If you are absorbing other people’s energy, you know the feeling. You walk into a room feeling fine and leave feeling drained. A coworker’s bad mood becomes your bad mood. A crowded event leaves you with a headache that disappears the moment you are alone. You are not imagining it. And the solution is probably not what you think.
Why Energy Shielding Does Not Work (And What Does)
A friend of mine recently had to leave a big event. Not because it was too loud or chaotic. She said, “It is just too much energy.” She also told me about a Zoom call where a headache came on out of nowhere. As soon as one person left the meeting, the headache disappeared.
She had been using a method called shielding, creating an energy container around herself to protect herself energetically. But it was not working.
I used to teach shielding too. Until a spiritual mentor asked me something that changed everything: “Why would you block yourself from the flow of energy? We are connected to everything.”
That is when I stopped teaching protection and started teaching strengthening your own auric field. It is like being the confident kid on the playground that the bullies do not go after. There is nothing to protect from. You are strong in your own center and that radiates out and goes with you wherever you go.
A 3-Minute Practice to Strengthen Your Energy Field
Step 1: Breathe Into Your Center
Place your hand on your belly. Take three slow, deep breaths. Feel your energy come home to your center. You are not pulling anything in. You are simply gathering yourself.
Step 2: Feel Your Own Field Expand
Imagine your energy radiating out from your center in all directions, like a warm golden light. It fills the space around you, about three feet in every direction. This is your field. It belongs to you.
Step 3: Affirm Your Sovereignty
Say to yourself: “I am strong in my own center. I am connected to everything and overwhelmed by nothing. My energy is my own.” Feel those words land in your body.
The Deeper Work: Why You Absorb Energy in the First Place
If you are consistently absorbing other people’s energy, there is usually a subconscious pattern underneath. Beliefs like “I have to take care of everyone’s feelings,” “Other people’s pain is my responsibility,” or “I am only valuable when I am helping” create an energetic porousness that no shielding technique can fix.
When we release these beliefs at the subconscious level using PSYCH-K®, something beautiful happens: you can be deeply empathic and compassionate without losing yourself in the process.
