Balancing Energy? Where to start...

[Tsheaby]

Hi everyone. I’m new to the forum and learning. I can’t seem to find a search option so I do apologize if this is already covered somewhere and I haven’t located it. I have a couple questions about some things that I was hoping someone could guide me to the correct thread so I can expand on them a bit more. I'm just not familiar with what to associate these with quite yet.

My whole life I have been intuitive, people tell and have told me this for years saying that I just have a good read on people. I'm an empath and in more recent years it has become exhausting and I've exhibited a more introverted lifestyle.

When I am out and about and paying attention, sometimes I can see the glow people presenting from themselves and I later linked this to auras. Other times I don't see anything, but I can "feel vibes" someone is putting off.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is this all linked to learning how to balance energy? Are Chakras where I would start? I had heard it can be tiresome for empaths who may be attracting and absorbing other people's energy (like a magnet), but heard that if you learn how to turn this off and balance the distribution of your own and other's energy, it can help?

Start with a proper grounding technique, and this is not a 5 minute practice once a week and growing roots out your feet. I'm talking proper grounding, which at first will take 20-30 mins. Do this several times a week, preferably each day. In time you will need to do it less, it's practice makes perfect, and the grounding won't disappear so fast anymore once you practice enough.

Also learn to shield yourself. So these two things. Vitally important.
You can also ask the question: do I need to see these/feel things? Should I do something with it, like tell someone, warn someone. You will know the answer.
Most of the time it's 'no'. This will help to shut it down or make it less and will help get control.
I did it each time I picked up something about someone. "Do I have to let them know or not?" the answer was always "No".
I simply decided if the info was useless to me, I didn't want to pick it up anymore either. That's fine-tuning your antenna.

The 2 things that are crucial are grounding & shielding, also do this before you go out among people. Once your grounding stays in place most of the time, and your shielding too, you can add extra shielding by donning AA Michael's blue cloak when out and about, covering hands, feet, head, if need be face too, except eyes.
Works a treat.

It's all linked to your perceptions. It's perceptions that polarise energy and not the energy itself - energy has no polarity but people's judgements do. Energy simply flows from here to there and you perceive it, and when you don't perceive it as positive or negative it then there's no perception of it needing balancing.

Attracting energy is one thing but you have a choice as to whether or not you absorb, and how you experience the energy. The secret is visualisation and when you use that technique how you experience energies is completely transformed. Imagine energy as a flow like a stream, and what flows to you also flows away from you. Visualise yourself as a stone in the stream and, for a time, the energy flows to you and touches you. For a few moments you experience the energy but it flows past you again, leaving you untouched. The more 'solid' the visualisation the more effective it will be.

As an empath it can be tiring feeling someone's energies but again visualisation helps. For the time you experience them you can gain an understanding of the person at a level deeper than most could experience and yes, sometimes it does feel as though their energies become yours. It's easy to feel as though you've been swamped but visualise their energies dissipating and your own re-asserting themselves. Choose whatever visual or ritual works best for you. One way of clearing energies from yourself is to sit with your hands clasped in you lap, palms upwards. Visualise a hole in your stomach/chakra where the unwanted energies pour out into your hands. When you feel as though you've cleared them, offer up the energies to the Universe again.

Hello,

I think and feel that chakra balancing is very important. Some Yoga schools get very involved with the exercises at this link.

That glow you can some times see from others is coming from their merkabah energy field. I happen to have a very strong field which kind of shocks those who can see or feel it as you do. May I say that I have been doing that last exercise on my link every day for many years.

It is good to become aware of another's energy by experiencing it however it is not advisable to let that experience Take Over You. We are all kind of different in how best to stay balanced once you get exposed to strong energetic experiences. As a teen, some 50 years ago, I was advised to become transparent to those energies. For the most part that works for me but not always. Then I need to use some specific form of self love to balance myself, depending on the circumstance.

Things like this happen to lots of empaths and telepaths. Its kinda like their curse at the start, to feel exhausted and then become more introvert. (Hermit card in Tarot)

It is a natural right of passage if you like.
Chakra's are more your direct radio link to the universe's energy but its a good start.

What I would sugguest if you did not want to be so drained is to look at herbalism and the vibration of food and plants to give you extra energy when needed but the most imortant thing is to build up your own energy reserves.

I guess you have been. By being more intervert, but how about limiting yourself to high drainning people? Some people will uplift you with their energy and others will suck it dry on a spiritual level.

This is kinda the rights of passage thing. Getting to know who will help you grow and who will steal the very life away from you.

Feel free to message me if you would like some more help or want to chat about it some more :-)
