Each one of us is a "human energy field" and no two human energy fields are alike. This fact works to our advantage because once we get to know what WE feel like, and feeling our energy, feeling what is really "us", we won't mistake it when we are pulling other people's energy into ourselves and by practice, we can focus out of other people's energy by focusing on our own.
How to do this? There are many ways, actually. But in the beginning, we want to work simply and effectively - as an unskilled empath, we need to start out easy and build upon that.
Our name holds alot of power with respect to the energy we exude. Saying our name over and over again to ourselves and focusing inward quietly and calmly, we can get to know what is our essence. If you do this daily, upon arising from sleep and upon going to bed at night until it becomes a habit, you will be able to tap into yourself whenever you feel overwhelmed by other people's feelings/energy and you can use this exercise then as well, once it becomes a habitual practice. It does work!
Thanks so much for that information. I will try that out, Diane
ReplyDeleteTHAT is what I do, Mary, to block out my exes overwhelming sadness. During our chat the other day I thought it was that I was keeping myself busy but I do repeat my name to myself and focus on me. Once I do that, POOF, his sadness is gone from me. =0)
