Energetic formations – when there's something in the house (and no, it's not a ghost)

Sometimes I arrive at the homes of people I don't know, and my first encounter with the house is always intriguing:

At first I notice the design (yes, I'm a very visual person and I love design), and then – I notice the energy of the house. As I walk, I sometimes reach my hand out in a way that doesn't draw attention, and I sense what the house has to tell.

Sometimes I see the memories of those who live in the house, and sometimes I feel what they experience throughout the day.

Energy has a quality I like to describe, with a bit of humor, as “sticky.” You read that right, dear readers. Energy is a sticky thing.

In other words – energy is something that lingers on things.

Have you ever felt a strong emotion? It's quite likely that the energetic layer of your emotion remained in the place where you were, perhaps on the objects you held or the clothes you wore.

A little like the scent that lingers after a person visits a certain place, energy has the ability to leave behind an “energetic formation” that contains within it the emotion we felt.

For example, let's look at the following interesting story, which involves my cat Layla and the apartment where I live.

One day I saw my cat walking down the hallway of the apartment where I live.

This could have been something completely unremarkable, except for one fact: Layla hadn't lived in my home for several years. And what's more, the cat I saw crossing the hallway had no body!

The strange entity that passed through the hallway was not Layla's ghost, because Layla was alive! She was in fact living happily at my mother's house, and I was very surprised to see her energetic body crossing the hallway.

After a few weeks, and after several encounters with the unclear creature, I approached my partner.

“Nadav, tell me…” I began. “Did you happen to see a strange entity crossing the hallway?” I asked.

“Yes,” he answered briefly. “It was a cat. I think it was Layla.” I almost fell off my chair. “You saw her too???” I asked in surprise.

“Yes,” he answered briefly, as usual.

I understood what I had to do, and I gently approached the hallway.

“Laaaayla…” I said quietly. “Layla?” I repeated. And suddenly, that same energetic formation stood before me. A clear sense of my cat, standing in front of me in the hallway!

I reached out my hand as if to pet her, and I felt.

She felt frightened and trapped. “You're not here! Where are you?” she said in a panic.

And then I understood. Layla had lived alone in my home for a few months, and she was very frightened when we weren't home. That's why, when we had to return her to my mother, she made an unbelievable mess all over the house.

“Layla,” I said gently, “go back to your body.”

She disappeared with relief and left our home, and we haven't seen her since.

Energetic formations are a natural phenomenon that exists as an integral part of the world.

We like to see the world as separate, as a collection of things, people, and living creatures moving about without any shared connection or bond. But in the energetic world, reality looks a little different.

In the energetic world, things are connected.

The energetic world is built like an ocean. A single drop can distinguish itself from the rest, but in the bigger picture everything is part of that same ocean. In the energetic world there is no separation between one thing and another. And so it makes sense, and is possible, for emotions and thoughts to remain in the space after they appear, available to be read by anyone who knows how to read them.

Energy is not affected by time, nor by space, and therefore those same energetic formations can be read even days – and sometimes even years – after they appear!

But how do you learn to read those energies?

To begin with, I recommend that you learn energy work from the ground up. After you develop your basic sensing abilities, you'll be able to open your hands and sense places, people, and even new spaces that you arrive at.

Sometimes you'll simply feel subtle, almost imperceptible sensations; sometimes you'll feel strong sensations that call for a “cleansing” or a rebalancing with sage smoke. Experiment and trust your intuition, and your abilities will develop over time.

In summary, are energetic formations entities? Not exactly.

Entities are creatures with independent consciousness and thought. At times they can develop out of a powerful emotional memory (or energetic formation), but most often they live separately from the place and have a train of thought of their own. You can speak with entities, and from some of them you can learn quite a lot! If they're the kind worth learning from.
