Smartphone, smart keys, smart cards — you wouldn’t leave home without them (assuming you’re leaving home at all these days). We live in a world of next-level products designed to help us live more efficiently and realize our goals more effectively. Why shouldn’t that extend to what we put in our bodies before a workout? If you’re trying to decide between an energy drink or a pre-workout formulation, it’s important to know which one is the smartest option. Is pre-workout the same as energy drinks? Let’s find out.

What’s the Difference Between Energy Drinks and Pre-Workouts?

The main difference between energy drinks and pre-workout supplements is their goals. Energy drinks are designed to give you a quick pick-me-up, while pre-workouts are specifically designed to make your workout more effective.

“Generally, both products will energize, but pre-workout [formulas] are more poised for endurance and extending time to fatigue,” says Katie Webb, an ACE-certified fitness trainer in New York City.

Pre-workout formulas, Webb adds, are not solely focused on stimulation from caffeine.

“For example, ingredients like beetroot in pre-workout powders are used to help with muscle endurance as they’re rich in nitrates (dilators of blood vessels), which help blood travel through the body more easily,” she says. “Cognitive ingredients like L-theanine (found in green tea) are also often included to provide a more alert focus.”

Which Should I Use Before I Work Out?

The answer to that question is like choosing a pair of sneakers to wear out of the house. A pair of slip-ons are a comfortable way to walk from point A to B. But if you’re going on a five-mile run, you’ll get better support from a pair of running shoes.

It makes sense that if you’re working out, you may want to consume the beverage that’s tailor-made for exercise, but let’s look at some specifics.

What Are the Benefits of Pre-Workout vs. Energy Drinks?

Pre-workout drinks are specifically designed to help maximize your workout.

For example, Beachbody Performance Energize includes:*

• Beta-alanine, which helps delay muscle burn and reduces fatigue.
• Low-dose caffeine to help improve reaction time and focus.
• Quercetin to help improve endurance and delay exercise-induced muscle fatigue.

When taken as directed, Energize pre-workout “contains about as much caffeine as you’d find in a cup of coffee,” says Trevor Thieme, CSCS, senior director of fitness and nutrition content at Beachbody. “Caffeine is one of the few well-researched performance-enhancing aids, but you don’t need it in high doses.”*

Another advantage of pre-workout formulations is their versatility — many are designed to be taken alone (mixed into a glass of water) or added to your favorite recipes for smoothies. If you’re looking for some tasty inspiration, try this pre-workout gummies recipe with Beachbody Performance Energize.

Energy drinks’ sole concern is amping you up.

To that end, they may include significantly more caffeine and sugar, which focus on energy — not muscle response — plus artificial colors and other chemicals.

Can You Use Energy Drinks for Workouts?

You can, but they may not be as effective.

The difference between a pre-workout and an energy drink is that a good pre-workout should have some nutritional value, meaning it has additional nutrients intended to power the workout, says Robert Herbst, a 19-time champion powerlifter and an official at the Rio Olympics. “It should not rely just on caffeine.”

According to the FDA, 400mg of caffeine is a safe daily limit for healthy adults. That’s about as much as four to five cups of coffee.

Many energy drinks contain significantly more caffeine, in addition to sugar, which means they can set you up for a quick energy spike but then can lead to a crash. Many pre-workouts are formulated to avoid that crash and contain ingredients to help you get the most out of your workouts.

“An energy drink usually just has caffeine and maybe sugar,” adds Herbst. “Some have B-complex vitamins, although those alone without a meal are basically useless. The key with both is that if they contain caffeine, you have to watch your total caffeine load for the day as you may have caffeine from other sources.”

Negative energies are harmful to our health—it can cause us stress, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. If you want to cultivate more positivity and good vibes in your life, consider using one or more ways to clear negative energy out of your body or home.

Signs you have bad energy in your home

If you feel sluggish, tired, or depressed after spending time at home, it could be because of negative energy building up in your space. Houses with positive energy feel fresh, relaxed, and vibrant. Negative energy makes people feel overwhelmed, smothered, and restless. People who live in houses with positive vibes feel good, happy and relaxed being there.

Clutter can cause energy to stagnate and negative energy to accumulate in your life. If you have a messy home, you’re probably attracting disorganized, messy, and chaotic energies to yourself. Notice how your feelings and energy changes after you arrive and leave your home. If you notice dramatic changes, then this is a sure sign there are some bad vibes in your home.

How to clear bad energy from your home

The first step is to cleanse your home by removing any objects that hold negative emotions, including old photographs, books, clothing, furniture, and anything else that might cause distress or depression. Next, use one of the below cleansing rituals to clear out bad energy from your home. Lastly, contemplate what you can add or change to welcome in more happy and healthy vibes into your home.

