Training the body to feel energy

People are born with the ability to feel energy. For example, they can sense if energy pathways in a body are disrupted or if there are subcutaneous inflammations. They can then usually feel that disruption in the energy by passing their hands over that specific place in the body. How they perceive the disruption depends on their own energy system, awareness and way of interpreting it.

I know that there are many people who do not believe in this at all and dismiss this whole energy story as nonsense or even a scam. However, I also know that there are more people who do believe this and sometimes work with the energy on a daily basis. Feeling balance I cannot prove, but it does exist. Feeling energy is very similar and unconsciously we all use it from birth – whether you want to or not.

We don’t really believe that balance exists until we have physically experienced it ourselves. Our own experience makes it almost impossible to avoid a truth. The more often you have lived an experience, the more powerfully that truth emerges in you. Mentally, you can reject truths, and you can sustain that for a time, but usually the body is stronger than the mind. The body is also much more intelligent than the mind.

So I can tell whole stories about energy and energy work, but it is much more powerful when I offer exercises that enable one’s own experiences. To also make those own experiences conscious and thus at the same time make intuition stronger. It is important to realize that we do not have to understand this in order to accept it as truth. Feeling balance does not need to be understood, but it works when we cycle.

So also let go of the idea that what you experience must fit into a particular worldview. Religions and science find it difficult to give energy and energy work a place. It brings the mystical down to people and the fear is that it makes people believe in themselves instead of a god. Science cannot explain it and therefore it cannot exist. But what you experience yourself cannot be undone.

Exercise with a pet

If you have a dog or cat as a pet yourself, you can do a simple exercise. Otherwise, you may be able to turn to family, neighbors or friends to do the exercise. All that is important is that the pet can lie quietly and that you have a friendly relationship with the pet. Take your time with the exercise and don’t force anything. Also understand that a pet is a unique being with its own soul – have respect for each animal.

The exercise itself is simple. Put your hand on the animal and make sure that you yourself and the animal are just nice and relaxed. It doesn’t matter where you put your hand, but keep your hand still. In the beginning you can pet or cuddle for a while, but for the exercise it is important that you keep your hand still – without being tense. So sit comfortably for it. You can decide whether you want to keep your eyes open or prefer to close them. Remain calm and breathing.

After a few breaths visualize energy from your body flowing to the pet. For example, you can call this love, loving energy that you give to the pet through your hand. It is important that you pay attention to how the pet responds to that energy flow. Also that you pay attention when you stop the energy flow again, how the pet responds to that again. So, does the pet notice your energy and the energy flow generated by you – your love.

For example, the pet may make noise when it notices your energy, lie down or relax completely. By the way, you could also practice this with horses or cows. As long as the animal can be calm to enter and live the experience together. Try it a few times, but don’t insist if the animal doesn’t want to or is done with it at some point. You can always repeat the exercise later and find depth in it.

Don’t be disappointed if it doesn’t work right away or if you don’t feel much yet. Some people can naturally feel the energy and others just need a lot of practice for it. Everyone can learn it and become aware of it. Each also in their own way – everyone experiences it differently because we are unique beings. Don’t necessarily try to understand it, but rather enjoy the experience – feeling energy.
