I sense energy best when I'm in meditation. I've gotten to the point now where meditation is very important to my day, and I make time for it every day.
A short six months ago, I would have snorted at this and said, yeah, right, ME and a meditation practice?? And now ... well, all I can say is, it's a beautiful world.
For me, it has helped that I am surrounded by people who regularly do energy work. My mother is Buddhist and incorporates several periods of meditation into her life on a daily basis. My husband is a martial arts instructor who uses energy in his martial arts practice, and he also does healing energy work, both by touch and with EFT. And I have a group of very close friends who are seriously into this stuff.
