In a book called “A Stroke of Insight”, Dr Jill Bolte Taylor talks about how she realised, as a Doctor, that her body was suffering a stroke, and knew exactly what steps would happen in her body, witnessing it all happen from within herself.
She talks about how while she was in hospital being looked after by nurses, she was totally aware of the energy they were bringing into the room.
While she wasn’t able to see them or speak to them, she could completely feel their presence. 🙌🏻
She describes how some would just busily walk in the room, checking her stats, running from client to client, while some would walk in gently, kindly touching her on the foot and explaining what they were there for, even when she was unresponsive.
As a result of this, later on she put up a note on the door saying “please be responsible for the energy you bring into the room.” 💞
This is a powerful statement and one that can be transferred to any area of our life.
During the 18 years I spent working as a Parole Officer, I was always hyper-aware of the energy I was bringing to the room.
I started doing energy work a couple of years before getting into Corrections and coaching, and have always had a very natural ability to feel into the energy of not just people, but spaces too. 🤗
Working in offices, prisons, crime scenes and people’s homes, often surrounded by violence and individuals experiencing psychosis, I knew that without a doubt, I could either have a positive or negative impact on the space and the people in it depending on the energy I was bringing, my thoughts, my actions and my words.
We are, at all times, 100% responsible for the energy we bring into the room, wherever the room may be.
It’s always possible, no matter what the situation, to act in a way where you come from a place of kindness and respect, regardless or not of whether that same energy is coming back to you.
Sometimes, with some people, that means the kindest and most respectful thing you can do is walk away (instead of self-abandoning). 👋🏼
Take responsibility for your energy and how it impacts others. Do what you need to do to take care of yourself if you’re not feeling good, and make an effort to always be kind to others.
Obviously, some people are just dicks – but instead of being a dick back and lowering yourself to their standard, bring your best self forward (while always having strong boundaries).
I’ve always found that keeping on top on my energy hygiene massively helps with this – being an energy practitioner myself who teaches Reiki workshops, I do self-healing several times a week and get weekly healings plus kinesiology sessions from others.
Keeping my energy field clear is a big part of my integrity as a practitioner and keeping myself responsible for the energy I’m bringing to the room when working with others. 💫
If you feel like this is an area you’d like support in, drop me a message and let’s chat about how energy work can help you.
Catcha on the flip side, where we focus on high-vibing,
“As someone experienced with energy work it’s always refreshing to receive a treatment from Carly as there is no rule book with regards to how a session may go. When the “way” to go can be dictated from the source, Carly flows and adapts and you end up getting something more powerful and unexpected that you ever would have dreamed for. Knowing your healer or therapist has such a strong open connection, and has such pure, heartfelt intention to make someones’ day that much brighter makes each encounter something very special. I always leave Carly knowing that my spirit and physical body are singing the right tune, ready and waiting for what comes my way.”
