When I give an energy therapy session, I perform an energy sensing technique with my hands that can give me some good insights to help me focus on areas that need extra attention. I receive messages through the channels in my hands. But have you ever done this on an inanimate object?

Have you ever been drawn to a place yet did not know why? Have you ever gone to a location, a building, a city, a lake and “felt” the energy? You felt connected, at ease, like you were home? When that happened, did you take the time to figure out why?

Earlier this month I was on a glorious vacation in Scotland. Initially I was hesitant to book the vacation, but then something bigger took over and I knew I needed to go. As soon as I landed on Scottish ground, I knew I was with “my” energy … I knew that I was “home.” With every location, castle, and loch that I visited, it felt natural; connecting with people was effortless. This is when you know that you are in an energetically compatible location; a place where you will thrive.

I also spent time energy sensing on several castles. You do not have to be attuned to energy healing to sense energy from locations, but if you are attuned you will be more receptive. It’s a wonderful method to pick up messages, history, feelings from the past; it’s a way to receive natural guidance. All you have to do is place your hands on the object or even just sit quietly in the location and open yourself to listening with all of your senses.

One castle that I energy sensed on was the Eilean Donan castle (one of the most photographed castles in the world that was also featured in the movie Made of Honor with Patrick Dempsey). As I laid my hands on the exterior walls, and even pressed my ear against the wall, I could feel what the castle wanted to tell me. Many of the messages were personal, but I felt that the castle had suffered through bad times but was energetically breathing a sigh of relief at the calm of the present; an overall sense of joy and frivolity.

I also energy sensed on the ruins of the Dundonald Castle. I felt the lingering of pain, loss, destruction, and sadness. I could feel the castle weeping. So I spent some time infusing Reiki into the castle walls in an effort to heal whatever had happened. Both castles had suffered numerous battles and losses, so why was one happy and the other sad? I believe that the infusion of energy from curious tourists is contributing to the energy of the castles. Eilean Donan is one of the most popular castles in Scotland and has hundreds of thousands of visitors a year; whereas Dundonald is not as popular so has fewer tourists sharing their energy.

Sounds crazy, right? To those who are intuitive and understand energy, this makes sense that we leave our energy everywhere we go. To the rest, it may sound bonkers. So here’s my wish … the next time you are drawn to a vacation location or a particular building, spend a little time to ask yourself why and then just relax and sit in the energy of that location and building to feel the message. Leave a little of your energy behind so that you are always connected with the location. When you can open yourself to the messages of locations, it will give you more information about who you are!

I’d love to hear from you if you’ve experienced this before!
