Did you try the practice I gave you in last week’s blog post on increasing your energy levels by practicing trusting your instincts?

If you missed the previous post or are new to the blog, last week I prompted you to try this practice for the week:

Commit to making decisions solely based on your initial gut feeling for one week. Whether it’s picking an outfit for the day or making a significant career choice, listen to your intuition and act on it without hesitation. Listen to your intuition and act on it without overthinking.

This week, I am introducing another practice you can try as a way to increase not only your energy levels but your intuitive senses, too!

These practices I am sharing over the weeks can help you to begin living more intuitively. Try these practices as I share them and let me know how they impact your energy levels!

Creative Connection as a Way To Increase Energy and Connect to Your Intuition

It’s easy to get caught up in the day to day hustle of our lives, leaving us feeling drained and disconnected from our intuition. That’s why this week I am sharing how engaging in a creative outlets you enjoy can serve as a powerful way for increasing energy and intuitive guidance.

When you immerse yourself in a creative activity, you enter a state of flow. You’re no longer concerned about the end result; instead, you’re fully absorbed in the process. It’s in this state that your intuition takes center stage.

Have you ever noticed how your clearest and best ideas seem to appear when you least expect them? Sometimes they come to us during a long walk in nature or a shower, or when you’re engrossed in a creative outlet. Creative activities activate different parts of your brain, allowing you to see connections and solutions that might have eluded you in your everyday routine.

Creativity is a gateway to your intuitive mind

Creativity is the language through which your subconscious communicates with your conscious self.

When you allow yourself to get lost in creative outlets, you invite your intuition to come forward and play. You may notice that from this flow state it becomes easier to access ideas, make decisions, and gain a fresh perspective on challenges you may be facing. When you engage in creative activities, you are engaging with the deepest recesses of your soul. It’s not about perfection or comparison; it’s about self-expression, self-discovery, and self-nurturing.

Incorporating creative activities into your life isn’t just about producing a final product; it’s about nurturing your soul, awakening your intuition, and boosting your energy levels. By dedicating time to creative pursuits, you’ll discover an increase in your overall energy levels. You’ll wake up feeling more motivated, tackle daily tasks with renewed energy, and find that your resilience in the face of challenges has grown stronger.

This week, embrace your inner creative and watch as your creative connection opens up new avenues of inspiration and intuitive guidance.

Try this:

Engage in a creative activity you enjoy, whether it’s painting, dancing, playing a musical instrument, or crafting. Allow yourself to get lost in the process without focusing on the end result.

Share your creative journey with me by tagging me in your creative stories on social media or dropping me an email letting me know what creative outlets you’re incorporating into your life this week!

Trusting Your Gut Instincts

Do you find it challenging to trust your gut instincts? Our gut instincts are a direct channel that our intuition communicates with us from. When we build trust in ourselves, we naturally develop greater self-awareness and hone our decision-making abilities, aligning them more closely with our authentic selves. Trusting our gut instincts can also have the added benefit of boosting our energy levels. This is because when we place confidence in our inner guidance system, we let go of resistance, attain a sense of balance, and use our energy in the most efficient and aligned way for our unique selves.

Here are a few tips to help you begin to trust your gut instincts:

1. Pause and Breathe: Before deciding anything, take a moment to breathe deeply. Close your eyes if it helps.
2. Embrace First Impressions: Your initial gut feeling is often the most authentic. Embrace it wholeheartedly. Notice what comes to mind when you first think of something, meet someone, or have a decision to make. Notice what your intuition guides you toward instantly.
3. Let Go of Doubt: Release doubts or fears. Trust that your intuition knows your path.
4. Reflect: After acting on your intuition, reflect on the outcomes. This self-awareness strengthens your connection to your inner guidance system.

Try the following practice this week: Commit to making decisions solely based on your initial gut feeling for one week. Whether it’s picking an outfit for the day or making a significant career choice, listen to your intuition and act on it without hesitation. Listen to your intuition and act on it without overthinking.

I’d love to hear about your experiences and insights during this week of trusting your instincts. Share your stories and reflections on social media and tag me or reach out if you have questions or need guidance.

In case you missed it, last week I prompted you to try this practice for the week:

Set aside a few minutes each day for mindful stillness. Find a quiet space, close your eyes, and focus on your breath. As thoughts arise, observe them without judgment and gently guide your attention back to your breath.

Mindfulness is a powerful tool for cultivating present-moment awareness. This heightened awareness extends to your intuitive sensations, allowing you to recognize and interpret those subtle nudges from within.

