Being an empath, a highly sensitive intuitive human, it is very easy to absorb and take on other peoples energy...
I battle with myself all the time with how much i allow others energy to affect my well being. I find myself feeling overwhelmed, stressed, angry, and it’s not my energy of that I am feeling but all of those who come to me and share their energy with me. Sometimes it feels like I am their energy dump truck.. I only say that because I usually forgot to release the energy they share with me. I hold onto it and take it as my own. Don’t get me wrong, being an empath is amazing and a very strong healer, but releasing energy absorb or putting an energy shield around you is the most important part of being an empath. We Empaths feel everything, every emotion, every vibe, energy does not lie!
Some ways you can shield yourself to block energy from entering your energy field ~
simply say right after you wake up or before you leave your house, “I am powerful and with my power I shield myself from any energy that is not my own.”
You can repeat as many times as you feel you need.
Now if you have absorbed others energy and it is draining your own ~
Simply take a hot bath or shower and as you are in the water imagine you are cutting all ties of energy cords from your body. The heart center/heart chakra tends to be one of my most vulnerable areas as well as the center of my abdominal which would be the solar plexus chakra.
You can also say “I am powerful and with my power, I release all energy that is not my own”
I’ll usually say my mantra about three times or however many times i feel is needed.