You can do cleansing rituals alone or with others. Some people prefer doing them alone because they don’t want to disturb anyone else. Others prefer doing them with friends or family members because it makes the experience more fun and relaxing. You can combine several of the below techniques for your cleansing ritual.

1. Clear out clutter
   Clutter is one of the biggest sources of stagnant energy and stress in our homes. Clutter makes a room feel unwelcoming and uncomfortable. Remove all unnecessary clutter from your house to allow light and warmth to enter and to encourage a fresh and relaxed state of mind. If it’s not obvious what should stay and what should go, take some time to think through your belongings. What items do you really love and use? What items do you only use once in a blue moon? Do you actually need them? Can they be replaced by something else or stored away? You can experiment on how your belongings contribute to the energy of your home by temporarily putting things in storage or moving items around.
2. Air everything out
   The easiest ways to clear negative energy from your home is by letting it all air out. Open your windows to let in fresh air, turn on fans to circulate the air, and crack open closet doors or drawers to release trapped energy. You may want to leave the house during this process and burn some incense or sage upon your return.
3. Burn incense
   Incense is a great way to clear out negative energies. Burning a stick or cone will release any bad vibes and toxic energy to leave your space feeling refreshed. Palo santo is a type of fragrant wood that’s native to South America and can be burned as an incense. It is believed to be a vigorous energy cleanser; just burn one end of a stick, blow it out and let the smoke spread through your room.
4. Do a simple smudging ritual
   The sage smudge ritual is a great way to clear out any negativity that might be lingering around your house. You can cleanse your room or entire home by burning a dried sage bundle. White Sage cleanses and purifies, and when burned properly, releases negative energies. Let the sage bundle burn for 10-20 seconds, and then blow it out. You place it on a fireproof surface like an abalone shell, a traditional vessel used among Native Americans.
5. Ring a bell or gong
   A quick and easy way to clear out bad energy is by ringing a bell or gong in your room. The sound will vibrate through your entire house to release any negativity. Tibetan singing bowls are especially nice to use for clearing out bad vibes and welcoming in positive influences.
6. Salt the corners of each room
   If you live in a house where the energy feels blocked, try sprinkling a small amount of salt in the corners of each room. This will draw out any bad vibes and cleanse the space. After a few days, sweep or wipe up the salt and throw it away, visualizing you tossing out the bad vibes. Alternatively, you can use one or more salt lamps to purify the air and space in your room.
7. Add houseplants 
   Healthy houseplants create an environment of calmness and peace. House plants have been used throughout history to keep homes healthy and happy, and tending to them increases feelings of well-being. They also help purify the air and make your home atmosphere more energized and vibrant. Try growing some indoor plants if you’re looking to add some life and nurturing vibes into your space.
8. Lighten up your space
   Living in a dark home can harbor feelings of depressed and anxious. Lighten up your living space by painting the walls a lighter color, and adding bright colors, art, and decorations. A brighter space helps bring happiness and joy back into your home.
9. Add mirrors
   Mirrors are frequently used in Feng Shui to direct and shift the energy flow in your home. Placing one or more mirrors strategically around your house can increase light, bringing brightness into your space, make the room feel lighter and more spacious, and creating a warm and cozy ambiance. Just make sure the mirror reflects something positive in your home.
10. Create a home altar
    Creating a home altar is a simple yet powerful way to bring positivity and devotion into your home. An altar should contain objects representative of prosperity, good luck, health, abundance, or protection. It is said that you should never put anything on your altar that you would not want to receive. Create a home altar with candles, crystals, incense, statues, pictures, books, flowers, and other items that represent what you desire in your life.
11. Light candles
    Candles have long been associated with both healing and spirituality. Candles can be lit to enhance your meditation or other spiritual practices. They can placed about your home to improve the overall ambiance and to fill your home with good energy. Remember to use only high quality candles—many inexpensive candles are made from paraffin wax and artificial scents which can contain harmful chemicals.
12. Place crystals
    Healing crystals are used by many people around the world to cleanse and protect their bodies, homes, and businesses. They are best used at the end of a purification practice. You can place a crystal anywhere in your home where you feel the need to remove negative energies or attract positive ones. Use protective gemstones such as Obsidian, Amethyst, Black Tourmaline, Tiger’s Eye, and Citrine to block harmful vibrations and clear negative energy.

Signs you have bad energy in your body

Negative energy can manifest from internal sources like stress, fear, anger, guilt, resentment, jealousy, and hatred. If you are experiencing negative emotions or you feel tired, sluggish, depressed, anxious, or generally out of sorts, these symptoms could be because your energy is blocked. Try some of these tips to clear the blockages and start feeling better again!

