“Energy, like you, has no beginning and no end. It can never be destroyed. It is only ever shifting states.” – Panache Desai
Everything is energy. Everything in this world has an energetic vibration. This includes people, jewellery, clothing, furniture, crystals, houses, buildings, toys, etcetera.
Think about buildings and places where historical events have occurred. You can feel and sense the energy of those times. It may be happy, sad, dense, heavy, spiritual, peaceful, etc.
All the other items mentioned above are the same. So, imagine how much your energy can be impacted daily! Think about the age you are now, all your interactions and all your experiences… that is a lot of energy!
Both good and unpleasant events affect our lives. This transfers as positive and negative energy. The positive energy feeds and nurtures your soul, raising your vibration and life force energy. The negative energy lowers your vibration and may leave you feeling depleted like you are sometimes running on empty.
So, picture, if you will, your daily routine. From the moment you wake up until the time you go to bed. Think about all the things that directly and indirectly affect you emotionally and physically, kids, partner, work, people, trauma, interactions, music etc.
Now imagine beginning that day feeling good, happy, and with positive high vibrational energy. Now imagine feeling tired, cranky and a negative, and low vibration. Which version of you do you think will feel better at the end of the day?
Other everyday events that can affect your energy are going into a store or trying on clothing that someone else has tried on, shopping centres, buying a secondhand piece of furniture, wearing someone else’s jewellery, being in someone else’s car, house etc. Why? Because energy transfers.
Energy affects everybody. The difference between all individuals that can make a difference is the awareness they have of energy, their spiritual growth and evolution in consciousness.
This information is not to make you feel fear or paranoid. It is simply to bring awareness to the energetic beings that we are and how energy works. Most of the time, you can go about your day without being too affected, but if you are, you now have a better understanding as to why.
If you are sensitive to energy or an empath, you will feel the effects more than others.
So, what can you do about it? First and foremost, awareness is key. Be aware of how you feel, your mood and your energy levels before you venture out, whether it be work, shopping, visiting a friend, a restaurant etc. If your mood or energy changes abruptly or for no apparent reason, it may be highly likely that something, someplace, or someone, has shifted your energy somehow.
You must also remember that all your issues and traumas are energetically carried in your auric field and create stagnant energy or blocks and behaviours that are not in your highest good. This will impact your energetic frequency and be present all the time. Even when you are feeling good, it will run in the background, using your life force energy and can pop up randomly if not dealt with.
Healing is one of the most effective ways in which to shift and clear that energy. Healing sessions deal with the issues whilst also clearing all other energy that may be in and attached to your auric field. It creates a more energetic flow and space for the integration of new awareness, lessons, and growth for your highest good.
Other ways to shift, cleanse and clear your aura and your home and car from time to time are to;
1. Listen to music.
2. Dance or sing.
3. Take a bath or swim in the ocean.
4. Use Sage/ Palo Santo to cleanse yourself, your home, and car.
5. Ring a bell around you and your home.
6. Burn incense.
7. Ground yourself.
Whether you are at the beginning of your journey or years/decades deep into it, you most likely have experienced life as an emotional roller coaster from time to time. Sometimes due to your stuff, people’s energy around you or the collective energy.
As a healer and psychic medium, I sometimes need to remind myself that not all I am feeling is mine. Although the awareness is there, I can get caught up in life and the emotions I experience in situations and interactions just like anybody else. Many times, it is my own, and many times, it is not mine, but feeling and experiencing it like it is mine. Being sensitive to energy can make it hard to distinguish what is mine and what is not.
I have had to learn through repeated experiences to discern which is which. For example, when I have a client, ninety-nine percent of the time, I will find that my mood may shift abruptly and behave or think like them. Sometimes even dressing, or choosing particular colours or jewellery that they love!
I used to think my energy was off or things were just a coincidence, but I could not ignore it when I observed the same behaviours in my clients when they walked in! I now know that is how I work and that it is an insight into what may need to be discussed and/or healed, as the feelings and behaviours are always extremely specific.
The same can also happen with Spirit energy. When they merge with my energy, I will experience the emotions and physical pain they experienced on this earth plane. Although I have my boundaries with Spirit, it can be tricky to discern if it is my own experience when they pop in unexpectedly.
Energetic healing sessions have been one of the most prominent sources of clearing and shifting my energy and maintaining it in flow for me to be a pure and clear conduit and connection to Universal life force energy.
Energetic awareness and growth will always bring what needs to be healed to the surface. It is an empowered way and choice to have clear-flowing energy and to expand and grow in your personal and professional life.
