I think a lot about how we shift energy; how we move from one energetic stance to another. I teach people how to use visualization and energy tools as a way to work with energy as they move through change. The other day, however, when I was talking with a client, and giving her a homework assignment, I said, “Now you need to go out into the world and move into action, in order for your energy really to shift.”
This brought on a reaction of surprise from this client. She was very comfortable with the idea of working with her energy through the tools I’ve shown her. But, she was looking at her situation as if she could “fix” her energy and then go out on the world in a new way. I think we’ve all felt this desire at times; to just get it together and then things will all line up as we move into the world…all anew. But alas, that’s not the plan of the Universe! As a friend said to me just this morning, “This is a participatory event!”
Just what is it about shifting our energy that at times requires our deep inner attention and, other times, our being in action?
Well, working with our energy is a dance. And just like with anything, we must create harmony between the yin and the yang; the feeling and the thought; and the listening and the doing.
It can be a true balancing act between these ways of being. It’s easy to pull inward and go into deep reflection and see energetically where we are stuck or where we hold old belief patterns. We can run our energy, clear our energy…do all kinds of things, but if we stay there too long, we see no movement in our lives. We have no way to then have our energy (our information) mirrored back to us. And, our points of reference can never be updated without that. It is this updating of information (or energy) that is the shift we are looking for.
So how do we do this?
Here are a few key pointers I like to pass on.
