The method ECOintention is perceiving, interpreting and improving the (life) energy in organizations and ecosystems. It is a method to bring healthy energy and flow back into organizations and ecosystems. Center for ECOintention has been successfully applying this approach for more than 25 years in numerous projects. ECOintention is a profession that you can learn during the four-year vocational training to become an ECOintention Practitioner. Pereiving energy Everything radiates energy; a person, an animal, a tree, the ground and vegetation. Even a building has radiance. In people we call this energy their aura. The amount of energetic radiance is a way of measuring health and vitality. In a building the radiance influences the living and working environments and the health of all. This radiance is a result of the amount of life energy in an organism or building. All the ancient cultures had a name for Life energy: Ch’i, prana, mana etc. According to the ancient Chinese Ch’i is the universal life energy that streams through all of creation. This energy is present everywhere. It is the energy with a thousand names. All of matter is composed of and soaked in Ch’i. Modern science confirms this ancient wisdom. Quantum mechanics discovered that the atom is made up of 99,999999999999% empty space. This is filled with life energy. Science calls it Zero Point Energy. It turns out that the remaining 0,000000000001% of matter is not made up of fixed particles but of energy. Everything is energy and energy radiates. Everyone can perceive radiance and life energy. It doesn’t require any special gift. The only condition is that you are relaxed inside. There are many ways to achieve this; sit down for a moment, breathing exercises, meditation etc. ECOintention uses relaxation exercises from Intuitive Development. You can perceive life energy and radiance with your hands, dowsing rods or a pendulum. You can also feel it in your body or in the feeling a building or place has. Center for ECOintention has developed a method to compare and check different people’s energetic perceptions. This is based on Huna, ancient wisdom from Hawaii. 'Imagination is more important than knowledge' - Albert Einstein Copyright Center for ECOintention 2015 What is ECOintention? - 3 Interpreting energy Alongside more traditional measurements, energetic readings give you a deeper insight into the current condition of an organization or ecosystem. Due to their subtle nature, energetic changes always precede biological changes. Problems in an organization can be picked up much earlier at the energetic level. Energetic blockages reduce productivity and cause misunderstanding on the work floor. Good energy puts in place the right conditions and makes sure that luck is on your side. Center for ECOintention has developed energetic scales and parameters to assess the health and vitality of organizations and ecosystems. There are energetic values for the amount of life energy, blockages, stress, grounding and self-organization. These values are depicted in charts. In this way they can be compared with the target values of a healthy organization and the development of an ECOintention project can be tracked. Previously existing scales are also used, such as the Bovis scale to assess vitality. This was developed by the Frenchman André Bovis. At the beginning of the previous century he and his research team dowsed the vitality of food in a project for the French government 'An atom is made up of 99,99999999% empty space filled with life energy.' Improving energy ECOintention is unique. There is no other method that both brings back healthy energy and flow into an organization and at the same time coaches the client. This holistic approach makes awareness-raising and change processes happen more quickly and the impact last longer. Improving the energy happens in three phases: 1 - Balancing phase: this is the process of bringing the energy up to the target values. All energetic values are tracked in graphics so you can follow the whole process. 2 - Stabilization phase: the energy in the organization is optimal. Clients often notice in this phase that a calmness returns to the organization. 3 - Continuation phase: the energy has been deeply anchored. The benefits can now be harvested. In this phase we step back and you take over the energetic guardianship. Everything is energy and everything has a unique individual vibration. ECOintention strengthens the vibration of a project using energetic items that vibrate in a similar way. This is the principle of resonance. Every item has a specific effect. One increases the energy, another one dissolves blockages, for example. An ECOintention Practitioner knows the way these work and applies them with consciousness, commitment and care. Copyright Center for ECOintention 2015 What is ECOintention? - 4 Coaching You are coached as a client throughout the whole project. You learn about how your organization functions energetically, and how to steward the energy and provide direction with your intention. Transforming stagnation in the organization and old patterns in yourself are important parts of the work. This is called resonant leadership. It’s based on the principles of energetic guardianship. The principles of energetic guardianship are 1 Inner Peace You can only work with energy if you are relaxed inside . You can only charge som ething energetically if you are 2 Consciousness of the whole conscious of its boundaries. By giving the system and everything in it positive attention 3 Feeling for what’s going on you charge it up energetically. Before you direct energy, you formula te realistic goals . 4 Subject matter expertise You focus your in tention on these goals and imagine that 5 Identify, affirm and visualize goals they have been realized. What is holding you back from the past and is standing in 6 Process past pain the way of you fulfilling your dream? Copyright Center for ECOintention 2015 What is ECOintention? - 5 2. The power of intention An organization and an ecosystem can be compared to an organism. It is a dynamic living whole that develops itself and is continually in interaction with its environment. ECOintention uses the metaphor of the wheel to describe the power of intention in this context. The wheel and ist guardian Every organism, every organization and every natural area can be compared to a wheel. The wheel has a Guardian; you as the creative force in your life, or the leader of the organization, the manager, the director - in our language, the Guardian. The foundation for health and vitality is a harmonious balance between the Guardian and their wheel. In our world today this is often disturbed. Organizations are breaking down, hyperventilating and/or getting stuck ECOintention restores the balance. It brings the Guardian back into the hub of their wheel and at the same time strengthens the vitality and self-organizing ability of the organization. The coherence and flow, the alignment between vision, policy and implementation, all increase. A well-functioning whole In a well functioning organization the Guardian sits in the hub of the wheel. In the hub everything comes together. This is where you have the overview of the whole and hold the reins. You care about the work and have a feeling for what’s going on. Your most important job is to listen so that your colleagues feel heard and seen. Grounded in your inner peace you give your wheel attention and energy. Your wheel is given direction by you being clear about your goals and being convinced that you can achieve them. Subject matter expertise helps you to formulate realistic goals. A good wheel is full of vitality and largely self-organizing. Your colleagues are in the right roles and know what they have to do. It is a coherent whole, based on teamwork; one plus one makes three. There is clear communication; a quick word is enough and problems are solved rapidly and easily. The organization is agile and reacts adequately to developments in the world and in the market. The future seems to be more with you than against you. Copyright Center for ECOintention 2015 What is ECOintention? - 6 Forces in the wheel IIn the wheel two forces are at work. The most well-known one is the centrifugal force that pushes everything outwards. This force is based on physical-chemical energy and functions explosively. It is the masculine power (Yang) that is connected with reason. It is the physical force that functions in the outside world, in matter. You connect with this force by directing your attention outside yourself into the material world The other force is centripetal, pulling everything towards the center. This force uses life energy and is generative and vitalizing. It is the feminine force (Yin), connected with your intuition. This force functions in the inner world, in the world of your mind. You connect with this force by directing your attention inside, to your feelings and thoughts The wheel will reach its goal if the Guardian is in the hub and these two forces exist in dynamic balance.
