealthy energy body does not draw much chi from the spiritual dimension. It draws earth energy from Mother Earth and can draw chi and life force energy from others. But, the chi and life force energy from others is often polluted. This energy from others has negative energy in it too. So, if your draw the energy of others, it can bring more negative energy to you thoughts and emotions to people drawing it because they are drawing in that person’s negative energy as well. . It is better to draw kundalini from the earth and pure chi from the Universe, because these energies are pure.

Reiki treatment is a great way to draw in a lot of pure chi energy from the spiritual dimension. To most of us, it will feel like we are drawing in pure oxygen. But, you must get Reiki healing for the specific purpose of energy re-charging.  Kei is chi in Japanese. Reiki comes form Zen Buddhism and it consists of hands on and remote energy healing  Reiki healers are attuned and trained to channel chi energy into percipients at up to 50 X the normal rate. Reiki healers will re-charge your batteries through energy healing dedicated to the specific goal of energy re-charging. Reiki healing will calm your energy body too and thereby bring you peace of mind and peace of spirit. There are many healing circles popping up everywhere. Go to them and ask the healer to focus specifically on pumping energy into you to re-charge your batteries. Then clasp your hands together on your lap when you get re-charged (this completes and connects your energy circuit and prevents energy from escaping). You can clasp your hands in any way you like for re-charging. The moodra is often used for this purpose. It comes from ancient Indian tradition the moodra is the left hand placed over the right hand and the thumbs touching to create an oval shape. This hand position also completes your energy circuit so you will hold in the energy and it will not escape. Now, as you get Reiki treatment, visualize all that chi being pumped into you from the Reiki healer accumulate in your solar plexus chakra like a bright hot ball of burning energy mass. Breathe that chi in deeply into your lungs and hold it there and visualize it fill up your solar plexus (this is your energy furnace). You can do the same with kundalini energy anytime. Sit up with your feet on the floor and will that energy up your feet and into your solar plexus with your eyes closed. Again, visualize it accumulate inside your solar plexus like a big ball of burning mass. Keep your hands clasped together when you do this. Do the same thing with chi on your own. Breathe that chi into your lungs deeply as visualized white light and see it accumulate in your solar plexus... Breathe it in directly into your solar plexus chakra through visualization Visualize it accumulate in your solar plexus directly to re-energize you. Visualize a blazing sun in your heart chakra and send that white light from your heart chakra all around you and in you and smile.

To calm your energy body, get Reiki healing also. If you are having sleeping problems or insomnia, have a Reiki healer send you healing on a remote/long distance basis. It will make you feel peaceful, clam and serene and help put you to sleep.  Also, to calm your energy body, go to a body of water and just look at it and be one with the water. Stop all thoughts by shifting into the center of your body and just meditate on the water. Meditate on the color light blue and do deep breathing exercises, breathe in visualized white light and exhale all negativity as black smoke. Also visualize that you are breathing in colored light blue light deep into your lungs. Say the following positive affirmation to yourself I am happy, peaceful and serene    . 

Energy healing is very important to get your energy body to function well. The healing of the energy body requires the extraction and detachment of negative energy form it and the healing of cracks and fissures in it. Energy healing is required for this. Also, the aura must be made intact or otherwise negative energy will continue to get in. Also, all depressed people and people suffering from mood disorders and other forms of mental illnesses are often unconscious energy vampires. So, people around you will likely unconsciously (and sometimes intentionally) take your chi and life force energy from you. So, you must develop a high vibration and intact aura to protect your energy.  The first step to energy healing is to find a good energy healer. I recommend Reiki healers who are also Core Shamans or work with Core Shamans.  When you are on the mend or whenever you feel low on energy, go to Reiki healers or healing circles to get your energy body re-charged.

Avoid further accumulation of negative energy. Most negative energy comes form our own thoughts, acts and speech and our negative and impulsive reaction to reaction to stress factors. Avoid stressful situations and people. They will drain your energy. Stop ruminations and obsessions through visualizations designed to detach you from the energy chords that attach you to negative people and situations. Get your thought out of the past or the future or negative territory. Monitor them and switch yourself to being in the moment and focused on your breathing, objects in the moment, music, work, hobbies, etc. Negative, running, spinning, ruminating and obsessive thoughts burn up energy... So, meditate a lot more and stay focused, focused, focused in the moment and on task. Just be, just exist and smile gently. Go into nature and breathe in all that life deeply into your lungs. Life and energy and happiness go together. Over thinking just burns our energy and brings us down. Visualize the ducks in a duck pond, just floating and doing nothing, happy to be alive and exist. See the statues of Buddha or Quan Ying. They just sit there and do nothing. They replenish their energy through meditation. They draw in the breath of life by deep black and white breathing and they are doing nothing and thinking nothing. They are just calmly being/existing – no stress, i.e., no energy drainage. They have peaceful and calm minds.

