Welcome to the second edition of Your Energy Connection Corner! As we begin to dive into our examination of various energies, let us first begin with YOU. You are your own unique energy or essence. Thinking of this often conjures up images of fancy perfumes for me… you are “eau de YOU”. There is no other essence out there quite like you. What an amazing creation you are and what an amazing life you are creating. Your every choice is a creation and YOU are an amazing act of creation with the Universe. We are each co-creating with the Universe in each and every moment. I always feel such awe when contemplating all of us unique souls on the planet and how amazingly beautiful and creative each and every one of us is.
For many of us, we are also very sensitive and we pick up on so much energy constantly. We are sensing how the people around us are feeling, how our children are feeling, how our pets are feeling, how our co-workers are feeling, how the physical space we’re in feels to us and even how the air around us feels. It’s a lot!
From birth we sense the people, places and things around us and we glean subtle messages, creating our own stories based on these compilations of sensing and experiences. We will choose to respond to all the energies we’re sensing in an infinite number of ways largely depending on our sense of security and belonging and self worth. It is very easy to get lost in our responses and our stories and lose ourselves… lose our own sense of Self. When this happens we have lost our sense of our own essence, our own energy. We may have entirely forgotten that we even have our own energy that is unique to us. We can be so busy processing and sensing everything else that we lose touch with our own energy. We lose ourselves.
Therefore, it seems important to start our exploration of energy with the energy of YOU. You have your own energy and your own essence. Discerning what is YOU and what is NOT YOU is something we can all practice and get better at as we learn, grow, and expand our range of understanding. I once had a teacher who put it to me this way “if it’s yuck… it’s NOT YOU”. Your own energy will not feel like yuck.
This doesn’t mean you’ll feel happy and carefree all of the time, of course. But, your own energy will move and flow and even sadness can feel good sometimes. When we try to process another’s energy in our own space as if it’s our own, we can feel like we’re not getting anywhere and it doesn’t feel good at all. When we are sensitive or empathic we can feel very uncomfortable as we sense the anger or pain of someone else and carry that energy in our own energy field.
We will explore this much more in later volumes of Your Energy Connection Corner. But, for now, practice discerning what is YOU… and start to own this as you let go of the rest.
