Perceptions on working with Energy
In working with energy, it's helpful to understand that energy contains many components, such as consciousness, mood, and feeling. Sometimes one needs to work with very specific aspects of energy, not just energy in its generic form. So, if one relates to the mood and/or feeling associated with the particular energy one wants to work with, one gets to a deeper level of clarity and tangibility. Perceiving energy on as many planes as possible develops more consciousness around our actions of the regulation and redistribution of energy associated with our personal energy field (aura) and body.
Through the course of daily living, trauma and a society that is sometimes way out of balance in many ways, one's personal energy tends to stagnate. Certain types of energy settle by the feet, while other energies tend to rise to the top of the energy body. Much of it just gets pushed away from the body and stagnates along the periphery of the energy body. As energy becomes more stagnant and less flowing, the edges of the energy body become less flexible and less effective as a protective barrier for the individual. The energy body becomes less dynamic and weaker, just as the physical body becomes stiff and weak if one does not exercise or stretch. The same holds true for your energy body, it needs to be stimulated and attended to. A healthy flow of energy needs to frequently be reestablished in order to gracefully move through feelings, thoughts and perceptions without getting stuck, limited or overwhelmed by them. Being fluid with your feelings in this way gives you a leg up no matter what situation you may find yourself in.
There are many ways of working with energy, such as, Chi gong, Tai chi, Tensegrity, healing and other energy arts. Improvisational inspired techniques are also a great way to work consciously with energy. When working, focus on the specific energy we need to bring into the body's vital centers. Energy moves and reacts to energy. That is why the more defined you can be in the feeling of the energy, the more you can focus on it, the more powerful the experience and results will be.
Hands are great tools for moving energy. The hands have many energy or feeling centers on and in them. They can be used like magnets to attract and gather up the particular energy you want to work with and then redistribute that energy where you need it. Your energy body is a giant storehouse of all kinds of energy. We can use the hands to sense what energies might be condensed in particular places within the aura. When we want to attract a specific kind of energy we can tune our hands to the specific energy we want to gather and redistribute. The clearer you can focus on the energy the better. Be able to be specific about the vibe, mood, consciousness and feeling of the energy. Feel the consciousness in your hands and sweep your hands in your energy field. Be specific with the feeling and mood as you gather the energy with your hands and put it where needed.
For example, if you have been at a loss for loving energy, you can use your hands to gather this energy that may be stagnant in your energy body and then place the energy over your heart center. If you've been stuck in thought patterns you can use your hands or other objects (a rattle works great) to stir up and circulate the energy around your head. Our thoughts, feelings and perceptions need to be fluid to help develop good balance. This fluidity enables us to move in and out of feelings smoothly and with more conscious control.
Being aware of the specific consciousness and feeling behind the energy will help you avoid putting erratic or any undesired energies into your physical system or over energizing any particular area.
As you work with particular energy needs, and in the refining of the specific feeling and consciousness of energy needs, you may find the energy you thought you needed to be working with turns out to be something very different. This is particularly important to pay attention to when working with chronic conditions. If using the general energy of healing is ineffective, you may need to use the energy of relaxation, forgiveness or humor to get better results. This process and exploration helps to refine your overall energetic awareness and perception.
In the case of experiencing excessive negativity in the body or aura, you can use your hands to gather the undesired energy and then channel that energy into the ground to be absorbed and transmuted. However, we will always have some aspect of the total range of feelings in our energy field.
Again, hands are very sensitive tools in this kind of energy work. Therefore, bringing as much awareness as possible to the specific nature of the energy you want to gather with your hands is of great importance. Another example, if you are gathering up healing energy, feel the healing energy in your hands as specifically as possible. The clearer you are with energy the more it responds. If you are working with the energy of happiness, feel happiness in your hands. Let your hands gather it up and then redistribute that particular energy where needed.
Try working with many different kinds of energies, such as the energy of the awakened spirit within your body. You can distribute this energy in all your feeling centers. You can turn this into a sacred dance of moving and redistributing the specific types of energy you want. You can use big movements, small ones, fast and/or slow ones. Be creative; explore what works best for you. The more you practice the more you refine the energy, consciousness and feeling you really need to awaken within your energy body. The energy body is a vast storehouse of limitless living energy. It's just a matter of accessing it. You can choose any aspect of energy you like. It is also a good idea to use your hands to just scan your energy field every once in a while. Everyone stores energies in a slightly different place. Our personal energies tend to settle or stagnate in a habitual configuration. So don't forget to explore how your individual energy makeup is organized.
Other great energies to work with are, energies of gratitude, universal or undiscriminating love, forgiveness, courage, strength and peace. Feel the manifestation of the desired energy in present time. Just feel it in your hands and start moving. Energy can be pushed, grabbed, stroked, poked, scooped, gently gathered and sometimes even punched. It can be rolled and condensed like a ball or pulled like taffy. Just feel and be creative. Getting intimate and clear with energy is important because energy moves energy. It's a great active meditation!
