Dear Romona,

I have been thinking about your question alot lately.

My cousin Vinny....Uh, yes I have a cousin Vinny...once said to me:

"Angelina, take today, rip it's head off, shake it, squeeze it and get everything you can from it."

You should know he lifts weights and is a runner. Well, you can probable guess that by his aggressive way he faces the day.
 
I think there is something to be said about his way of getting ready for everyday. Poising yourself to be powerful for the ride of the day is a great idea. If you have physical endurance, you are more apt to problem solve physical things.  You can endure the ups and downs of the physical world easier, feeling less tired, which will make you feel more happy, and give you a sense to make things happen in the world.

But does feeling more powerful mean you can shift energy?  

Physical power without empowerment will leave you running in circles, putting out fires all day but not very grounded.   To be driven ONLY by what the world can give us and NOT what our empowerment can place in the world will give one a sense of a treadmill, everyday is the same kind of feeling.

Does this sound familiar to you, Romona?

You asked about shifting energy. I think that is different than feeling powerful. In most people's eyes, power comes from attainment. Getting things you want in the world.  But sometimes the world can disappoint. That is a given, however, did we get blindsided because we did not use our natural gift of intuition ? Did we attract an energy that seems to be "always against us?"

 I have come to learn that there is a difference between feeling powerful and being empowered.

While feeling strong and POWERFUL physically can build endurance so we can handle the ride of the world.  BEING empowered will give us the insight to initiate our thoughts, intuition and spirit. This is where we can shift energy!  Being empowered by our higher selves will help us attract more people that have our goals and passion in mind or at least not work so much against us!

Physical action with empowerment of our spirit will give us that extra protection to help us
spring into  in to action and  feel stronger about our choices. 

So to answer your question to shift energy (non physical), think of going within and gaining empowerment using your positive thoughts, your heart, gut reaction and your mind's eye to
visualize what intention you want to take place or what situation you what to be strong in. Once you have that, seal that empowerment with sentence or affirmation that summarizes what you want to shift.

So to recap:
Take a moment to listen to YOU to be empowered with what you feel, hear and see from within. When you are ready. visualize those things as a representation of your personal empowerment. A gift from your higher self, spirit and or spirit guides.  It will give you a feeling of  protection and and self realization in the world.

When things feel ready, be that example of empowerment though your actions. Empowerment PUSHES your body to move head in the psychical world to make it happen.

Then if you want to pump some iron after that ... its  a plus!!!  LOL .. empowerment and endurance.....  great combination!

I hope this helps!

Together on the Journey,
Angelina
