Ep #95: What is Energy with Michael and Byron

In this week’s episode on the Going Pro podcast Michael and Byron talk all things energy. They discuss it as both a form of currency — something that can grow or shrink and can be exchanged with others — and also break down the impact energy can have on levels of consciousness and personal growth.  They discuss energy’s natural potential to move and the way this can impact the healing arts, such as reiki and embodied movements. Byron references what yogis call nadis, or energy channels, moving through the body. They talk about the different systems in the body and how this energy lives, moves, and can be understood within us.  Byron compares the currency of energy as the flow of money, something that is always moving. Michael piggy backs off this idea by discussing his own personal relationship with energy — from where it may begin the moment you wake up, to the moment you go to bed.  Together they discuss the relationship we have with our own energy, and the energy of others. We have so much energy that can be released at any moment in time. Michael dives into the theme of potential energy that lives within the body and how to optimize and access this energy.  Tune in to gain a new perspective on the many types and great power of understanding energy. 00:00 Introduction 01:49 What is Energy? 03:02 We are all energy 05:42 The Kinesthetic Quality of Energy 07:55 Stored Energy as Emotion 10:06 Consciousness Shifts 12:08 Understanding the Flow of Money 14:38 Quantifying Energy 18:16 Less is More Energy Exchange 21:17 Everything you need, you have 24:30 Letting Go of Energy 27:09 Energy in Bodies of Water 28:41 Energy Exchange with People --- About Going Pro Yoga: At Going Pro Yoga, we help yoga teachers become even better by teaching them new skills and giving them the tools they need to make their yoga classes safe, fun, and special for everyone. **Right now you can try Going Pro Yoga FREE for 7-days and sample: All Tools Needed to Master Cueing, Sequencing, and Alignment Video Library of over 75 fully Sequenced Classes, Sequence Chunks, and Flows FIRST EVER Yoga Cueing System with Over 160 poses and Hundreds of Variations Wisdom Talks from over 20,000 Hours of Teaching Experience Anatomy and Injury Prevention as it relates to Yoga.
