Keeping Your
Energy Clear
By Laurie Levine, Author of Spiritual Medicine
Have you ever been around someone who was angry or upset and when you left them
you felt the same way?
Do you know people that seem to be "energy vampires"?
Have you ever felt like you were carrying the pressure of the world on your
shoulders?
Have you ever felt your energy being zapped after being with some one
or in a certain environment?
These are important questions to contemplate. What answers do you get from these
questions?
Energy is energy and human beings are like sponges; being affected by energy
without even knowing that this is happening. Recognizing this fact is the first
step toward a healthier life.
I remember when I was first studying alternative therapies and my teacher
discussed energy transference with us and how we can actually "take on"
someone's energy. I was not quite sure what she was talking about at first.
I was glad that I became more aware of this and had a first hand experience that
really changed my life. I went to give a healing massage on a friend of mine and
when I got to her house she was very upset and was in tears. She and her husband
had just gotten in a fight. In my wanting to make it better for her I did not
pay attention to the warning I had received from my teacher. As the session
progressed I found my body temperature getting very hot and by the end of the
session I had taken on her emotional pain and felt how she was feeling when I
first arrived. She felt happy and relaxed and it took me about 2 hours to
release the energy that I was feeling.
It was a great lesson for me and I realized shortly after that experience that I
have been unconsciously affected by other people's energy all my life and did
not even aware of it. If someone was hurting or feeling sad, I would feel it as
well. Thank God, I can see the beauty in facilitating the path of healing for
others while keeping my own energy clear and vital. I have seen so many health
practitioners and massage therapists "burning out" because they are not keeping
their energy clear and being affected by the energy of others.
Laurie's tips for keeping your energy clear and vibrant!
1. Start with becoming more aware of your energy. The first step is to notice
when your energy levels change. Notice what you are doing at the time and how
you are feeling. Ask yourself if what your feeling is yours or have you been
affected by someone else energy?
2. Take a shower after work and clean off any energy you may have taken on from
your day.
3. To release any energy that is not yours, this is my prayer: "Any energy that
does not belong to me and is not of the highest vibration of God, I release it
now from the whole of me". " I claim back my energy, power and inner strength.
My body is in perfect balance and all is well, and so it is, Amen."
4. You can put a white light, bubble or force field around your self to protect
your energy.
5. Avoid wearing dark colors as they tend to pick up more negative energy.
6. Keep your body hydrated with water and take good care of your body temple.
7. Take control over your mind and thoughts. Do not let your fears run your
life. Focus on what you want instead of what you do not want. Set up your own
boundaries and say no when you need to.
Please share your stories with me of what you do to keep your energy clear and
how you avoid taking on other people's energy and emotional pain. I would love
to hear from you.
