 MANAGE YOUR ENDLESS ENERGY SMARTLY

How you can tap into a massive source of vital energy inside your own body -- and how you can put this great force to work in your life by employing a simple, but powerful universal principle. Although this principle is rarely talked about in popular spiritual and self-help circles, it is widely used by some of the smartest people in the world: • Toyota uses it to power its hybrid cars • Entrepreneurs use it to create great wealth • NASA uses it to run the space shuttle • Architects use it when they design skyscrapers • Olympic athletes use it to win gold medals And although this principle is very powerful, it is also very easy to understand and use. You don't have to be an Olympic athlete or NASA scientist to put it to work in your life to immediately become more productive and have more fun. Here's how it works: The human body produces an amazing amount of energy. In fact, every one of your cells is a tiny power plant working around the clock, feeding energy to the entire system. Our body uses this energy to heat our blood, digest our food, pump our heart, power our brain, and much more. Engineers and scientists know that the easiest way to put more energy into a system is not to make more energy, but instead to waste less. This can be as simple as adding better insulation to a wall or as complex as recapturing the heat energy from the disk brakes in a car. We can apply this very same principle to our own lives. A huge amount of the energy our body generates currently gets wasted because we're not conscious of how it gets used. But, once we learn how to consciously conserve and direct our vital life force, a whole new world opens up to us. It's something like realizing you've been running your car engine 24 hours a day -- even though you're not using the car to go anywhere. Suddenly you see it's unnecessary, useless. And what happens the moment you stop wasting all that energy? It's like instant access to thousands of extra dollars that were going down the drain; you reduce wear and tear on your car, and help the environment to boot! So where is all of this extra energy being wasted in our lives? Where are we "leaving the motor running" so that we're always running out of "gas"? Everyone knows the answer to this question: STRESS! Stress drains our vital life forces, ruins our immune systems, keeps us on edge so that all our relationships are compromised, leaves us exhausted -- and worst of all, it destroys the possibility of our coming to know what we all want more than anything else in life: a mind at peace with itself, and a quietly contented heart. Think of how rich, vital, and creative your life would be if stress wasn't allowed to sneak in and steal away your energy every waking moment: • Your day would go smoothly, unblemished by minor irritations or major blowups • You would never get depressed over, critical of, or threatened by anything that happens • You couldn't mistake negative thoughts and feelings as "friends" in your time of need • Your relationships would reflect loving compassion instead of judgment and self-concern • You would be able to notice and enjoy the beauty around you
