5 Steps to Physical and Energetic Health By Tierney McCarver, LMT


however the densest form of this energy appears to us as a physical body. Radiating out of this physical form are different levels of ener- gy bodies, and they too need proper care and treatment. It is proven that diet and exercise are essential for our physical bodies to thrive and function optimally. These same things also nourish our energetic bodies as well. The energy body, which is comprised of an inner and outer aura, chakras and meridian system, is a template for the physical body. Whether our energy bodies are in a healthy state or non-healthy state, the physical body will always match that pattern. A healthy energy body is big, bright and expansive, whereas, an unhealthy energy body is imbalanced with too much energy or not enough energy in various places of the body. Energy imbalances that create an unhealthy physical body come in the form of negative thoughts we have, stress- ful situations we encounter, being in places

that carry toxic energy or eating foods that hold congested or toxic energy. If we take care of ourselves energetically, we are also taking care of ourselves physically.


1. Exercise Not a big surprise that it is important to move our bodies through


exercise. The realization is that if we put our intention on balancing our energy fields first, then our physical body will stay healthy and free of disease whether it is a cold or flu, chronic illness, or aches and pain. Our energy bodies are equipped with a major chakra system that governs each organ and system in the body. We also have many minor chakras throughout the body that assist with taking care of our systems as well. Each chakra is like a spinning fan, whirling coun- terclockwise to get rid of excess energy and clockwise to bring in

hen it comes to taking caring of our health, most people think of caring for our physical body through a healthy diet and exercise. We are all made up of pure energy,


healthy energy. When we move our body through exercise or stretch- ing, this prompts the major and minor chakras to begin spinning around expelling unwanted energy. If we do not move our bodies, all of this unwanted energy gets stuck in our chakras, thereby creating energetic imbalances that manifest as disease in our physical body. In general, people report feeling more energized after a workout when they felt sluggish and tired prior. This is because their chakras expelled a lot of stagnant energy during their workout, freeing their system to allow fresh energy to come in and revitalize them.


2. Food


Whether our energy bodies are in a healthy state or non-healthy state, the physical body will always match that pattern.


A proper diet is necessary to cleanse our


bodies physically and energetically. Different foods hold either a low vibrational energy or a high vibrational energy. Choosing foods that have a high vibration, nourish and rejuvenate our physical and energetic bodies. High vibra- tional foods are those that come directly from the earth absent of chemicals and processing such as organic fruits, vegetables, nuts, and le- gumes. Low vibrational foods are those that are


heavily processed such as fried food, packaged food, canned goods, processed meats and dairy products.


3. Positive Thinking


Our thoughts, either positive or negative, become part of our energy field as they fill up our cocoon-like structure called an aura. This is the lens with which we see through. If our thoughts are mostly happy and positive than we will see the world that way and attract more joy and peace. If we are continuously thinking negatively about people, places, and things, than we will only see the world from an unfavorable view point. Negativity, worry, and stress carry harmful energy that creates imbalances in our energy body and chakras. If this type of energy remains consistent, then disease will manifest in the physical body whether a healthy diet and exercise program are in
