Sensing Energy and Scanning

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.
