Are you resonating with the energy of the leader you want to be? In this short 7-minute awareness exercise, Nik takes you through a simple practice to become aware of and cultivate positive, calm energy. Your energy is the unseen, underlying feeling or presence that defines you as a leader, it can either positively or negatively affect your influence, trust, and connection. This was extracted from the live talk "Leadership Starts With Your Energy," which can be found here on Insight Timer.

If you're able to,

Close your eyes down and just take a moment to go inwards.

Go inwards and what I mean is all of those thoughts about what you have to do for the rest of your day today,

Any thoughts about the past,

Just ignore those for now and start to reflect inwards.

Turn your attention inside.

And if you're having trouble with the thoughts,

Start to notice your breath and this is a really quick and easy way for you to turn your attention to this very moment in time,

To the now.

So taking a few moments just to turn inwards,

To turn your gaze from the outside world to your inner landscape.

And start to become aware of the energy that you have residing in you right now.

And some of you may feel this as a physical sensation.

So perhaps your energy is manifesting in tight shoulders or a vibration.

A tingling sensation or a fluttering or perhaps the physical sensation is grounded and still.

Others of you may become aware of your energy on an emotional level.

So as you have turned your attention inwards and away from the outside world for now,

There may be emotions that have been hidden by all the things that you do on the outside and now they are having a chance to be seen.

And others of you may feel your energy on a different level.

And this may just be a knowing of what energy you hold.

A knowing,

A deeper sense of the energy that you are holding,

Of the energy that you are emitting.

So where is your energy and what is your energy?

So where can be defined as,

Is it still outside thinking of all the things that need to be done or had been done?

Is your energy scattered in the thoughts directed in the outside world?

And what is your energy?

Specifically,

What is your energy and what is your energy?

What is the quality of it?

Is your energy calm,

Collected,

Grounded,

Open?

Or is it frazzled,

Scattered,

Shaky?

Or is it bold,

Robust?

The words don't matter so much.

It is more of your own knowing of the energy that you hold.

And the energy that you hold is also the energy you emit.

And that energy is felt by those around you.

And this feeling may be subtle or it may be in their face.

But it's no matter for now.

Become aware of your energy.

And if your energy is something that you would prefer to change,

You feel like it's not serving you,

Then tune into the breath.

And start to make the breath deep and long.

And as you do that,

Relax the body.

Take away tension from the physical body.

And perhaps you also bring a smile,

A gentle smile to your face.

And you may want to visualise a calm,

Steady light radiating out from the centre of your chest.

And first it warms you.

It warms every nook and cranny of your body.

It warms every area of your energy that exists further than the physical body.

And as it warms your energetic field,

It also starts to influence the people around you.

It starts to influence and uplift those who also need light.

And take a few more moments just to expand your energetic field.

To expand your energy outwards.

First taking care of yourself,

And naturally affecting others with this radiating light,

This radiating energy or feel that is emitting from within you.

And when you're ready,

Gently opening your eyes.
