To protect ourselves from taking on any
negative energy from people or situations, we can learn to shield. There are times when you may find that
being around certain individuals or groups of people leaves you with feelings
of discomfort. It may be that spending time with a particular friend feels
draining or that dealing with a specific coworker exhausts you. Being around
toxic or angry people also is draining. And you may even find that being
surrounded by a crowd of people lowers your energy levels rather than perks
you up. This is not that unusual. Each of us radiates energy and is capable
of being influenced by the energy of other people. It is important to learn
how to shield yourself, so you don’t unknowingly take on someone else’s
energy. While some people know how to instinctively protect themselves from
being adversely affected by energy, most of us need to discover and practice
a technique that works best. There are a number of ways to avoid being
affected by people’s energy. Shielding is one preventative technique you can
use. Center yourself and envision being enveloped in a cocoon of loving and
protective light. This protective layer should allow you to consciously
regulate the energy around you. The intent to shield oneself is all you need
for this technique to work. You can even create a trigger word to assist you
in quickly creating a shield. Say this word each time you create a new shield
until the word and the shield become automatically associated in your mind.
If you run into a person whose energy you find draining, you may want to
cleanse your own energy field after your encounter. Sage, cold showers,
singing, mineral water baths, spending time in nature, and a simple break to
recharge are all ways to accomplish this. While it is important to know how to shield
yourself from negative energy, there are other energies that you may not want
to shut out. The energy of laughter from a newborn baby, the feeling of joy
radiating from someone in love, and the frequency of calm emanating from an
enlightened teacher are just some of the energies coming from others that you
may want to have around you. |
