Energy Management
August 8, 2009
A couple of friends stayed with me for a couple of days and both expressed a horror of having to fill in forms. One said that she was overwhelmed by the thought of having to deal with paperwork and that it throws her into chaos.
My advice was that they look at this in terms of energy management. The process of dealing with paperwork is no more difficult that dealing with any other aspect of modern life. Of course, we want to complete the job in the shortest time possible but there is a simple way to ensure that the most disliked jobs are included in the energy flow of our daily routines.
For my friends I suggested the following -
- they realise that everything they do is energetically based
- they take charge of the situation rather than be overwhelmed by it
- they engage with paperwork as an exploration activity rather than a mental difficulty
- that they consciously engage with the organisation behind the paperwork, e.g. HM Revenue for tax returns, so that they can choose to work with the potential of the organisation.
When we work with potential of an organisation we consciously interact with its energy form and its own desire for change. By treating an organisation as a sentient being it can tell us the reason why it was created, how it is energetically being run, what its long-term future is, and what current shifts need to take place to bring that organisation to the next levels of its own growth.
With that level of understanding and perspective, form filling is no longer an activity that must be done: it becomes a way of understanding why we do what we do, realising that there are better ways for us to interact with everything.
My final remark was that energy confusion occurs when we activate a mental belief that we can’t do something or that we dislike doing it. Energetically we are competent to do any activity and we have choice in how to go about it. So the suggestion that worked best for my friends was when I said that they should no longer deal with forms as objects – they should treat forms as sentient beings.
The act of giving sentiency to inanimate objects, actually allows us to be more fully competent and in our natural energy flow. It stops us from thinking and allows us to interact with a greater level of intelligence than we might consider possible.
Don’t believe me? Then try this. When you have trouble with any piece of machinery or come across any situation that you feel is beyond you then, instead of allowing yourself to be annoyed or overwhelmed, you ask to be put in touch with the intelligence that can tell you more about the problem or situation.
You allow yourself to know what to do and how to be – and then you orient to what needs to be done. Your energy orientation is such that you now engage with all parts of your life rather than construct problems for yourself.
