Lesson 33: Energy in the Room

Catching up from another hectic week. The next few weekends are going to be like this but I’ll do my posts when I can.

Friday’s lesson revolves around noticing the energy in the room and being aware. I am to notice which room feels more “contracted”, and be aware of that more over the one that makes me feel good. I am to notice if my breathing changes, but know there is nothing to do, and just notice what’s happening.

Friday all I did was go to work, then I worked from home because we were moving offices, my mate Ben came over and then we went to a gig. The room I felt so free in was at the gig. I like to take notice of the type of people that go to enjoy the music we’re about to embrace. I like that we are well having a shared experience.

Work felt a little contracted because we were forced to pack up our things before our scheduled time. It was a bit of a “thanks for the late notice” type of feeling in the room, but I just got on with it. I didn’t take notice of my breathing, even though I read the lesson beforehand. I just let it flow. Even though there was a feeling of frustration in the room, there was nothing I could do to control it. So the only thing I could do was go with the flow.

I find the only times I feel a sense of “contraction” in the room is when others are angry or frustrated at something. I feel that energy emanating and sometimes I absorb when I don’t want to. It can be very taxing on the body. I try not to let it impact me but sometimes that is easier said than done.  I also try to avoid those type of toxic situations when I can.

Another lesson in awareness and stuck energy… I found that if I practised this too much I might overthink the feeling in the room and then my own feelings. I know to avoid bad feelings in the room but I wouldn’t want to assess every situation as soon as I enter the room. Do you know what I mean? I feel like it’s better to focus on what feels good and trying to move stuck energy in a room if need be.
