Open to Energy

I am currently reading a book titled  "The Untethered Soul" written by Michael A. Singer. The book takes you on a journey of exploration of "self" and delves quite deeply into consciousness, awareness and the concepts of energy. Our energy levels can fluctuate up and down due to a number of factors within our control. We simply need to understand this and choose to be open at all times so that the flow of energy is not blocked.

When your heart starts to close, just say, "No. I'm not going to close. I'm going to relax. I'm going to let this situation take place and be there with it." Honor and respect the situation, and deal with it. By all means deal with it. Do the best you can. But deal with it with openness. Deal with it with excitement and enthusiasm. No matter what it is, just let it be the sport of the day. In time, you will find that you forget how to close. No matter what anyone does, no matter what situation takes place, you won't even feel the tendency to close. You will just embrace life with all your heart and soul. Once you've attained this very high state, your energy level will be phenomenal.You will have all the energy you need at all times. Just relax and open, and tremendous energy will rush up inside of you. You are only limited by your ability to stay open. 

As long as you are defining what you like and what you don't like, you are actually defining your limits. Let go and dare to be different. Enjoy all of life. Not only do you have the ability to find yourself, you have the ability to free yourself.

The more you stay open, the more the energy flow can build. At some point, so much energy comes into you that it starts flowing out of you. You can actually feel it flowing out of you. You can feel it flowing off your hands, out your heart, and through other energy centers. People can pick up on your energy, and you're feeding them with this flow. You become a source of light for all those around you. You experience a greater energy level and you can even affect the health of your body with your energy flow.

I am only a few chapters into the book, but am already finding it to be an enlightening read and have found myself trying to be aware of situations where I can practice being open. Anxiety, fear and judgement are responses that need to be replaced with openness in order to allow the flow of energy.
