Read time approximately 3 minutes. Learn a simple yet powerful energy awareness practice that helps you break the emotional feedback loop.
Ahead lies a deceptively simple practice.
But it only works if you’re willing—truly willing—to stop fighting what is.
You don’t have to like what’s happening.
You do have to stop arguing with it.
Perhaps you find yourself struggling with acceptance.
Even your resistance to the moment can be accepted.
If done sincerely, it changes everything.
That’s it. That’s the only precondition.
Let’s begin…
Thoughts feed emotion.
Emotion feeds thought.
Anxiety, fear, dissatisfaction. Each one thickens the air, forming the fog we call stress.
The mind races, the body tightens, and soon we’re fighting a storm that seems to come from outside—but is actually rippling out from within.
Which comes first, the thought or the emotion?
It doesn’t matter.
It’s all energy.
But label that energy—stress, sadness, restlessness—and the moment we label it, we solidify it.
We make it heavier than it is.
And then we try to fix it.
But what if it isn’t bad?
What if it’s just energy—mislabeled, misunderstood?
Here’s the practice:
Energy arises.
Can you catch it before it catches you?
Don’t name it.
Allow it—not as a problem, but as a presence.
It’s not you—but it’s not wrong either.
It doesn’t define you.
It’s just an experience, moving through.
There’s no need to resist.
No need to explain.
Let it move.
Let it transform.
It’s just this simple:
1. Recognize the signal. Thought. Emotion. Tension. An inner shift.
2. Drop the label. Don’t call it stress or fear. Call it energy.
Or better yet—don’t call it anything.
3. Meet it. Welcome it. It may feel uncomfortable. That’s fine.
Don’t turn away. It will pass. You can take it.
4. Feel it fully. In the chest, the spine, all over.
Let it echo. Don’t brace—open.
5. Lean in. Imagine it’s fuel. Let it strengthen you.
6. Let it radiate. Let it pulse.
Feel it emanate like sun rays from your fingers and your toes.
Energy awareness practice forms a new loop
This isn’t about silencing the mind or chasing emotions away.
It’s about recognizing what’s here—and stepping into it.
Even discomfort becomes opportunity.
Even pain becomes fuel.
Pretend, if it helps, that this sensation is your superpower.
That it’s transforming you in ways thought never could.
Let that story fade too.
Because the thinking about energy isn’t the same as feeling it.
Suddenly a new loop takes shape:
Instead of desire leading to frustration,
acceptance leads to power.
Stillness.
Warmth.
Relief.
You don’t need a different life.
You need a different relationship with the energy of your life.
And yes—it will take practice.
You’ll forget.
You’ll fall back into the story.
That’s okay.
Just start again.
Each time you lean in—rather than clinging or naming—you change something.
Not by force.
By trust.
Practice takes practice.
But every time you remember, the remembering gets easier.
