Keep the energy pure and positive

Energy is something all of us have learnt about in Science, as power. In spiritual terms, energy has a different connotation. It is believed that there is Universal energy and everything in the Universe is made up of energy. Practitioners of techniques like Reiki and other allied healing techniques channelize the Universal energy and remove the blocks in one’s energy so that we operate at a higher level. They are highly sensitive and can instantly gauge the nature of energy around them by doing an aura scan.

Then there are places and people with high energy and low energy. Those with a positive, well-meaning mindset are full of good energy as are those who deeply meditate. Negative thinking people who complain, carp and are envious cut into the energy around us.

If you take places -- hospitals, courts, pubs and basements tend to be low energy. And it is the people in the space who vitiate the energies. Places of worship are havens of high energy and if you can go in at a time when it is less crowded and comparatively more peaceful so much the better. So also, open spaces, woods and forests with lots of green cover and beaches. The less cluttered and cleaner, the better -even in a room in our homes. Open and well-organized spaces have efficient energy about them.

Not so long ago a young designer complained to me that she was feeling drained and completely sapped of energy. She just couldn’t pinpoint the cause. She was eating right and had undergone tests to ensure she was medically alright. She was an energy worker herself. As we got talking, I asked her if she had visited some unused buildings or some such where she might have picked up some low energies. It turned out that there was a bereavement in a family that was close to her and she had spent a lot of time helping them out. With salt baths (our grandmothers used to remove the evil eye remember) and by spending more time in positive energy spaces she was soon back to her old self. Ringing bells in the four corners of a room. playing chants and lighting sage and incense are some of the other energy clearing methods that one can use. If the energy around us can be kept pure it can well and truly make a lot of difference.
