Just noticing

As some of you may know Im a professional interior designer and work with space in my dailylife. For me space is both the outer physical – but also something we experience, a felt and sensed experience, our intuition tapping in to the environment.

We sense imprints from the past and what is going on for the moment, the energy people enter and brings in to the space, our body and inner system is trying to figure out what is going on and at the same time you hear, feel, see, touch and smell the environment. It’s an interesting process and for many people they don’t have a language for what is going on, some are aware of what we experience beyond our five senses.

Im a believer that when our home environment feels safe and good, it is because we have filled it up with our own energy. Have you ever realized that it takes time to get to know them, to be familiar and know the space, there is a period where we adjust and find our place in the space, kind of filling up the space with our own energy. Have you ever felt, that whenever new people enter a group the dynamic in the space change, everything happens through the energy and our senses…stories and experiences.

When I work with my interior design (and also my spiritual work) I use all my senses, its both looking at the actually space/room/area and seeing the obvious which needs to change, but it is also all the hidden things, the imprints from other people and what has happen in the space. How does it impact now…us in the space, how we feel, are we safe, confused, happy, is there something we can’t pinpoint, a missing thing, we read the room all the time, conscious or unconscious.

I enjoy to transfer the energy, when it feels off, or tracking down the cause, is it the physical space then its easy to change, is it a person or a group, then I will need to look at the organisation and its history to understand needs, is it imprints from much earlier in time, I will need to work more spiritual with the energy…Its always very interesting…

In september I will join my eldest daughter through a daylong seminar at her Department of Psychology and the University of Copenhagen and learn about “aesthetic atmospheres”.

I look forward to share the experience with my daughter and get to know about Phenomenological Psychology and Aesthetics. Perhaps I will learn something new…about shared space, sensory qualities and the emotional impact.
