Are you 'too Yang' for your own good?

If I asked you how many times you'd been quiet and still (other than at bedtime) this week, what would you say?
Once?
Twice?
or twice a day?
The last answer would be the most beneficial of course, but the reality of life now is that it takes commitment to achieve pure quiet and stillness within twice a day.


Being completely 'active' all the time is a Yang thing. It leads to imbalance because we always need Yin to compliment Yang in order to achieve harmony and good health.
Yang means things that are loud, fast, hot, explosive, bright etc...like traffic at peak hour! and we all know how stressful that is...however you may not be aware that it has a lot to do with the positive ions (the electrical charge of an object) that are created by the movement of these big metallic cars, the electrical systems, lights etc, and that the cars are moving over a bitumen or ashphalt surface, which cuts off beneficial Earth Energy from rising to meet the Yang energy. So if you spend a lot of time in a vehicle, you are cut off from this beneficial frequency...

Earth Energy IS Yin Energy. It is the negative ions of our planet, and negative ions are very good for Humans! Yin Energy rises up to meet the Yang Energy descending from our Universe/Galaxy, and when they meet, they make another kind of Chi/Energy.

To truly benefit from 'quiet time' each day, you should attempt to sit on the ground outside, the grassy spot you love, or the rock that's comfortable. Stay barefoot (or just wear socks that can be washed if its cold) and sit on a folded up rug instead of anything rubbery that would effectually insulate you from the rising Earth Energy vibration.

Taking the time to contemplate or meditate outside brings relief from stress, pain and discomfort. And it doesn't matter if you can't sit up, just lay down on a cotton mat or jute rug, and splat for as long as you can :) Recent studies have shown that Earth Energy can alleviate inflammation caused by injuries and disease, and it can bring balance to the energetic systems of the body (our Meridians or Nadi) It can be used as a kind of 'energy maintenance', and the effects will resonate through your Life Experiences.

The Best Places to Be Quiet
On the grass in your backyard or a park nearby
At the beach (yes! you can do a barefoot walking meditation, of course!)
Near a running stream or waterfall
In a Salt Bath

 

The Quickest Way to Connect to Yin Earth Energy

Take you shoes off and stand on wet grass (at dawn is the best time for this, or just after rain)

Take a cold shower (the falling water has a negative ion charge)

Swim in the Ocean, or stream or waterfall

The effect of connecting to Earth Energy are many. It can alleviate pain, promote better sleep, improve 'bad skin' or irritability in Mind, Body and Spirit alike. Basically, we are designed to receive this Earth Energy, and without it we manifest a deficiency in the form of one ill-health or another....so do yourself a favour and get a fantastic 'dose' of free Earth Energy medicine :)
