The ascension journey comes with many important lessons and milestones that we must explore so we can keep advancing. As we grow, so do our intuitive abilities.
One common gift that many of us share can sometimes feel like both a blessing and a curse: Sentience. This is the capability of experiencing empathy (feeling emotions) on a soul/energetic level. Once this marker is reached, we will begin to feel the energy of others from a DISTANCE. Yes, people who aren’t in the same room, in the same town, or even in our lives can still affect us!
Be mindful of who you are energetically connected to. If you ever feel “out of sorts,” be it for hours, weeks, or years, and can’t clearly identify why, you may be experiencing someone else’s energy without realizing it.
Here are some signs that it’s NOT your energy:
– You wake up in a positive mood, but the smallest inconvenience sets you off, re-routing the course of your day toward negativity.
– You have no reason to feel anxious, yet you can’t sit still, can’t stop excessively checking things, and can’t seem to “calm down.”
– You have no reason to feel sad, yet you feel like you could burst into tears at any moment.
– You have an understanding or an “intuitive knowing” about a particular subject or situation, yet you can’t stop repeating the details over and over again.
– You have no reason to be angry, but everything is irritating you.
– You can’t organize your thoughts in text messages, e-mails, or in conversation. You feel scattered and distracted and have no idea why.
– You feel sick to your stomach or have inexplicable indigestion, body aches, or a headache.
– You feel drained. Your body and mind are going into shut-down mode, yet you haven’t been pushing yourself, so you can’t figure out why you’re so tired.
– You can’t fall asleep easily or you find yourself waking up multiple times during the night for no reason.
– You’re hungry but have no desire to eat.
– You try to healthily distract yourself with your usual “relaxers” like TV or reading, but you find that it’s not working.
– You’re in the mood to spend time with friends or family, yet you cancel because you feel like you’re too “in your head” to be around people.
– You’re having dreams about the person or people in your energy, and you feel fixated on trying to understand what they mean.
– You have an insatiable desire to “find an answer,” yet you can’t clearly identify the question.
If you are experiencing any of these “mysterious” conditions, please think about all those who you are connected to on a soul level. You will find that your body, mind, and emotions can mirror them, especially a person who is deeply connected to you. This sentience is sometimes referred to as “pulling on your energy.” Please understand that this is very real! We should address the implications of it, and NOT allow it to affect our daily lives to such a degree that it’s de-stabilizing our own energy.
The best way to correct this is by taking a step back and asking ourselves WHY we feel the way we do, while also reflecting on those who may be energetically pulling on us. A person who is generally anxious will create anxiety in us. A person who is generally angry will create anger in us. A person who is generally negative will create negativity in us, etc.
Energy Re-stabilization Exercise:
Remember, YOU are in control. The energies of others can only affect you when you let them. Practice separating your own energy from everyone else’s. Reflect on truths about yourself. Hold tight to your own spiritual advancements, knowing that these lower vibrational energies do NOT belong to you.
Re-affirm your personal boundaries of the energies you will let in. Close your spiritual door to all the energies that you will NOT allow in. Take a deep breath. Exhale. Claim your position. BOLDLY stand firm in only YOUR energy. Feel yourself coming back to your heart center. Visualize only YOUR energy filling you up. Pause. Re-center. Relax back into YOU. Rest.
