Good Vibes Only!

There are times when you may find that being around certain individuals or groups of people leaves you with feelings of discomfort and drains your energy. It may be that spending time with a particular friend feels draining or that dealing with a specific coworker exhausts you. Being around toxic or angry people also is draining, and you may even find that being surrounded by a crowd of people lowers your energy levels rather than perks you up.

This is not that unusual, as each of us radiates energy and is capable of being influenced by the energy of other people. It is important to learn how to shield yourself so you don’t unknowingly take on someone else’s negative energy. While some individuals know how to instinctively protect themselves from being adversely affected by energy, most of us need to discover and practice a technique that works best for shielding against external influences.

There are several techniques you can use to avoid being affected by people’s energy. Shielding is one of them. To use this technique, centre yourself and imagine being enveloped in a cocoon of loving and protective light. This protective layer should enable you to consciously regulate the energy around you. The intent to shield oneself is all you need for this technique to work effectively. You can even create a trigger word to assist you in quickly creating a shield when needed. Say this word each time you create a new shield until the word and the shield become automatically associated in your mind. If you encounter a person whose energy you find draining, consider cleansing your energy field afterwards using methods such as sage burning, cold showers, singing, mineral water baths, spending time in nature, or simply taking a break to recharge and rejuvenate yourself.

It is crucial to learn how to protect oneself from negative energy. However, there are certain energies that one may not want to block out. For example, the energy of a newborn baby’s laughter, the feeling of joy that someone in love exudes, and the frequency of peace emanating from an enlightened teacher are some of the energies that one may want to keep around.
