Ways to Recognise if The Energy You’re Feeling is Your Own
It’s actually quite natural to feel other people’s energies.
All life forms have a subtle energy field, also known as the aura or bio-field, which picks up many stimuli in our environment.
Our personal energy field acts as a communications device, transmitting and receiving energy and information about our surroundings.
The natural distance for our personal energy field is approximately an arm’s length out, in a circle all around us.
However, it is not static and can be extended much further when we focus our energy and intention on it. It can also retract very tightly right up to the skin if we are out of alignment and have blockages in our field.
You can learn how to play with your energy field and make it more appropriate for different situations.
You may wonder, “Why would you feel other people’s energy and emotions?”
The answer is, because everything is Energy.
Every thought and emotion has a signature frequency and can be discerned by many people and animals.
As you grow your awareness, the subtler realms of sensations and feeling energy become more heightened, and you begin to become more empathic.
Your compassion becomes deeper and your desire to help/feel/heal others amplifies.
You start to have a sense of what is coming your way before it happens so you can prepare/protect yourself.
This may take some practice. For me, being an empath, it has taken many years of consistent application of techniques to master this.
Once you have mastered this, it’s then up to you to manage and clear your energy and field, and, ultimately, to reset your energy boundaries and spiritual agreements on how you choose to be an empathic soul in a physical body.
SO HOW DO YOU KNOW IF WHAT YOU ARE FEELING IS YOURS OR NOT?
Accept the basic premise that everything you feel may not be about you. Some people may have trouble with this concept, but it’s essential to have more discernment and detachment about what you are truly experiencing on the subtle level.
Awareness is key. Notice the circumstances. If a feeling comes on quite suddenly, without any supporting reason, that could be a clue. Of course, our mental/emotional bodies are quite changeable and the reasons we feel things are not always rational and logical.
If you are serious about your personal and spiritual growth, you do need to honour what you feel, as that is a sign that something is amiss and you need to explore it a bit deeper.
Ask for Clarity. Many years ago, I noticed I was getting depressed quite suddenly. As a dedicated healer, I thought my purpose was to diligently unearth more layers of stuff I felt I had to “work on”, which was very often back then.
One day, when I was particularly depressed all of a sudden, I had a major “aha moment.” What if all this sadness wasn’t even mine?
I sat and meditated on the question and got a very clear message that much of it, in fact, was not.
The truth was that I was often feeling someone else and, as a healer, I felt compelled to take responsibility and begin clearing it.
It was such a comfort to have this understanding that I was not sad after all.
Use Energy Clearing Techniques to begin to sort out what is you, and what is not you.
A great place to start shifting your experience is always to set a clear intention.
“As you think, so shall you be.”
Try this for a simple, yet very potent, energy clearing:
“I release any energies that are not mine.”
Make this intention while showering or bathing to amplify your release with the natural cleansing properties of water.
UNDERSTANDING HOW ENERGY FIELDS WORK
In order for your energy field to function properly, it must connect in all directions. This includes downwards to the Earth, as well as upwards to Spirit and higher consciousness. Both energies are needed. And, it is here where we acknowledge that our bodies are made up of both matter and Spirit.
Therefore, it's important to note that these higher realms of consciousness are not necessarily "up there". In fact, they are all around us and within us.
The torus field is an electromagnetic field that makes up our aura or energy body. The torus flows in infinite directions and sends an equal amount of energy both upwards and downwards, simultaneously.
In the center of our torus field is our heart.
Our heart generates the largest electromagnetic field around our body.
Therefore, the heart is the focal point for all that is. The heart center has its own torus energy field flowing around it, in addition to a larger torus field flowing around the entire body.
This should be no surprise to anyone who has studied chakras and soul centers. We are taught that our bottom three chakras and soul centers govern much of our physical body and Earthly experiences, while the top three connect us to our Higher Self and our Spiritual aspects.
The heart chakra/soul center acts as the bridge that connects us to both the physical and spiritual dimensions, making it possible to exist in both planes at the same time.
When your torus field is healthy, and spinning in all directions without obstruction, it generates an infinite amount of energy, vitality, and life force. This self-healing energy creates inner balance and well being, while raising our vibration.
The torus field can also act as a form of energetic protection. It operates as a force field of spiraling energy that can shield and dispel any negative or unwanted energies.
The torus field also helps to clear stuck or stagnant energy.
The torus field creates a tube, or central column, that goes right through the center of you and your heart. It is through this tube that you are able to send and receive Earth frequencies of protection, grounding, balance, and stability.
It is also through this tube that you are able to connect and communicate to your Higher Self and Source.
OUR CENTRAL COLUMN IS A VORTEX OF ENERGY
When our energy is flowing freely through our central column, it heals and activates the seven main chakras and soul centers, and begins to awaken the higher, transpersonal ones.
When the central channel becomes blocked, our chakras and soul centers begin to malfunction, and a person's energy becomes out of balance.
Our central channel is responsible for helping us to ground, center, open, and receive.
You can become more aware of your torus energy field, and the central column, by visualizing it.
First, imagine drawing energy upward from the Earth and through your feet. I usually see the energy as gold or white light. Imagine this light going up your entire central channel, and out through the crown of your head.
Next, like a water fountain, imagine the energy pouring out of the crown of the head and all around you. See, sense, and feel the energy going all the way back down to the Earth, and up again through the feet. Run this upward energy for a couple of minutes or until you feel comfortable.
Next, you'll do the same thing by opening your crown chakra and bringing the same gold or white light down your central column. Bring it all the way down through your feet and into the Earth. Then, see it cycling back up again, in all directions. Again, repeat this downward energy for a couple of minutes.
You'll aim to visualize the vortex running one direction for a few minutes, and then reverse it to run the other direction for a few more minutes.
If you're more advanced, you will be able to see the vortex running in both directions at the same time.
