For big decisions in life, like theater or law school, moving to New York or South Africa, and having kids or raising kittens, it’s important to follow our highest good. But, did you know it’s just as important to follow it for the smaller ones?
What do I mean? Is beating up ourselves over a past decision, withholding nutrients from our body because we don’t like the taste of veggies, stuffing down our emotions, or not finding time to meditate in our highest good? Sure, they could be. But odds are, they aren’t.
To rapidly increase our love energy levels we need to move in the direction of our highest good not just for the big stuff, but in four general areas. These areas are our four bodies. I understand this may be a new concept to chew on, but consider, not only do we have a physical body, but we also have a mental, emotional and spiritual one. Sounds intense, right? But these four bodies work together so we can experience this wild ride called life.
Our four bodies are how our love energy is delivered throughout our whole self. If our bodies are unhealthy or imbalanced, our love energy flow is diminished. Our bodies don’t stand alone. They can negatively and dramatically affect each other. For example, if we neglect our physical body by not getting enough sleep, our emotional body may suffer and we may feel irritable and anxious the next day. If we swallow our feelings and don’t process our emotions in a healthy way, we can develop health problems such as cancer or other diseases (here.) And if we ignore our spiritual body, we can lose sight of our divine purpose.
However, by moving in the direction of our highest good, we create healthy, balanced bodies and allow our love energy flow to be abundant, consistent and sustainable!
Now, let me introduce these awesomely distinct and important bodies! Each has its own characteristics and unique functions to facilitate human life in Earth School.
Mental body: This is the space where your thinking happens. A thought, can vary enormously. It can be positive and uplifting or limiting and harmful.
To increase your love energy:
- Think quality, positive thoughts.
- Know how and when to switch off your mind.
- Take time to learn new things.
Emotional body: This is where your feelings develop, bloom and pass through. Your emotions guide you to heal and set better boundaries or even alert you to danger.
To increase your love energy:
- Be aware of your feelings (even the subtle ones!)
- Free write in your journal when uncomfortable emotions arise.
- Consciously process emotional energy by moving your physical body.
Physical body: This is your actual body, you gorgeous thing, you! But remember, your body isn’t you. Your physical body is a vehicle that carries your soul and allows you to interact with the physical world. and move through Earth School. Because of your body, you can shake your booty, soak up the beauty of a sunset and give your loved ones giant bear hugs.
To increase your love energy:
- Appreciate your body.
- Eat what your body needs, not what you want.
- Lovingly care for your body when it hurts or you’re sick.
Spiritual body: Your spiritual body includes your intuition, the antenna to your soul. It stores everything that has ever happened to you throughout all space and time including accrued karma, soul contracts, negative external energies and ancestral energy.
Your spiritual body includes your intuition and stores everything that has ever happened to you throughout all time and space.
To increase your love energy:
- Listen to and act on your intuition
- Be creative.
- Express gratitude.
How well we care for our bodies directly relates to our love energy levels, inner peace and happiness. To banish the void forever, we need to generate our own love energy. We do this through self-love, or moving in the direction of our unique highest good for each body.