Unlock Energy and Intuition through Journaling

This week we’re focusing on a single, transformative practice: Journaling.

Journaling isn’t just about putting your thoughts on paper; it’s a powerful tool for harnessing your intuition and revitalizing your energy. By dedicating a journal solely for your intuitive reflections, you create a sacred space for your intuition to thrive.

Journaling provides a creative outlet for your intuition to express itself. By acknowledging and recording your intuitive insights, you’re creating a space for deeper self-understanding and renewed energy.

Here’s how to get started:

Begin Your Day with Intuitive Insights: Every morning, take a few moments to sit quietly with your journal. Tune into your inner world and pay attention to any gut feelings, dreams, or intuitive nudges that surface. Write them down without judgment or overthinking. Let your intuition flow freely through your words.

Reflect at Day’s End: In the evening, revisit your journal. Reflect on your day and any intuitive sensations or insights you’ve encountered. Writing down these experiences not only solidifies them but also allows you to track patterns and connections over time.

Journaling isn’t about creating a masterpiece or following a set structure. It’s a space for your intuition to speak its truth. Trust that your intuitive insights, no matter how subtle, are valuable and worth recording.

As you make journaling a daily practice, you’ll notice several benefits:

• Increased Energy: By acknowledging and exploring your intuitive insights, you’ll tap into a wellspring of energy that often goes untapped. Your intuition is a powerful source of inner guidance and vitality.
• Strengthened Intuition: Regular journaling helps you become more attuned to your intuitive signals. You’ll become better at recognizing and deciphering the subtle messages from your inner self.
• Enhanced Self-Awareness: Journaling fosters deep self-reflection and self-understanding. You’ll gain clarity about your desires, fears, and aspirations, allowing you to make more aligned choices in life.

Use this weeks practice as a way to create a space for your intuition to flourish and watch as your energy levels increase. I encourage you to share your journaling experiences and insights as you try out this week’s practice! Your process can inspire others to start their own journey of developing their intuition. Tag me @natashanirvana in your posts as you share your journaling practice!

Have you ever considered that your intuition can actually help you to increase your energy levels?

We often hear about various methods to boost our energy levels: exercise, nutrition, adequate sleep, and so on. But one often underestimated aspect is the power of intuition.

When you listen to your intuition, you’re aligning yourself with your authentic desires and needs. This alignment can lead to reduced stress, increased emotional well-being, and even improved physical health.

Imagine the energy you could save by living in flow with who you are and what is most in alignment for you!

Over the next few weeks, I am going to share with you some different practices you can begin incorporating into your life as a way to begin living more intuitively. Try these practices as I share them and let me know how they impact your energy levels.

Practice Mindful Moments As a Way to Increase Energy Levels

Mindfulness is a powerful tool for cultivating present-moment awareness. By focusing on your breath and observing your thoughts, you’re training your mind to be fully present in the now. This heightened awareness extends to your intuitive sensations, allowing you to recognize and interpret those subtle nudges from within.

Mindfulness enhances your awareness of the present moment, making you more attuned to your intuitive sensations. Over time, this practice can reduce stress and increase your overall energy levels.

As you settle into the moment, you’ll likely notice your mind’s natural tendency to wander. Thoughts, worries, and distractions may arise. Instead of suppressing them, embrace them with compassion. Acknowledge each thought as it emerges, observing without judgment, and gently guide your attention back to your breath.

Studies have shown that regular mindfulness practice leads to reduced cortisol levels—the notorious stress hormone—resulting in a calmer nervous system. When your energy isn’t consumed by stress responses, it’s free to fuel your passions, creativity, and vitality.

Consistent mindfulness practices nurture growth over time. As you incorporate this practice into your daily routine, you’ll likely experience a cascade of benefits: increased resilience, improved focus, heightened self-awareness, and, of course, a boost in energy.

Your mindfulness practice will likely create a ripple effect throughout your life. The energy you cultivate through mindful stillness can spill over into your interactions, work, and leisure. Imagine a life where your wellspring of energy fuels your pursuits and infuses each moment with vibrant presence.

Try this over the next few weeks:

Set aside a few minutes each day for mindful stillness. Find a quiet space, close your eyes, and focus on your breath. As thoughts arise, observe them without judgment and gently guide your attention back to your breath.

I have officially begun my maternity leave! After 36 weeks of pregnancy, maintaining my practice became increasingly difficult. I made the decision to start my maternity leave early so I could conserve my energy while I finish growing this baby and prepare for the next phase of my life journey.

