L G Series Part 44: Tuning Space, Part 2

Tuning space is a skill that supports attending to Guidance. You use the area around you to magnify your ability to receive information from your environment.

Tuning space by intentional placement of objects is similar to tuning a musical instrument. You are working with energy resonance related to spatial relationships rather than qualities of sound.

You do not need to use a formal system to activate the space around you–although you may enjoy learning and practicing. Systems are formalized ways to sensitize yourself to possibility.

Sacred Geometry creates positive energy and specialized atmospheres through the relationship of objects and shapes. Feng Shui is used to “tune” or harmonize environments in order to:

  • Bring forth specific potentials
  • Decrease undesirable and increase positive influences
  • Select environments that support certain types of experience
  • Promote personal development

Again, you do not need to use a system. You can also explore simply by using your innate sensitivity to energy and your Guidance, paying attention to how you respond to changes in your environment.

The energy in a physical location holds specific intelligence and latent potentialities that impact what it is possible to create within that environment. A charged place like an energy portal or power spot holds different possibilities than a library or a bar.

Working with the spaces you occupy changes the potentials for what can occur in that space.

Exactly how we tune space depends on the use to which we intend to put it.

When you tune space you are tuning yourself, just as an excellent musician trains ear, heart and mind while tuning an instrument. You are reaching into your sensing function, opening yourself, and discovering what shifts as your environment is changed. This practice develops the ability to use exterior space to make adjustments to the way you feel inside. Our environments reflect and impact consciousness.

Aim to tune the spaces you occupy in a way that powerfully evokes feelings, images, and actions that invite the possibilities you want to bring forth. For example, if you want to experience peace and increased concentration, bring in energies and images that evoke within you feelings of openness, stillness and focus.

I have been talking about the esoteric aspects of tuning space. Intentional use of space is also a practical skill. It shows up in perfectly mundane contexts. For example, I was at a field and track while a friend played soccer. I noticed that in the sport-saturated and dedicated atmosphere I was able to run and even to kick the soccer ball in ways I had never done before.

Examples of naturally tuning space:

  • Cleaning the kitchen before you cook
  • Decorating your home for a holiday
  • Setting the tone for business in your office by removing personal affects
  • Getting things like newspapers and electronics out of the bedroom
  • Dedicating an area for reading or writing, to assist with focus
  • Flowers and candles for a romantic atmosphere
  • Clearing out closets, paper piles, and old things to release stagnant energy
  • Spring cleaning

If you are establishing a healing center, making a meditation spot, or creating an altar you will obviously use more subtle skills and intention than day-to-day tasks require.

Some objects and conditions bring down the vibration in a room:

  • Soon-to-decompose gunk in sink strainers
  • Dirty toilets
  • Anything stagnant or neglected like piles of paper or unfinished projects
  • Anything associated with bad memories
  • Things that evoke resistance

A friend recently cleaned his blocked gutters. His entire home feels notably different from removing this low-vibration, stuck energy.

Bringing in light, clean air, fresh flowers, appropriate colors, and objects of beauty help to establish positive energy almost anywhere.

Using the way we interact with the spaces in our lives to invoke specific energies is a wonderful way to live with awareness. This practice establishes an active, living, and supportive relationship with our environment.

What kind of environment have YOU created with intention, for a particular purpose?

How did this space impact you?