How to clear unhealthy energy from your body and mind

Clearing negative energy from your body, mind and aura is one of the most important things you can do to improve your health and wellbeing. There are several easy methods to clear negative energies from your body and aura can allow you to restore balance, eliminate excess toxins, and clear out negative feelings.

1. Take a bath
   A warm bath can be used to release tension, stress, and negativity. The heat will relax muscles and ease pain. The water will make you feel physically clean and refreshed. If you feel especially stressed and overwhelmed, try adding Epsom salts or essential oils to the water.
2. Use essential oils
   Essential oils are extremely powerful tools to promote meditative states as well as health and wellness. There are a number of essential oils that can be used to promote positive energy. Lavender oil has been studied extensively for its ability to calm the nervous system and reduce anxiety. Peppermint oil promotes mental clarity and creates a sense of wellbeing. Lemon oil works to uplift the spirits and promote motivation. Orange essential oil is known to boost energy and improve mood. Rosemary oil promotes happiness and helps to purify, energize, and protect. You could also choose cedarwood, clary sage, juniper berry, cypress, chamomile, or any other oil that helps to lift your mood and clear out negativity. Try mixing one drop of each oil in equal parts of carrier oil (coconut, olive, jojoba) and apply over pulse points or chakra centers to help bring positivity and good vibes to the body and mind.
3. Spend time in nature
   Spending time in nature helps us feel grounded and calm, which in turn makes it easier to relax and let go of stress. If you live near a park or forest, take a walk every day to soak up the positive energies of nature. Alternatively, you can find some place in your yard or nearby where you can sit outside and enjoy the scenery.
4. Cleanse your aura using visualization
   The aura is energetic field around our physical bodies and represents how we perceive ourselves to the universe. It may be affected by past relationships, habits, or lifestyles. Aura cleansing is a great way to clear negative energy from your body, mind, and spirit. While cleansing your aura doesn’t guarantee that you won’t experience future problems, it can provide a boost to your self-esteem. To cleanse your aura, sit quietly and focus on your breath. As you breathe in, visualize white light filling every part of your entire body. Visualize this light as pure, peaceful energy that fills every inch of space surrounding you. As you exhale, imagine black smoke leaving your body and energy field. Visualize the smoke flowing and dissolving into the earth or into the sky. Visualize this white light flowing through every cell until you feel completely cleansed. Repeat this exercise until you feel lighter inside.
5. Meditation
   Meditating helps us connect to our inner wisdom and intuition. It can also help us release stress and anxiety, which in turn can improve our mood and outlook. A regular practice allows us to detach ourselves from our external stressors and negativity. When you meditate, you learn to become still and open your heart to new opportunities and insights. Mantra meditation is a powerful tool to help cleanse and revitalize energy and clear out energetic blocks in the chakras.
6. Abhaya Mudra
   Mudras are hand gestures that can change the energy flow of the body and create spiritual awareness. The Abhaya Mudra is one of the most powerful tools in yoga to make you feel protected and safe. You should practice this mudra whenever you need to feel strong and confident. This mudra is used to protect yourself from harm and bad luck. It also helps to calm the nervous system to reduce stress and anxiety. To do this mudra, simply bring your right hand up to shoulder height with palm open and facing forwards.
7. Move your body
   Exercise releases endorphins into your system, which makes you feel happier and calmer. It also helps release stress hormones out of your body, leaving you feeling relaxed and energized. Walking is a wonderful low impact exercise that helps people clear negative thoughts and emotions. Yoga is a great workout to release stress, tension, and negativity. It also increases flexibility, strengthens your core muscles, and promotes health and overall wellness.
8. Smile often
   Smiling releases endorphins into your system, which makes you feel happier and dispels negative thoughts and feelings. Smiling is a quick and easy way to improve our mood and reduces stress. A quick and easy way to practice is by looking at yourself in the mirror and saying, “I love you” out loud.
9. Take deep breaths
   Take deep breaths throughout the day. Breathing deeply helps you relax, calm down, concentrate and focus. When you breathe deeply, oxygen enters your bloodstream and helps clear negative energy from your body. Mindful breathing exercises, as used in yoga and meditation, can also help clear negative thoughts and boost your energy and mood. Kapalabhati Pranayama is a powerful cleansing technique that builds heat or agni in the body, eliminates congestion, and stimulates digestion and circulation.
10. Eat well
    Eating right keeps your body energized and your mind focused. Eating foods that are good for you, especially dark green leafy vegetables, can help clear and purify negative energy from the body. Avoid excessive animal protein, processed food, refined sugar, alcohol, caffeine, and fried foods. Instead, focus on eating more fruits and vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and beans.
11. Practice gratitude
    Gratitude is an attitude that allows you to surround yourself with a shield of positivity. Practicing gratitude can help you stay grounded and peaceful when encountering negativity or experiencing challenges in life. When you are grateful for what you have, you will attract more positive energy into your life.
12. Practice kindness
    Doing kind things for yourself or others can shift your negative feelings into positive ones. Helping others brings about happiness within ourselves; we naturally feel better when you do kind actions. Do small acts of kindness like give compliments, hold doors open, smile at strangers, write notes for friends, give hugs, and treat yourself to a massage or manicure!

