How Energies Affect US by Bev Hanson |

Now that this is written, I see that a more appropriate title for this part would be “How We Interact with Energies.” For that is exactly what life is all about–– interacting with the energies flowing around us. Remember I said in a previous newsletter that we “live in a sea of energy.” The way we live our lives, our health, our mental capabilities, our spiritual awareness (or lack thereof), our creativity all stem from the energies surrounding us. Even the friends we choose are a product of our involvement with this vast energy ocean. In the "Circle of Life" in previous newsletters, which are now archived on this web site, the ethereal structure of our sea of energy was defined, and explained. Now we’re going to take a look at how we can make this energy work for us. The first step in that process is to be certain that we are not working against this life force. If we having nagging, low-grade health issues keeping us feeling below par, if our mental attitude is such that we can’t kick start our day with a positive outlook, if our happiness is non-existent, these are examples of how we are affected when we are working against these energies. “Get in the flow” is an old expression everyone has heard, but it has very real meaning. Just by going to bed at night you could be putting yourself at a disadvantage with the energy current. Our lovely, blue planet is surrounded by universal energies that flow northward over its surface. Merely by placing your bed so that the headboard is at the north wall of the bedroom will place you in a |
favorable position all night long to better absorb this energy flow. If the head of your bed is on the south wall you are positioning yourself against the flow night after night. It’s really too bad that architectural colleges don’t know about this to teach designers how to work with these energies. Placing your bed properly is sometimes very difficult to achieve depending on the design and placement of your home’s structure and its floor plan. But if your bed is not properly placed and it is possible to move your bedroom furniture around, wouldn’t it be interesting to do that and see if you feel a difference? I’ve had my bed to the north for so long, I can’t imagine having it anywhere else. Our house is situated on a NW by SE axis. The only way to have my bed north is put it cater-cornered in the room (which I did for a while) but my other half wanted it under the window (we don’t use the headboard) so I have it now on a NE heading and I haven’t had any problem with that arrangement. I did notice a difference a few years ago when we spent time with relatives on a trip and our bed was headed west. We weren’t there long, but my usual morning pep was down a couple of notches and I felt a little sluggish the last couple of mornings before we left. Since I am aware of this natural phenomenon and would be sensitive to any fluctuations in my energy levels I knew what the problem was and didn’t write it off to “. . .maybe I’m catching something.” If I’d had a severe reaction to the placement of the bed, I would’ve countered it with breathing exercises which are geared to raise your energy level.
