Have you ever explored the power, magic, aliveness, and impact of a place? By place I mean land, location, buildings, and home.
Many of us want to get out of town and fast as coronavirus restrictions ease and people get vaccinated. Understandable given how many of us feel cooped up.
Why do we need a change in place? Is it for...
beauty?
the excitement of a change in scenery? Or routine?
a chance to step away from responsibilities and refresh?
Yes. And also:
Places have unique energy. An energy that influences, shifts, and changes our own. And visa versa.
The other day I noticed a visible shift in my client’s energy since the last time we met. What happened?
She, like many others, is finally traveling. This time she went to water and it shifted her inner landscape. Suddenly she had more space to be with some of the challenging healing themes we’ve been working with. And even though she was still working remotely for her work, she felt different.
“I feel more expansive,” she explained. She described how the constriction since our last chat had lessened.
“Do you know why?” I asked. She paused and looked at me in anticipation of my answer.
That's when I said…
Each landscape we step into includes new beings and spirits. In other words, places are alive and full of community palpable to many of us.
This felt community includes:
Ancestors of the land that serve as guardians and guides.
Plants, trees, and animals that call the place home.
Predominant elemental beings like water at the beach or earth in the desert.
Ancient beings like the spirits of a mountain or river.
The essence of a home, building, or dwelling.
Any unwell, troubled, or lost human spirits.
Gnarly, wild, neutral, and pleasant other ancient beings.
And ancient powers that have been in or interacting with a place for a VERY long time.
This interconnection of aliveness interacts and communicates with us. Impacting us as we impact the place we are in.
In my work, I usually see this impact happen unconsciously without us connecting the dots.
For example, when the energy of a place impacts a person’s actions or decisions. But they don't consider "who" influenced their choice or why. Like..
A place you have a feeling to stay away from and decide to avoid. Or a nagging creepy feeling in a cabin you rent.
A place you feel at home in and exhale in release.
Or a place that suddenly reawakens your creativity and gets you writing again.
On this week’s episode of Tune In with Marci, I’m exploring the power and magic of spirits of place.
I discuss:
Why and how spirits of place impact us.
Some of my favorite memories of collaborating with spirits of place.
What consent and boundaries have to do with place.
And some simple steps to start relating with these beings.
