Thank you for this thread
ImthatIm.
This thread with interesting input from all of ‘yous’, also answered a question I had had on the shelf of my mind for a loooong time, and it was whether I was related to Nils-Aslak’s ancestry/relatives:

Turns out I am. And I do know the ‘Lapp’ areas (wilderness hunting grounds) they came from before they moved and became called “Saami” up North.

One more ‘energy-field’ story about a rock, a boulder (warning – a long one).
Was visiting relatives and we were having a picnic on their forest-block.
As I was sitting there, I started to
feel a presence of a Rock. Since I couldn’t see one, I asked the owners:
“Where is the Rock? There is a Rock here – somewhere.”
They said, they didn’t know of any Rock on their forest.
But because the presence of the Rock was so strong, I had to go and investigate - walking deeper into the forest.
After quite some time - couldn’t find it, so I gave up and
asked the Rock itself to lead me to it.
Walked aimlessly for a while, till I came upon a track. Actually, there was no track, because the forest had grown over it, but there was –
energetically, and the ‘energy-signature’ of that track
‘told me’ it was a Lapp/Saami track. And energetically the track started to
‘pull me’.
All of a sudden I was in front of a “Seita-stone”:

The forest had grown all around it so much, that you could not see it unless you were right in front of it.
As far as I understand, the Lapp hunter-gatherers brought offerings, part of their game etc. to this Stone. So, this Stone like ‘ruled’ … ‘governed’ a large hunting-ground. And even though the people, who had used this wilderness area, the track and the Rock had moved up North long ago, the
‘energetic presence’ was still there in the now to be felt.
Later, turned out the ‘Rock’ belonged to the owners of the adjoining forest-block, but his family had never known of its existence.
Later also a neighbour of theirs told of a Lapp/Saami stone stacks which had been on the 3rd adjoining forest block:

The owners of this 3rd block had clear-felled their forest and thus destroyed the stacks and disturbed the village berry-picking-grounds, which the village had become angry about, writing in newspaper columns etc. as those berry grounds are communal.

So. My point here is about sensing ‘energy-fields’ with one’s awareness. (Using awareness as a sense).
Also, among Westerners it always seems to be about clearing the past, the blockages, etc. whereas for the indigenous, it is more about re-discovering and remembering the old - in the now … and reclaiming the forbitten, lost gifts and abilities, that went with those.
And why did I sense it? I suppose it was because the users of this Stone had partly been my ancestors too, so there was that link.

P.S.
Aborigines talk about
“Song Lines”.
This track was not the same, but somewhat parallel.
And as somebody had said:
“We all have got a song within us – it tells us who we are”.
