Learning not to absorb the negative energy of the people around you is a great spiritual skill. Empathy is the ability to recognize and feel the emotions of others. Sympathy is a feeling of compassion for other people. Often, being an "empath" means that you absorb most of the pain and suffering of those around you, and this can negatively affect you.
If you've been in a room with a negative person, you know how toxic energy can be. Learning not to absorb other people's negative energy is a great spiritual skill.
Here are 5 ways to protect yourself from the bad influence of other people.
1) Remember that you can't please everyone.
If someone complains about you, don't try to please that person. This will only draw energy from you, and make you energetically dependent on his opinion. Not everyone will love you. People live on earth for a different purpose. Love yourself first and foremost, and you will create a force field that will protect you from the influence of other people's opinions.
Also remember that you can't change everyone. Don't make it your mission. Sometimes the best thing you can do is just not absorb the energy that people project onto you.
2) Be careful about inviting other people into your life.
Your body, mind and immediate environment are your temple. Who will you invite to it? Is this an open invitation? Should people wipe their feet before they enter, or is it okay if they drag dirt into your soul?
If one day you give a man a piece of bread, he will ask for a loaf the next day. If you let someone stay for the weekend, they will try to stay for a week (or two!). I once thought that my wife was cold and mean to some of our neighbors. Once I realized that she was just respecting herself and her home, I appreciated her attitude and accepted it as my own.
It's great to be generous, but there's a fine line to follow to avoid getting trampled on. Learn to say “no” and feel good about it.
3) Stop paying attention to assholes.
The parasite needs a host to survive. When you pay attention to someone else, you give him energy. Energy vampires will steal your thoughts, reducing your energy supply. Some people will dump their negative energy on you and then move on to the next victim.
A friendly ear may be a wonderful thing, but there is, again, a line that no one has the right to cross.
Maybe the other person is pouring out their frustrations at work, in relationships, or even successful accomplishments. All these emotions can drain you and change your life in a bad way. Love yourself, stop people or tell them you're not ready to listen to this right now. This way you will stop absorbing their toxic energy.
4) Breathe in nature.
Go out into nature, meditate, relax and breathe. Purify the water inside you and exercise. Move like a butterfly: gently but quickly. Breathing increases blood flow throughout the body and helps prevent energy absorption from those around you. Walk with confidence, keep your head up, and don't let anyone ruin your mood.
The caterpillar eats everything around it and becomes fat and immobile. It must first become light in order to fly.
5) Take 100% responsibility for your thoughts and emotions.
How you feel is 100% your responsibility. The Universe sends people into our lives to test us. Our perception of ourselves is stronger than our perception of others. You are not a victim and no one has power over you. Consider how your thoughts or expectations are manifested in the situation that is bothering you. What if everything depends on your level of patience, irritability, or compassion?
Once you take responsibility for your reactions, you will connect with yourself on a deeper level. Create situations for yourself that boost your energy levels. Do you feel good around this person? Does this person feel good around you? You are worthy of a brilliant experience, and it is time to realize this.
The science of protecting yourself from the energies of others begins with self-love. Remember that you are worthy of happiness and peace. Remember that it is okay to say no and you are the author of your own energy state.
