How I Expand My Energetic Capacity

This week, I want to talk to you about my process for expanding my capacity to receive more. We all have upper limits and set points, with how much we think we're worthy of receiving in our family, at our age etc.

We have all these rules and programs that stop us receiving to full tilt because somewhere inside of us, there's a little voice that says, "In our family, we only earn this much" or "When you perimenopausal you can't have full health" or even "It gets harder to lose weight as you get older".

So in terms of expanding your energetic capacity, that means that you are literally opening up your ability to receive more, and you can apply it to absolutely anything.

We've talked in the past few weeks about how your nervous system can stunt your growth, how we can really get in our own way with our thoughts and beliefs if we don't catch them and work through them...and how there are blocks beneath the blocks.

It all ties in to a similar thing, which is that, underneath everything is our energy - how open we are to receiving or how closed off we are.

The more open to receiving we are, the more will flow to us and from us and everything goes in a cycle. Our energy is created to flow in a figure eight, meaning that everything flows in a cycle of expansion, and then contraction and then expansion again For example, at the moment, the snowdrops are out in bloom. Soon they'll die and wither away and then hibernate for a bit. Then, next spring, they'll come up.

In this kind of cycle, you contract and come come back to a point of stillness, and you move out of stillness and start to expand. It then plateaus for a while and then it starts to contract again, and goes into stillness. Just like an infinity knot, or a figure of 8.

As a side note, there will be more on this in coming weeks, because I actually have an entire coaching program coming around this, and I will be putting a waitlist out for that.

But I wanted to speak to you about this today because it's something that's really close to my heart, and I see it in so many people. To be honest, even today with myself at times. I catch myself and I think, "Okay, you're contracting, that means that there'll be a point of stillness. And at that point, you'll start to expand again.

Once you know that that cycle is there - expansion, contraction, stillness, expansion, contraction, stillness - you begin to trust. Just like the night comes after the day, you know that when you wake up in the morning, the sun's gonna be shining, right?

It's really important to be able to lean into trusting that as well. That after contraction, and that stillness point where it feels like nothing is happening, that you will start to expand again. It's a cycle, it's completely fine. I have a process that helps me move through this and back into upswing when needed. I place my hand over my heart, and take a slow deep belly breath. I imagined the figure of eight out in front of me and I think to myself, where am I, on that figure of eight? Where do I feel like I am? Am I in a point of stillness where nothing feels like it's working? Where everything feels like it is just in stasis? Or am I feeling like there is a sense that I'm still contracting, like things are getting worse

The point of stillness is where nothing's happening, no expansion or contraction, nothing positive, nothing particularly negative. It just is. Whereas, if you still feel like things are getting worse, you're likely on on the downward downward slope of contraction. Once you know where you are, you may be on the expansion side of things where things feel like they're expanding and growing and evolving and unfolding, so you just notice where you are.

Then you watch, imagine, or just think about it - where would you be on that infinity knot? Tap on your collarbones and just imagine allowing that point where you are to start to move gently forward, imagining any restrictions around you stopping you moving forward, melting away dissolving away into the earth.

Imagine New Life springing up all around you, like the first snowdrops. As you get the sense of new life around you, expansion, allow that feeling to fill up your body and as you breathe deeply, again, fill your body up right to the edges. Then, imagine pushing that energy out through your skin and in to your energy field around you, so that you not only have expansion within you, but you are bathed in it, cocooned in it. Keep pushing that energy out all around you - above, below, to the sides front to back - allow the expansion energy to expand from inside of you outwards, until you have filled like an egg shape or a cocoon shape around you.

If you want to take it further, while you're still tapping to release any resistance, you can imagine pushing that energy further out to fill the room that you're in. If it helps to take a deep breath while you do it, that's fine. Then, if you want to take it further still, imagine the energy filling the house that you're in or the place that you're in. Then imagine it pushing through the walls of that building and out for a mile around you, and so on and so forth.

You can do this until it covers the whole planet if you want to and when you've got a really good sense that you feel like your energy has moved into expansion again, then you can stop.

This simple thing helps to ramp up your energy from the inside. Then, just draw a criss cross on your front, or out in front of you. You can do it vertically, you can do it sideways, it doesn't matter. Just draw, draw it out in front of you in your energy field, a figure of eight a few times.

Take a nice deep breath and relax. That will get your energy running in the right way and you will feel clearer and more focused and grounded.

Okay, so you've expanded your energy, you've cocooned yourself in this expansive energy, you've got your energy running in the right direction. Now you just sit in that for a minute or two.

If you had your hands together in front of you, and you start to pull them apart, you will feel the amount that you feel you've expanded. Pull your hands back and just gauge how open to receive you feel you are right now. And there you are. And anytime you feel like you are in contraction or stillness, you can go through this exercise to expand your energetic capacity for anything you like. As you become more open to receive, more things will flow towards you with ease.

I'd love to know how this resonates for you, and if you feel this helps. If you would like more information and to be put on the waiting list about the coaching modality that I'm developing all around this, then please do let me know

I can't wait to see you next time!
