Mini-course Learn the Laying on of Hands Day 2 - The Energies — YouTube from the CEC Library

The energy in the universe and the energy produced by human beings are fundamental to understanding laying on of hands. The first energy is immanent energy, which permeates the universe without being codified by any intelligent consciousness. The energy of plants, for example, has no emotional codification—it is not affected by emotional processes.

It is beneficial to be near trees, groves, waterfalls, and places with a lot of wind. These environments contain immanent energy, which has not been codified by anyone, and it is this energy that we should absorb through our chakras for vitalization and happiness, ensuring good-quality material in our organism. In large urban centers, such as São Paulo, the energies exteriorized by people end up "contaminating" the environment, creating an energetic cloud loaded with emotional processes.

Imagine a day on the subway: people are hardly ever happy and carefree. They carry worries, delays, the search for a job, or discontentments, generating imbalanced energies. We remain immersed in those energies, and in places such as psychiatric hospitals, where the energies are pathological and dense, we can feel the negative impact. On the other hand, in places with subtle energy that is not codified by emotions—such as anger, jealousy, envy, or euphoria—we feel well-being. The energy emitted on a soccer field, where everyone shouts and jumps, is similar to the energy of anger or rage, produced in the lowest frequencies of the chakras. Although we may feel euphoric at parties, that euphoria is similar to the one caused by drugs: it accelerates the chakras and generates instability.

Being healthy and happy involves maintaining energetic linearity, which is not achieved with techniques alone. Energy is everywhere, and the composition of the universe is essentially energetic. Through our thoughts and our way of being, we can improve or worsen that energy, capturing it constantly through the chakras. When we are in places with pure and immanent energies, we feel happiness and revitalization. Dense energies travel slowly through our body, causing malaise. In places with immanent energy, such as under a tree, we feel revitalization because of the rapid circulation of subtle energy in our energetic system.

Knowing the energies is crucial. Dense energies are produced in the lower chakras: spleen, navel, base, and hepatic. Middling energies—neither emotional nor subtle—are in the lowest frequencies of the heart chakra, which connects with the preceding and the following chakras. Emotional chakras can contaminate the lower part of the heart chakra, causing the heart to race. The higher frequencies of the heart chakra are stable and linked to the laryngeal chakra.

We must value all the energies generated by the chakras, since they all work with varying intensities. A person's level of evolution can be assessed by their most active chakra. The energies captured by the chakras are exteriorized into the environment. Everyone receives energy, retains part of it for functioning, and exteriorizes the excess. For every thought emitted, a mental energy is sent out, especially when imagining, using the energies of the frontal chakra.

If you are very emotional, you will be working with emotional chakras, producing emotional energies. We often become emotional in happy moments, thinking that this is fantastic. However, when you become emotional, you activate lower chakras, generating dense and unhealthy energies. The best energies arise naturally when we are enlightened, allowing a linear life in response to the environment.

Stimuli from the environment can generate emotional responses or only responses at the level of the chakra of feeling, which are more real. To learn more about energy, experiment with plants: place your hands close to them and try to feel what happens. Write down any variation of energy you perceive. Also try placing your hand on the ground or in ice-cold water. Remember that everything is energy, including water, regardless of how fast it moves internally. Then place your hand in warm water and feel the difference. If you are in a place with a lot of wind, feel the wind and learn from it.

The chakras work with different types of energy. The base chakra deals with solid and pasty energies and even with the wind. It identifies any energy that touches the body. Water, for example, is a liquid energy that the base chakra is able to deal with and respond to. The response depends on the chakra's competence. The crown chakra, in turn, makes a different reading. Try pouring water over your head and notice the difference in perception between the base and crown chakras. That difference can also be noticed when feeling the wind on your face and on your legs.

If you are very emotional, that difference will be less noticeable. However, if your consciousness is in the upper part of the heart chakra or above, it will be clear. Perception can be expanded and improved by working with higher chakras. This is similar to clairvoyance, where one person sees more details in a landscape than another.

Energy is the basis of everything, including in laying on of hands. If you are upset or nervous, it is not a good idea to do laying on of hands, because the energy exteriorized will be of a poor pattern. If you are happy, the energy will be better. Other things also affect our energies, such as alcoholic beverages, which generate alcohol-related energies, and smoking, which affects the energy we exteriorize. It is important to purify the body of physical and chemical substances and of dysfunctional emotional processes in order to exteriorize organized energies.

Eating heavy foods also affects the energy, activating the spleen chakra and generating much more emotional energy. Although any energy can be good with knowledge, it is better to follow the rule that denser energies are heavy and circulate poorly, while higher energies are subtle and circulate well. Exalting subtle energies through thoughts is important. Saying a prayer before laying on of hands can stabilize the energies. To exteriorize the best energies, have a heart of thankfulness. Recognize everything you have and receive, and give thanks for it. Thankfulness opens the chakras, improves the circulation of energy, and allows the spiritual helpers to help in the assistential work. With an open heart, you can do great work.
