			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://claritywithlaurenlarsen.com/wp-content/uploads/Energy-Ball.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-551" title="Woman Doing Tai Chi" src="http://claritywithlaurenlarsen.com/wp-content/uploads/Energy-Ball-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a>Using Ki energy is my number 1 key ingredient to maintaining my health and healing others. Learning how to use Ki energy in your daily life will enable you to receive energy and use it to reflect on and correct the imbalances in your mind and remove negative thinking.  Training with Ki energy opens your energy blockages, removes toxins from your body and recharges you. This has the effect of healing your energy system, which activates your own natural healing power. This will also broaden your experience when participating in my full moon healing events.</p>
<p>Now more than ever people are spending more energy than they are able to receive. They are running an energy deficit that is affecting them physically, emotionally and spiritually. When the body starts to run low on energy it is unable to sustain its vital functions, the mind becomes very vulnerable to negative emotions, and the spirit cannot receive the light it needs to maintain its original brightness and starts to become dark. This is disease.</p>
<p>When we are born our energy channels are fully open, but as we grow older they become progressively blocked up, impairing the body’s energy circulation. This not only results in energy shortage and blockages but also disrupts the balance of the yin and yang energies.  Energy blockages are predominantly caused by negative thinking, feelings and emotions. When we are stressed, angry, worried, fearful or depressed, the energy flow in our bodies is disrupted, causing a shortage of energy, which is transmitted to every cell and organ. If our body is deprived of energy for too long, we eventually become ill. The energy circulation in our bodies is totally dependent on the state of our minds. When there is discord in the mind or environment the energy circulation is disrupted causing ill-health and unhappiness.</p>
<p><strong>So what is Ki?</strong></p>
<p>Western Science defines the power, which moves and changes matter as energy.</p>
<p>The East defines that power as Ki. It not only includes visible matter but also the invisible power to move and change that matter endlessly.</p>
<p>Einstein called this energy, “vibration field”. Field is another name for space. The space of the universe is the field of energy vibration. So, scientists say, matter is created when space is extremely compressed. Matter is nothing but energy vibration and all matter has its own particular frequency; this is proved by science.</p>
<p>Ki is the most fundamental element of all things in the universe. It is not only the most fundamental element of the visible and invisible world but also the fundamental power to form and change matter according to that matters character.</p>
<p>Ki and energy are similar in concept, but not quite the same. In the West, “energy” is understood to have a characteristic of quantity, but not necessarily quality. In the East, however, Ki takes on a variety of traits and qualities.</p>
<p>Because Ki holds within itself all information of the basic laws of life, from birth until death, it can be said that Ki holds the information of life. Ki is not only the fundamental material but also the energy that forms nature&#8217;s order and law.</p>
<p>For example take a brick. To make a brick we need clay (the substance), a rectangular mold (the shape) and fire (the power which heats the brick). A brick is made when these three components combine.</p>
<p>The properties of Ki involve the character of all these three components within itself &#8211; substance, rules of form and energy. In having this particular character, Ki is considered a super material which has a mind or super energy that holds the information of life.</p>
<p>So, all living entities exist as Ki and all life comes from the activity of Ki. To explain or guess at the fundamental workings of the universe without mentioning Ki would be impossible as all movement and existence within the universe comes from Ki. Furthermore, because Ki is the fundamental element of life, the law of creation and the creative power, Ki is the cause and result of all life and the beginning and end of the universe.</p>
<p><strong>Conditions for Feeling Ki</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Quiet Location: Practice in a quiet and peaceful place</li>
<li>Relaxation of the Mind and Body: Before practicing, relax our body and mind through simple exercises such as full body stretching and tapping, neck exercises, waist and upper body bends.</li>
<li>Mental concentration: Focus your mind on the part of the body where you want to feel Ki.</li>
<li>Feeling Honestly: Accept whatever sensation you feel. Do not classify or doubt any sensation you experience.</li>
<li>Devotion to Feeling: Accept and cultivate even very small sensations of energy. When you do this, those feelings will grow more intense and come into focus.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>The 5 Easy Steps to Activating Your Ki:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Warm-up Hand Exercises:</strong> Training for feeling Ki usually begins with the hands. The hands are the part of the body we use the most and they are also where we feel sensations with the greatest detail. Lightly shake both hands and wrists. Clap your hands and rub your palms together. Making fists open and close your hands repeatedly. Lifting your hands, rotate your wrists rapidly 30 to 50 times. After you do this, stop for a moment and then concentrate on the sensations you feel in your hands. Repeat these exercises several times and then hold your hands with your palms together and go to the next step.</p>
<p><strong>Strengthening Sensation in the Hands: </strong>Sitting in a comfortable position, place your palms together. Feel the sensation of body heat in your hands as they touch each other. Feel your pulse beating in your palms and fingers. A quiet, focused state of mind develops readily through this process. Maintain this state as you go to the next step.</p>