Over the next few weeks, I will be sharing tips and lessons I learned from my pregnancy and preparing for my maternity leave. This week, I am excited to share my experience as an intuitive coach and the challenges I faced in managing my energy levels during pregnancy. Join me on my journey through pregnancy as an intuitive coach!

Energy Level Challenges

During my pregnancy, I encountered several challenges in managing my energy levels. I learned that each person’s pregnancy experience is unique and unpredictable, and that it’s crucial to prioritize taking care of one’s own energy and needs. It was difficult to anticipate what to expect, and I often felt unprepared for the changes I was going through.

From the very beginning of my pregnancy, each day was different and unpredictable. Some days, I woke up feeling full of energy and ready to tackle the day ahead. Other days, I felt run down and exhausted, struggling to complete even the most basic tasks. As a result, planning my days became very challenging. There were times when I had plans that I was too tired to follow through on, and times when I really wanted to do something that my body just wouldn’t allow me to do.

As an intuitive coach, I’ve learned and taught about the importance of prioritizing your own healing. No one can give from an empty cup, and one reason I love Reiki is that it provides tools to keep my energy in balance. I’m so grateful that I had already established self-care and energy management routines before my pregnancy. Managing my energy levels was already a significant aspect of my practice. However, during pregnancy, this became even more challenging. Building a human being takes a tremendous amount of energy; according to research, it’s equivalent to running a 40-week marathon!

“Pregnancy is the longest-duration, highest-energy-expenditure thing that humans can do. Mothers probably aren’t surprised by this,” said Herman Pontzer.

As someone who holds space for others in the capacity that I do, I am constantly aware of the importance of taking care of my own energy. It can be challenging to balance my role as a healer with my own self-care needs, especially during pregnancy when managing my energy levels became even more crucial. I frequently struggled to find enough energy to maintain my practice and care for myself, but I knew that it was essential to prioritize my own needs in order to be able to show up fully for my clients.

As my pregnancy progressed and my body changed, meeting my basic needs for sleep, food, and exercise became more and more challenging. I found that I needed more sleep than usual, but was often unable to sleep well due to discomfort and difficulty getting comfortable. Similarly, I needed to eat more to nourish myself and my growing baby, but I often experienced nausea and digestive issues that made it difficult to eat enough. Finally, exercise was important for maintaining my energy levels and overall health, but as my belly grew and my body changed, many activities became more difficult or uncomfortable.

Despite these challenges, I knew that meeting my basic needs was essential for balancing my energy and taking care of myself and my baby. I had to get creative and find new ways to prioritize my needs, such as taking naps whenever possible, eating small, frequent meals throughout the day, and experimenting with different forms of exercise that felt good for my changing body. It wasn’t always easy, but I found that when I was able to meet my basic needs, I felt better and had more energy to face the challenges of pregnancy.

It’s unfortunate that the challenges of pregnancy are often not openly discussed. Prior to becoming pregnant, most people who talked to me about pregnancy only had positive things to say. They would describe how wonderful it was and how much they loved being pregnant, including the popular food cravings and precious moments. However, what people don’t often discuss are the struggles of pregnancy, at least not until you’ve officially “joined the club” and are already experiencing them.

After becoming pregnant, I quickly realized that there were many challenges that people don’t talk about. This may be due to the culture we live in, which sometimes adopts a “don’t talk about it” attitude towards difficult topics. Unfortunately, this often results in loneliness, which I’ll discuss in a later post. When we don’t talk about our struggles, it creates imbalances in our energy that are hard to overcome because we lose the opportunity to learn from others what balancing our energy really means.

Despite the challenges, I remained committed to managing my energy levels and prioritizing my needs. I discovered that meeting my basic needs made me feel better and gave me more energy to tackle the demands of pregnancy. Although it was not always easy, I found that with creativity, persistence, and a supportive community, managing my energy levels during pregnancy was possible.

In next week’s newsletter, I will delve deeper into the strategies I used to manage my energy levels while building a family and maintaining a successful practice as an intuitive coach. As you may know, balancing one’s personal and professional life can be quite challenging, and it is not uncommon to feel overwhelmed or burned out. However, it is crucial to prioritize taking care of your own energy and needs first. This is especially important no matter what phase of life you’re in or what your passion is.

Remember, by investing in yourself, you will be better equipped to give your best to others, whether it be your family, clients, or community. So stay tuned for next week’s newsletter, where I’ll be sharing some valuable insights and tips to help you better manage your energy and achieve a more fulfilling life!
