The concept of "moving energy" interests me. I'm thinking of it in a certain context----that of being in a situation in which negative energy is apparent, and then using our ability to change it to something more positive----whether through humor, a show of compassion, a simple smile, a deep breath, or some other means. Our intellect might call this manipulation, but I like the more expansive idea that a person can move energy.
We can all think of examples when we've done this (and also when we wished we could have). It may occur by simply focusing elsewhere: you are with someone who is in a terrible mood, energetically grumpy, and instead of going down that path, you turn your eyes to the window, look outside, see a robin hopping on the ground, and suddenly----you're feeling better and the shift in energy occurs. Perhaps the grumpy person feels better, too.
I'm eager to learn more about rituals that can cleanse spaces of this sort of heavy energy.
