The Power of Figure 8s

In the intricate tapestry of our energy systems, the graceful dance of figure-eight patterns unfolds. From the outer expanse of our aura to the profound depths of our foundational energetic matrix, these patterns, aptly named the 'Celtic Weave' by Donna Eden, mirror the mesmerizing interplay found in Celtic knotwork designs.
Considered an indispensable element in unraveling the grand puzzle of our energy anatomy, these figure eights are woven intricately throughout every facet of our being. Whether manifesting in the double helix of our DNA, coursing through meridians, or threading through chakras, our aura emerges as a dynamic canvas, displaying the most elaborate Celtic knot imagery.
The figure eights, in their varied sizes and dimensions, traverse vertically and horizontally, some barely perceptible, while others span from beneath our feet to above our heads in a majestic sweep. Existing in both 3D and 2D realms, they move with distinctive rhythms, some swift and others unhurried, creating a spectacle of wonder.
What purpose do these figure eights serve, one might ponder?
Primarily, they serve two crucial functions:
To Connect:
These figure-eight patterns forge connections within individual energy systems and act as the cohesive link between different energy systems. They serve as the adhesive that binds these systems together.
Vital for connecting the left and right, front and back, and top and bottom of our bodies, they act as a unifying force.
Techniques such as waving arms in figure eights or drawing them with both hands simultaneously, as practiced in educational kinesiology and with dyslexic children, underscore the importance of maintaining this connection for neurological well-being.
To Carry Information:
Figure eights function as the diligent workers within our energy bodies, akin to worker bees. Imagined as silver eights flying through our systems, they bear an energetic template of light that is continuously activated and reinforced.
This template communicates the healthiest, most vibrant state to both the physical and energetic body. Engaging with figure eights activates and reinforces this template, contributing to overall well-being.
Moreover, figure eights facilitate the processing of information across various levels – cognitional, physical, emotional, and spiritual.
Elder Murdena Marshall, a revered First Nation teacher, once imparted the wisdom that the longest journey one embarks upon is from the head to the heart. It is the figure eights that traverse this distance, carrying information between the cognitive and emotional/spiritual realms.
Recognising the profound interplay between energy and physical health, working with figure eights becomes a therapeutic endeavour. Healing tissues, whether from a cut, wound, or burn, involves drawing figure eights in the energy field above the injury. This practice enhances the connectivity of skin, tissue, and muscles, essentially weaving the structural components of the body back together.
A delightful approach to engaging with the Celtic Weave involves immersing oneself in music and, with playful exuberance, tracing figure eights through every part of the body. Should certain areas feel less vibrant, direct application of figure eights on the body can rejuvenate and revitalize those specific regions.
Embrace the enchanting figure eights within your system, and revel in the tangible benefits of this harmonious practice.
