Intuitive Healing.
Knowing Yourself through Core Energy
by sHEALy

Within the physical body there is a centralized energy source that acts as a resource for human knowing as well as spiritual perception. This source, core energy, creates a sense of knowing oneself and ones creator. Your "core energy," a spot located deep within your body from which you know the world, is more of an inner sensation than an actual physical place. Core energy is a combination of your thinking, feeling and physical existence. Maintaining awareness of this core allows you a sense of wholeness and peace of mind.

Those who learn to connect with their inner energy are usually those who have learned to give attention to their entire body. They practice a type of knowing called whole-knowing. Whole-knowing, a means of using ones intuition to know their entire body, spirit and mind can be enhanced through physical and mental exercises.

Below are four essential core energy exercises:

Discovering My Neck

I will discover my neck.
I will find it as if it has been lost or ignored.
When I find my neck, I will appreciate it and examine it closely.
I will tune into the physical sensations of my neck.
I look for sensations of pleasure as well as sensations of pain.
I will swallow and appreciate the working order of my throat and air ways.
I will take pleasure in feeling the throat muscles constrict and expand.
I will notice the slight changes my neck experiences.

Discovering My Heart

I will feel the rhythm of my heart.
I will grow relaxed and hear the beating of my heart.
I will feel the blood move through my heart and pulsate past my neck.
I will tune into the physical sensation of my heart.
I will hear only my heart.
I will close my eyes and see the beating heart.
I will see the beats as colorful sparks of energy.
I will enjoy the pleasure that my body creates.
I will notice the slight changes the heart commands.

Discovering My Hands

I will focus upon my hands.
I will feel the warmth of my palms.
I will find pleasure in the temperature below the skin of my palms.
I will experience the charkas of my palms open, stretch and communicate with the universe.
I will notice slight changes in the muscles of my fingers, wrists and thumb.
I will find pleasure in the weight of my hands and arms.
I will find my hands relaxing and growing heavy.
I look for sensations communication the pulse of the universe.
I will feel tingling from my finger tips.

Discovering My Center

I will locate the center of my body.
I will recognize the center of my body as a central source of balance and energy.
I will experience the breath as it influences the center of my body.
I will breathe deeply and allow my central body to absorb the magnetic forces of the universe.
I will tune into my stomach.
I will listen for sounds and sensations suspended from my outer energy source.
I will listen for sounds and sensations planted deep within my energy source.
I will enjoy the pleasure of my energy source.
I will listen to the rhythm of my central body.

Each day, after you practice the core energy exercises, you will notice your physical body growing healthier and more relaxed. And, your ability to communicate with spirit will grow as your body grows more serene. As your overall health improves, your ability to know yourself will increase and you will have developed a relationship with your uniquely individual core energy source.
