Sensing energy

Sensing Energy and Scanning

One of the useful skills that we may develop in our study of crystal

healing

and energy work and other holistic or spiritual healing and

metaphysical

or magical practice is the ability to sense subtle energy.

Not everyone does develop this ability and it is not essential.

Perhaps as many as 80% of people will be able to sense energy as heat

or

vibration or as color or tone with relatively little practice .

This High percentage is one reason why scientific studies of

energy healing are often reported as inconclusive because so many

of the control group also learns to actually sense energy when they

simulate scanning for energy . Perception of subtle energy is

usually written off as " placebo effect " .

Most people have more of the ability to become aware of

subtle energies and information than they realize but have either

turned it off or learned to ignore it as it did not fit in to

the accepted public culture.

Most of this energy information are pretty subtle and it may take a

while to be

able to identify the ways real information is different than the

imagination.

( I still reality check pretty often its just that my reality does

include these things).

The ability to sense energy is used to help determine where and what

kind of crystals or energy is needed.

Generally one key to sensing energy is to pay attention to the

entirety of what you

experience and sense around and within you . You may be dismissing

real messages as imagination when actually the imagination is a

gate to the spiritual realms .Meditation and energy work may assist

you in tuning in to information but the main thing is not to

automatically

dismiss or block all the little intuitions and omens it may be just an

instant of an emotion or a image passing through your mind . Do not be

overly concerned about whether you do or do not actively

get information, just allow some space in your life for the possibility.

 

One thing that many people like to do before a crystal healing or

energy work session is to use some form of scanning or other method to

gather information about what and where treatment is needed .

Scanning is a way of exploring an energy field with the energy field of

your own hands .

Many people find that if they rub their hands together vigorously first

they can feel energy more easily .

Physical scanning is usually done by holding your hands near or over

the person you wish to scan. keep your hands about one to three

inches above the body as you move your hands slowly through the

persons energy field while paying attention to what you feel.

You may sense hot spots, cold spots, sticky spots, icky areas ,pulsing

or buzzing or absence of sensory information compared to other areas .

Do not expect to feel or not feel any particular thing just allow your

self to move your hands slowly through the persons aura. Move your

hands upward and downwards slightly to see if the energy field seems

different at different levels .

Some people will get visual or sound or even smell sensations when they

do this.

Make a mental note of anyplace you feel needs extra attention .

Pay attention to the chakra areas and the quality of the energy

sensations around them.

you might be able to sense if the are open or closed, torn, congested

overactive or depleted etc.

If we were doing one of the subtle touch or healing touch laying on

of hands modalities

we would pull out icky energy and fill the area with light or a healing

shakti and visualize mending anything we sensed as tears we might call

on angels or guides or our " Spiritual designator " .

People using shakti will usually just allow the energy to run to each

place they feel needs it Others will push or flow energy into and

pull out gunk throwing it away by tossing it in a bucket or visualizing

the transport of removed energy to a energy purifying entity at the

center of the Earth or handing it to a disposal angel. or some other

visualization

Some people scan the whole body and then go back and do the energy

work or place the crystals where they feel a need . Other people prefer

to scan one area and then do whatever work they feel is needed before

they move on.

Some right handed people find that the left hand is receptive to

energy and the right hand projects energy and that this may be reversed

for left handed people .Other people can use either hand for either

receiving /sensing energy information and projecting /sending energy .

When you have developed an ability to sense energy fields you can test

/ " taste " the energy around places and people and books some people

use the energy they can project to clear and charge the food they eat .

 

Here are some techniques that people have used to help themselves

develop

sensitivity.

Energy Balls of Light

The energy ball is a very common and basic core technique for becoming

aware of and directing energy often personal energy but also universal

chi or energy and can be used as a way of delivering other frequencies

of healing energy too This exercise helps us become more aware of the

energy field around us, and the influence we have over it. Begin by

holding your hands a foot or so apart, bringing them slowly towards each

other, until you feel a slight resistance between them. It will feel as

though a mass of energy has built up between your hands (which indeed it

has!). Feel all around this energy with your hands,

feeling the shape of the packet of energy you have gathered. Fashion it

 

into a ball shape. the size of the ball may be big or little. This may

take some practice to feel. and some people do not sense energy this way

at all. Sometimes people don't feel their own energy ball, but they

would feel other people's because the frequency is slightly different.

If you do not feel the energy ball might want to try this slight

variant

Begin by rubbing your hands together briskly until they are

warm then starting at about a foot apart move your hands back and forth

fairly

fast shortening the distance and slowing a bit as you continue to build

and

form the energy ball you may also try scooping motions from a bit

above

your head . Another exercise to try is to place your hands together

gently intend to

activate your personal chi or ask for spiritual energy and allow it

to

expand and build up moving your hands apart

you can try this with any healing energy but I learned these with chi.

 

You can use a pumping motion to become aware of and build up your own

energy . You can scoop in universal chi from your surroundings. You

could also run a shakti such as Reiki into the space or ball you create

between your hands and use it as a carrier of healing in many different

subtle touch systems many general spiritual healers use energy balls

both as collectors to remove imbalances and to place healing energy

where it is needed .

 

The combination of sensitivity to energy and receptiveness to

information from spiritual sources via methods like meditation and inner

listening is not an extrasensory or extraordinary ability it is simply

relearning to use some of the inborn abilities that have been

repressed , forgotten or ignored . These and other abilities operate

differently in different people . and of themselves do not indicate any

personal merit or degree of spiritual advancement.

It is not a matter of working at or determining to develop particular

skills as much as it is a matter of giving each individual an

opportunity to awaken those that are natural to them.
