How we can get influenced by other people's energy

Everything is energy, and the energy we take on from other people can influence what we think, what we feel, and even make us sick.

We all notice the big energetic exchanges, like when being around someone that is anxious, and it makes us feel anxious. Or when someone believes in us, it makes it easier to believe in ourselves.

These are examples of how other people's energy affects you. But we don't always take into account that this is constantly happening, and we don't even need to be in proximity for someone's energy to affect us.

Just like I am able to channel energy at a great distance during sessions, we can be receiving other people's energy from a distance as well. Have you ever thought about a friend, and then they called you? That's you feeling their energy from a distance.

How much energy is exchanged depends on how strong our connection is to the other person. Someone we frequently interact with are going to have stronger energetic cords with us.

We don't just connect to the energy of other people, we can connect to the energy of the news, social media, places, and things. This is why it's so important to be aware of the content we are consuming!

Some of us are much more sensitive to this, HSPs, empaths, intuitives. And it is so important to have a daily energetic hygiene practice.

Below are some different real life examples of how this impacts us:

Shame from sexual assault: I was SAd as a child, and it took five years of therapy for me to finally accept what I had always known as truth. For years, even thinking about it put my nervous system into a freeze state and I couldn't even handle thinking about it, let alone speaking about it. What was happenining in my body, was a deep feeling of shame that was triggered, which is something you see in victims of SA. Why on earth would a victim feel shame, especially an innocent child?

A strong energetic connection between the Sacral Chakras happen during sexual relations, and the shame I was feeling didn't belong to me. It belonged to the man that assaulted me. Some abusers will feel their shame on a concious level, some will not. That doesn't stop you from taking that energy on in your body, and we will feel that shame as our own.

Taking on others thoughts as my own: Have you ever gone to have an important conversation with confidence to speak your truth and how you feel, only to fold to their will in the conversation? Where you were the wronged one, but you end up being the one feeling guilty and apologizing? This is so common in abusive relationships and why it is so tricky for some of leave. This is an example of you taking on their energy and it influencing your thoughts.

Energy from places: Places can store energy, and a great example of this is Pearl Harbor or the Twin Towers. Most people will feel heaviness, sadness or grief.

Energy from Social Media/News: When the fires happened in Lahaina, there was a collective energy that was created of pain, grief and sorrow. Any time I consumed the news/media about it, I tapped into the collective energy and felt consumed by the emotions. This will happen with collective energy, it's like it creates an entity out of all these people channeling their grief.

These are just a few examples, I invite you to sit and think about your own experiences. We have all been influenced by energy, and it's important to be aware and in control. I like to think of other people's energy as static on the phone line, getting in the way of our intution and our feelings.

I once had a client that was sick from all of the anger she was holding onto, and it wasn't even hers. It was coming from her father who she was no-contact with! We don't have to be in communication with someone for them to be thinking about us and sending us energy.

We are happy and healthiest when we are in our own energy, our own space. It's nothing to be feared, as it's not always bad. Sometimes other peoples energy is very helpful and lifts us up! This is why it's SO important who we surround ourselves with, as we will naturally be taking on their energy.

A daily energetic hygiene practice is so important! The more you tune in to your body, the easier it gets to differentiate between what is your energy, and what is energy you have taken on from others.

How to clear energy that's not yours:

Somatic Healing: I have a free somatic healing on my YouTube that's six minutes that clears energy that's not yours out of your space, and I recomend using it daily or using after anytime you notice you've been taking on a lot of energy. You can access it by clicking here

Shower/Bath: Another great way to release energy that's not yours is in the shower, as water is a powerful conduit. Just use your intentions to release any energy that's not yours out of your space at the beginning of your shower.

Grounding: Go outside and connect your feet to the earth. Using your inentions, send any energy that's not yours down your body and through your feet into the earth.

Breathwork: Take deep breaths, in through your nose, out through your mouth. Using your intentions, visualize cleansing energy on the inhale, and exhaling any energy that's not yours.

Being control of your own space is SO important, and can be life changing. It helps us tap into our intuition, which keeps us safe!
