Our physicality such as posture, degree of muscle tension and facial expressions have an impact on how we think, feel and act in a given moment. They can give an impression, correctly or incorrectly, to others which can impact how they interact with us and in turn how we feel. And even if we are alone, our physicality can impact our cognition; i.e. try thinking expansive, creative and positive thoughts with restrictive, limiting and negative posture and you’ll see it’s difficult!
Action: The energy ring technique is a simple visualisation used to reset or balance the body and mind. It can be done standing, sitting or lying- if standing you may wish to hold onto something solid for support. Allow your body to be loose and visualise a ring of a coloured energy that represents feelings of balance for you. Let it move through your body, from your feet all the way through to your head, and as it does just imagine that colour washing away any tension and bringing in those feelings you would like more of. Also gently relax the muscles at each point. Allow your breathing to relax when you reach your chest and finish relaxing your face with a big smile 🙂