Find what works for you

It’s important to take the time to reflect after each session. Many people recommend to cleanse and purify both their homes and bodies at the same time. If you’re new to cleansing, start slowly, experiment, and build up your routine over time. Remember to keep track of how you feel before and after each session. Try to ask yourself questions such as “How do I feel after the cleansing?” or “What part of the purification process did I enjoy the best?” By doing this, you’ll be able to see if there are certain aspects of the process that you prefer to remove unwanted energy from your body and home.

The post 24 Ways to Clear Negative Energy From Your Body and Home • Healyourhealthyourself appeared first on Heal your health yourself.

Are you struggling with low energy or fatigue? With today’s busy schedules, many people experience a nagging feeling that a cup of coffee just won’t fix. Your energy is the fuel that keeps you going through your day. Without the right energy, you will find yourself lacking concentration and focus and can experience depression.

Chronic fatigue isn’t something that can be repaired with just a good night’s sleep. In many cases, it will require changes to your lifestyle to beat your fatigue. While there are different causes of fatigue, the result is a dramatic lack of energy that can interfere with your quality of life.

Some people find relief from their fatigue and lack of energy by experimenting with essential oils. Different scents have physical and psychological effects on the body that can help change the mood and increase your energy. Let’s take a closer look at a few essential oils that are known to boost your energy.

Causes Of Fatigue

There are many different factors that could be contributing to your constant feeling fatigued. Depending on your lifestyle, age, diet, and level of regular exercise, fatigue can be mild to debilitating. For women that are menopausal, the change in hormones can create a tired feeling and a lack of energy.

If you aren’t getting enough sleep on a regular basis, you could be feeling fatigued. A lack of sleep can lead to moodiness, a lack of concentration, and feelings of depression. For those that are experiencing long-term illnesses or chronic pain, fatigue is a common condition. Some of the signs of fatigue include:

• Feeling lethargic
• Lack of motivation
• Lack of concentration
• Loss of appetite
• Depression
• Irritability

How Essential Oils Work

Essential oils are derived from plants and flowers that are reduced down to oil through boiling, crushing, or distillation. Essential oils contain tiny molecules that are very effective at penetrating the skin and where they can enter the bloodstream. Essential oils work by changing the chemical impulses that are sent through the body. Many users choose to inhale essential oils where the scent enters the body through the nose and is distributed through the body and bloodstream. Our sense of smell can be evocative and can help to change your body physically and psychologically.

Essential Oils For Energy

Peppermint

The fresh and invigorating scent of peppermint is the perfect oil to get you going in the morning. The refreshing scent is so powerful that you should only take it in the morning as it has the potential to keep you awake when you are ready for bed.

Basil

The scent of basil can help to clear your mind and increase the power of concentration. Basil can help you lift your mental fog and give you a powerful energy boost when you are starting to fade in the afternoons.

Ginger

The tangy aroma of ginger can help to lift your mood when you are feeling sluggish and fatigued. If you are using an essential ginger oil topically, be careful in the sun as it is phototoxic and can cause you to burn.

Myrrh

Myrrh has a unique, invigorating effect that can help you when you are feeling lethargic and sleepy. Myrrh has a powerful oil and should be used sparingly.

Lemon

The scent of citrus helps to lift your mood and gives you more energy instantly. Lemon can also give your immune system a boost.

The best way to use essential oils to give you a boost of energy is through inhalation. Get yourself an oil burner or diffuser to fill your room with the scents that will help you beat your fatigue.

Real masculinity isn’t toxic any more than real femininity is.

And it’s not about male vs. female.

You won’t necessarily find more feminine energy in a woman than in the man standing next to her. 

The same goes for masculine energy.

It’s not about being  “buff” or cocky or louder than the rest. 

If you’re asking, “how do I tap into my masculine energy?” (because you do have it), this post is for you.

What Is Masculine Energy? 

Masculine energy isn’t about being a man. Women also can have masculine energy. It has to do with the male characteristics that we all can access.

