Based on the work of Eileen McKusick: How To Raise Your Voltage Prioritize Restful Sleep (10:00 PM – 6:00 AM) The body's most important repair work happens when sleep aligns with the body's natural circadian rhythm. Sleeping from ~10:00 PM to ~6:00 AM to supports hormonal balance, cellular renewal, and emotional regulation. If we stay up too late and get that second wind, our cortisol spikes which reduces healing potential. Sleep and rest are the most powerful ways to recharge your battery. Also as Christ followers we are called to honor the Sabbath with rest. God modeled it for us. Work 6 days, rest on the 7th. It is the innate rhythm set in place by God. The Sabbath is not meant to be a burden, but a gift of sacred time set apart to grow closer to God. And guess what, it restores and 'recharges' our body, mind and soul! Earthing / Grounding Direct contact with the Earth restores balance to the body’s electromagnetic field. Walking outside barefoot for 20 minutes a day is most beneficial. Regular grounding practices significantly reduce systemic inflammation and support autonomic nervous system regulation. If you can't go for a walk sit in a chair with your feet directly on the ground. Rubber soles are an insulator, blocking the electromagnetic field, take them off whenever possible! Even better would be to lay fully on the ground with as much skin touching as possible. The earth is full of electrons available for us! Integrate Deep Breathing Intentional deep breathing enhances energetic flow while charging your battery. An extended exhale is also the quickest way to calm your nervous system and bring your body back into peace. Inhale for a count of 4 exhale a count of 6. Notice your body start to shift. Deep breathing also stimulates the lymphatic system (our drainage and detox system) through the pumping action of your diaphragm. The Art of Gracious Receiving When someone offers you a compliment, gratitude, or focused attention, they are giving you a gift of energy in the form of electrons. Don’t dismiss or brush off these compliments. Receiving with openness and gratitude honors the person who is giving and allows that positive energy to circulate rather than be blocked. Love, gratitude, and sincere attention function as 'energy currency', replenishing your own field with vital electrons. “Gracious receiving gives dignity to the act of giving.”  -Eileen Mckusick Consume Clean, Structured Water We need adequate hydration because water is involved in nearly every significant bodily function. Structured water is found to be more hydrating and energy efficient. You can easily make structured water by exposing it to the photons from sunlight or moonlight. You can add fresh fruits or herbs to your water. I love lemon and basil or mint. Herbal tea is a wonderful way to add minerals & nutrients to your water. John Stuart Reid suggests another way to create structured water is by filling a blender with clean drinking water, turn it on for 30 seconds to generate a spiraling vortex, which also oxygenates the water. Then gently warm the water in a pan to body temperature (approximately 98.6°F), being careful not to overheat. Transfer the water into a covered glass container and allow it to rest overnight. The next day, enjoy beautifully structured, energetically enhanced water to support hydration and vitality. ​Nourish the Body with Whole Foods Plain and simple: Eat Real Food. Whole, minimally processed foods provide the vital nutrients and life force necessary for cellular health and sustained vitality. Whenever possible, choose foods in their natural state, as God has so abundantly provided them. ​Allow Emotions to Pass Through Rather Than Suppressing Them. We are emotional beings by design. Our emotions aren't meant to punish or overwhelm us. Emotions let us know that something needs our attention and invite us to bring it to God so He can guide us back into alignment with His path for our life. The problem is we're not taught how to process emotions. Emotions are energy in motion meant to rise peak, drop off and be released. When an emotion arises, acknowledge it and observe it. Ask yourself, "What am I feeling?" Name it. "I am feeling..." God is not offended by your honesty. He wants a real relationship with you! Allow it. Embrace it. Notice where in your body you feel it? And ask yourself, "What is this emotion trying to teach me? Then surrender and release. Pray, journal, shake and roar! Speak your truth Speak truth from a heart of love. When your voice is held back or unheard, it can create emotional tension. But when you express yourself openly and respectfully, you create space for understanding and healing. Let laughter and tears come as they need to, both are natural and necessary. Your voice matters, and honoring it is a vital part of living fully and freely. ​Vocal Toning and Singing Vocal toning or singing stimulates the vagus nerve, reduces stress, and increase feelings of well-being. These vocal practices create internal resonance, stimulating the body through vibrational energy. Sound expressed through the voice generates energy from the inside out, enhancing vitality, emotional release, and cellular coherence. Regular vocal expression is a fun and powerful way to bring healing to both your energetic and physical well-being. Try sounding out the vowels and see where you feel them. A-E-I-O-U. Choose “Ahh” Over “Ugh” When faced with a choice, take a moment to check in with yourself.  If you feel a sense of “Ahh,” it it means you’re aligned, and the task will flow more easily.  On the other hand, if you feel “Ugh,” its a sign that it will be draining to your energy and require more effort. Trust your body, learn to listen to it, and do what it says!
