Every energy field contains specific energetic patterns that are essential for good health. These patterns transform into emergency response reactions when you’re anxious, exhausted, overburdened, or shocked, and they change quickly to assist you adjust to the circumstance.

Studying and learning about the human energy field — our interwoven network of many patterns — has fascinated me. However, each person has a distinctive energy.

Your energy patterns may, however, be locked in a pattern that no longer promotes optimum health and vitality because you have likely been exposed to your stressors for such a long time.

You are therefore dealing with energy patterns that have become ingrained in your system if you:

  • are prone to negative thinking or feeling overwhelmed.
  • have accepted that you have hormonal imbalances.
  • believe it is acceptable to be reactive if you have physical pain
  • are managing a chronic illness.

Your energy system can develop unhealthy and reactionary patterns, yet these patterns can also be changed to support your utmost health and vigor.

According to holistic health, it generally takes six weeks for an imbalanced pattern to change into a healthy one, which requires performing the re-patterning exercise at least once a day for six weeks.

The pattern that connects the left and right sides of your body is one of the most vital patterns for vitality, immunological health, and clarity.

Every system in your body has this crossover pattern: the idea the left brain controls the right half of the body and vice versa.

Your energy system has to cross over to work properly. When this pattern is not holding, it may take longer to fix any negative or disease-related patterns. Your crossover pattern, though, is dynamic. It’s not as if you have it or don’t.

Your body’s energy system is designed to keep you vibrant and healthy. This pattern changes when you’re exhausted or under stress.

Your energy system becomes much more disconnected and inefficient without the crossovers. Your body is responding by making you exhausted. I need to restore, then sleep.

If you do sleep, then those crossover patterns can come back into your system, so you wake to feel refreshed. Your healthy energy rhythms can be
re-established once the stressor is gone and you enjoy a restorative night’s sleep.

The problem in today’s world is that many individuals decide not to choose sleep when they start to feel exhausted. Instead, people rush through their days to pay bills, meet deadlines or support others in their lives.

If you generally run more on this pattern, you will often feel tired, have less emotional resilience and probably more doses of illness than others in your life. Yet, remember, you can evolve your energy patterns.

Your energy system can benefit from a healthy crossover pattern change.
For instance, as humans evolved millions of years ago, we would have walked or run for most daylight hours. How many of us walk for six plus hours in our daily lives now?

This was nature’s way of making sure that we continually reinforced the basic crossover pattern.

My body requires running at least three times per week, long walks beginning at 10 km, alternating with different exercises during the week, and hikes whenever the opportunity arises throughout the year.

So one of the keys to assisting your entire body system in regaining optimal health is to perform the crossover exercise one or multiple times per day.

This re-patterning builds up over time. While your system may initially only be able to maintain the new pattern for a short time, if you continue doing it every day, it starts to keep it for longer and longer periods until it is
re-patterned back into your ideal health.

Thus, performing the crossover exercise once or more during the day is one of the keys to supporting your complete body system in restoring optimal health.
