Many people are feeling frustrated at a sense of seeming 'stuckness', stagnation, or inactivity in some area of their lives, including in their businesses or livelihoods. There are also those who wonder why the 'law of attraction' or other manifesting techniques don't seem to be working for them.

A good number of people might say, "Well, it's the recessionary economy", and that's certainly one example of energy being blocked. And where 'law of attraction' or other intentional or goal-setting attempts seemed to be blocked or delayed, there is also the good possibility of an energy block.

Often, in times like these, the default pattern is to move into fear and scarcity mode, which its attendant negative thinking and activity that further restricts and limits the flow. We might begin to doubt, second-guess ourselves, shrink our vision, become frustrated and overly focused on what isn't happening and what's wrong.

While these aren't necessarily bad questions to ask, they're not helpful if they're your dominant thought habit, and there are better quality questions to ask. And while it's great to look at the surface for things to adjust or change, it's vital to go within, connect with intuition and higher guidance, and work with the seeming blockages at a subtle-energy level.

At its simplest and most elegant, energy wants to move, to flow. And everything we see around us, including ourselves, is energy. It's just a matter of whether it's vibrating quickly or slowly, lightly or more dense. So if everything is energy, and something seems blocked, hindered, or stuck in an unhelpful place or pattern, the place to address it most powerfully is at an energetic level.

How do we work at the energetic level for movement on the surface, or in our experience?

One precept of energy work is 'where thought goes, energy flows'. From my own experience, I'd say, 'where Word goes, energy flows' -- 'Word' meaning anything that vibrates or animates energy, including thought but also feeling, expressed words, physical habits, and beliefs. Just as we get what we ask for, we attract or match up with what we're vibrating energetically, and often, that sticking point is within the energy field of the person or enterprise.

Another precept of energy work is that life is a mirror reflecting information back to you. This doesn't mean that other people aren't having their own experiences, or don't have their own 'stuff' to deal with. It doesn't mean we're the only being in the Universe. And it doesn't put an emphasis on 'what's wrong'.

What it means is that if we're experiencing something and we'd prefer to be experiencing something else, rather than to look outside of ourselves for something (or often, someone) else to change, we come back into our own center, into our own wisdom and energy, and look at what needs to be cleared or energized in order to facilitate a different perception or experience.

In energy work, from a variety of traditions, there are many ways to explore, shift, or cultivate energy patterns, using intuition, sensory wisdom, visualization, journeying, guided imagery, inner dialogue, vibrational modalities, movement, and working with helping spirits or energies (which, according to tradition, may be within you or around you).

Supportive practices include presence and attention to patterns of thought and speech, and aligned action. Always we do this from an intention of sacred space, the highest good for all beings, and in alignment with Divine Love.

Assessing, discerning & shifting energy for an individual, group, or enterprise

With an individual, or for a business or organization (or even group), each has its own energy, once created, and in this way takes on a life of its own, according to its instructions or programming. Using a variety of energy work modalities or techniques can help to identify energetic sources of an issue or question, which helps to discern the approaches for shifting the energy so it flows differently.

For example, say you have a business that you started some time ago, and experienced a shift in focus or a very challenging time, and are now experiencing what seems to be confusion or sluggishness in the business. Other patterns could include perpetual communication problems, financial ups and downs, or other issues.

While resolution of each of these will ultimately include specific actions, addressing the underlying energy patterns or root causes will help shift the pattern of having the issue seemingly resolved only to have it arise again, and again, and again. In fact, if this is the case, addressing it at an energetic level is a necessity.

So as in energy work with an individual, looking at a business from an energetic perspective involves looking at the energy of its original 'marching orders' or instructions -- the energy patterns instilled in it at its inception, or woven into it at some pivotal point over its life cycle.

If the instructions or 'contracts' are outdated, or there are conflicting instructions or contracts -- within either the business energy itself or in its owner or other person of significant influence -- there will be imbalances or seeming problems that manifest themselves on the surface in day to day activities or patterns of experience. Assessing the energetics might also yield insight about the greater purpose about the issue or cycle, and the opportunity for development that it presents.

Working with the subtle energy, and then discerning the wisest course of change and action on the surface or experience level, offers a powerful combination for cultivating a new clarity, momentum, and energy shift of the business, or the individual. By shifting and cultivating the underlying energy, amazing things happen!
