What You Can Do To Stop Absorbing Too Much Energy

Here are grounded, effective strategies:

1. Strengthen Your Personal Boundaries

   • Practice saying no without guilt.

   • Limit time with people who consistently drain your energy.

2. Ground Yourself Regularly

   • Use grounding techniques like walking barefoot, deep breathing, meditation, or spending time in nature.

   • Visualization: Imagine roots growing from your feet into the earth.

3. Shielding Visualization

   • Before entering energy-intense spaces, visualize a protective bubble or light around you.

   • Set the intention: “Only positive energy can enter.”

4. Cleanse Your Energy Field

   • Use tools like:

     • Smudging (sage, palo santo)

     • Salt baths

     • Sound (singing bowls, chimes)

     • Breathwork

   *Daily energetic hygiene can prevent buildup.

5. Spend Time Alone to Recharge

   • Prioritize solitude, especially after socializing.

   • Create a calming space where you can decompress.
