Raise Your Energy Level
Higher energy levels help one to become the light and the change one desires. One’s energy level is raised when one does something kind for others without asking for anything in return.
To raise your level of energy, commune with nature* and then make a plan for how you will do some of the things listed in Jonny Bowden’s book, The 150 Most Effective Ways To Boost Your Energy.
One needs to raise one’s energy level so that one can become the light one seeks, the happiness one desires, or the change one needs. One raises one’s energy level by being conscious of thoughts; by meditating; by eating mostly high-energy foods that are high in alkalinity, such as fruits, vegetables, and nuts; by refraining from alcohol and unnecessary drugs; by spending time outdoors; by listening to soothing music; by praying; by painting; by turning off the television; by maintaining self-respect; by making amends with adversaries; by showing gratitude; by viewing pleasing photographs or other works of art; by hanging out with positive people; by doing something kind for others without asking for anything in return; by affirming one’s intentions; by forgiving; by listening to your heart rather than the opinions of others; and by placing a check on your Ego.

HumaNatureConnect Activity
If this is not a day when you prefer to spend time in nature without an agenda, do the following activity (doing the activities right will raise your level of energy):
Start-up Protocol (An important reminder for what you may want to do to begin each Heartwood Path activity).
Read The Text — Use your literary sense, your mind sense, and your reason sense to read your way towards happiness and sustainability but do not just be an arm-chair traveler. Use your other natural senses as you also spend healthful, fun, and productive time in nature on your way to Gladandgreen Junction.
Attractive Natural Being — With pen and journal in hand, go to a natural area and look around to find a natural being that is attractive to you.
Appreciation and Gratefulness — While admiring your chosen being, appreciate it with your inhalations and give it gratitude with your exhalations.
Consent — Once you find an aspect of nature that is attractive to you continuously for at least ten seconds, think of your continued attraction as your consent to have a connection experience that will lead to your optimal functioning.
The Natural Senses — After gaining consent to enter into a connection experience with the natural being, have available the list of Natural Senses. Mix it up by using at least one radiation sense, one feeling sense, one chemical sense, and one mental sense, to widen your perception, and add variety to your experience.
HumaNatureConnect Activity — After reading the text, finding a natural being, appreciating it, gaining its consent, and scanning the list of natural senses, use your heightened awareness and nature-induced optimal functioning to do the following activity and engage in as many follow-up components as you see fit.
