Beyond fatigue | Where Does Energy Come From? | Recharging Ourselves

I realized something simple, yet profound, while volunteering in Switzerland. In a conversation with my host Heloise, something clicked into place. 

Our Soul energy is not recharged by food.

It is recharged through connection with the Source.

Food nourishes the body.
But it does not restore the deeper layer of energy we are often searching for.

The Body and the Soul: Two Different Sources

The body needs building blocks:

  • nutrients

  • minerals and salts

  • carbohydrates and proteins

This is functional nourishment. It keeps the system running.

But the soul—or the deeper essence of who we are—draws energy from somewhere else entirely.

It draws from:

  • connection

  • presence

  • the Source, the Divine Light. 

When that connection is present, there is a natural sense of aliveness, clarity, and flow.

When it is absent, no amount of food, rest, or external input fully restores us.

Practices That Regulate Energy

There are practices that help us reconnect and regulate this flow:

Meditation to ‘Be' more and to use less energy through thoughts is something many overlook. Silence and observing in a state of being is a good practice. Other physical practices include: 

  • Qi Gong

  • Yoga

  • Breathwork

  • Bodywork and massage.


These practices move energy through the system:

  • through meridians

  • across chakras

  • releasing what has been stored or blocked

Sometimes, when we don’t have space to consciously integrate life, the body stores it.
And sometimes, it needs support to release.

Food, Sensitivity, and the Changing Relationship with the World

Many of us have explored purity through food:

  • vegetarian

  • vegan

  • clean eating

Especially when we are highly sensitive, or carrying emotional and energetic load, this can feel necessary.

And yet, over time, something shifts.

The body may ask for something different.
More grounding. More density. More protein.

This creates confusion—because it challenges earlier beliefs.

From my perspective, the real burden has never been food itself, but the system behind it:

  • industrialization

  • disconnection from life

  • lack of respect for natural cycles

What I sense now is a changing relationship.

A deeper bond between humans and animals.
A different level of awareness.

Not consumption without consciousness—but participation in a shared system of life.

This is not about rules.
It is about awareness and relationship.

The Highly Aware Animal Soul

I have experienced animals differently over time.

Dogs, birds, and other beings that seem to:

  • see more

  • sense more

  • respond from a different level of awareness

Moments where:

  • a bird crosses my path and carries a message

  • a dog guides me, brings me back, or redirects me

Whether you see this as intuition, projection, or something more—
the experience is real in its impact.

It creates a sense that:
we are not navigating this world alone.

A World of Connection

What is emerging for me is not a rigid truth, but a lived experience:

Energy is layered.

  • The body is nourished by food

  • The system is regulated through movement and release

  • The soul is nourished through connection

And when those layers align, something shifts.

Life becomes less mechanical…
and more relational.

Less about controlling…
and more about participating.

It starts to feel like:
a world where different forms of life are in subtle cooperation.

A world that is, in its own way, a little more magical.

Closing

So the question is no longer:

“What should I do to have energy?”

But rather:

“What am I connected to?”

Because that is where true recharging begins.

3 nights in Malaga

  Discovering Málaga Arriving in Málaga by bus on a calm Saturday afternoon, I take in the city’s gentle rhythm .  Unlike other cities, Málaga doesn’t press; it simply exists, welcoming without intrusion.  Andalusia, they say, has a softer touch than the north—and I feel it. Settling into café Iberia at the bus station, I enjoy a vegetarian tarte and a Heineken 0.  It makes me slightly tipsy, so I sip some water before paying €9.20 and heading to my bus.  Bus number 20 arrives almost immediately, and thirty minutes later, I check into my hostel—a clean, well-reviewed space that promises a comfortable stay. Eager to explore, I step back into the city, which was buzing with people, cafes and pizza places galore. After a quick stop at the restroom and a peek at the tidy kitchen-dining area, I wander out again. The café downstairs hums with the quiet buzz of laptops and conversation—young people working, coffee in hand, croissants on plates. How will I spend the nex...

My mother finally kicked my father out of her house

Handling truth - One More Story… My mother finally kicked my father out of her house. She was over 80. Unhappy for at least 40 years. And I — her daughter — gave her permission. I told her she had the right. I showed her it could be done by living my life.  That moment changed everything for both of us. Because in 2015, I had already done the same. I had kicked my husband out of my home in Arnhem. Three years of marriage, a lifetime of trying to fix someone who wasn’t mine to fix. I told him:  "Take your child to your parents. Grow a brain." And then I broke every wedding ceramic I had made with our families and friends the week of our wedding. That was my seal. That was the end. It was a nasty battle, first with a so-called mediator from Indonesia — her energy, still bound to systems of suppression, didn’t recognize mine. She tried to command me. That’s never worked. Then came court. I had to sit through a prosecutor speaking under the banner of  domestic violence awaren...
