Simple actions such as clapping can snap us out of our memories and return us to our original creative power.
We normally clap our hands in applause or to cheer someone on. Maybe we’re happy or want to get someone’s attention. When we clap this way, we’re giving energy to others. But clapping can also be used to help ourselves.
Clapping as Energy Meditation
Just as massaging our feet can affect our entire body, clapping can stimulate and awaken the energy in all our energy channels. It brings our mind to attention and gives us strong stimulation on which to focus. In other words, clapping can be a form of energy meditation.
Try clapping vigorously thirty times, do you feel more alert, maybe even more energized? How are you different from before? A simple action like this can quickly snap us out of a stupor or a spiral of negativity and draw our attention back inside ourselves.
Simple Actions to Shift Our Energy
Clapping is one way to return to the present, but it’s not the only one. Other simple actions include:
- Smiling and making a happy facial expression
- Speaking in a higher tone using more positive words
- Walking with a spring in our step
These actions that involve our body can switch our mood and our mindset. They send a signal to our brains that: Now, I will enter my body. And they can go even further: they can open our BrainPhone.
Opening the BrainPhone
The BrainPhone is what I call the deeper, wiser, creative, more intuitive parts of our brains. It is a direct line to our original nature and inner creativity. Even without being meditation masters, we can use simple actions like clapping, smiling, or walking consciously to access these parts of ourselves.
We open up these abilities when we exist here and now instead of in our memories or information. In the present, we can be the infinitely creative energetic beings we really are, beings who see more possibilities and who are 100 percent positive with zero negativity. Then, our hearts open, and the energy of our original nature, our existence without our bodies, will explode inside us, making waves that awaken our creative abilities.
Returning to the Present
But these simple actions can only work if we recognize our current state and take them. So we can check ourselves. Check our brains and our bodies. Throughout the day, we can look at our expression, listen to our voice, and notice how we are walking. By adjusting these, we can return to the present moment and turn on our BrainPhones. Then, what seemed annoying or impossible will become simply part of the great dance of life.
Every time we choose to return to the present is like a choice to be reborn. Once, twice, or even ten times a day, we can recreate ourselves anew by returning to our original nature by returning to the here and now. No matter how many times we drift away to memories, worries, or limited information, we can come back to the current moment and begin again.
Choosing Joy in This Moment
Birth, aging, sickness, death are not areas we can completely control. However, today, living joyfully is our choice. It’s the only thing we can do. In this way, our day becomes our lives. Walking, voice, expression—changing these means we have the greatest creative power.
So, when we find ourselves lost in the past or trapped in needless worry, we can immediately clap our hands, start walking, or look in the mirror and smile. In that moment, everything changes. We return to the present, we dwell in energy, and we rediscover the joy of being fully alive.
