Living with Dynamic Energy Awareness – by Dr Ruth Doherty

The human being (and all living things) are made of energy. This isn’t news – physics and chemistry have been telling us this for years. In fact, the very space in which you are reading this is most probably filled with waves- radio waves, TV waves, and communications microwaves, to name but a few. Why do we not perceive them ?

Well, we know that we need a receiver , like a radio – AND that it’s not enough just to have the receiver – it must be PLUGGED IN, SWITCHED ON – and most importantly – TUNED IN. It’s also very important to know where the volume switch is , so that you don’t get overwhelmed by the incoming data!

Let me give you another analogy:
Imagine a 1m cube block of ice in front of you. You can see it, you can feel it. Its difficult to change its shape but if you hit it, it is definitely there!

Imagine we heat this block of ice. It becomes water. This you can still see and feel. Now you can change its shape easily – in fact it requires a container, but it is still visibly and palpably there.

Next we heat the water until it becomes steam. We may see it at first, but eventually the steam is no longer visible. Does that mean that it no longer exists? No – it is still there but it has changed state to one which is outside the range of our normal vision.

By heating the ice to water and then to steam, we have added energy and increased the frequency of vibration of the molecules. By cooling it we have decreased the energy and lowered the frequency of vibration.

In an analogous manner, the physical body may be compared to the block of ice, the charka system to the water and the high frequencies of the outer auric layers to the steam.

These do exist – and by tuning our receiver to the higher frequencies, we become able to clearly perceive the energy fields.There are several ways to perceive energy:
- With your physical sight
- With “Inner Vision” as if you were viewing data from a video camera onto a screen in your mind
- Feeling it ‘physically’
- Feeling it kinaesthetically as vibration
- Knowing where it is precisely but not knowing how (sensing) {?clairscientience}
- Intuiting where it is ( a different process)
- Feeling the feelings of others ( empath)
- Picking up mental data of others ( telepath)
- Picking up data records of others or environments

Each modality is valid but most people will naturally have a stronger ability in one or two. Many of the modalities directly correspond with each other, so that the data which appears to one person visually will present kinaesthetically to another and on inner vision to a third. But the information the data represents should be the same for all three. “Well then, go on – tell us ! What is it like?”

Ooh! I go all tingly just thinking about it! How can I best describe it to you? Its such a total experience that its hard to break it down into its component parts. It’s also often beyond language and difficult to describe – but I’ll try.

Its happening as I sit here writing. I’m aware of multiple levels of myself simultaneously – like layers on a photographic software package. All these layers are 3 dimensional ( at least!). Its like each one ‘hums’ on it s own particular note – vibrating with energy and wellbeing. And the hum of each one effects all the others for the good. All the parts of myself singing in harmony – or like an orchestra in tune playing an uplifting symphony.

My consciousness can focus on a single layer also at any time. This is like moving along a piece of plexiglass. Its transparent but tinged with lucent colour. Some of the colours are soft and swirling, some are like geometrical patterns. Each of these forms contains whole ‘chapters’ of data. If I ‘open’ one of the swirls by focussing my attention on it, a soft feeling of wellbeing washes over me.

If I concentrate on one of the lines, I notice my mental capacities are activated. I am aware of so much data around me – available if I choose to attend to it and not if I don’t ( cf the volume switch!). I hear the birds outside. I hear my young son upstairs. I ‘switch channels’ and feel my sons energy – I can feel his ebullience and sense of fun, I can feel his thoughts and the soft waterfall effect of his laughter.

I feel him tense suddenly in the heart chakra as his father announces he is about to leave for the dump – a weekly man and boy event enjoyed by both - as my inquisitive, inventive ‘supersquirrels’ deposit our garden debris and find wonderful treasures abandoned by others for them to bring home and restore to glory.

