Do you ever “pick up” negative energy?
My new friend, Jolie, has a terrific video about releasing negative energy: http://youtu.be/-e6ga6S-1X0
As an empath, or Highly Sensitive Person, I found this video especially helpful because if I’m not careful or prepared, I soak up negative energy like a sponge. That can lead to exhaustion, sudden intense waves of emotion and generally getting thrown off track.
Unsure if you’re empathic or a Highly Sensitive Person? Here are a handful of traits empaths often have:
-You feel other people’s feelings;
-Too much negativity overwhelms you and is difficult to brush off;
-You avoid crowds;
-You need alone time every day;
-You are comfortable spending extended periods of time alone;
-You are sensitive to swearing, negative media and negative images;
-You control your environment and crave routines.
Any of these sound familiar? You’re probably an empath.
If they’re not, chances are you know an empath or in a relationship with one. Understanding that empathic traits are not a disease and are actually a gift, goes a long way to understanding emapthic people.
Whether you’re an empath or not, what did you think of the video?
What techniques does Jolie mention that you can use in your life?
