finding current or more of it.(the power)

[running]

the feminine nature of the divine may have been forgotten by the masses. shakti. but she is alive and well.

two things work good for me.

1. the sky. weather with most reguard to moisture in the air.

2. music.

for me the current expands and deepens the expereince. maybe for others to.

if anybody desires feel free to share what works for you. your experience.

[Shivani Devi]

Is this the same as 'grounding techniques'?

1. Performing ablutions in the ocean...offering the water back to the source, which is part of the whole (and remembering that I am also).

2. Drumming - becoming one with the cosmic rhythm of life (and yeah, one day I'm going to get a damaru).

3. Belly Dancing - moving my hips and pelvis to align my body with the energetic flow from the core of the earth, to the core of myself and the heavens.

4. Aromatherapy - using different essential oils to change or improve my mood and at the moment, it is the essential oil of orange, for an energetic, yet balancing effect.

1. Tree hugging. Seriously. Nothing connects me to earth energy like tree hugging. It just works.

2. Exercise. Specifically bike riding. Nothing like enjoying nature with a little exertion to invigorate mind and soul.

3. Music. It works hand in hand with my work, motivating and energizing at the same time.

4. Creation. Creation to me is any personal expression that brings something into the world. My work is one. My participation here is another. My family is another. Etc..

Thanx for sharing kioma and shivani. and yeah. grounding defenetely. exercise and staying focused seemed to help me.

I think for me its when I'm relaxed. I've noticed recently there is a tension that's been ongoing and felt as normal, so normal that I wasn't aware the tension was there. Some call it resistance I guess and now if I consciously locate that tension and release it, let it go I can feel energy begin to flow right through me, its a feeling of being "topped up".

There are situations that have similar effect and like you running a "moody" atmosphere in nature does it for me every time...that still, humid type of weather among the trees and birds...magic.

Thanks for sharing Emm! my meditation practice is much about finding tensions and releasing them.

in doing so makes space for what was before tied up. many call those tensions obstructions. cause they are obstructing the flow of energy.

[quote=Kioma]1. Tree hugging. Seriously. Nothing connects me to earth energy like tree hugging. It just works. I love trees, a few days ago i laid my hand on a old beach tree, and got that burst of energy from the earth. It also thanked me for pay attention to it. Its crazy how much history a tree can hold.

I don't necessarily focus on feminine or masculine, more the balance as an overall focus.
Music works for me lots.

My own Shakti/energy when balanced keeps me grounded. So that means tending to my inner world to ensure balance.

Mother nature is a gift in lots of ways, but mainly the bush/ trees, forests, the earth and the air within that space, the ocean, mountains...Walking bare feet especially on mother earth helps me too.

thanks for sharing nature! your saying there is no predominant force between silence and current in your experience? i dont doubt you im just wondering if we are using the terms of feminine and masculine in the same way.

my girlfriend visits numerous trees when we hike. she gets something like you out of them i think. i do in a general sense. there is a feeling of their power around them i sense. in oneness it is like a catalyst for me. but you and her seem to have a more in depth connection than i expereince.
