Realizing I am responsible for my own energy field. I develop a whole new way of being that allows me to observe in neutral compassion while remaining securely in my sovereign authority.
In Part 1 we did a deep dive into what it means to be an empath, working with our energetic body, responsibilities, and dealing with others.
Deeper Dive:
Being empathic can be overwhelming, especially if no clear distinction is made between your energy and that of other’s. The more you are able to remain neutral about every emotion that you feel, the more you will be able to distinguish between your feelings and others. This takes time and practice. We discussed the need for neutrality and detachment in Part 1. Please feel free to read that blog to strengthen your abilities.
Here in part 2, we discuss healthy boundaries and how to construct a healthy, secure energy field. Along with being neutral, it is beneficial to establish healthy boundaries. This widens the space that exists between you and others. And healthy boundaries sets a line in the proverbial sand delineating just how far others can come energetically. Secondly, visualizing your energy field as strong and resilient is critical to managing your empathic abilities. Read on.
Deserve Healthy Boundaries
In order to maintain healthy boundaries, one must know that they deserve to have healthy boundaries. It is a mind-set, a perception, a gauge of self-worth. Until I held myself in highest regard, I was unable to set and maintain healthy boundaries. I would try, but then I would always put others first. As such, others were able to deposit their emotions into my energetic field. Others were able to take refuge inside my sacred space soaking up all my vital life force energy which drained me thoroughly. Others were able to use my energy for their own benefit without any regard for my wellbeing because I allowed it and freely offered it. It was my free-will choice to open myself up to their needs. I thought that was how I cared for others. And, I thought I had to put others ahead of myself otherwise I was selfish.
It came to a point where my health and wellbeing suffered, and I needed to change my perception about self-worth. I needed to understand that I personally deserved to be honored. I personally needed to take care of myself as my number one priority. I needed to put myself first in order to maintain my health and wellbeing. I needed to realize that only when I am healthy and strong am I able to assist others. And I needed to realize that it all came down to healthy boundaries. It was my responsibility to create and maintain healthy boundaries in order to honor and respect myself. Only once I honored and respected myself, could I require that others do the same.
Ironically, with healthy boundaries, I am now able to remain neutral. And only in neutrality am I truly able to assist others. Additionally, I have learned that healthy boundaries is imperative when working with nature spirits and entities of other realms. For, like people, they can take whatever we freely offer, including our vital life force energy. Healthy boundaries create a clear definition of what we choose to allow and not. And other beings respect that.
Setting Healthy Boundaries
Many people have different approaches to establishing healthy boundaries. Here I share my perspective. Please see if my process resonates with you and adapt it to best fit your own understandings of energetic wellbeing.
Healthy boundaries are established when we define our energy body. The outer-most portion of our energy body is where the boundaries are established. Layers. For me, it is easiest when I envision my energetic body as made up of many, many layers. The outer most layers are sensitive to my surroundings and to beings that interact with my energy field. These layers feed me information about others. My awareness of these layers allows me to understand when emotions are coming in from external sources. Thus, I no longer confuse external stimuli with my internal feelings.
The layers of my energy body are woven together in intricate ways. They criss-cross creating a sacred geometry unique to me and my energetic signature. They create a tube-torus that extends 3 feet below my soles and 3 feet above my crown.
Previously, I envisioned my tube-torus as spouting outwards from my crown like a fountain. I thought that being open and loving and accepting of all was for the highest good of all.
However, with that formation, I constantly had energies intruding into my upper chakras. And I was frequently disconnected from my Higher Self, Divine Source. I knew I needed another visual, but I did not understand how or what.
Last week while traveling Germany, I was shown that my fountain of openness was actually like medusa and all her snakes. My fountain was actually my feelers out there attracting energies of all sorts. It was an open door inviting in both good and bad energies. Additionally, I was shown that my fountain was actually me meddling with others where I should not be meddling. I was shocked to learn that what I thought was good intention (my energetic fountain) actually ended up being of low-vibration; a beacon for darkness and energy manipulator. Disappointed by this new awareness, I knew that I needed another visual to assist me in reconstructing my energy field for my own wellbeing and for that of others. I needed a formation that was for the greatest good and highest purpose.
This week, while exploring central Germany, I learned about their asparagus fields. And I received a download about the spiritual energetic significance of the asparagus head.
Tightly bundled together, it forms a strong fractal that comes to a point; allowing only a pinpoint access for an energetic thread back to the Divine Source. Highly secure, geometrically powerful.
I was shown a new visual for my own energy field. I came to understand the unique formation of the asparagus head as the endpoints of my tube-torus energy field.
Like the Sitting Buddha sculpture, the asparagus formation allows all my energy to flow upwards, remaining internal where I can best utilize it. It flows upwards to the pinpoint energy thread to my Higher Self, Divine Source. I remain intact with no energy leaks outwards. I remain a sovereign authority with no open gaps in my energy field that had previously allowed other entities in.
Conclusion:
I feel very strong now. I feel whole and secure. I now can place healthy boundaries around my energy field knowing it will remain intact, easily defined, and unmanipulated by external sources.
