Is this energy mine?
Practical ways to work out if it's yours...
IS THIS ENERGY MINE?
In preparation of my brand new series with Tracy Keough called “Over the Influence” starting Sept 18th ( early bird ends today Sept 10th) I wanted to talk about something I get regularly asked - “IS THIS ENERGY MINE?”
Do you ever wonder if you’re holding onto energy that’s not yours? Do you ever feel fine one moment and then off the next? Or even worry that you shouldn’t follow your intuitive messages in case you’re being influenced by energy that’s not our own?
It is easy for our energy to become enmeshed with the energy of the world around us. It mingles with the energy of our friends, families, colleagues, and takes on the energy of the food we eat, the music we listen to, and what we read in social media and in the news. When you begin to pay attention, you’ll notice how we are bombarded almost constantly with external information, thoughts, beliefs, expectations, points of view, and emotional triggers. All of which carry their own energetic imprint.
This means most of us have lost touch with what our own energy feels like. That’s why it’s so important to work out what energy is yours and what belongs to someone else. Including politicians, journalists, and the thousands of people you likely interact with on social media every day.
There’s a chance you’ve heard about “empaths,” which is the term used to describe people who are more energetically sensitive. This can make it even easier to take on the emotions and physical symptoms of the people around you, without you even realizing it—a situation that can get very confusing. You may suddenly feel like there’s something wrong with you, or experience a spike in anxiety that seems to come out of nowhere. If you’re deeply connected to a person this can also happen across distances, as energy can be everywhere at once.
One of the quickest ways to distinguish if the energy or emotions you’re experiencing is yours is simply to ask: “Is this energy mine?” Here are some signs that you might be taking on energy that isn’t yours.
IT’S SOMEBODY ELSE’S ENERGY WHEN ...
- It comes on quickly. You might suddenly feel anxiety, anger or fear that doesn’t fit how you’ve been feeling. At the other end of the emotional spectrum, you might feel super hyper, excitable or playful. Please note that if you’re around someone for a long time it can be a slow build as you take on more of their energy.
- You might feel pain, discomfort or body aches that don’t quite fit your body. For example: Why is my neck suddenly sore? Why do my teeth hurt? Why do I have pain in my feet?
- You might feel drained or tired and want to retreat into your cave to not be around others because it feels “heavy” to be around them.
- You keep thinking about a person or a situation repeatedly and can’t seem to shake it from your thoughts or energy sphere. You may even dream about them regularly.
- You just don’t feel like yourself.
With time and practice you’ll gain confidence as to how your own energy feels, and will be able to notice the signs of when another energy has entered your sphere. If you have more time, use the exercise below to get more clear.
✨BODY SCAN: IS THIS MY ENERGY? ✨
Sit somewhere comfortable and close your eyes.
Scan your whole body, moving your awareness from your toes all the way up to the top of your head. See what you notice in terms of both your physical body and your emotional state.
If an emotion or physical symptom is present that doesn’t feel like it belongs to you (use the signs shared above to help you) the next step is to ask, “Who does this energy belong to?” Trust the first thing that comes to you, whether it’s a person, an organization, or even an article you read earlier on Facebook. You might not always get a clear hit, and that’s okay. You can still release the energy even if you don’t know exactly what or who is affecting you, the first step is simply to trust that something doesn’t feel quite right.
Now, ask the energy to leave. You can do this in your head or say it out loud: “I ask you to please leave my physical and energetic body.”
You can also “tap” the energy out of your body gently with your fingertips. Sit or lie down and tap your body slowly, with both hands and with gentle pressure. You can then increase the speed and the pressure if it feels good. Allow yourself to be guided intuitively as to where you want to tap. But as a rule, if you’re feeling an emotional symptom, gently tap the chest and heart space, and if you’re feeling a physical symptom, tap the area that’s being affected. As you’re tapping you can also say out loud or in your head: “This is not mine. Please go.” Breathe into the area where you’re tapping and you can even visualize a white light moving into this space to help you clear the energy.
When you intuitively feel that you’re finished, stop tapping and gently rest the palms of your hands onto your body where you just tapped. Visualize the white light flowing with ease across your whole body. Finish by taking three deep breaths in through your nose and out of your mouth.
