Your energy: the gold sun

Everything has energy: plants, a home, a building, a street and each person you know. You have energy too, and the body works best when it is running on your own life force.

Begin by bringing awareness back from everyone and everything else. Notice the body, chair, feet, breath, head, face, arms and torso. Check where the body holds tension.

Then create a fresh grounding cord from the first chakra to the center of the earth. Make it playful and specific. Destroy the first version if it feels flat, and make one with more color, image or pleasure. A personalized cord works better because the body can recognize it.

Before filling with your energy, clear what is not yours. Use the grounding cord to send tension down into the earth. Move through shoulders, hips, legs, the entire back, the front of the body, the neck, head and face. Responsibility, anxiety and pressure can all drain through the cord.

Your own energy would not make you tense. If the body is carrying tension, treat it as energy that can be released and neutralized.

Then ground the first chakra itself.

1. Put attention on the first chakra at the base of the spine.
2. Let excess energy in that chakra release down the cord.
3. Let the chakra spin and become active.
4. Notice how the body responds.

With grounding set, create a different image: a beautiful gold sun a couple of feet above the head. It is filled with life force, but not generic life force. It is filled with your unique, specific, distinctive energy. The image should attract you and feel exciting to contact.

The gold sun is an energy-evoking device. It gives access to the life force that is yours.

Let the gold sun shine down like sunlight on a warm day. Sunlight does not require effort. In the same way, allow the gold energy to pour into the head, face, neck, shoulders, chest, back, belly, arms, hands, legs and feet.

The sequence is simple.

1. Keep the grounding cord below you.
2. Let gold energy shine through the head and face.
3. Let it move through the torso, arms and legs.
4. Fill all the way through the skin.
5. Notice whether your own energy feels familiar.

The gold sun replenishes the places that grounding cleared. Fill so abundantly that anything else still in the space has no room to stay and can ground out without effort.

When the body is full, notice what it feels like to run on your own energy. Check the grounding one more time. Blow up the sun image, because you can make it again whenever you need it, and rest attention on the body with your energy present.
