Would you ever combine energy healing and cycling? It’s not common and in fact, most people think of energy healers as a bit woo woo and definitely not in the field of racing bikes. Well, I may be an unusual case. I have spent 18 years practicing yoga and advancing my intuitive abilities. This sensitive side is very innate to who I am. As a result, I have national healing practice which was built up over the past 15 years and 2 books published. Yet, as much as I love yoga and the joy I receive from my work, riding a bike has brought about a power within me I didn’t know I had.

I’ll explain more: Part of what it takes to excel in life, overcome difficulty or have stamina comes from endurance. In my work with energy healing, I refer to the chakras, which are power centers in the body. Cycling is a 3rd chakra activity. The 3rd chakra relates to endurance, self-esteem, personal power, determination, will power, ego (healthy ego or the opposite if the chakra is out of balance), and a strong sense of self. Cycling builds this “energetic muscle” so to speak. Other endurance sports also nurture the solar ...
... plexus, but my experience with cycling has increased my inner strength, which is needed to overcome in other areas of life.

People who are attracted to becoming an energy healer or even in the alternative healing word are addressing the subtle layers of the body where energy is stored. So much of our “issues” are a combination of past wounds and blocked emotions that literally stay stuck in the body. Well, through energy healing, there is a way to address the stuck and blocked energy. It can be cleared, which provides relief. Yet, sometimes, it can be a bit fearful to approach some old wounds. It could feel like opening Pandora’s box of a whole sea of unresolved issues. At this point, healing requires having guts. A strong solar plexus is needed to actually to heal sometimes. How do you develop a strong solar plexus? You build core strength and endurance, which sometimes means pushing you past your limits.

Cycling is a sport that not only helps with weight loss and cardiovascular health, but it also builds core strength and challenges riders to move past their limits. This can actually move stuck energy. There have been cycling moments, where I have pushed myself to keep up with the guys, pushed past my limits of pain, cussed like a sailor and even cried on the bike. You may wonder why this would actually be fun? Well, there are benefits to the present moment of being in your body, quelling the mind ,and letting your spirit drive you up a mountain. Sometimes, that experience on the bike is training for real life. It is building stamina, core strength, courage and perseverance. All of these qualities are building a strong core and therefore a strong and confident self. When you feel confident, you already healing and pushing through your blocks!

For me, I sit in meditation most of the day with clients helping them work through and clear their blocks. When I finish a workday, my body craves being out in nature, releasing my day, expelling any build up in me and simply centering. I am a nature person, and my fondest memories of childhood have been riding a bike. I remember my first bike and my father teaching me how to ride it. I would cruise the streets with my gang of other 8 -year old neighborhood kids. Cycling is very natural to my body and the combination of fresh air and the outdoors does wonders for the soul. There are many other endurance activities that aid in energy healing, and I highly recommend choosing one that helps build solar plexus strength. It will help boost core strength for life. Yoga will always be a big part of my life, for much of the same reasons I ride a bike, but it is common to find energy healers in a yoga class. Cycling, on the other hand, may be less presumptuous. Yet, cycling is my yoga, my energy healing, my endurance building and what keeps me in balance as an energy healer.
