Hello all,
Have you ever had the experience of momentary embodiment of other people's energy? i'm empathic, working on more solid boundaries.

I've been noticing over the last few years that i tend to store other people's energy in me. (a feminine trait especially with old intimate partners and friends.) this is especially strong with people who i have shared deep intimacy with, and even sometimes people they have shared deep intimacy with. it's like i'm finally realizing the power of energetic merging of sexual and deep intimate relations. kind of like a family tree of sexual energetic relations.

The way this feels for me is as if I'll drop into someone's character (facial expressions, movements, sounds, and general vibe) it's more intense than just picking up someone's common expressions like when you pick up someone elses laugh or saying. i actually for a very quick moment, actually feel the person in me. kind of a shape-shifting of sorts. it feels similar to when i've jumped into the feeling of what it is like to be a certain animal.

the issue is, it comes uninvited. when i've done it with animals, it's through a concious decision on my part to explore, meditate with, and experience an animal. it's especially spooky when it pops up while i'm having my own sexual expression and some old lover's vibes channel in. eek!

this feels more like stagnant energy. maybe it's good and the energy is moving out of me. sometimes i feel like there's too much old energy from the past stagnating and mucking up the free-flow of my own divine creative energy in my vessel.

any ideas to effeciently usher out these old energies to make room for the full me? boundary strengthning excersizes, clearing excersizes.

i am very familiar with chakra clearing and angel assistance. also have done some shamanic trance work. maybe i just need to devote more time to these paths that i know.

if anyone has that special key technique to help with clearing past energies esp. sexual and intimate friends and partner energies, i'd really appreciate you sharing them.

Thanks!

  • This is all so very interesting. I am very empathic and pick up on clients energy a lot. I've even had to take time off because it's become to much. I'm going through some sort of energy shift right now. My anxiety levels are through the roof. I found out a week ago that one of my ex-boyfriends killed himself. He struggled with bi-polar, for many many years. He wasn't exactly kind to me due to his disorder, but I knew he respected me because he wrote to me from prison asking for forgiveness. He was hoping he'd have me back in his life too, but I didn't allow it. I did forgive him and allow him peace in his heart for how he treated me. I did think and hoped he'd pull it all together, but apparently the darkness was to strong. He was even practicing reiki for awhile. I dreampt of him last night and visited his old apartment in my dream to say goodbye to him. It was very strange. anyways this is a perfect example of how we're all part of the intricate universal web. So not only am I a bodyworker, empathetic, but I'm also a very intuitive Aquarius. I pick up on things about people from the beginning. I can psychicly connect with their emotional state within like 5 minutes. Anyways some things I do to help protect me are saging my whole house, myself, nature walks, bodywork with very special friends, and surrendering all my pain and others to the universe. It's a constant journey and I'm always awaking to new pain, and new joys. Take deep breathes recognize how you feel, don't let the energy consume you. I also do belly breathing. Put one hand on belly, one on your heart, take deep breathes pushing out from your belly, exhaling down and out your feet. Do this continuously for a few minutes, eventually your body wll take on it's on rythmn, hearing your cry for peace and help you heal. I also pick up on other peoples sexual energy and it can be intense. We are a very suppressed society and things are shifting in the cosmos. There is much movement and people are awaking, rebelling, and needing to release a lot of pent up sexual energy. We are all a mirror for each other. It can can be scary and exciting all at once. We just need to support each other through these times of expression without judgement....You'll figure out what works for you....Good Luck, Lots of Love...Joy
    • I have difficulties sometimes with getting too mixed in with others. I have developed many strategies over time to keep myself clear. I use these strategies regularly as my job creates a lot of intimacy with my clients and I get very mixed when working. I believe that I am this way for a reason and that I have the capacity to help people because of my empathic-ness. i have also had to constantly work on boundaries and learn that it isn't always a help to others to process their feelings for them or "carry" them. I struggle with this sometimes especially with people that I love. It is hard for me to watch someone suffer without taking some of it for them.

