Infinity and the figure 8
In each of our energy systems there are patterns of figure 8 .
The energy system known as the “Celtic Weave,” described by Donna Eden, is a fundamental element in understanding our energetic anatomy. The figure eights, present in every energetic system of our body, are symbolic of the deep connection that permeates every aspect of our energetic structure.
To understand your energetic anatomy this is an essential piece of the big puzzle.
These figure eights manifest in the double helix of DNA, extend along the energy meridians, intertwine in the chakras, and are reflected in the aura as intricate, dynamic Celtic knots. They move both vertically and horizontally, some so subtle they are barely discernible, while others extend from the top of our heads to beneath our feet in a sweeping motion.
These figures are three-dimensional and two-dimensional, moving according to specific rhythms, some fast and some slower. Their presence and complexity are fascinating and offer us a deep insight into the interconnectedness and harmony of our energy system.
The 8s intertwine vertically, horizontally, some are so small you can barely make them out and the largest goes from under our feet to above our heads in one big movement.
But what do all these figure 8s do?
They have two main purposes :
- To connect.
- To transport information.
The diagram in Figure 8 connects within individual energy systems, but is also the connection between individual energy systems.
It's like the glue that holds energy systems together.
It is also vital for connecting the left and right, front and back, and upper and lower parts of our bodies.
One of the key actions in educational kinesiology ( Brain Gym ) is to have children wave their arms in large 8s, and another key way to work with children who are dyslexic is to have them draw 8s on a large piece of paper with both hands at the same time.
It can also be great to do the figure 8 above the eyes as we tend to hold onto or lose the pattern of the figure 8 crossing along the midline, so by making sure the figure 8 is strong you can help ensure that your neurological processing remains healthy and that you can stay in your center rather than becoming energetically scattered.
So, we've seen how the 8s connect.
But how do they transport information?
The 8s are like the worker bees of your energy bodies.
8 silver in your systems flying through your energy bodies.
They contain an energetic pattern of light that they continuously activate and strengthen.
This pattern informs both the physical and energetic body of its healthiest and most vibrant state and every time you work with the figure 8 you are helping to activate and strengthen this health pattern as well.
The 8s also work to process information across different levels: cognitive, physical, emotional, and spiritual.
Elder Murdena Marshall of the First Nation told me that the longest journey any of us will ever travel is the journey from the head to the heart.
They are the figure 8s that carry information between the head (cognitive level) and the heart (emotional and spiritual).
Because what happens in your energetic bodies affects what happens in your physical body, working with the figure 8 is a great way to help your tissues heal.
If you have an injury such as a cut, wound or burn, drawing the figure 8 in the energy field above the injury (not on the skin but a few inches above) improves the connectivity of the skin, tissue and muscles, thus literally weaving the structure of the body back together.
