So many people are struggling with intense emotional energies right now, especially those who are empathic.
All my life I have been extremely empathic, but for the first half of my life I didn’t even realize what it was, or how to manage it, and that this was not a unique character trait. But everyone shares this talent. Everyone is Empathic, Some are just not aware that they are. The New energies are waking these empathic traits in everyone now.
Before I knew that I was empathic, I was picking up other people’s emotional energies of upset, anger, sadness, and did not realize they were not my own feelings. As a result, I felt on edge a lot of the time, as I was carrying not only my own feelings but also the emotions of others around me.
I had to learn ways to manage the emotional energies, both my own feelings, but recognizing as well as the energy of others, that I was absorbing.
First and foremost, I learned to start my day clear of any energies left over from the previous day. I start my day clearing my energy. There are many ways to do this. One way is by smudging, or sound clearing. Calling in the Violet Flame to transmute negative energy from around you is another very good way. Then protect yourself by surrounding yourself with gold or white light. You can call on Archangel Michael and ask for his protection. You can call on any of your guidance systems for help. There is no wrong way to do this.
These are some other powerful ways to help manage emotional energies:
Practice awareness
Be aware of what you are feeling, either in response to an internal shift, or a reaction to another person’s strong emotion. With awareness, I could consciously choose a response and an action that I could feel good about.
Understand the nature of energy
A big key to healing for me has been the understanding that my response to my environment also feeds the energy. Therefore, if someone responds to me in a negative way and I respond back negatively, I am going to exacerbate the problem.
Not only will I add fuel to the fire and cause pain for the other person, I will be increasing my own hurt. Negative energy feeds on negative energy.
Instead, if I can respond with love, most likely that will be healing to the other person and the energy will shift to something that’s supportive and healing for both of us. That’s because love is all the soul seeks and when we can come back to a loving place, everything else in life becomes manageable.
Don’t take anything personally
One of the main reasons I came to see that I absorbed and hung on to other people’s dramas and intense energies is because I bought into their suffering at some level. But over time I realized that nothing means what I think it does.
I realized that the same power within me that has turned every challenge that I have faced, into a lesson and blessing is in everyone else, too.
I’m not responsible for fixing the energy or the situation. I am only responsibility for how I manage my own energy: am I adding love, and warmth to the space and people around me, or am I contributing to the creation of a negative environment?
Balance yourself.
Staying Balanced for me is to continuously stay connected to my heart, my deeper spiritual self. When I stray from there by getting caught up in the voices in my head or the drama unfolding around me, I know I can take a short-cut back to center, by taking a long deep breath.
For me, the most powerful way to do this is with meditation, any type of meditation. Even just a few minutes of deep breathing can help us center ourselves.
Being empathic and super sensitive to energy is not something that I can just decide to change, but I can become more aware of how it affects me.
The empowering thing is the realization that I can change my reactions and my own behaviors, no matter how overwhelming the emotions.
I used to think my only two choices were to react to negative energy with negativity or to withdraw and detach. Neither option was conducive to building strong, supportive relationships or to my own happiness.
I now know that when someone reacts to me in a negative way, I must try to respond with only Love, I can then feel good about my part of the outcome!
Being empathic helps us to understand people better and to open our hearts to them, to realize that we are all on the same human journey. And are all searching for compassion and love.
Every situation can be a blessing of feeling emotions strongly, and an opportunity to connect to our deepest strength and then transmit The Love that can bring healing to our self, others and to our Planet.
