In an earlier article I talked of balanced and unbalanced energy. (If you haven’t read it, you can take a quick look here.)
For a quick recap, balanced energy in an empath is one where you can share your space with others, possibly share some energy while together, but then leave and take only your own energy (in the form of thoughts, emotions, etc) back with you.
With unbalanced energy, energy leaks can occur, leaving some of your energy displaced with others, and having those voids filled with thoughts and emotions that aren’t your own. Not only is this unhealthy as it leads to confusion and unintentional inauthenticity at times, but it’s exhausting!
So! I have a quick meditation you can do anywhere, at any time, that I’ll guide you through now to take your power back.
..Ready?
First, I recommend lying or sitting down, if you can. Get as comfortable as possible.
Close your Eyes.
Breathe in deep, feeling the air fill your lungs. Exhale Out.
On the inhale, you think: “I call all my energy back to me.”
And on the exhale: “I release all others’ energies back to other people.”
Do this a minimum of 3x, and until you feel a sense of calm and release.
Now if you have a little more time, I recommend taking the time to really feel your breath, and breathe deeply so that you feel smooth and calm before even beginning the mantra.
Also feel as you allow the muscles in your jaw to relax, and your shoulders to drop.
If you have even more time, I encourage you to take this a step further:
Call Your Power Back. As well as calling your energy back, you’re also going to call your power back on the inhale.
Release Others Thoughts and Desires back to them. We’re now not only releasing the energy on the exhale, but we’re getting more specific and releasing specific thoughts and desires set upon us.
Take the time to feel. Allow yourself right here, right now, to feel grounded, and feel comfortable with your own wants/thoughts. It may sound silly, but it’s not always easy to be left with JUST our own thoughts..especially if we’ve gotten used to standards being set upon us, so really let that sink in.
Feel that sense of confidence being restored. Know you are loved, lovable, and love.
5. For an added touch, call light to you on the inhale. Released old situations, doubts, and circumstance back to the past on your exhale.