It might help to describe what comes to mind with the words “masculine energy.”

Think of the dualism of the Yin and Yang in Chinese philosophy.

Yin is the symbol of femaleness, and Yang is the symbol of maleness. These energy forces can be complementary and interconnected. 

Masculine energy is an ideal that’s challenging but still possible for imperfect beings and includes these qualities:

• Powerful Presence 
• Undaunted Ambition 
• Clarity of Focus
• Generosity of Heart 
• Largeness of Mind
• Strength of Body and Resolve
• Fiercely Protective Instinct

Masculine energy is present in all of us and is dominant in some. It’s a very real, very human thing you can choose to develop in yourself.  

What’s the Difference Between Masculine vs. Feminine Energy? 

To describe masculine energy, we use adjectives like self-assured, goal-focused, driven, protective, and giving  —  as well as nouns like hero, champion, alpha, and father. 

To describe feminine energy, we use adjectives like heart-centered, fluid, creative, nurturing, and receptive — as well as nouns like goddess, queen, and mother. 

Neither is superior; both are necessary. And each is attracted irresistibly to the other.

The divine masculine and feminine are the fullest possible expressions of both, so they show the differences between the two that much more clearly. 

Divine masculine energy — or, if you prefer, sacred masculine (or feminine) energy — may be based on archetypes. Still, these archetypes serve as reminders of how powerful and timeless these energies are. 

5 Masculine Energy Traits with Masculine Energy Examples 

Imagine yourself exhibiting the traits listed below. Really get into it. You can picture yourself in one or both of the examples given for each. 

1. Assertiveness / Boldness 

Assertiveness is about standing up for yourself or someone else. It’s also about not hanging back when you know you have an idea worth considering. 

Assertive people put themselves forward and speak up when necessary. It’s not that they think their voice matters more than other people’s; it’s just that they know it matters. And they’re among the first to encourage others to speak up and be heard, too. 

Example #1: Speaking up to advocate for someone you care about, even at the risk of being punished for it. 

Example #2:  Setting and enforcing clear personal boundaries with others and defending those of others when necessary—not to trample on their agency but to have their backs. 

2. Confidence / Self-Assurance 

Authentic confidence is a hallmark of masculine energy. They may not have all the skills they need to apply to a particular job, but they don’t let that stop them if that’s the job they want. 

She trusts her ability to learn what she needs to learn quickly and well and do the job better than most. It’s not the same as arrogance; she doesn’t feel any need to criticize or disparage others to get an advantage over them. 

Neither does she see any benefit to doubting or downplaying her qualifications. 

She may not be the most qualified applicant (yet), but as far as you know, she believes she is. And often enough, that gives her an edge. 

Example #1: Putting yourself forward as a qualified candidate for a particular job even you don’t have all the qualifications listed on the job description. You know you’ve got it. 

Example #2: Approaching someone you’re attracted to at the risk of being shot down because you want to know whether the attraction is mutual (and justified). Confidence doesn’t leave room for false humility, either — or for nervous hesitancy. 

3. Logic / Objectivity 

A reasonable man or woman doesn’t use logic to appear more rational than those around them.

They appreciate logic and objectivity for their own sake. They don’t assume that they’ll always be the more reasonable one, either — though they make an effort to govern their thoughts. 

Those who exhibit more feminine traits are more likely to try a bit too hard to appear more reasonable and take a condescending attitude toward anyone who doesn’t see them that way. Those with more developed masculine traits don’t have to. 

Example #1: You care about well-constructed arguments and clear, rational thinking, but you don’t beat others over the head with it. You use logic as a tool, never as a weapon. 

Example #2: When you learn better, you’re not afraid to admit you’ve made a mistake in your thinking. You see humility as essential to growth and continued learning. So you’d rather fail at something, own your mistakes, and learn from them than hang back in fear of being seen as a failure. 

4. Risk-taking / Action-taking 

Someone who has dialed up their masculine energy tends to take more risks, either to get closer to a goal or just to get out of their comfort zone and try something new. They’re more likely, for example, to go sky-diving or to start a business of their own. 

They’re action-takers. While they might sometimes catch themselves overthinking, they pull themselves out of it by focusing on the essentials and forging ahead. 

As for the risks involved, they’ve learned not to get too attached to a specific outcome. At the very least, they know they’ll learn something from it. And learning is the point. 

Example #1:  Stepping out of your comfort zone to do something other people see as crazy or risky, simply because you see value in taking a calculated risk and learning from it, whatever happens. 

Example #2:  Putting your ego on the line to reach out to someone, knowing they might react unkindly. You don’t let the unkindness of a few dictate what you’re willing to do for others. And you don’t do it for thanks or praise. You do it because it’s worth doing. 

