How to commence your PEP (Personal Energy Practice)
What is a personal energy practice? (or PEP, if you like Three Letter Acronyms!). From the frame of this blog it’s all about becoming aware of the energy you generate in the world as a physical, emotional, behaviourial and electromagnetically driven Human Energy Being (oh OK, then, HEB).
As a Human Energy Being, we drive immensely sophisticated, multi-faceted and multi-dimensional systems to move our energies in the directions we intend to go. In other words, we digest and burn food, breathe and process air, encounter moment-by-moment realities and make moment-by-moment decisions which result in specific energetic postures, whether conscious or unconscious. An energetic posture can also be understood as a ’state’ we find ourselves in, or an approach or direction we find ourselves taking - or intend ourselves to take - as the result of an external stimulus or an internal focus or response. So what does all this have to do with a Personal Energy Practice?
I contend that regular Practice enables a person to move towards conscious awareness of their own energy management, and ultimately (it is hoped) mastery of the same! This translates to becoming aware of our thoughts, actions, emotions and behaviours in a way that enables us to positively direct all of the above towards intended outcomes, instead of constantly finding ourselves in knee-jerk responses, unwanted and energy consuming unhelpful emotional states, and ineffective interactions with others that are no match for our goals. And yet again for others, a Personal Energy Practice may take them to that place where they can identify those goals simply through embracing their own awareness that they have not idea what those goals are yet and that they need to commence the journey!

So I would contend that the first step towards a Personal Energy Practice is to take time to become aware of the thoughts, emotions, actions and behaviours that no longer serve you, and notice where the energy goes.
