How to Release the Energy of Others

I remember it like it was yesterday- I had scheduled my first reiki session for February 2019 I was excited more than anything and unsure of what to expect

I walked in eager and open. What happened in that 60 minute session I will forever describe as ‘life changing’ In that single session I realized how little I knew about my body, how little I had healed from my past traumas, and how much work I had ahead of me

From there I became obsessed (in a healthy way) with self-improvement on a deeper level, and my journey of healing from trauma and regulating my nervous system really took off I became aware of the fact that I am an empath and really sensitive to other people- and suddenly, my whole world changed.

The truth is that the energy of other people can really impact us- and it’s important to be doing what we can to release everything that does not serve us or is not in alignment with us.

The first step to protecting your own energy is just to create some awareness around yourself, your own life and the people around you. Ask yourself- what types of energetic states feel good to you and improve your own mood/mindset, and which ones bring your vibration down?

Sometimes simply putting up boundaries or utilizing the tools below can help with this- and other times, you may find that you need to eliminate certain relationships or connections from your inner field

There is nothing wrong with this, and although it can be hard, it can sometimes be the best thing for us. Ultimately only you can make this decision for yourself and recognize if distance is the best way to feel relief

However, here are some great tools for you to try to protect your own energy:

Screen Door Visualization– This is probably one of the easiest techniques. When engaging in conversation and that person is talking to you, envision yourself as a screen door. Picture their energy flowing off of them and THROUGH you, being released for the both of you g- When you are lying at the end of your day to sleep, you simply yes and visualize cords ming out of your body in s symbolize the energy ment to anyone you ontact with during your uld reflect emotions, houghts, or perhaps umstances or even ur to-do list. lize these cords, you ture a beautiful, bright, te light coming down ghest point of the aight down to you. As aches you, picture it ords one-by-one, and as cord is cut and dissolves through this until the white light ely surrounded you and more cords present. it helps to say to m letting this go for if needed, I will come morrow’. is quick, and after you ew times, you might find falling asleep even e cut all the cords! as it symbolizes that you e balanced energetic hat you don’t have to ything to feel relief.

This is an extremely powerful concept, because normally, we tend to behave more like ‘sponges’, soaking up the energy of others and holding onto it as if it was our own This is where a lot of the trouble lies, as holding onto energy that isn’t yours can manifest things like disease and illness.

Shaking- the idea behind it is that energy can often become stagnant and get ‘stuck’ in the body Releasing it on our own can sometimes be a challenge unless we are having a professional do it for us (like I did with reiki)

Shaking helps us to release this stagnant energy and basically ‘shake it off’ of our body It is a natural way to release anxiety and instantly calm us down If we look at an animal that has just experienced a life-threatening situation, we see them shake afterward This is a natural occurrence in the animal kingdom, but we, as humans, have been conditioned to ignore this innate coping mechanism and pretend like we are just fine.

Often after massive traumatic events, we see people go into a shock-like state where they are shaking. We have been conditioned to believe that this means there is something wrong and that we need to ‘stop’ the shaking from happening, rather than allowing the body to release as it is trying too

Therapeutic shaking helps to release tension and return the body back to a state of homeostasis as it activates the parasympathetic nervous system (aka our rest and digest system), signalling our brain to relax and let go It also helps to activate our lymphatic system, which helps the body get rid of toxins

Just as it sounds, shaking is the practice of actively and vigorously shaking the body- preferably to a song that gets you moving You can do this anywhere from 3 to 10 minutes a day, but if you’re new to it, one song will likely be more than enough to leave you out of breath and tap into this release.

So, what exactly is energy?

This is a loaded question and not one that h answer However, the simplest answer is th everything is energy You, I, and every singl plant, insect, animal and thing on this plan energy.

We are all made up of tiny, microscopic, vib atoms And it is said that if you were to com size of the ’empty space’ (aka energy) betw of these atoms to the size of the atoms the the space between makes up roughly 99% Meaning: we are 99% empty space (aka ene

Now because the atoms of every person an everything on this planet are vibrating-that that we are sending off vibrations of energy times Think of the sayings like ‘you could c tension in that room with a knife‘, or ‘I could feel her eyes burning daggers in me‘.

Or what about when you have a loved one, friend, family member or partner, and you c shift in their energy. Whether they are happ angry, stressed, frustrated- you can just tell that?

Well, that is because that particular person out a vibration of their energy into the worl are picking up on it. How can the energy of effect you?

With every person on this planet emulating energy of their emotional state at all times, become an energy cluster. And if you’re an healer, or someone who is just sensitive to of others- it can be very overwhelming No longer are you just aware of the energe others- but now you are actually absorbing taking it on, which can become a problem own health in all aspects

In addition, we tend to mimic those around without even realizing it- an effect called th Mirrors. Generally, we surround ourselves w who are an energetic match to us– whethe positive or negative If we tend to be surrou those who are energy ‘suckers’, we can ofte drained and burnt out. If we tend to be sur those with toxic energy, we can often feel q negative in our own outlook And similarly, to be surrounded by those who are ‘happier’, we will likely be in a better place and have a more positive outlook.
