Start an Energy Exercise Practiceþ

So you've started moving your body. Now it's time to bring energy
awareness into the movement.

If you want to connect with your energy systems, you can't beat
energy exercise. I consider any practice that consciously merges
physical movement with energy awareness to be Energy Exercise.

Here are some practices that fall into the Energy Exercise category:

Yoga
Tai Chi
QiGong
Aikido
Other Martial Arts

Now with all of these - and especially with some martial arts
schools - you must be selective. Many schools/teachers have become
so focused on the physical aspects of the movements that they have
lost touch with the equally - some would say more! - important
energetic component.

You want to find a teacher or school that focuses on Both!
So your mission - should you choose to accept it - is to go out and
investigate some of the energy exercise practice options in your
area.

Do a drop in Yoga class. Go watch an Akido workout. Find out if
there are any QiGong or Tai Chi classes nearby.

And when you find an energy exercise practice that resonates with
you, commit to participating on a regular basis.
