Meditation, combined with visualizing energy flowing through each of the seven centers, is one way to go. There are many books, CD's, DVD's, and even Youtube videos that can teach you how to do this.
Physical exercises, like yoga, Qigong (especially Forest Qigong), and Tai Chi can bring about balance in the energy systems of the physical and non-physical body.
Art and music, sacred geometry and binaural beat CD's, are fun and easy ways to increase life energy flow.
Anything that connects Mind to Heart, or Spirit, will create a coherent electromagnetic heart field that surrounds and penetrates the entire body. A coherent heart field opens the energy centers, erasing stress and creating an experience of vitality and well being.