5. Disciplined / Structured / Self-Controlled

A disciplined person will subject their body to discomfort for a greater good, depriving it to some degree of something it likes (food, extra sleep, etc.) to gain something they value more.

They’re also careful not to overdo the deprivation and endanger their well-being. 

As a result, disciplined people tend to have better physical health (though other factors can influence both). They’re also more likely to have daily routines that help improve their energy levels and productivity. 

Self-discipline is essential to the development and expression of masculine energy. It’s not about being ripped; it’s about self-control, which is about more than food, money, or sex. 

Example #1:  Getting up at the first sound of your alarm, launching into your wake-up routine, and getting out the door on time for work or other commitments. 

Example #2:  Outlining a plan to reach a goal of yours, breaking it down into steps, and taking daily action to make progress.

Have you lost touch with your feminine power?

What comes to mind when you read the words “feminine energy”?

Is that even a thing? 

Whatever your beliefs regarding gender identity and how it develops and manifests, knowing key feminine energy characteristics can help you make sense of who you are and what makes you feel most authentically you. 

Honor that energy, and it can bring back something you’ve lost — or forgotten. 

What Is Feminine Energy? 

Being feminine isn’t about having makeovers and playing with dolls, though both can be part of how you explore and express your own feminine energy.

One person’s feminine energy may manifest very differently from another’s. 

Both are valid. And they’re not as different as they might seem. Being feminine is about exploring and honoring the traits that make holistic feminism so powerful. 

Let’s start by identifying those traits. Then we’ll dive into the best ways to bring them out of hiding. 

How To Tap Into Your Feminine Energy 

Femininity doesn’t look the same for everyone, which is why the only authentic feminism is a holistic one that embraces a diversity of backgrounds, identities, and perspectives. 

Let’s start with some examples of feminine energy traits. What comes to mind when you read each one? 

• Soft or Gentle
• Empathetic
• Flowing 
• Nurturing 
• Warm 
• Vulnerable 
• Receptive 

How do these traits compare to those you’ve cultivated over the years, either because someone you admire modeled them for you or because you felt you had to be that way?

Or maybe the word “feminine” feels alien to you, possibly because you’ve received the message that it’s somehow “less than” being masculine. 

Whatever your background, if you identify as a woman or as the more feminine presence in a relationship, you’ll want to explore the power of sexual polarity.

How can you dial your feminine traits up or down to meet the needs of the moment? 

How to Radiate and Exude Feminine Energy Traits with These 7 Tips 

Read through the following tips carefully and think about how you can implement each one. Make a note of the points and ideas that resonate with you. 

1. Dance. 

Femininity is about flow, and movement is what allows the expression of that flow. Try looking into different dance styles to see which ones appeal to you. 

You can dance along with an online video or take a local class to learn some new moves and tone up your dancer’s body.

Do this alone or with a friend–or with your partner. What’s important is that you allow yourself to let loose and enjoy it. 

Note: There is no such thing as a single ideal look for a dancer; your dancer’s body shape is your own.

And rather than spend an obscene amount on designer spandex dancewear, find something that flows with you and lets your body breathe. 

2. Create. 

Get creative and build something. Think about creative work you enjoy, whether that’s writing, knitting or crocheting, needlework, painting, or something totally different. The main thing is that you’re creating something. 

Make time in your daily or weekly schedule to create something that puts a smile on your face—maybe a new scarf using a butter-soft novelty yarn in your favorite colors. 

Make something for yourself and enjoy wearing it. Or create something you’ll enjoy sharing with others as gifts. 

3. Recreate. 

Give yourself the time and space you need just to enjoy the present moment. 

This time could be a day devoted to self-care or a day you set aside for exploring your neighborhood or going on a picnic hike. Just remember to savor it. 

A mindfulness practice helps you make the most of your time in nature—alone or with a favorite person. Anything you do mindfully, you’re more likely to enjoy and remember—with or without the selfies. 

4. Connect. 

Connecting with other people is one way to invoke your feminine instinct for nurturing others and building mutually supportive relationships. 

For some, a deep emotional connection is necessary to feel sexual attraction; when the former is missing, the latter is, too. That said, an emotional connection can only go so far; sexual polarity also plays a role. 

It’s also vital that you make time to connect with your body, which leads us to the next topic.

5. Nurture. 

Indulge your senses and spend some time putting your physical and mental, emotional, and spiritual needs front and center. When you’re running on empty, it’s much harder to empathize with others or be fully present for them. 

And forget about being vulnerable; if you feel like an exposed nerve, the last thing you want is to leave yourself open to an attack. 

