Mixing and Matching Energies
Whatever it is you are trying to do there is an energy you can harness to fuel it: Do you need more
memory, more calm, more alert, more concentration, sleep, creativity and so on.
Anyone who has a cell phone has labored over attempting a task on the device. Then later a friend
shows you a super simple function or app already
on your device that can do the job for you in a snap.
What a difference that makes in relieving stress and
replacing it with smooth sailing.
We don’t have “apps” in our body, per se, but we do
have mechanisms and templates that work similarly and can help us tap our energetic “sweet spots”
fast and issue the changes we’d like throughout
our entire being of body-mind-spirit.
Body Intelligence is learning how to use these
mechanisms to achieve the exact energy you need.
We Live in a Physical World for
a Reason
You are energy, your world is energy, and everything
in your world is energy. We have a body and live in
the physical world for a reason. As such, the body
becomes an instrument to balance and evolve the
mind – to higher consciousness. It can be so simple. When your mind is fatigued, depressed, disor-
ganized, you don’t want it imposing its influence
over your body. If that happens you are going to
have two problems. But the fix can be easy. Here’s
a tiny example: Who in the middle of a rough day
hasn’t taken a walk outside and felt better? Not
only does the exercise refresh your energy reserves
but the extra “light” reduces the amount of melatonin in your bloodstream – the hormone making
you feel groggy in the first place. Sometimes that’s
all you need. But there’s so much more you can
do to rev your body’s electro-chemical patterns in
similar simple ways.
Ultimately, Body Intelligence is about learning how
to take simple feel-good patterns of activity and
amplify the feel-good effects. This can be seen, in
some cases, as equivalent to increasing the dose of
say a pharmaceutical or exercise, mental of physical. You can learn how to sustain the effects of feelgood patterns, giving them long-lasting power. Ultimately and literally, you can create a whole new
brain and mind circuitry that will activate to spark
the energy you need automatically, as you need
it. Beyond ourselves, when you gift this personally nourishing energy outward, you change and
evolve the world.

Life.
