In order to live a completely soul filled energetic life, to give it all that you have to offer, and to be all that you can be – you must firstly have all of your 'soul power' intact.

Have you ever felt tired and drained but you couldn’t figure out why? Have you considered that someone or something might be draining your energy?

In this edition of Soul Inspirations, I want to talk briefly about energy cords and how to become more aware of them, and the importance they play in keeping our energy levels balanced.

Don’t forget, we’re all made up of energy, so as energetic beings, we have what’s known as energy cords, which we constantly emanate, whether it’s consciously or unconsciously.  When you focus and direct your thoughts and energy on a particular person, place, object, situation, or even an uncompleted project, you’ll establish an energetic cord with whatever you’re focusing on.

As you focus your energy on it, you’ll notice how the cord becomes bigger and stronger. Actually, what’s really happening is that your energy attaches itself to the object of your attention, and then your precious resource starts to seep away from your own soul, where it’s most needed. I’m sure that you’ve heard of the expression "giving your power away?" Well that’s exactly what happens. Not only are you giving your power away, and in doing so, creating a soul leakage, but you also become energetically involved once this energy connection has been established.

I’m not advocating that you should never become attached or that you should disconnect yourself from the people around you, or life itself. I’m referring to anything that’s dramatically taking your power away and draining you. Of course, you can have healthy attachments to people, places and situations, ones that feed your soul and supply you with energy.