If you’re used to being the one who sets aside her own needs to meet someone else’s, the idea of being “made to nurture” might leave a bad taste. Once you decide you have as much right to that as anyone else, you’re better able to nurture others, too. 

6. Accessorize 

Accessorizing isn’t as petty or frivolous as it might sound. Something as simple as a colorful scarf or earrings that sparkle or a skirt that swishes when you walk can make you feel more like the person you are and want to be. 

Who cares if you’re the only one you know who would wear striped tights or dangly TARDIS earrings in public? Wearing what you like( and what makes you feel like you) is more badass than any tailored power suit (unless that’s your thing). 

If it makes you smile, make room for it. 

7. Receive. 

Being receptive is not the same thing as being passive, much less inert.  Think of how you feel when you’ve put time and creative energy into a gift or surprise for someone you love, and they refuse to accept it. 

Compare that to how you feel when your intended recipient accepts it with genuine, heartfelt gratitude. We’re not saying you should only give things to those whose reactions make you feel good; this is just to prove a point: Receiving is powerful. 

That said, being the receiver also makes you more vulnerable. And if you’ve gotten used to thinking, “I can’t afford to be expensive,” it takes more of an effort to allow yourself to receive. 

Signs of Blocked Feminine Energy 

If your feminine energy is blocked, don’t worry. Following the steps listed above can remove those blocks and set you free. 

The best way to identify those blocks is to look at yourself and see if you identify more masculine energy signs than feminine ones. Think of the words you might use to describe yourself and ask if any of the following make the list: 

• Driven
• Goal-oriented 
• Logical
• Laser-focused
• Structured 
• Aggressive
• Giving 
• Protective
• Hyper-productive or Busy

None of these are inherently bad or good, but you can take each to an unhealthy extreme. And when you’re trying to be more like a man to fit in or get ahead, you’re more likely to overdo it. 

The good news? It’s not too late to dial up the feminine energy and reclaim your power. 

Conclusion

Now that you’ve looked through all seven tips for unleashing the feminine energy, which ones stood out for you? And what will you do differently today?

The post 7 Ways To Radiate Feminine Energy Traits appeared first on Heal your health yourself.

Establishing a morning breathing practice is a quick and potent way to boost your health and prepare for a successful day. They’re easy enough to fit into your daily routine and they can help you wake up feeling energized and ready to take on the world! You can practice these just about anywhere at anytime—in your bed upon waking, or sitting in your car right before or after your commute. By adding a few minutes of pranayama to your morning routine, you can feel refreshed, rejuvenated, and energized to tackle whatever comes and you’ll get more done throughout the day. The first step is to choose which of these six techniques works best for you.

What is a morning breathing practice?

Morning breathing is a mindful and conscious practice of one or more breath based exercises for a few minutes in the morning. These are usually practiced in a seated position, but you can practice them lying in bed or standing. The goal of adding some deep breathing exercises to your morning routine is to give you a boost of energy, focus, and calm for your day ahead.

Benefits of morning breathing exercises

We can summarize the importance of morning breathing practice in one word: awareness. When we are aware of the present moment, our mind and body become more relaxed and balanced. We feel better throughout the day because we have started out the day with a few minutes to calm and center the mind and emotions. This helps us to stay focused on what’s important rather than being distracted by things that don’t matter. It also allows for greater clarity when deciding about how best to spend your time.

Pranayama uses unique patterns of breath to bring about several physical and mental health benefits, such as increased oxygen and blood flow, reduced blood pressure, improved lung capacity, better concentration, and greater calmness. When you practice mindful breathing, your attention shifts to the present moment. This is a powerful way to reduce stress and worry, as you are not thinking about the past or future or what you should do next. Just a few mindful and slow deep breaths in the morning can boost your physical, mental, and spiritual well-being and help prep you for a fantastic day.

Chest breathing vs. diaphragmatic breathing

Chest breathing and shallow breathing often contribute to anxiety and stress in the body. When we are nervous or anxious, our heart rate increases, blood pumps more quickly through the arteries, and oxygen levels decrease. This causes us to breathe faster than normal and take shorter breaths. This can create shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, nausea, headaches, and muscle tension. You’re more likely to breathe from your chest during stressful times, especially if you’ve been feeling stressed lately. If this happens often enough, it may lead to panic attacks.

Morning breathing exercises are a great way to increase your awareness of unhealthy chest breathing and shallow breathing patterns. Once aware, you can consciously shift to a diaphragmatic breathing pattern to calm down the nervous system, focus your mind, and center your emotions.

By practicing diaphragmatic breathing before going into work, you’ll find yourself feeling calmer and less stressed. If you do this every morning, you may notice that you experience fewer episodes of panic attacks, anxiety and/or depression. With consistent practice, you can make diaphragmatic breathing your default pattern.

