Energy is one of the most powerful forces in existence, yet it remains unseen. Because we cannot see it with our eyes, we often struggle to grasp its immense influence over our lives. And yet, we place complete trust in energy every single day. Think about turning on a television. We don’t need to see the signals traveling through the air to believe they exist. We trust that when we press a button, the screen will light up, the sound will play, and everything will work as expected. We pick up our phone, certain that invisible signals will connect us to another person across the world. This same trust should extend to the energy within and around us—the life force that exists in all beings, in nature, and in the vast, interconnected universe.

Energy is never stagnant. With every thought, emotion, and action, energy is created and exchanged. It radiates outward and influences the world around us, just as external energies can shape our internal state. It is in perpetual motion, changing, flowing through every moment, interaction, and experience.

During difficult times, it can feel as though emotions like anger, fear, worry, or anxiety will never change or leave. But these emotions are not who we are; they are simply energy that has become dense and stagnant. They remain as long as we continue to hold onto the stories that feed them. The moment we recognize that these feelings are not our identity but rather trapped energy waiting to be released, we begin to reclaim our power. This transformation can only happen when we are ready—when we understand how to work with energy rather than be consumed by it.

We have the ability to choose how we direct our energy. We can use it destructively—dwelling in worry, anger, resentment, or self-doubt—or we can channel it toward creativity, growth, and healing. Every moment presents an opportunity to shift our energetic state and consciously decide what kind of energy we contribute to the world. This awareness gives us freedom.

Embodying Energy Through Yoga

Yoga is more than just physical movement; it is a practice of intentional energy work. Every posture carries its own energetic signature, yet its effect can shift depending on how we feel and the direction we choose to explore. Each pose offers an opportunity to embody different states of being, guiding us toward balance, strength, or surrender. Through movement and breath, we do more than stretch the body—we awaken energy, dissolve stagnation, and recharge ourselves with a higher frequency, aligning with a deeper sense of vitality and flow.

Following some examples to connect with the energy within each yoga posture, but they are fluid, open to multiple interpretations and possibilities. Remember that each pose can hold different meanings depending on intention, awareness, and the unique journey of the practitioner.

• Warrior II – This posture can embody the focused, disciplined energy of a warrior. It teaches the importance of stillness, presence, and discernment—understanding which battles are worth fighting and which should be left behind.
• Warrior III – This is the warrior in action, stepping forward with courage and determination. It represents the energy of movement, decision-making, and actively shaping one's reality.
• Warrior I – Here, the warrior has overcome the battles of the ego, embracing both their light and shadow. This pose symbolizes the integration of past lessons and the emergence of a higher self.
• Tree Pose – In this posture, we root down into the energy of stability and grounding. Like a tree connected to the Earth while reaching toward the sky, this pose reminds us that our energy is both supported and expansive.
• Eagle Pose – The eagle soars above obstacles, seeing beyond immediate struggles to a broader perspective. This pose encourages resilience, adaptability, and the ability to navigate life’s challenges with grace.

The beauty of yoga is not only in its physical postures or breathwork but in its ability to serve as an energetic reset. It is a sacred space where energy is purified, rebalanced, and restored. In this way, yoga becomes more than a practice—it becomes a source of renewal, a plug that reconnects us to the limitless energy of universal consciousness.

When we step onto the mat, we are not just moving our bodies; we are working with energy. We are clearing out what no longer serves us and making space for what will uplift and empower us. And when we leave the mat, we carry that energy with us—radiating it into the world, influencing not only our own lives but the lives of those around us.

Energy is always present. It is always supporting us, always guiding us. The more we learn to trust, direct, and embody it, the more powerful we become.