      The thing that I have found to be most helpful is recognizing that it is not only them pulling on my energy but also my wish to help them which makes it difficult for me to maintain energetic boundaries. I have a strategy that I find most helpful in these situations. I have tapped into my concept of the "world tree" the branches go up into the cosmos and the roots go deep into our own mother earth. When I feel people pulling on me instead of just dropping them or cutting them off cold I plug them into this tree and in this way connect them into God/Goddess/Source. That way they are getting their needs met in a better way than pulling on me and I feel that I have connected them into a source of pure love so I do not have to worry if they will be OK.

      I have learned that because of my sensitivity casual sex is not a very good option for me. I am careful who I choose to be intimate at this level with. I have also found it helpful to intentionally separate after being in such intimate contact with others. We each thank each other and take back what is ours. I find that it is way more effective to have all parties involved intentionally do this instead of trying to do it by yourself.
  • Sometimes, spirits hang out with us, because we are open to it, or/and they are ignorant that they have somewhere better to be/ to go. I know some hypnostists can help to release these spirits, and help you to develop a better spiritual immunity. (5-PATH hypnosis comes to mind.) There are also malevolent energies we can pick up through intimate contact, as well as other ways. I'm not sure if that is the case with you, but perhaps something to check out. (A 5-PATH practitioner should also be able to help with this.)
  • I have read that all women store the energies of past lovers and this is one of the reasons for being more circumspect in using sexual energies.

    But many people do no seem to be clear of one lover before they take on the next. So it can get jumbled up.

    Psyco/sexual/creative energy is the strongest in the universe!!!! So use it wisely. It is very powerful and our ego's like us to waste it.

    IT created the stars and the heavens and the planets etc

    Other than that WE ALL connect to lovers in avery strong way - READ "Cutting the Ties that bind. "

    Because past strong links may well still be hooked in to your energy system!! ANother reason to choose partners carefully and wisely.

    These are cords that no matter how long or how far apart you are you are still linked. I was told to SEE the cord between you and the other and stretch it from the Solar Plexus then cut it and warp it round the back and then tie in a reef knot at the front!

    Recently I felt such a strong and relentless bond with an abusive EX that i did this with ALL my chakras!!

    Also there could be Frozen emotional energy of unfinished business usually around the solar plexus area and a Serious meditation is to get into a good breathing quiet mind space and then see a sacred flame melt and burn this until it evaport#ate to ABsolutely NOTHING! BUT BE CAREFUL not to be taken lightly as there maybe issues you havent dealt with that still need you to look at them and you have to be ready to do this and it can be emotionally disturbing and upsetting like stored up Grief. It may need a lot of time to deal with.

    BEST of ALL the Divine Feminine aspect of opposite to mother creator is MOTHER DEATH SO ASK YOU INNER DIVINE MOTHER TO HELP YOU. AND THANK HER AFTER.

    I urge everyone not to mess too much with chakra energy unless you are sure of what you are doing and it is Good Clean and Positive.

    Are you grounded enough because that helps to take negativity down into the earth to become compost for something good for all concerned. so as you breath down to the heart of the earth see the neg energy return to earth and say those words and then breath up the support of the Great Mother into the base chakra and up the spine. Then Breath the heavenly father energy down into the crown and down to the earth.

    This will get your energy running linear and both energises and cleanses and strengthens AS WELL as helping the planet

    This is what should be natural - with practice running your energy linear can take a few mins and several good breaths.

    So it is worth spenf#ding time on initially. IT helps stop the energy going out to other and theirs coming in to you if you will make sure your SOLAR PLEXUS is only 5cms across.

    SO NOT OUTWARD AND and pulling in from others But See spirals of light energy rising up from the earth through the base of spine SILVER and Golden heavenly necter from above down thru the crown CROSSING OVER in your Heart.
    With your breath.

    The PLUS side is if you get your energy right You will come into BALANCE then those that are near you will begin to vibrate into their own BALANCE THIS IS TRUE HEALING!! Not interfering!

    BIG LOVE