How long should a morning breathing practice last?

If you are new to pranayama, it is recommended that you start with 2-5 minutes of belly breathing. After you have been practicing yoga and breathwork for some time and feel comfortable with the practices, then try increasing your practice to 10 or 15 minutes. You can always increase the duration of your session as needed. You may be able to get by with shorter periods of time if you are feeling enough of the benefits to get you through the day with peace and calm.

7 Morning Breathing Exercises

There are several deep breathing techniques to choose from that you can use to help correct your breathing and improve your morning routine. Each technique has a different energetic and physical effects, so experiment and find the one that works best for your needs.

1. Diaphragmatic Breath

The diaphragmatic breath is the foundational breathing exercise for beginners to learn and practice. Also known as belly breathing, as the belly will rise and fall while the chest remains still when taking slow deep breaths. This meditative abdominal breathing exercise reduces stress, promotes relaxation, and increases lung capacity and efficiency.

2. Three-Part Breath

Perfect for beginners, the three-part breathing method is traditionally known as Dirga Pranayama and builds on the diaphragmatic breath. It’s considered one of the most calming breathing techniques as it allows you to clear your mind by focusing all of your attention on how your breath moves through the abdomen and chest. Many people believe is possible to relieve chronic stress and prevent panic attacks with the regular practice of this breathing technique.

3. Box or Square Breath

A more advanced counting ratio method combining diaphragmatic breathing and breath retention is Sama Vritti Pranayama. It is known as square, equal, or Box breathing as it uses a 4-4-4-4 ratio. This pranayama practice equalizes, harmonizes and balances the prana flowing through the body’s nadis or energy channels. This four-part breathing technique is primarily practiced for calming and balancing the mind and body to reduce mental stress and worry. Sama Vritti can also help slow down the heart rate, increase oxygen to the brain, and reduce anxiety.

4. Alternate Nostril Breath

Nadi Sodhana Pranayama or alternate nostril breathing uses your fingers to close one nostril and breath out the other. Alternate nostril breathing is calming and balancing and settles the mind, body, and emotions. This practice is especially good for calming excessive worry and reducing stress and anxiety.

5. Ocean Sounding Breath

During Ujayi Pranayama you constrict the back of the throat to create the sound of the Ocean or make a “Darth Vader” voice. This naturally slows down the breath, which calms the nervous system. It is also warming and energizing to the body. The practice is done slowly and deeply, without any strain. Ujjayi breathing helps release feelings of irritation and frustration, and boosts a sense of presence and self-awareness.

6. Skull Shining Breath

Khapalabati Pranayama is considered an advanced technique that is performed by quickly exhaling through the nose. It is a strongly energizing technique, so it’s a great addition to your morning routine. It is traditionally practiced to purify and cleanse the brain and mind and to increase lung strength. It is also known as the breath of fire, as it is warming to the body. When performing this technique, focus on the sensation of lightness created within the head and upper chest.

7. Chanting Breath

Chanting breathing is a simple yet effective way to calm yourself when stressed. In Udgeeth Pranayama, you simply chant the “Om” mantra with slow belly breaths. This pranayama helps strengthen mental concentration and focus and also helps reduce negative thoughts and emotions.

Morning Breathing Tips

• Make sure you are seated in a comfortable position for the practice.
• If you feel dizzy or experience any discomfort, stop and sit quietly until you feel better.
• Don’t force anything; take things at your own pace and ability.
• Try to keep your eyes closed during pranayama.
• Focus only on your breath moving into and out of your lungs.
• Make sure you have enough sleep. Even the most energizing pranayama cannot compensate for sleep deprivation.
• If you are new to pranayama, start small. Start with 2-5 minutes and then slowly and gradually work up to 10–15 minutes per session.
• For the best results, combine your pranayama practice with a morning yoga session.
• Be patient. You should notice some results after a few days, but it could take you weeks, months, or even years before you see progress. The most important thing is to keep practicing on a daily basis.
• If you’re new to pranayama and have a medical condition, please consult your doctor before starting.

How to choose the right breathing technique for you

There are so many types of breathing techniques that are available, making it difficult to know which are the best. With pranayama, there is no one right technique that will work for everyone. Various breathing techniques have different benefits and can help you achieve different things. First, take some time to get clear on what benefits you want from your practice. Next, start with the breathing technique that aligns best with your goals and feels the most natural for you. Note how each exercise makes you feel mentally, physically, and emotionally. Use a journal or other means to track which techniques have the strongest effect on your energy and mood. Experiment and make adjustments as needed.
