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 is also 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 the
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 energy, there are
those 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.
