Guarding Your Energy

Have you ever spoken to someone for just a few minutes and then walked away feeling strangely exhausted?

Nothing dramatic happened in the conversation. It may even have seemed fairly ordinary. Yet afterwards you feel as though something has been drained from you.

Many people experience this without understanding why.

On an energetic level, human beings are constantly interacting with one another. Our thoughts, emotions, and inner attitudes are not just private experiences inside our own minds. They project outward as subtle forms of energy. With a little training, you can actually see the energy moving across the room.

For example, imagine you are waiting for your coffee in a café and you begin staring at the person behind the counter with strong sexual thoughts running through your mind. Outwardly you may appear completely calm, but inwardly you are directing a very specific type of energy towards that person.

In subtle terms, that is a form of manipulation, a mild form of black magic.

Another common example is jealousy. Someone might smile politely at you whilst speaking, but inside they are wishing for you to fail. Those thoughts carry energy as well. They are directed outward even if the person never says a single negative word.

This is why certain interactions can leave you feeling drained.

The good news is that once you become aware of these energetic exchanges, you can begin to protect yourself from them. One simple method is to start your day with a clear intention. Take a moment to visualise yourself surrounded by a sphere of golden light, almost like an egg of energy around your body. See it as a protective field and affirm that no negative energy can penetrate it.

This may sound simple, but intention is powerful.

Equally important is working on your own reactions to life. If you become easily annoyed, offended, or emotionally triggered, it becomes much easier for negative energies to attach themselves to you.

Remember the saying "its not what happens, its how you react", this is spot on in my view. You need to learn to let go, especially the small things.

Learning to let things go is one of the most effective forms of protection.

When someone directs negativity towards you and you refuse to react, their energy has nothing to grip onto. It slides off and dissolves, much like water running off a duck’s back.

The more balanced and clear you become internally, the less influence these energies will have over you.

And just as importantly, you stop becoming a drain on others as well. Be mindful when speaking to someone whether or not you are subconsciously stealing their energy too. Are you bragging too much? Are you self absorbed? Did you ask how they are instead of rattling on about your own life?

The aim is to be as clean and clear as possible so that things flow to you naturally. You dont need to take from anybody and likewise, they do not need to take from you.