Now put your hands over your heart or solar plexus chakra, Shift your energy down there and live there, not in your head. Use your head for productive through only related to problem solving or work. Visualize your head to be a lap top computer that you only take out on occasion. The rest of your time just be, just exist, and just live in the moment with full engagement and awareness. Monitor your mind when your thoughts start tog o here and there and everywhere, shift into your heart or solar plexus chakra and close your eyes and do some deep breathing or meditation where you focus on your breath,. When you focus on your breath, you will drive away negative, ruminating, obsessive, spinning thoughts that consume your energy. 

Below is a description of the Chakras from Wikipedia:

The Brow Chakra
 
Ajna (along with Bindu, also known as the third eye chakra) is linked to the pineal gland which may inform a model of its envisioning. The pineal gland is a light sensitive gland that produces the hormone melatonin which regulates sleep and awakening. Ajna is symbolised by a lotus with two petals, and corresponds to the color white, indigo or deep blue. Ajna's key issues involve balancing the higher & lower selves and trusting inner guidance. Ajna's inner aspect relates to the access of intuition. Emotionally, Ajna deals with clarity on an intuitive level.
Note: some opine that the pineal and pituitary glands should be exchanged in their relationship to the Crown and Brow chakras, based on the description in Arthur Avalon's book on kundalini called Serpent Power or empirical research.)

Vishuddha: The Throat Chakra
 
Vishuddha (also Vishuddhi) may be understood as relating to communication and growth through expression. This chakra is paralleled to the thyroid, a gland that is also in the throat and which produces thyroid hormone, responsible for growth and maturation. Symbolized by a lotus with sixteen petals. Vishudda is characterized by the color light or pale blue, or turquoise. It governs such issues as self-expression and communication, as discussed above. Physically, Vishuddha governs communication, emotionally it governs independence, mentally it governs fluent thought, and spiritually, it governs a sense of security.

Anahata: The Heart Chakra
 
Anahata, or Anahata-puri, or padma-sundara is related to the thymus, located in the chest. The thymus is an element of the immune system as well as being part of the endocrine system. It produces the T cells responsible for fending off disease and may be adversely affected by stress. Anahata is symbolised by a lotus flower with twelve petals. (See also heartmind). Anahata is related to the colours green or pink. Key issues involving Anahata involve complex emotions, compassion, tenderness, unconditional love, equilibrium, rejection and well being. Physically Anahata governs circulation, emotionally it governs unconditional love for the self and others, mentally it governs passion, and spiritually it governs devotion.

Manipura: The Solar Plexus Chakra
 
Manipura or manipuraka is related to the metabolic and digestive systems. Manipura is believed to correspond to Islets of Langerhans,[27] which are groups of cells in the pancreas, as well as the outer adrenal glands and the adrenal cortex. These play a valuable role in digestion, the conversion of food matter into energy for the body. Symbolised by a lotus with ten petals. The colour that corresponds to Manipura is yellow. Key issues governed by Manipura are issues of personal power, fear, anxiety, opinion-formation, introversion, and transition from simple or base emotions to complex. Physically, Manipura governs digestion, mentally it governs personal power, emotionally it governs expansiveness, and spiritually, all matters of growth.

Svadisthana: The Sacral Chakra
 
Swadhisthana, Svadisthana or adhishthana is located in the sacrum (hence the name) is considered to correspond to the testes or the ovaries that produce the various sex hormones involved in the reproductive cycle. Svadisthana is also considered to be related to, more generally, the genitourinary system and the adrenals. The Sacral Chakra is symbolized by a lotus with six petals, and corresponds to the color orange. The key issues involving Svadisthana are relationships, violence, addictions, basic emotional needs, and pleasure. Physically, Svadisthana governs reproduction, mentally it governs creativity, emotionally it governs joy, and spiritually it governs enthusiasm.

Muladhara: The Base Chakra
 
Muladhara or root chakra is related to instinct, security, survival and also to basic human potentiality. This centre is located in the region between the genitals and the anus. Although no endocrine organ is placed here, it is said to relate to the gonads and the adrenal medulla, responsible for the fight and flight response when survival is under threat. There is a muscle located in this region that controls ejaculation in the sexual act of the human male. A parallel is charted between the sperm cell and the ovum where the genetic code lies coiled and the kundalini. Muladhara is symbolised by a lotus with four petals and the color red. Key issues involve sexuality, lust and obsession. Physically, Muladhara governs sexuality, mentally it governs stability, emotionally it governs sensuality, and spiritually it governs a sense of security.

