"How do you build more energy?"
I am often asked this question. My standard answer is Yoga: Pranayama, Bandha, Bhavana. But before I can get into any of these, I turn to all other wonderful ways we find and nurture energy in our lives.
Here is a list of activities that give us energy. This list is not all-inclusinve and was collected by me from all of my different students and friends. Mind you, some of these activities may sap your energy rather than give it.
Feel free to respond and contribute.
