The Benefits of Running Energy in Meditation

In meditation, you can work with earth and cosmic energies to run energy through the energy channels in the body. There are several benefits to running energy:

1. When your energy is moving, everything in life flows with less effort.

2. Running your energy helps keep the body balanced as you work in harmony with earth and cosmic energy. 

3. Earth energy moving through the legs helps with grounding.

4. Cosmic energy moving through the upper channels helps with sore necks, shoulders, and backs.

5. Earth and cosmic energies create a healing to the body.

6. Running your energy helps remind you of your energy in order to separate out from what is not yours.

7. If you are feeling stuck, running energy can help get unstuck. 

Like everything, running energy is a practice. The more you run your energy, the more clarity it can bring. Whether it's 30 seconds, 5 minutes, or an hour, running energy has benefits beyond the physical time spent practicing it.
