Room-Weaving

With each moment of sentience we create an energetic imprint that gets positioned in the great energy matrix within which we are all blessed to live.

Recently I was asked to go into a house build that was nearing completion. The family wanted me to clear the somewhat chaotic energy of construction, and invite the energies of balance and abundance into the house before they moved in.

I went from room to room helping weave the web of energy that filled the house. One part of the house was to be where aging parents would live. As I walked into this part I could strongly feel the energetic trace of the 89 year old man who had been to see his ‘home-to-be’ as it was being built and furnished. With all my senses I could trace where he had been in the house, feeling that energetic imprint as I moved through the rooms. When I went into the bathroom it was immediately clear that this wonderful Elder had not been into this specific room as his energetic imprint was not part of the web there. Later, through chatting to him he confirmed that he hadn’t been interested in seeing that room and had never stepped through the door. Furthermore, his energetic trace held much sadness, and while talking with him, I was able to touch on that. He had recently lost the home that he had lived in for decades in a fire and, although he was looking forward to moving into a shared house with his wife, daughter and grandchildren, he also felt sadness for what he was having to let go of.

For me, this was an incredibly tangible example of how, whatever we are doing, whatever we are thinking, feeling, experiencing, we are creating an energetic imprint that is shared into the web of consciousness that continually surrounds us.

And how does this relate to Eden Energy Medicine? Well, in every way, considering that we work with the medium of energy! But, recognising this conclusion may be a little intangible for some readers, I wanted to share the following ways in which I work with this understanding of the energetic imprint left in rooms.

When I enter a room that I will be sleeping/learning/working/whatever-ing in, I recognise the room, allowing my heart to open to its space, feeling gratitude for its presence and the container that it is gifting to me to pursue my activity.

Sometimes, if it feels particularly heavy, or if once I am in the room then I begin to feel there is some kind of energetic dysfunction, then I will weave figure 8’s throughout the room (maybe only in my mind and intention if I feel that it would cause alarm to others in the room!).

Before I used such techniques, I would often enter a room, sit down where a space was free and within minutes I would be feeling tired, scrambled, or simply like I needed to move to another seat or space. Now, I understand that it probably just means that the energy is not flowing as the room requires.

If there are areas of stagnation or heaviness then normally figure 8s will allow the web to transmute such area into being part of the overall balance and connection once more. I remain mindful to my own thoughts and actions while in the room, knowing not only will they impact everyone in the room with me, but also that they will continue to leave an energetic imprint that will continue to impact the energy of the room long after I have left.

Then, when I do leave, I thank the room for providing a nurturing nest for me. The sum total of all of this conscious intention would not total more than 10 seconds most of the time, yet the energy in the room can be greatly altered or reinforced.

I also take good care of my treatment room, as I feel it is essential that it is at its energetic best to take good care of me and my clients when we are working together. I meditate in that room, I drum in it, I thank it everytime I finish for the day.

Regularly I will smudge the room ...with intention, sage, water, song, figure 8s, paying special attention to the corners of the room where sometimes energy can get a little stuck.

I have some crystals and stones in my room and I make sure that they are energetically clean. Some of them, like a beautiful Obsidian, are specifically there to help hold negative energy that is being released. It is my responsibility (and honour) as a practitioner to ensure that the crystals and stones are clear energetically so that they can do their work too. My preferred way to clean them is to place them all out in a large bowl of water in the full moon and leave them for the night. The next morning they are so clear I can almost hear them singing! But I have one stone that I need to clean more regularly that once a month, so I keep an eye on it, with love and gratitude and, if in doubt, I can surrogate test it to see if I need to wash it under water, or send clearing love to it so that it can continue to weave it’s energetic presence into the web that fills the room I am choosing to work in for the benefit of my clients.

There are so many ways to be conscious of the energy in rooms, and to have as part of our intention to aid that energy, allowing more connectedness and more sweetness into all of our lives.

I hope you enjoy playing with these techniques.

With love, Prune
