If you want a lamp to shine, you plug it into an outlet. But when you want to shine, what do you plug into?

We learn in elementary school science class that everything is made up of energy. There is energy all around you emanating from people, pets, electronics and more. Without realizing it, you may be “plugging into” the different kinds of energy around you. But these won’t make you shine.

There is a specific kind of energy above and below you that your body is designed to plug into. I call it Life Force Energy. This is what makes you shine. This is what truly fuels you.

When you connect to this natural, life-giving flow of energy, your body and energy system resets, replenishes, and cleans itself.

It also protects you from absorbing energy from the people and other things around you and/or being drained by them.

What is Life Force Energy?

The Life Force Energy above and below you is supposed to flow to you and through you. But, as we live life, the flow is often slowed or blocked for a variety of reasons. Then, your Life Force Energy stops flowing to you naturally.

(This is especially true if you are an Empath because you were born with your empath gifts unknowingly ‘turned on.’)

Without this refreshing flow of new energy, your personal energy gets stagnant, slow, cloudy, and heavy. You crave more energy flowing into the bubble of personal energy surrounding you.

To get more energy, you connect outward to the energies in front of you, which are often other humans. But, they aren’t connected to their Life Force Energy either. So the energy you get from them is slow, cloudy and heavy, too. This just exacerbates the problem.

When you connect to your Life Force Energy, the natural flow is returned to you. The old, stagnant packages of energy you’ve been holding onto begin to be released. The energy packages you’ve accumulated from others begin to be released, too.

This cleans and refreshes your personal energy bubble. It recalibrates your whole energy system. (If you’re an empath, it also allows you to begin ‘shutting off’ your empath gifts so that you can go to the grocery store and not feel like you need to go home to take a nap after.)

Quick Note to Empaths:

If you identify as an empath, connecting to your Life Force Energy is even more important. As an empath, you spend so much time sensing how other people feel that you rarely get to know how you feel or get a sense of who you truly are. The accumulated energy packages build up at a higher rate which can completely clog up and overflow your bubble.

Connecting to your Life Force Energy helps you release all of the energy packages–your own and those you’ve absorbed from others–that you don’t need to be carrying around with you anymore. It creates space within and around you for you to get to know who you really are at your truest essence. And from this new, sovereign space, you can start to uncover your gifts as an empath and human. You can start to see ways your empath abilities can become a superpower. You can learn how to heal, protect and replenish your personal energy bubble.

How to Connect to Your Life Force Energy

This connection practice is for all humans, not just empaths. Just like showers are great for all humans to clean their physical bodies, this connection practice is great for all humans to clean their energy bubbles. Because, like we discussed above, all humans carry around energy packages they no longer need.

The coolest thing about energy is that everything is made up of energy. Energy can’t be created or destroyed, just changed. And energy can be changed simply by observing and having the intention to change it. Pretty incredible, right?

This means that energy responds to imagery and intention. This is why I sketch stick people to help my clients see and understand how their personal energy works. Once you have an image in your mind’s eye of how you want your energy to flow and state your intention for it to flow like that, it will.

This was hard for me to believe at first, but science has proved it. And I can’t deny the personal experience of me or hundreds of clients who have experienced it working for them.

This practice only takes a few seconds to do.

Step 1: Get Comfortable + Set Your Intention

Sit or stand with your eyes closed. Breathe and relax as best you can.

Set your clear intention and say it aloud to make it real: “I connect to Life Force Energy to clean, protect and replenish my energy bubble.” You can change the wording of that (or the language, too, if you’re multi-lingual!) to whatever feels best to you.

Step 2: Visualize + Connect

Close your eyes and visualize the drawing where the energy above and below you is blocked, stopped or cut off.

Imagine those blocks are actually trap doors. Imagine them opening up so the flow of energy can return to you.

Feel the Life Force Energy rush and flow down through your head and up through your feet. Imagine it keeps pouring in all through your body. You may begin to sense warmth, texture or color as it begins pouring into your body and personal energy bubble.

Step 3: Notice + Let it Go

Bring your attention to your inner experience and notice what feels different. You may notice colors leaving your body. You may sense heat leaving your body. You may notice emotions bubbling up. Set the intention to let them go. Continue to breathe and repeat a phrase like, “I release what no longer serves me.” Or simply, “I let it go.”

This is where you can play with it and get creative! Begin visualizing different things to see what works best for you. For example, you can visualize the sketch of energy packages leaving your bubble. You can imagine a vacuum nearby sucking out all of the things you no longer need from your energy bubble. Do your stubborn energy packages need some Scrubbing Bubbles® to get them to release? Visualize spraying them and see what happens.

Step 4: Complete

After a few minutes, you will likely sense some kind of physical, emotional, or energetic shift that it feels complete (for now, at least). Then, take a few deep breaths while you fill up with your life-giving Life Force Energy. Let it pour in and pool around you. Imagine the cells of your body are like dry sponges, eagerly absorbing every bit of it. When you feel satisfied and filled up with this Life Force Energy, go ahead and open your eyes. Your personal energy bubble is cleaned and refreshed.

You did it! You’re Connected!

Now, that you’re finally reconnected to your Life Force Energy, you will begin recalibrating to this new, life-giving energy all day long.

Keep in mind, this is a daily process to clean your energy bubble…just like taking a shower to clean your physical body. If your bubble is very full like mine was, it may take consistent, daily work with this process to ‘chip away at and release the backlog’ of energy packages stored deep within your bubble. Keep going!!

You are connected to the energy that will help you shine. Just like plugging a lamp into an outlet.

You May Be Wondering…

How long should this process take?
That really is up to what feels best to you. After you get comfortable with the connection process, it could take anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes each day. When I first started doing it, I had a lot to release so I did it 15–45 minutes, multiple times a day for a week or two.

How often should I connect to Life Force Energy?
I connect daily as part of my morning routine. I also reconnect during the day to recenter myself, and clean and replenish my energy bubble.

What if I don’t notice anything at all?
You may not notice anything the first few times you do it. That’s ok. It’s still working! Remember, energy responds to imagery (the things you imagine in your mind’s eye) and your intention (what you are wanting to happen). If you set the intention to connect to Life Force Energy and release what no longer serves you, that’s exactly what happens. Even if you can’t imagine it in your mind's eye or sense anything, it’s happening because of your intention.
