The Short Story
Energy work is the process of recalibrating the human energy field. Everyone, at some point or another, to some degree or another, will experience an obstruction, disruption or blockage and, when this is the case, energy work is utilised to clear and recalibrate it. Not all disruptions, obstructions and blockages are equal, some are caused by the impact of living in the 21st century and all that comes with that and these energy disruptions can generally be remedied by simply walking in nature, swimming in the ocean or a river, by breathing consciously or by pure intention for the return of balance. Some obstructions however run deeper and are caused by emotional, mental or physical resistance to fully embracing what it means to be alive. Mostly these resistances stem from negatively perceived past experiences which cause a contraction and a kind of freezing of time and space.
These frozen moments of the past are energetic trees in the river that is naturally a free-flowing movement of energy which brings new life force and vitality to the experience of being alive and well, but the free flow is blocked and energy can’t move to meet us and enliven our present time, our present life experience. These energetic fallen trees render us unable to move forward in our thinking, feeling and actions. It is here that energy work is very useful and where a trained and skilled energy worker can help facilitate a return to the natural movement of life-force or vital energy.
Energy work is a collaborative process that takes place between a practitioner and protégée. The result largely depends on the openness and willingness of the protégée to shift from a sense of stagnation to one of vitality and the subsequent conscious effort on their part to practice energy hygiene in exactly the same way as we practice physical hygiene. When this is done the results are felt as a greater capacity for presence, and the ability to withstand the natural storms that some seasons of our lives bring with them.