I feel him relax as his dad reassures him that if he is quick he will wait for him. I feel the warmth of my husbands smile and the glow in his loving heart as he thinks of our young one. I feel my heart energy expand and reach out to touch Guy, bathing him gently in my love and appreciation for his parenting and partnership. He isn’t always conscious of when this happens to him – he just feels a little brighter and a little better . When he does this strongly for me, if I am quiet and receptive at the time, I will be aware of it and that it is coming from him to me.

I feel both the energy and the consciousness of the other main beings in our household this morning. Our friend T who is a little mentally tired and carrying tension in his shoulders which I can feel across my back as I tune into him. For the sake of ‘auric etiquette’ and because I don’t have his overt permission to sense his energy, I withdraw my consciousness at this stage before I intrude upon him.

Our dog Oscar is a very solid presence and seems to be asleep under the kitchen table. I get the image of him there and when I sense his consciousness its unusually quiet with a peaceful feeling. Oscar is a 30 kg 5 month old Bernese Mountain puppy who normally has two speeds of operation – full go and full stop!

We have three cats – Frodo , Sox and Pudding. Frodo is a seal point Birma (like a cross between a Siamese cat and a cotton wool ball!) Sox and Pud are brothers from the same litter,. but very unalike. They are Burmese crosses. Both are identical Burmese dark grey but Sox has white parts and is short haired while Pudding is the longhaired variety. While the visual differences between them are marked, they are slight when compared to the differences in them from the perspective of energy.

They are totally different – they just feel so individual. I can sense the physical energy and the consciousness of each cat. Their personality and disposition are so evident in the qualities of their energies. Frodo is a very soft, feeling cat. He has a timid disposition and a fine energy boundary. As I tune into him he feels at ease and happy and I get the picture of his cat tower where he seems to be lying in the sun. His energy boundary is porous and I can feel the suns rays on it and the relaxation of his whole being that this produces.

Pudding is a very aware cat who loves to be cuddled. He has great presence and is very confident. No, I don’t mean he behaves confidently. I do mean that he is confident – I can feel his sense of confidence – at least when I ‘ run his data through my computer’ as the American healer Rosalyn Bruyere would say, I feel a feeling which in me would translate as self confidence.

Sox has a very active,mobile energy without being overbuzzed or unpleasant. There’s always lots going on for Soxy Loxy! The world is just so stimulating – always something new to be investigated. He too is confident but with a completely different feel to Pudding. If he was a person he would be a cross between a highwire trapeze artist, an explorer and a suave, debonair lounge lizard in an exclusive colonial club! (Well, I did tell you it was difficult to explain!)
Coming back to earth (literally) I can feel the wonderful deep note of the clear land below me.

My aura extends downwards maybe 4 foot or so in the first 2 layers. (It is further in the outer layers but not as solid). Its like having my tail in the earth! When I move it around, it swishes through the earth and can pick up ‘objects’ like an ultrasound or sonar scanner. Here there’s nothing in the way – Just clear, good energy. That’s one of the reasons we live here. My outer energy extends this morning out beyond the first hills which are about a mile away as the crow flies. This can be larger or smaller depending on how I feel and what Im doing. I need lots of space around me. Otherwise I feel squashed. I’m quite a big being!!

Within these layers I can feel the energy of the land and the rocks, the trees and the fields. If I concentrate hard I can ‘sonar locate’ people, especially if I already know their energy ‘signature’ – the unique set of frequencies that is each one of us. But this takes a lot of concentration to do.

I have a sense of being surrounded by other dimensions also with sometimes very complex contents and patterns. Within, around and throughout all of this, I am aware of The All, The Source, The Divine, God or however you describe that for you. This for me is the most important part. Through energy awareness I come into a small (in area) but direct (in quality) interface with God.

Almost all the time I can feel, touch , be touched by, know and be known by the energy that is the Creator. This makes me feel in the one moment both awed and loved, held close and expanded. Sometimes it is a distant sensation, there but not so solid and sometimes it is so intimate and gentle yet so huge that I find tears streaming down my face.

Through knowing this One, I know that there is meaning and purpose in creation, even when I am too limited to understand the apparent contradictions in events as they present themselves in the everyday world.
