21 - All Energy, Only Energy ...
At the very first EmoTrance seminar I ever conducted we had talked about energy
nutrition and the concept that ALL energies one might encounter in any
environment have natural channels and pathways for us to experience them, and to
use them.
Of course, many of the participants got scared at that and began to wonder
immediately if there weren’t bad energies, citing many examples of energies of
people they found painful or disturbing, but I did not want them to go to lunch
whilst still believing in a divided world of good and bad.
There simply are NO bad clouds, no good ones either; there are no good stars or
bad ones, you cannot stand in the rain and go, “Hey look, there goes another bad
one!” as the drops pass by, and in the same vein, there really are no good or
bad energies.
There is ONLY energy. To divide things up with judgement is another one of these
fatal operating errors of our consciousness, trained into a black-white delusion
when even the small screen of my laptop computer here manages 12 million colours
with ease.
One person asked, “But what of energies that hurt me, that make me sick?”
My take on this subject is that of course a person can be ALLERGIC to energies,
but that this only happens when there were painful experiences with that type of
energy that caused wounds we still carry around with us to this day.
I told them that salt water is great for your skin – but if you have an open
wound, it HURTS like hell. That’s the same with energies, and it isn’t a bad
thing, but a very USEFUL one instead – look! Now we know where there is an
injury, now we can heal it, so I can get on with my life and have it work as
well as it should.
When the group returned from lunch, excited, laughing and chatting, one told the
following story.
He had entered a pub and ordered a snack lunch, sat down with some people from
the course to wait when all of a sudden, music was blasted into the room, very
loud and a kind of music the gentleman had truly hated all his life.
Normally he
would have left immediately and without even looking back, but on this occasion
he knew that if he did, he would not be able to get any lunch at all because it
was already too late to start again somewhere else.
One of his fellow participants laughed and said, “Where do you feel that music
in your body? Soften and flow!” which is the catch phrase of EmoTrance, and so
they got together for a practise exercise, right there in the pub, with the
“awful music” as the constant reminder as to what they were working on.
The
gentleman said, “It was really amazing! I have been running from this kind of
music, this kind of culture for many years, it made my head hurt, badly. There
was something stuck in my forehead, but when we got it to move and the music
flowed right in, through and out, it was as though I was being charged with
electricity, so much so I thought I’d explode with it! I couldn’t sit still, I
had to get up and dance – right there, in front of everyone, in that pub! Me!
It’s – inconceivable!”
Now, that may not sound particularly earth shattering, but it really is a very
good example to illustrate our motto – “But it really is ... ONLY AN ENERGY!”
Since that day, I have personally used this music-flowing dozens of times. It
really is a fine thing to be able to watch TV, be at a party, in a pub or club,
in a restaurant or just have the radio turned on – and all the music has become
simply AN ENERGY that can fill me with excitement and new experiences.
No-one can frighten me with jungle, opera, country, heavy metal, hard house,
experimental jazz any longer, and even folk songs make me laugh and clap my
hands in delight now.
It is really and truly, only a form of energy – and let us not forget that
aspect of learning through the flow of energy as well. I have had experiences
where by opening to a particular form of music I found myself far less estranged
and more understanding of the cultures from which they came, and that is a
particularly valuable enhancement and addition to my life.
