This sort of conversion experience is certainly nothing to fear. It's actually a wake-up call to start looking at how valuable life really is and how important a partyou play in it. Not everyone needs to save the world, foresee future problems and solutions, or heal thousands of sick and dying people. But everyone can do something to help improve, and thereby to help heal, the world that surrounds them. |

An important place to start healing is within yourself. Get in touch with how you're really feeling. Does your stomach hurt on days when you have an extra cup of coffee and two extra donuts? Then listen to what it's telling you. Do your eyes hurt in the morning after you've stayed up too late watching TV? Then get a grip on the remote control: Turn off the tube! Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed by too many feelings flooding through your mind at once? Then try taking regular time out to meditate or somehow get your feelings centered. You can start right now by taking one deep breath, and then another . . . . |

Getting in touch with your emotional state is a great place to start changing your life. If little things annoy you but you're not sure why, sit still in a quiet place and breathe deeply. When you think about the annoyances, try to isolate where the tension builds up in your body. That's a big hint about what types of issues are trouble spots for you. (Check out the table in Chapter 10 to see what body parts correspond to certain emotional issues.) So what do you do once you realize where your energy's getting stuck? Read on for some insight into how the body moves and directs energy, and how you can help get it moving too. |

In the previous chapter we talked about the vital life force as an energy that flows through everyone. When this energy is flowing smoothly, all is well. But when it's not, every aspect of your life can become out of balance. Understanding this energy and its flow is a big step toward creating balanced, harmonious lives. Many alternative healers, some of whom are called energy healers, work with this energy. Some can feel it (as a form of clairsentience) and others can even see it (as a form of clairvoyance). This field of energy that surrounds each living organism is referred to as an aura. |
