Exercise 2: Sensing the Past in Historic Places
Certain locations hold the energy of past events more strongly than others. This exercise will help you attune to the history of places, receiving impressions or emotions tied to significant events that occurred there.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Choose a Historic Location: Visit a place known for its history—an old building, battlefield, or landmark. Ideally, choose a location where significant events or emotions are tied to the space.
Find a Quiet Moment: When you arrive at the location, find a spot where you can sit or stand quietly. Close your eyes and take several deep breaths, grounding yourself in the energy of the place.
Tune Into the Energy of the Place: As you breathe, open your mind to the history of the location. Feel the air around you, the ground beneath you, and the energy flowing through the space. Imagine the layers of time stacked upon one another.
Ask for a Glimpse of the Past: Silently ask the place to reveal to you the events or emotions that linger there. Be open to any flashes of imagery, sounds, or feelings that arise—these are the energetic imprints of past events.
Observe Changes in the Atmosphere: You may notice subtle shifts in temperature, pressure, or emotion as you tune into the past. Pay attention to these sensations as they often indicate where energetic imprints are strongest.
Reflect and Record: Afterward, write down any impressions you received. If possible, research the history of the location to compare your perceptions with documented events.
