This earth energy is composed of matter, but it is so fine, so subtle, that most of us don’t see it. The fact is that you can train yourself to do so; exercises will follow shortly. Those who can see this pulsating energy in considerable detail say it is a supremely organized design, consisting of spirals and little dots with webs of lines, sparks and clouds. It is everywhere, flowing between every animate object on the earth, actually connecting everything together, with varying degrees of intensity. It is said to be influenced by consciousness, from primitive to highly developed. The apple seed planted in the ground doesn’t know that it has to grow into an apple tree: primitive energy force propels it into that cycle. Likewise, much animal behaviour is instinctive and unconscious, coming from a primitive pattern of thought or energy. You also have the other spectrum, with humans trying to attain levels of sensitivity and awareness that require heightened consciousness.
The energy is indeed a vital life force, and its unique beauty and complexity make it an invaluable source of strength and power for us. Certain phenomena create particularly powerful energy patterns. That is why different locations have a different “feelâ€Â. You are responding to the energy within that area.
So how is the energy created within an area? It’s a highly complex series of influences, but here are some: the combination of the organic and inorganic elements in the earth itself, the energy of the flora and fauna in the area, the presence of different human and animal forms within that space, the energies from the solar system and power of magnetic fields which direct lines of cosmic energy. Are you feeling confused? You don’t need to study all these factors in detail: all you really need to do is start thinking about the earth’s energy with an ever- expanding series of questions.
These varying earth energies also explain why some of us prefer different area to others. As each person is unique, our individual make –up dictates which geographical area we feel best in. It’s to do with us balancing our own energies with the earth’s energies and creating complete health and a true sense of being. For instance, are you somebody who must live near a stretch of water? Others feel they must be in the mountains; others need the sea; some crave the close presence of large trees. It isn’t coincidence you feel this way; you are reacting to your own energies and wanting to harmonize and balance with others.
Weather is another enormous influence and people, again, have different needs because their make-up is different. Some people feel charged by constant sunny weather; others feel drained of energy. Most humid climates can benefit those whose energies resonate with that field; constant cold conditions suit others. Electrical storms are another good example; energy fields flow faster during that process. Does this excite you? Some people are deeply frightened by it because they don’t like the sensation of the sudden change in energy flow.
Do you see now why connection with what you might call nature is so essential for your psychic growth? You need to connect with these energies and you need to get to know yourself better through the process, by experimenting and working out what earth energies complement and strengthen you.
Whenever possible, take the chance of increasing your contact with what is around you. At least once a week, more often if possible, make contact with different earth energies. It doesn’t have to be a lengthy drive to the seaside. It can be a simple gesture. For example, the next time you are near a tree (and preferably alone) put your arms around its trunk and hug the tree. You may feel silly initially, but close your eyes and rest your face against its bark. What can you feel? Try to connect with the tree’s energy by relaxing and breathing deeply. Trees have a wonderful energy of their own. Run your fingers up and down the surface of the trunk, smell it and look at it closely. This is you connecting with the earth’s energy. You can do the same with a flower or bush or rock, or even a blade of grass. The more you practise, the more powerful it becomes.
Wildlife is another wonderful opportunity to communicate with other energies and feel their influence. Have you ever lain in the grass and watched a tiny ant pursuing its day’s tasks? Ants have a highly developed, intricate social structure and consequent set of behavioural patterns. Yet who taught then that existence? Can you imagine them all sitting down in a circle to discuss who is going to do what and why? Their quite extraordinary, specific behaviour is yet another example of the effect of the wondrous qualities of earth energy. If you have any domestic animals, they too can provide fascinating study. Although some of their instincts have been bred out of them, they still resonate with their own energy. Observing them and appreciating them gives us access into another realm of awareness.
In fact, appreciating the energies of each species of animal, each form of plant and mineral, gives richness to our own levels of understanding and gives us the chance of ever-evolving growth. You should never under-estimate the power of that sentence. Once you have spent some time working with your own personal psychic development, you will appreciate the sentiment even more.
You were promised exercises to help you see earth energy. Two examples follow. The first is to help you see a general level of energy that exists through everything. You may be able to perceive some of the beautiful, intricate patterns that were mentioned earlier. If your sight isn’t yet finely tuned to see those details, you should still be able to see part of a pattern. You need to be outdoors for this exercise and you need a sunny day to help your vision. If its a cold day, make sure you’re wrapped up warmly. Once you start this exercise, it can be so fascinating that you don’t want to stop.
Earth Energy Exercise
Find a quiet spot outdoors where you won’t be disturbed. Lie on your back an gaze up at the blue sky. Keep gazing at it, feeling relaxed as you do. Take a few deep breaths. After a while, you may see something making a pattern in the sky. It will look a bit like squiggles at first and then you may be able to make out little white balls that suddenly appear for a brief second then disappear again. As they disappear, they leave a pail trail behind them, but that quickly vanishes as well. This is the earth energy. Study this phenomenon for a few minutes and then as you widen your gaze, you may be able to see that the whole expanse above you is actually pulsating with these small balls of energy. If you are relaxed enough, you will see it cover your whole field of vision. The more you look at this energy, the easier it is to see it. When you feel confident, take your vision away, down to the grass or your clothing. Close your eyes for a moment. Then focus again on the sky. How quickly can you see the energy again?
Now try focusing your gaze on a nearby tree. Study the edges of the tree. Can you see a sort of green or pink haze around the perimeter of the tree? Have the tiny balls of energy suddenly disappeared at the edges of the tree? Now look a little more closely at the haze around the tree. If you are watching closely enough and tuned in to its vibrations, you will see that the balls of energy are outside the haze but then actually slip into it and disappear into the tree. So the tree is absorbing some of the earth energy. The more you’re able to see of this activity, the more you’ll want to stay observing everything around you. Remember to keep yourself warm if it’s not summer.
Did you find the exercise easy? Most people expect it to take enormous concentration and when you see the tiny balls quite quickly, you then feel sure that you’ve imagined it. You have not. In fact. After awhile, you will see it when you’re not even thinking of it. When you are sun bathing, for example, and gazing lazily upwards, you will suddenly see the familiar tiny dots. Or it might happen when you are swimming under a blue sky and you turn over to rest on your back. This energy exists everywhere, of course, not just against the backdrop of a blue sky. However, its certainly easiest to start this way because a blank expanse helps you to focus. That is why a cloudy or rainy day would make it difficult for you, although the energy is still there, whatever the weather.
