Have you ever noticed how some days you feel alive, clear, magnetic, and deeply connected to life… while on other days everything feels heavy, flat, or strangely difficult?
Most people are taught to think about life mainly in terms of thoughts, behaviours, or circumstances. Yet beneath all of these is something more fundamental that shapes how we experience the world.
Energy.
Not “energy” as a vague spiritual buzzword, but as something lived and felt every day through emotion, attention, vitality, desire, creativity, presence, and intention.
In July, Stewart Blackburn and I will be running a new four-part online workshop called Make Energy Your Friend.
It is a practical exploration of life energy through the lens of Huna and related esoteric traditions. The focus is not on abstract philosophy or complicated systems. It is about learning to recognise, understand, and work skilfully with the energies already moving through your life.
One of the things we have found over the years is that many people have a complicated relationship with energy.
Some people feel overwhelmed by intensity.
Some try to suppress parts of themselves.
Some become exhausted trying to “manage” their emotional states.
Others sense there is something deeper happening in life but are unsure how to relate to it practically.
In Huna, energy is not seen as something to fear or control. It is something to understand and cooperate with.
When your relationship with energy changes, many other things begin to change too.
You may notice:
• greater clarity and steadiness
• increased vitality and aliveness
• a different relationship with emotions and intensity
• more creativity and inspiration
• greater ease in relationships
• a stronger sense of direction and personal authorship
• more awareness of how your focus shapes your experience
This workshop is designed as an experiential journey rather than simply a set of ideas.
Across four live online sessions, we will explore:
What energy actually is and how it works
A grounded framework for understanding the life force moving through body, mind, and awareness. We will explore how consciousness directs energy and how attention influences experience.
Your personal vibration
Every person lives within a field of influences, habits, emotions, expectations, relationships, and intentions. In Huna, the overall pattern of these influences is sometimes described as your vibration. We will explore what affects it and how you can begin working with it consciously.
Pleasure, passion, intensity, and sexual energy
One of the most misunderstood aspects of human energy is intensity itself. Love is intense. Creativity is intense. Desire is intense. Sexual energy is one of the strongest and most transformative forces in human life, yet many people have never been taught how to relate to it consciously or comfortably. We will explore these energies in a grounded, respectful, and practical way.
Learning to direct and intensify energy
The final session focuses on practical ways of holding, moving, directing, and amplifying energy through awareness and focused intention. Not through force or strain, but through understanding and practice.
Throughout the workshop there will be guided experiential exercises, reflection, discussion, and opportunities to ask questions.
One of the things many people particularly enjoy about these classes is that they are not only informative. They are experiential. People often describe feeling more alive, centred, connected, and inspired simply through participating in the process itself.
As one participant wrote:
“Coming back to Huna makes me feel like someone who has been struggling along a rocky and overgrown path by a gently flowing river for a long time with a heavy weight on my back and someone has just come along and pointed out what a lovely canoe I am carrying!”
The workshop takes place live online on:
29th June and 6th, 13th, and 20th July 2026
7.00pm to 8.30pm UK time
Replays will also be available to participants for six months.
There is currently an early booking price available.

This is not about becoming “perfect”, endlessly positive, or spiritually impressive.
It is about developing a different relationship with the energy of being alive.
And when energy becomes your friend, life often becomes simpler, clearer, and more creative.
