Reading the energy field

Many people ask me how I know what I am working on with them. I read it in your energy field, like in a book. Everything I do and everything I tell you is written there. This reading, the analysis, is the basis of all my work.

What I see and what I don’t

I don’t see images, colors or shapes. Colors I would first have to translate, and I could be wrong in doing so. That is why I prefer to work where I can see directly how an energy field works.

Like a programmer who works in the source code and sees only the source code, I see the functions of your energy field. I don’t see your secrets, your thoughts or your life story in it.

“What I can’t say is where someone is.”

Rico Brunner

I can’t read your life situation either. I see your energy field, not the place where you are right now, and not what you are doing right now.

Whether you are with me or far away

For the analysis, it makes no difference whether you are with me in a session or whether I work from a distance in The Field (remote energy work). In both cases I read your energy field.

Every person has their own energy field signature, as unmistakable as a recipe that exists only once. That is why I find your energy field without knowing you.

With your order, a trace of this signature comes to me. I first look at your name and at how you got in touch. I don’t need to know you for this.

If you tell me in a session what is on your mind, I take it seriously. But what you are telling me then is how you experience it, that is, your symptoms. That says nothing about the causes. Often your questions lie exactly where the causes have their effect, and not where they sit.

The same applies to what you state as your concern when you order. I take it seriously as your need. For the analysis, I set it aside so that I don’t look for what I expect.

How I go about it

First I look at how your energy field has developed since last time. I can do this because I have a photographic memory for energy fields. Without this ability, I could not do this work.

Then I look at the energy field as a whole: how the parts work together, how resilient it is and how it recovers by itself. After that I go through a fixed sequence from top to bottom, from the head through the heart, belly and knee down to the foot, where the foundation is visible. There I see whether it is growing or shrinking. I write down what I see.

The sequence is fixed; the questions within it are not. Where an area is unremarkable, there is nothing to ask there. If one stands out, a great many questions arise. If I went through every energy field with the same questions, I would get wrong results.

While I observe, I don’t change anything. I stay with myself, and your energy field doesn’t notice that it is being looked at. Today, observing makes up the largest part of the analysis, and the conclusions drawn from it only a small one.

How I check my perception

I don’t simply rely on my perception; I check it all the time. I hold every finding up against other possibilities, because one and the same symptom can have very different reasons. If I am not sure, I say so openly instead of speculating and selling you a guess as a finding.

“The greatest danger in energy work is making assumptions.”

Rico Brunner

That is why my analysis contains no guesses about your life. Anyone who assumes something sees what they expect. If I can’t make anything out in a particular place, that is a valid finding for me, and then I say exactly that.

What can be read in an energy field

The Energyology model orders what I see in an energy field into five levels. Each answers its own question. Not every analysis needs all five; I describe what matters at the moment for the most important points.

From stability, tension, the functions that are present and the interactions comes the carrying capacity: how much your energy field can carry at the moment. It is not a fixed quantity, and it grows naturally as long as the energy field works well. When a demand meets it, two paths are possible in the model.

No one has to avoid a manageable demand; an energy field grows through it. Too much at once makes it compensate, and that costs strength, which is then missing for development. This is described in more detail under What Rico reads in your field.

Where I work

Only after the analysis do I decide where I work, and usually that is a small point in your energy field. Not every place that isn’t working well affects your life. I work first where a blocked place also drags the energy fields around it along with it.

Over the years it has surprised me how little it takes when the work is done in the right place. Which place that is, I don’t choose. I read it.

“You could say the client’s energy field is my boss, and I have to work the way the energy field tells me to.”

Rico Brunner

Few causes, many symptoms

My experience shows that a person usually has one to at most three causes. These few causes can give rise to a great many symptoms, fifty, seventy and more, and they keep changing. Anyone who only goes after the symptoms therefore always has something new in front of them. I call this the symptom carousel.

That is why I look for the causes in the analysis. The symptoms are their consequences, and they often show up in a completely different place from where they arise. That is why it can take a while before you notice anything from the work, and some things you don’t notice at all. How this fits together is described under How you experience the work.

What I tell you

What I tell you comes from what I see, not from what I wish for you. I would rather say a little too little than something I don’t know for sure.

An energy field that works looks ahead

What I find fascinating is that people whose energy fields work often forget very quickly where their problems used to be. An intact energy field is oriented toward further development. It becomes stronger, moves on and no longer looks back.

An analysis is not a judgment about you

Some people come in a hard phase. Others want to hold on to what they have achieved, and still others want to move forward. In the energy field I often see all of it at once: one thing in private life, another in the relationship, a third at work. An energy field does not stand in one place as a whole; each part has its own state.

That is why I read equally carefully for everyone. Whether things are hard right now or going well changes nothing about how I look. It only changes what I see and where I begin.

Questions that come up often

Do you see my thoughts or my secrets?

No. I see how your energy field works, not what you think and not what you have been through.

Does it matter where I live?

No. For the analysis it makes no difference whether you are with me or far away. I find your energy field through its signature.

Why don’t you want to know what is on my mind?

I take it seriously. For the analysis I set it aside, because you tell me where it shows, and I look for where it arises. How this works when you order is described under Two paths that don’t cross.

Do I have to be open to it?

No. It takes neither openness nor being closed off. How I can work depends on the mechanics of your energy field, not on your attitude.

Does my energy field notice that you are looking?

Not while I am reading. I observe in such a way that it notices nothing, and I change nothing in the process.

What if you can’t make anything out in a particular place?

Then I say so. I don’t fill a gap with a guess.

Where to go next

What you feel of the work and what that depends on is described next under How you experience the work. Why I work on the causes is described under Working on the causes. What happens after the analysis, how I play through every step beforehand, is described under Working process-oriented.

How the finding and reading run step by step in The Field (remote energy work) is described there under How Rico finds and reads your field.