<p><strong>Moving the Hands Horizontally:</strong> Lift your hands so that your palms face each other and then move them apart so that there is a space of about five inches between them. Repeatedly move your palms closer together and then farther apart. You will feel what seems to be a magnetic force, as if something where pushing your hands apart or pulling them together. Sometimes you’ll feel pressure, heat heaviness, or a tingling sensation. All of these sensations are the result of energy. Once you feel this energy, spread your hands farther apart, increasing the distance between your palms. When you establish this sense for feeling Ki, you will be able to maintain the feeling of energy, even though the distance between your palms grows considerably.</p>
<p><strong>Moving the Hands Vertically:</strong> Position your hands so that your palms face each other, one over the other, with about two inches between them. Move one hand up as you move the other down and then switch directions. Feel the energy between your hands as you continue to do this. The sensation will vary greatly as your hands are drawn closer together and pulled farther apart.</p>
<p><strong>Making an Energy Ball</strong>: With your palms facing each other, hold your hands so that your ten fingers are spread naturally and are slightly bent, as if you are holding a ball. As you continue to focus on your hands, imagine that you are holding an unseen ball of energy between them. Move your hands slightly and feel that ball of energy. The energy between your hands will feel like a big ball of cotton or a balloon. This sensation will become even clearer as you continue to roll the energy around your hands.</p>
<p>It is Ki that helps us open the door of our hearts. In the course of feeling Ki, without even realizing it, we are freed from our thoughts and emotions, and enter into the world of the internal. This is where we encounter our True Self, which was hidden by our thoughts, emotions, ego, and attachments. </p>
<p>Continue your journey by attending my free monthly healing energy events. Incorporate this exercise for your most ultimate experience and most profound result. By taking this action you open the doors to your personal road map resulting in the growth, clarity, abundance and the peace you desire.</p>
<p>I will be hosting a Ki Activation and Energy Cleansing class located here in Las Vegas for anyone interested in a powerful hands-on experience. I will be posting updates, classes and events on my group page “Conscious Clarity Healing Energy” so be sure to join.</p>

It is a simple and effective form of meridian energy therapy. Some call it “emotional acupuncture” but without the needles. You may not have heard of it, and it looks weird. The good news is&#8230; it works!</p>
<p>We will be tapping with our fingertips on certain key natural comfort points on the body. While tapping, we will state a truth about how we feel along with a positive affirmation. I call this “The Power of Positive Tapping.”</p>
<p>We start by tapping on the karate chop point. I use the tips of all four fingers of my right hand to tap the outside of my left hand. Use the same pressure you would use if you were tapping on a table to make a drumming sound. Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap. If you have long fingernails, use the pads near the end of your fingers to tap.</p>
<p>Next, we move to the top of the head and then we&#8217;ll work down the body, making the points easy to remember.</p>
<p>Use the fingertips on one or both hands to tap the top of the head. Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap.</p>
<p>The eyebrow points are located at the beginning of the eyebrow, nearest the center of the face. I use the index and middle fingers together, on both hands, to tap the two eyebrow points. Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap.</p>
<p>The side of the eye points are located on the bone at the side of the eye. It&#8217;s not so close to the eye that it feels like you&#8217;re poking yourself, and not so far away that you are tapping at the temple. Using the index and middle fingers together, tap on both side of the eye points at the same time. Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap.</p>
<p>The under the eye points are on the bone located under the eye about even with the pupils. Using the fingertips of the index and middle fingers, gently tap this spot under both eyes. Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap.</p>
<p>Now tap under the nose with the index and middle finger of one hand. The spot is roughly midway between the bottom of the nose and the top of the lip. Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap.</p>
<p>The chin point is not really on the chin; it is mid-way between the bottom of the lower lip and the chin, in that indentation area. Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap.</p>
<p>The collarbone spots are located about one inch down and over towards the outside of where a man would tie his tie. I use four fingers together on each hand to tap the collarbone spots. Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap. An alternative is to pat both spots at the same time with the flat of one hand, with about the same pressure as you would pat a baby&#8217;s back to help it burp.</p>
<p>The under the arm point is located about 4 inches below the armpit. I lift my left arm and use the four fingers of my right hand to tap under my left arm. Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap.</p>
<p>Additional tip: I often find that returning to the top of the head helps the round feel complete. You can end repeated rounds at any point. You can start at the eyebrow or top of the head. You can leave out points, too. Remember that the energy system is connected; each point you tap resonates throughout the system. I also encourage you to learn to use your intuition early in your use of EFT.</p>
