 Today, in our advanced, modern society, people take time to perform some kind of daily physical cleansing ritual. A shower or bath, teeth brushing, shaving and hair styling are all standard forms of grooming that we make time to fit into our busy lifestyles. After all, it's good hygiene, right? Our outward appearance is something most of us take pride in, but what about what's going on beneath the layers of the skin?
Remembering high school anatomy we know about the muscles, organs, bones, cells, molecules and atoms. Atoms are made up of particles containing protons, electrons and neutrons that carry electrical charges resulting in energy. This energetic field is the unseen, but very much felt, spiritual anatomy of our body. Just as we sense with our eyes, ears and nose, we also sense through our energetic body. Yet, we may not be aware that the energetic body needs just as much cleansing as the rest of our body. Here are some thoughts to consider: Our bodies have their own energy and they can soak up the energies all around us. We can at times act just like a sponge. These energies can be made up of various things such as other people's emotions, traffic noise, or contagious laughter. This energy absorbing happens when there is a matching frequency within us. Cells in our body send out a frequency and attract to it a similar frequency. This can be a good thing if it is contagious laughter or loving emotion, or not such a good thing if it is traffic noise or unhealthy emotion. If there is an unhealthy belief we carry in ourselves, our cells or our energy will keep drawing to us the same matching energy frequency until the belief is changed.
Scientist and author, Candace B. Pert, Ph.D. gives a more scientific explanation in her book "Everything You Need To Know To Feel Go(o)d". She writes, "The matter of consciousness is the vibrating, moving, breathing, pumping molecular complexes of receptors and their ligands as they bind to every cell in your body. The activity of these molecules creates an electrical charge and continually generates a current throughout your body mind to keep you awake, alert and conscious....vibratory attraction is when the receptor [For instance, sitting on the surface of the cell] wiggles and shimmies, changing from one configuration to another in a constant state of flux. This dance creates vibration that resonates with a ligand vibrating at the same frequency, and they begin to resonate together."
The energetic body is affected by emotions, consciousness and cellular memory. If cells within us resonate with the frequency of another person's, we may have similar triggers, and we may feel a physical response in our bodies when we pick up those energies. An example might be working in close quarters with a difficult co-worker. Since a large majority of our day is spent at work in and around other people's energy, this is bound to pose some rough spots at one point or another. In this scenario, the co-worker may be someone with an unmanageable, big personality and you may end up feeling crowded energetically in your work space. At day's end, exhaustion and some frustration may result from bottling it up all day. Not only could you have soaked up this co-worker's energy, but you're probably unaware that you even let it in. There may be some matching frequency in you that creates space for this person's energy. They could remind you of a person in your past who had dominant energy that bothered you and now your body is responding to the co- worker's actions on a cellular level by remembering what that energy feels like. Familiarity attracts this person's energy and you're left feeling emotionally drained and energetically congested.
Often, we attract circumstances in our lives in order to learn something and to heal something in ourselves. Ultimately we cannot change the circumstances, but we can heal the triggers in ourselves, which can minimize the effect. Our energetic bodies can get so congested with unwanted outside energy and unresolved internal emotions that distressful symptoms can eventually manifest in our physical bodies. We may then experience various ailments including anxiety, depression and stress. We may become critical of our selves and others leading to a pattern of negative thinking. These are symptoms we could all do without.
Now, in some eastern philosophies, caring for the body includes consciousness before matter. There are treatments for the energetic body just as there are for the physical body and the two are not considered separate. The Indian healing practice of Ayurveda, for example, recognizes a structure for the energetic body composed of Nadis (energetic meridians), Marmas (acupressure points), Chakras (wheels of energy) and the Aura (layers surrounding the physical body). The physical body responds when there is direct treatment of the energetic body. So then, just as we are mindful of cleaning our physical bodies daily, why wouldn't we also make time to clean our Spirit? After all it is the most primal, sacred layer of our existence.
There are a few ways to go about clearing the body of unwanted residual energy.
(1) Find ways to unwind from your day and learn to decompress from the influx of the energetic world around us. I recommend yoga and/or meditation as a way of letting go and replenishing.
(2) Be conscious of your sensitivity to other peoples' energy,. I recommend setting an intention during meditation. Find one that you will not falter from and that you can repeat throughout your day. In the case of the co-worker try intentions such as, "I enjoy my job and I work well with those around me". Change your reality with conscious thought by really feeling truth in the intention. The more your body feels the new truth the better you will feel about yourself and the situation.
(3) Be mindful of your breath throughout the day. For example, choose a yoga pranayama breathing technique such as a slow 5 second inhale, 1 second pause, 5 second exhale, 1 second pause, and repeat. This will help calm your mind and your body, and help you stay present with each action and interaction. Also, exhales are wonderful ways of releasing energy and giving you the feeling of letting go.
(4) Another way to clear the energetic body is by having an energy clearing done by an intuitive healer, Reiki practitioner, cranial sacral therapist or other body worker specializing in energetic clearing. It's an amazing way to access the deeper layers of who you are here to be as a joyful spirit in a beautiful body. You can gain clarity and insight into what's underneath current issues you may be experiencing and you can experience a sense of release.
Just as there are many different types of doctors, there are many different types of energy work. I always recommend when choosing an energy healer that you take particular note of whether the person seems grounded and knowledgeable. It is also important that he/she conducts healings for the highest good. This allows access to the life flow energy (also called Chi, Prana, God, Divine Light, etc), which is the purest source. Most healers' hearts are in the right place, but I caution against ego in this work. Essentially, trust your intuition when you are choosing some one to work with. If you take a moment to breathe into your heart you may feel an inner excitement around the healer you will resonate with.
Even though we all have the ability to heal our own bodies through our own thoughts, feelings and intentions, we all still have blind spots to certain patterns engrained in our bodies. There are many beneficial patterns and there are ones that block us from healing and growing. This is one place where an energy healer or therapist can really make a difference in helping you identify unaware patterns. Cells carry intelligence, programming, memory, emotions and information that help shape who we are. Once we have adapted certain programmings, our reality shifts to support this. What may get over looked is that things don't always have to be the way we've been programmed to be. There could be a core belief in you that is resistant to setting any intentions that will result in happiness. Seeing a healer can help you unravel the layers of life experiences, energies, emotions and lifetimes past that may be contributing to the holding of that belief. A healer who is able to stay grounded, neutral and work from a place of Divine light can help assist you in releasing patterns by bringing awareness to internal blocks and giving you the opportunity to recognize them.
There are so many ways to care for your body as a whole. Breath, mindfulness, relaxation, nourishing food, exercise and creativity are all ways to feel connected to your sense of self. In addition to these methods, energy healing is a wonderful way to clear out unwanted energy and awaken inner awareness. Whatever path you choose for healing, enjoy the process because it is a gift to unravel the layers and wake up to a deeper sense of your true self.
