We all are energetic beings and sensitive to the emotions of others and the general environment of any situation. Even if you are not aware of it consciously, you are consistently picking up stuff from your external environment.
Those of who are HSP (a highly sensitive person) know exactly what I am talking about. You feel other people’s emotions and the vibe of a room. So much so that it can totally deplete you.
How do we stop taking on other people’s stuff? And how do we go out and engage in our daily lives without feeling depleted? What can we do when we go to festivals, concerts and events where there’s thousands of people?
Here are my top five tips for protecting your energy. This has been a HUGE part of my own development.
1. Stay out of judgment!! We take on others stuff whenever we have an opinion about someone or going into pity.
2. Protect your energetic field by cocooning yourself in light.
3. When you are going to a concert with a large crowd see everyone’s light and then merge all the lights into one light. It will help to consolidate and manage energy effectively.
4. Pray and ask for help! Hand over someone else’s stuff to a Higher Power.
5. Carry some Palo Santo and a lighter with you to clear energy anytime.
6. Burn any “gunk” away by imagining a purple flame in your belly area (this is your 3rd chakra where a lot of energy that does not belong to us collects)
7. Choose smaller gatherings like Bhakti Fest, Bali Spirit and Beloved where there isn’t going to be heavy drugs and alcohol.
8. Strengthen your aura with kundalini yoga and breathe techniques like the breathe of fire.
9. Ask your guides to clear the space before you go.
10. Clear your energy at the end of the day with a shower, bath or dancing it off!
These tips and tools have helped me to protect my energy especially during festival season when I find myself in large crowds of people. May these tips and tools serve you during festival season and beyond!
Know that it’s possible to be compassionate and loving with others without taking on their stuff.
