Clearing Out Old Energy

Hello, my name is Eden and I am a therapist, Reiki teacher, and meditation guide. Now whether you've found this meditation through one of my Reiki courses or just through the web of life, welcome. These meditations are intended to deepen your relationship to your intuition and gifts, and facilitate an understanding of your own internal landscape. Each meditation is also a tool that can be offered to yourself or a client, so I invite you to notice what shifts within you before, during, after, beyond the meditation, cataloging the effects with words and feelings and sensations. Just letting yourself take note. Allow it to be personal and universal. Let's begin. And today we're going to be exploring the idea of clearing out stuck energy, old energy. Something that no longer serves you, that for one reason or another, your Soma is holding on to. So wherever you are, go ahead and find a long, tall spine, laying down, seated, standing. No wrong way to be here. And while that is often an invitation that you'll find in my meditations, that there's no wrong way to be, I want to invite that in even more deeply, even more fully, during this meditation. Where I'm going to cue multiple different scenarios and pose different questions. And for some, at times, it might feel like you're reaching for an answer or you're making it up. And I invite you to soften into that. To if this only stays in the imaginal, if it's made up, let that be perfect. Let that be information. Remember, when you choose an answer to the questions I pose, at the same time, you could have chosen one of a billion different options. So in a way, you are allowed to trust the thing that you have made up, conjured up, settled on. So just letting anywhere in the physical body that is still tense, let it soften. Finding just a tad more space. And just starting to tune into that inner landscape. Maybe noticing any sensations, any feelings. Maybe you mentally start to scroll through the body, picturing each area in your mind's eye. And I invite you to locate a part of the body that feels tense still. That feels like something is stuck there. Whether that's a physically tight muscle you have. Whether it's envisioning a sort of density somewhere in the body. Whether you feel like an emotion lives somewhere within you and you're working to let it go. Mental, physical, emotional, spiritual. Whatever tenseness lives within you, landing on that place in your body. Choosing somewhere. Again, knowing there's no wrong answers. And just dropping your attention, your awareness to that area of the body. And just taking a minute to map out what you sense and what you see and what you feel when you focus there. Maybe you notice a color or a texture or a weight. Maybe you sense the density or the tightness or the stuckness in your body. Maybe you notice emotions coming up as you have that inner gaze on this place in the body. Perhaps a memory or idea arrives. We'll just take a little moment of silence here to really just let yourself get so present and particular, noticing what's here, personifying it, adding words to your experience. We'll take a few moments right now to hone in. And now that you've gotten a little more familiar with that stuck point within you, bring your hands there if you can. Gently just lay your palms over that area of the body, relaxing any muscles that are tense and just seeing if you can imagine that your palms are just stuck to it and the arms can relax to still hold this area of the body. Now there are a billion different ways to clear old energy and really the secret is to ask. To ask what this energy needs in order to be released. Maybe it wants to be smoothed or padded or brushed. Maybe it wants you to act as if you are excavating it. Maybe it just wants some love and acceptance sent its way. Maybe there's a momentum inside this that you're finding that just wants to be completed so that it can let go and relax. Let it. Just putting all of your awareness in that place and asking, what do you need? And letting that answer move through you, whether that's more sensations in the hands, whether that's a download or a picture in the mind or an analogy or another emotion. Offering something to this density. And if nothing really comes up, know that that's okay. And again, know that you can just choose something to try and see if that shifts anything. But the simplest way to clear is to send love. Send love. What would it feel like if you sent love from the universe to this area of the body? Maybe sending love through your emotional channel, imagining it radiating through the palms. This is this deep remembrance that love is the grand alchemist and that we can't hate anything away truly. Oftentimes, these dense parts of us, whether they are physical, emotional, spiritual, mental difficulties, we've tried to banish them through hate. And it never works. It never works. It might feel gone for a moment, but it's still there in the back of your mind. In the dregs of your heart. And to truly, deeply alchemize our own difficulties in life, in our soma, we need love and care to be present. Then that energy can actually feel free and safe enough to leave. To be recycled back into the universal energy all around us and become something more beautiful. So whether you're following your intuition, where you're led, or you're just focusing on offering love to this area of the body, do it fully. Be so present. Be so present that you can sense the shifts, the needs, the wants, the cares. And maybe, just maybe, you notice this energy start to clear, or shift, or change, or invite in newness. Noticing what has already changed from when you first brought your attention and your palms to that area of the body. And knowing you can stay here for as long as you'd like, but if this feels complete for you, go ahead and release the hands if you haven't already, and take a few slow, deep, recalibrating breaths into the low belly. Relaxing any tense muscles in the face. Releasing the shoulders away from the ears. Deepest breath yet of the entire day, the entire week. This one right here. Yum. Soak it in. Notice what has shifted within you. And then gently, in your own time, in your own way, return to the day, knowing that you can always offer yourself exactly what you need, and that love is that grand alchemist.
