Overview – How much energy you have can have a profound effect on how you get through life and the potential available to you. Anytime to you are faced with a situation, you will have an energetic response to it. This response can either be anabolic (building) or catabolic (breaking down). The idea is to be able to be more in choice about how you react and with what sort of energy. Leadership is not only about leadership of a government or other organization, it is our own sovereignty and government of our own person, our life and everything in it. Therefore, it is important to know how to manage these energy levels for optimum performance and success in life. Coaching along with self-awareness can help gain this mastery. As the leader of your own life, and actually yourself, really, this awareness and mastery of your energy can support you in achieving the best you can be.
These energy levels can also be regarded as levels of consciousness. The higher the level we are accessing at any given moment, the more options and choices we have available to us in that moment. We are then able to choose to use or tap into any of the lower ones. No energy level is good or bad - they are just different forms of energy and any of them can be beneficial depending on the need or circumstance. It is important to understand that it is not that we ARE these energies, but that we operate from them or access them.
The seven energy levels, according to the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching (iPEC), are listed below:
Level 1 – Apathy (Saturn)
Level 2 – Anger (Mars)
Level 3 – Forgiveness (Mercury)
Level 4 – Compassion (The Moon)
Level 5 – Peace (Venus)
Level 6 – Joy (Jupiter)
Level 7 – Absolute Passion (The Sun)
Each energy level can also be equated to one of the 7 traditional (visible) planets used in classical astrology, as shown above.
