How to increase your spiritual energy?
There are many daily activities and techniques that can help increase your spiritual energy and achieve a state of emotional and physical well-being. Reconnecting with yourself and elevating your spirit improves your quality of life, reduces stress and anxiety, and promotes healthy social relationships.
But what routine should you adopt to develop your spiritual energy level , take care of your senses and emotions? HOZHO, creator of scented treatments with energetic principles for the home, explains how to balance your energy vibrations to live better.
#1 Understanding the concept of spiritual energy
Spiritual energy is a fundamental theory in many spiritualities. Particularly present in the cultures of the Asian continent, but also in America and Africa, spiritual energy is a pillar of vital and cosmic energy.
It is defined in China by ch'i , ki in Japan, prana or ojas in India. Intrinsically linked also to animist beliefs, spiritual energy is part of the vibratory flows that govern the laws of the Earth and the Universe. At the heart of these synergies are the primordial principles of balance and harmony . According to the theory of yin and yang , physical and spiritual well-being depends on the balance of vital energy flows.
In Navajo culture, Hozho encapsulates this thought. This awareness and respect for the natural and spiritual world leads the individual toward a higher beauty, a source of happiness and letting go . No distinction between the visible and the invisible is defined. The spirits of the ancestors, the forces of nature, the individual, and the group must form a harmony to live healthily.
Thus, illness, conflicts, emotional, psychological or physical disorder are the sign of an imbalance that distances one from Hozho. Understanding this metaphysical order means finding and taking one's rightful place in the cosmos, and also reaching a better level of vitality .
From these energy theories were born different practices such as reiki , meditation , relaxation and yoga . In all of them, we find a state of full awareness and gratitude towards ourselves, life and the loved ones around us.
#2 Purify your home
The stress and hectic pace of daily life affect our health, sleep, and quality of life. Sometimes, unexplained feelings of oppression overwhelm us and make our daily activities difficult. Headaches, fatigue, digestive problems... What if all of this was also linked to your home?
We too often forget that a living space is in constant interaction with its occupants. In energy therapies , we speak of energy flows, of course. Western medicine, on the other hand, focuses more on the effect of hormones, air saturation and pollution, the release of toxins, and the psychological impact of clutter. For us, the two coexist and feed off each other.
Cultivating your spiritual energy begins by taking the time to take care of your home and purify it. Creating a protective cocoon to feel good at home is essential to recharge your batteries. Sometimes, communication problems, insomnia, excess anger, nervousness and ruminations come from poor energy circulation . Airing out your living spaces, cleaning them and tidying them are simple actions that will help you let positive energies circulate .
According to feng shui theory , you should favor sunlight and natural materials so that energies can circulate easily. Certain essential oils are also powerful purifying, harmonizing and catalytic agents.
This is the case, for example, of Palo Santo, sandalwood, white sage , myrrh or patchouli. At Hozho, we have drawn from ancient wisdom unique and premium compounds intended to cleanse your home and increase its vibrational frequency. These energetic perfumes for the body and home are the result of excellent know-how and environmentally friendly production. Using them regularly will help you maintain a high vibrational rate and make your home welcoming.
Certain green plants are also effective, as a complement, in chasing away negative energies. Examples include bamboo, orchids, lilies, and aloe vera.
If you live with a partner or family, also consider the energy exchange between people. This can be beneficial or, conversely, negative depending on the nature of the vibrations. Rituals to harmonize your home are therefore essential throughout the year in order to maintain a healthy and sustainable energy flow , a source of inner peace.
#3 Take care of your lifestyle
“Mens sana in corpore sano,” a healthy mind in a healthy body, said the poet Juvenal in the 2nd century AD. But this fundamental concept is already present in Chinese and Indian medicine, more than 4,000 years ago.
In Ayurveda , the body and mind are approached through the prism of the elements with which they are inseparable. Each individual is governed by one or more doshas , a fundamental energy consisting, depending on the case, of a mixture of ether, air, fire, earth and water. If one of these forces takes over, the entire organism is disturbed. We must therefore adapt our lifestyle to harmonize these forces of the universe that govern and constitute us.
In traditional Chinese medicine , massage, diet, and physical exercises such as chi gong or tai chi chuan are prescribed. Breathing exercises, breath and movement control, and concentration are based on the principle of vital breath. Knowledge and mastery of this breath would allow one to achieve inner harmony, align one's senses with one's emotions, and connect one's metabolic functioning with metaphysical movement.
Western medicine , too, has long been based on Galenic and Hippocratic theories, which take into account temperament and the balance of humors. Today, exercise and a healthy diet are recommended to maintain good health and boost the production of happiness hormones.
Eating fresh, seasonal foods helps your body naturally protect itself from illness. Exercise also helps you learn to listen to your body and how it interacts with your mental activity. Just a few minutes of walking a day can have a positive effect on your vitality and emotional management .
#4 Practice positive activities
Certain activities are valuable meditative resources. They can help clarify one's thoughts and release tension . This is the case for walking in the fresh air, hiking in nature, but also activities that require a certain level of attention to detail, such as embroidery.
Others require self-control or bodily balance, such as yoga or dance. These forms of expression and creativity are all spaces dedicated to resting the mind. Practicing a creative activity, with no other objective than pleasure, is essential for raising one's vibrational rate , developing one's senses and experiencing positive emotions.
Pay attention to your personal comfort and indulge yourself. A voluptuous perfume, a cozy blanket, or your favorite playlist… Creating a comforting environment is a decisive factor in stimulating the positive energies necessary for your growth.
#5 Surround yourself with loved ones
Finally, enjoy spending time with the people who are important to you and be kind to those you meet. Numerous studies have demonstrated the benefits of social connections on morale, well-being, and cognitive health. Gratitude, listening, sharing, and communication reduce stress and promote fulfillment.
These contacts, practiced regularly, increase spiritual energy , which also benefits those around you. Energy flows between members of a family, groups of friends or communities are precious sources of spiritual and emotional elevation.
