It just did not feel right

6 Ways to Protect Your Energy from Energy Zappers by Makenzie Kelly
Whether you are on the fence about what energy means to you, we all have it. In fact, I can hook you up to an EKG machine and instantly tell you whether your heart has a healthy energy rhythm or not! Our entire bodies are arranged on many levels of energetic principals and some that we don't even know about!
So you know when you're around some people or events that just drain your energy? You know who I'm talking about, is it Aunt Martha that likes to talk a lot about her health problems, or is it the boss that pushes his agenda onto you? Here are 6 Great Tips to Protect your energy from them!
1. Realize that it is YOUR energy and you don't have to share it
Often times you feel an obligation to share your energy with someone that may clearly breach your space and energy. Women are very susceptible to this because we think that we must be nice, or we must be accommodating. We don't want to offend anyone, so we'd rather allow them to infringe our energy and suck us dry. This does not honor your energy! When you feel someone breaching your energy, take a step back and evaluate. Ask yourself, "Who's energy am I sharingand it is worth it?"
2. GROUND your Energy
Ever heard of the phrase, your best defense is a good offense? This is the same concept. Having in your awareness that your energy should be grounded will allow you to not be susceptible to energy zappers. One way to do this is to align your body in a straight up and down position, and close your eyes. You can also imagine an imaginary line running from your belly button to the ground (3 or 4 feet below you) and then from your belly button, to chest through your head and to the sky. In ancient cultures this would be called, "Aligning your Hara", but we'll call it Getting Grounded. Take three deep breaths and concentrate on getting grounded. This will allow you to align your energy to be fully aware of your surroundings and your energy. So key!
3. Your Time,5819 Ugg Classic Cardy Grey Boots, Your Money and Your Resources are Energy
Has anyone ever taken up too much of your time? Is it that pesky sales person or the obligations that you feel to run the PTA, or to clean the house inside and out every day? Or have people asked for money and you did not want to give it? It just did not feel right? These are all examples that your energy extends to your resources beyond your body. Honoring your time energy, and your money energy to be in alignment with what is true for you instead of what is true for others is another way to eliminate those energy zappers. If you spend your resources because you feel obligated rather than having the choice or the desire to do so zaps your energy. Be aware of your choices regarding these energies.
4,but should you have one if your have a weight problem. NO is the new YES
This is a wonderful saying that a good friend Ken Bechtel at Finding You in the Goo uses constantly. Instead of feeling energetically that NO is a negative concept, realize that when you say no, you are saying YES to yourself. And who is the most important person in this world to you? YOU. So, honor your importance and be okay with saying NO to others, you are in fact saying YES to yourself!
5. Boundaries, Boundaries, Boundaries
When I first realized I had boundary issues, I immediately thought "No way,making money and dealing with life's obstacles, people with boundary issues are those that are like doormats, they'll do whatever, whenever for whoeverthat's not me." But it was, and it was a horrible eye opener!
Boundaries come in many shapes and sizes,Learning from Successful People. Boundaries, whether physical, or energetic, are so very important to honoring yourself. Are you getting pushed around at work because you are not willing to stand up and fight the good fight? It is just easier to go with the flow? Are you uncomfortable with how fast your spouse drives the car with your kids in the car, but you aren't allowed to say anything? These are all examples of boundaries. It is really about you—not about them. In order to be clear about your boundaries, you must be clear about what you are okay with, and what you are not okay with.
6. Push or Pull Your Energy When necessary
When confronted with a persistent energy, it may become necessary to Push your energy, or to Pull on another's energy. What this essentially does is gives you the POWER to be able to make change, get proactive and take back your energy. I have found that when I am in contact with someone who likes to pull my energy, or drain me, I often have to PUSH back. Sometimes I give little warnings, or little signals, and when they do not respond, and then I give a decent energetic push. It does not have to be mean, and the push can come from a simple statement with good intentions. "I'd really love to explain why I did what I did, but I do not feel that this is the right time or place to engage in such a conversation." Assertive, respectful, and direct. This is what occurs when your energy is in alignment with your intentions.
You may be thinking that a lot of this is dealing with normal human emotions, but there is an energetic shift that occurs even before the emotions occur or the discussion happens. This is the energy that I am talking about. Most of you have felt energy when you're around someone that is angry, the energy feels harsh, or when you're around someone depressed, the energy feels draining. Protecting yourself from the volatile energy zappers starts with you, a good defense and an awareness of energy.
For now, Be Grounded, Be Whole, and Be Energetically Adventurous!!
