Aligning Energies

The Energies of Objects

To Nina, even a chair, a desk, or a statuette has energy. She says that this energy can be seen with your physical eyes, but that it shows up better when your eyes are shut. (Why is it that when you do spiritual work you see better with the lights down?) She describes the energy as a glow that occupies the same space as the piece of furniture, say, but which also emanates from the object as a long ribbon of color. This "ribbon" interacts not only with other objects but also with the ribbons which emanate from them, too.

Examples of Different Energies

Different colors indicate different qualities attached to the piece of furniture, different "personalities", so to speak. A sideboard cabinet whose glow and ribbon are rusty-brown is argumentative: it does not "play well with others". The energy from that piece of furniture ought to be kept away from any similarly colored piece, an armchair, say, or that armchair's ribbons.

There are pieces of furniture with a placid energy, however, and these can safely be placed in the path of the "argumentative" ribbons, for they will, as Nina puts it, "ignore" the trouble-maker.

The Task of Removing Energy Conflicts

A person who, like Nina, sees the energy of objects will find it a straightforward task to arrange furniture and decorations to eliminate clashes of energy. A person without that ability will have to go about it hit or miss. Unfortunately, Nina says, "energy wars" inside a home can have consequences; they can affect adversely the animals, plants, and humans who live there: they may fail to thrive and never feel quite peaceful, always on edge and irritable.

Nina can see the energies of the furnishings within your home from a distance and without a picture. In fact, she says, she would rather NOT have you describe your possessions to her in great detail, out of respect for your privacy and to avoid being suspected of unworthy motives. All she needs is a brief description of the relevant rooms in your home written or printed on a piece of clean, previously unused white paper.

The important rooms are the living room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom, and bedrooms — you may try doing some or all of them.

A Sample Description of a Room

For each room write down a description like this:

Living room. Front door on south side, sliding glass doors to deck on west, connects to dining room on north, solid wall on east. Pale cream-colored walls. Glass-fronted wooden breakfront cabinet (with 3 drawers and 2 doors below) against east wall. This contains oriental porcelain and a display of mineral crystals. Beside it, to the north, a narrow display cabinet painted barn red with floral decoration. It has a glassed door above and 3 small drawers below. This holds candles, a Buddha, small vases; on top are figurines (wooden elephant, glass elephant, frogs, turtles) and family photographs. On north wall, to the left of the entrance to dining room, a wall shelf with 19th century books, sliced geodes, angel, turtle, bird, and lizard statuettes.

And so on.

Mention pillows, too, and the design and kind of fabric used for upholstery. Mention pictures on the wall. If you know that a particular object has been the cause of a dispute, you may mention that as well, although Nina will in all likelihood pick up this fact when she "takes a look".

What Nina Will Do for You

Nina will solve the puzzle of what to put where for you. It probably would be better to have her describe her solution to you herself, as there are likely to be details of placement that I would forget to ask her about.

Should Some of Your Objects be Spiritually Cleaned?

The energies of objects can be changed. That sideboard with the rusty-brown energy spoken of above could be spiritually cleaned, and afterwards it could probably be placed anywhere at all without disturbing the energy of other pieces. You may want to consider having Nina clean a piece of furniture or a decoration that has disruptive energy. See the "Cleaning Things and Places" page on this site for more information.
