Energy is life. The more energy we have, the more we can get done. The average individual however, in a stagnant setting such as watching TV or sitting working at their computer, will only expend around 20% percent of their total energy that’s available to them.
For those who routinely over achieve, the superstars among us, they’re thought to expend closer to 50% percent of their total energy capacity.
Professional athletes are routinely thought to burn close to 90% percent of their available energy.
What we ideally want to do, is burn 100% of our energy which is focused directed on what we’re doing at all times, especially when at work.
Need More Life
But realistically, that’s not physically possible, as most will complain they’re just too tired due to fatigue.
What our fast paced lifestyles does, is it pushes us to be constantly on the run. We’re forced to endlessly multitask, as we need or want to get things done ASAP.
We’re constantly required to juggle our social, work, and family lives. We become physically and mentally exhausted and feel an energy crunch.
The biggest casualty as a result then becomes our personal health which takes a beating.
Our fitness levels decline, and we completely forget about personal growth.
Our Own Personal Energy Crisis
What we all experience is our very own energy crisis as a result, as we think we’re expending all we have, then feel exhausted.
The majority of us are constantly feeling we’re running on fumes. We experience fatigue, which we attempt to cure with vitamins, caffeine, and exercise.
What needs to be defined is what energy actually is, and how we can manage it better.
What Is Energy
The clinical definition of energy, is it’s the deepest core level of everything which is in the universe, that we experience.
Children will times will show too much of it, becoming too hyper and over reactive. Most often as adults, we’ll complain about not having enough of it.
We’re also aware there are certain activities, which needs more energy than others.
There are certain situations and events, which will absolutely suck out our livelihood altogether, leaving us breathless.
The Limitations Of Energy
Most believe our own personal energy is something that’s finite, as in limited or in short supply.
We also think we just have a certain ration of this energy reserve in our tanks. Once this energy is depleted, we’re out for the count and need a nap.
What’s also known and obvious, is certain individuals appear to have more energy than others.
We also assume our energy reserves will diminish, as we begin to age.
The Energy Of The Universe
Some theorize the energy of the universe is unlimited, that there is an infinite amount available to be harnessed.
And since we’re all somewhat connected to the universe, our energy as a result should be unlimited as well.
Even if you happen to deplete all of your own personal energy from your body, the universe should be standing by and waiting, eager to fill it back up.
The real issue however, when it comes to energy isn’t if there’s enough of it to go around or not.
It’s more about our ability to be able to access and harness it properly, allowing it to flow through us.
The ultimate goal should be to somehow control our energy, and not allowing it to control us. One of the main ways to do so is found to be how we breath.
Energy And Breathing
Proper breathing techniques are emphasized in a lot of different practices, as well as taught in a variety of methods and disciplines.
One of the most popular of breathing techniques, is known as “ha” breathing.
The process is easy to learn, as all that’s required is a bit of concentration and focus.
To begin, start by inhaling through your nose and breath in for around 4 seconds.
Then exhale the air through the mouth while counting up to 8 seconds, making a “ha” sound.
The inhale and exhale process should always be at a ratio of 1 to 2. For instance 3 seconds inhale, equals 6 seconds of exhale.
As you continue to do this, it’s advised you be standing up, with your feet shoulder width apart.
Also extend your arms out while the palms of your hands are facing up. Place your arms down once they get tired.
So how long should this be done? Historically, some would continuously do the “ha” breathing technique permanently, to build up universal energy.
To increase as well as balance this energy for yourself, it’s recommended you do this breathing technique for a few minutes each day, to begin.
It’s recommended to do it for longer periods of time, if you’re facing a particularly stressful situation which requires more energy.
Simple Energy Generation
This simple breathing technique, is an extremely easy exercise to do, while also being an extremely powerful and effective one.
Proper breathing, is one of the core basics of prolonging life and living.
It’s basic elemental breathing if you are interested in learning how to control anything, such as your energy, life force, higher self, or thoughts.
As easy as this may sound, everything begins with developing proper breathing technique, as oxygen is life.
The reason is because for each and every breath you take, gives you renewed life. Adopting proper breathing technique, is the key to increasing energy.
If you’re not able to control your own breathing, how then can you ever expect to control the most powerful universal energy which is known to mankind, which is you.