When you have a lot of dark and negative energy attached to or embedded in your aura, your aura will become non-existent and dark grey. The negative energy stifles and consumes your aura. As this negative and dark energy consumes your aura and your life force energy, it .makes you tired, listless and depressed. Your energy is consumed and suffocated. Your energy body cannot draw process and distribute chi energy from the spiritual dimension. So, you lose life force energy in your bloodstream and you cannot re-build it. Your soul or higher self and what is left of your aura is smothered and cut off from the spiritual dimension by negative energy. You become depressed, anxious, bi-polar, etc. You lose the protection of your aura.  The resulting blockages in your energy body cause painful toxins to build up in your physical body and fill your chakras and meridians with dark goop. Your chakras get out of line and stop spinning. Your meridians get blocked too. Negative thoughts and emotions result. Negative and dark acts and speech result. Energy blockages in the chakras may damage the corresponding organs. Most of us under these circumstances become unconscious energy vampires or psychic vampires, and we draw energy from others. When the aura is healthy, the aura (1) protects you from negative energy—i.e., it repels the negative energy generated by others, and (2) draws in positive, healing energy. When the aura is consumed and grey in color, it loses its power to act as provided.

So, happiness and high energy comes as you get your energy body cleansed and healed and functioning at a high vibration and connected to the higher self. Spend a lot of time in the spiritual dimension (through prayer and meditation) and then get in tune with energy vibrations of your energy body.

Happiness and high energy comes from positive interactions with others (even if you don’t trust them – let go). But, to be truly happy with others, you must first find happiness inside yourself. You cannot be happy and carry around psychic garbage such as guilt, anger, shame, fear, anxiety, worry, resentment, self-pity, jealousy and other negative thoughts, negative thought patterns and negative emotions. You cannot be happy while you carry around the burden of negative memories. You cannot be happy while you obsess and ruminate. You cannot live in low vibrations and expect to live in high vibrations at the same time. These two vibrations are mutually exclusive. So, to be happy, you must (i) cleanse, balance and heal our energy systems, (ii) detach from and let go of negativity, (iii) detach from everything while fully engaging in and embracing the moments and life, (iii) avoid negative people and build strong boundaries with them and psychic shields and (iv) love yourself and all others, be positive and loving and kind and compassionate, have fun, live in the moment, and meditate daily. This generates and projects positive energy/chi that comes back to you in multiples. Do not intentionally cause pain and suffering and deception. This generates and projects negative energy, which will come back to you to drain your energy and hurt you. The energy we generate and project is the energy we get back. Unconditional love is energy that we channel to each other and ourselves through the heart chakra. You do this by closing your eyes shifting your energy into your heart chakra and sending out unconditional love to yourself and others as visualized white light. It causes us to feel calm and serene inside... Work with crystals in your meditation to raise your vibration. Crystals such as Herkimer Diamond, Amethyst and Citrine are good at raising vibrations. To cleanse your heart chakra, hold rose quartz in your left hand and hold it your heart chakra while you meditate. Visualize a big laser beam of white light hit your heart and melt away the hard shell around your heart Close your eyes and visualize the hard shell around your heart melt and give way to a pounding pink heart of flesh.

Have fun, smile and laugh Do something fun. Watch a comedy. Think of something funny and smile. Consciously put a smile on your face. Laughter and smiles chase away negativity. Indulge yourself and make your self happy and calm. Get a massage and go to spas and take luxurious baths. Go shopping. Spend time around crowds of excited and happy people.  Connect with and integrate into your personality your loving, happy and holy higher self and your fun loving, happy and innocent inner child. Generate and project as much positive energy as you can. It will come back to you in multiples to re-charge your batteries. 
.             
Spend most of your time with your loved ones who truly love you and with positive people who love and support you and want you to be happy. Think about them and not people who intentionally hurt you or deceived you and caused you pain. Focus your thoughts and attention on your loved ones.  Hug your kids and tell them how much you love them everyday. Do the same with grand children. Do things with them and for them. Do things to make them happy. Have meals together. Go out to eat together. Do activities together. Take walks together. Just be together and enjoy each other’s company. Be around positive people and avoid negative and toxic people who drain your energy and send you negative energy unconsciously or intentionally .This will re-charge your batteries and limit energy drainage.

Do for others and get your mind out of your troubles and problems. Get your thoughts out of the negative by focusing your mind on positive activities, like tasks, charity, hobbies and volunteer work. Hug others and greet all others with a smile.  Do volunteer work and give time (not just money) to charity. Do social activities. This will force you out of your shell and negative thoughts in a positive way. Spread the sunshine and make others happy. The positive energy you generate will come back to you in multiples to re-energize you. Have someone send you unconditional love as visualized white light form a distance. Ask Reiki practitioners to do this for you before you go to sleep. It will ensure you have a good night sleep and re-charge your batteries through sleep.

Do not react to anger from someone else with anger or fear. Their anger is their illness. Do not make it yours by getting angry, afraid or stressed out from them. Do not meet anger with anger. Do not meet anger with fear.  Dispel, release and let go of anger and fear through meditation and black white breathing.  Do not hold onto negative emotions. Do not hold onto injuries. Let them go. Do not think about them or stew over them. These emotions and thoughts will drain your energy. Detach, let go and forget about it. Make your peace of mind and peace of spirit and joy your number one priority. This will enable you to live much longer without as much pain and disease and it will enable you to enjoy life more and not permit a turbulent mind and emotions to drain your energy. Meditate and get Reiki healing often.
