clearing energy


In addition to the previous blog post, came this understanding.

When two or more people live together, maybe also work together, it can be compared to using the same workshop, as artist painters.
When they are living/working closely together, it can even be compared to using the same table on a regular basis.

Now picture that there is a person who doesn’t, for whatever reason, clean his dirty brushes in his own jar, but decides to dip them regularly into the jars of fresh water of the other(s)?

After a while, the other(s) will start to protest here and there, won’t they?
“Can you please make sure you clear your own stuff in your own jars, thank you!”
shall be the pivot of uttering some complaints.

Clearing and refreshing the jars is not much of an effort, no rocket science at all.
So why do they complain?
Why does developing a pattern of leaving that task always to another, not go down so well in the long run?

Of course, in a harmonious co-operative team:

  • cleaning the energetic jars with the social mental emotional residue muck, can be done ‘several at the time’ and
  • people will take turns to volunteer to do so.
  • No-one needs extensive ‘ thanks!’ for that. It is a simple friendly in a smooth workflow and will automatically be reciprocated without any fuss too, so
  • everybody can have the pleasure of staying in the flow of the work and play, without having to interrupt it for clearing their own jar individually every single time, when it gets troubled.
  • it is even perfectly OK, to dip your dirty brush into someone else's clean jar every now and then.

But if this natural automatic reciprocation is not happening and it is within in the team always the same people doing the energetic clearing up after the very same other people,  to keep the mutual energetic space workable and clean….. than this pattern does affect peace and harmoney on a very deep level: the sense of team spirit.

When it occurs temporarily, or for an objectively Very Good Reason where it is clear that a team member can’t be  contributing to this part of the co-operation ( but shows then genuine appreciation for being enabled by others to still make clear paintings in this mutual workspace), there will still enough foundation for peace and harmoney.
For it is part of team spirit, to give (simple) support to those who really can’t perform a task.

The thing is now that clearing energy, is a bit different from taking dirty mugs to the kitchen, or getting a round of coffee for everyone.
Not that much, if it is always the same people doing that for the very same others…….a similar undermining of the sense of team spirit is going on!
In this case, clearing your/an energy jar is not a physical ‘activity’, but a meta-physical procedure, that is, as I understand it, an intrinsically part of being alive, it is a soul capacity.
Anyone alive can ‘do’ it.

It is even my understanding that a person who doesn’t clear energy in his own here-and-now in a healthy natural way, for himself and regularly for the people he is actually sharing the same energetic space with….. will experience feeling less and less alive, well functioning as a fully healthy capable human being.

The reverse is, to my mind,  also true.

When one feels to need to make a major change in life, go somewhere else, do something else, leave everything behind, because you feel dull and numb and out of sorts, ‘ not happy’ and experiences all sorts of ‘lack’…. having endless lists of ‘things’ that are missing now, that would really make you happy….

Give a try to consciously clearing your own energy jars!

Of course you can probably find a new place where people like to welcome you on the team.
Why?
For you are so good in telling them nice things about their works of art and about all the other fantastic skills you see in them, for instance. People like hearing that.
And you can continue the habit to let other people do the energy jar clearing for you.
Trust that they will feel good about themselves for it…… until……. they don’t do it with a smile anymore and start wondering (out loud) what you actually are contributing to energise the team spirit of this team…...

So, yes... freedom of choice.
But the answers to these questions:
  • in who's jar(s)  do I clear my dirty life-residu brushes and 
  • how often you I refresh my own jar
  • how often do I recipricate clearing jars on my here-and-now team...
....are likely to have a lot of impact on the quality of life as you experience it.

How to refresh your clear energy jar?
Adding high-frequent small breaks, where you disconnect from all activities and relax your mind.
Mini-me-time.
