We live in a world that can feel overwhelming, confusing and sometimes scary and can often feel helpless to do anything about it, other than put our heads down and get on with it. Ploughing ourselves into work, distracting ourselves with our phones or other habits which can be relaxing in moderation (this is not about judgement), but in excess can feed our disconnection from how we really feel inside, which leads to merely existing rather than truly living.
If this resonates, I want you to know that you are not alone. Most of us are feeling this to some degree, regardless of whether you are an experienced yogi, meditate daily, journal like a Duracell bunny or have the best self-care practice in the world. We can still feel it sometimes, and having great spiritual or wellbeing practices can even make us feel worse because we presume all our ducks should be in a row and we ought to be Teflon coated to the drama in the world. Not so. We are human beings currently being barraged from all sides by often heavy, negative energy in our day-to-day lives.
What is negative energy and where does it come from?
Energy, as in the energy every living thing is made up of not the calories in your smoothie, can be described in many ways, but I find the easiest way to understand it is this;
Imagine yourself as a battery (a good quality one not a pound shop one) You have slept well and feel enthusiastic and resilient. You have loads of va va voom and are raring to go, setting off on your day with a smile on your face and a trail of good vibes in your step, ready to smile at the world and the people you meet. You walk to your car and come across your neighbour, you ask them how they are and they say ‘I’m OK but I’m fed up that the bin men didn’t come when they were supposed to and I’ve got a bad knee’ that shiny new battery loses some of its charge, much like your phone loosing charge throughout the day. You continue to your destination and get stuck in traffic, making you late, which is frustrating because you made sure you left plenty of time but didn’t plan for the random roadworks that appeared overnight. Your positive battery is now quickly losing its charge, and you still have the full day ahead of you. When you finally arrive at work, your colleague has called in sick, so you have two people’s work to do, and your boss is demanding a report by lunchtime. Yet more draining from your battery and it’s not yet noon, you can see where this is going. Lunchtime arrives and you catch up on the news, scrolling through the stories of war, greed, political unrest and then trudge your way through the rest of your day, already feeling drained. You pick up your kids from school who are bickering and grumpy, by this point your battery is in negative equity and you are glancing at the clock to see if its wine time yet. By the time you fall into bed, totally depleted you let out the breath you’ve unknowingly been holding all day and fall into a fitful sleep.
Any of this sound familiar? If so, fear not. Here are some simple ways that you can protect your battery life so that it remains either fully charged, or easily recharged, throughout the day, they are free and do not involve any specialist equipment such as stretchy pants, matcha lattes or an hour-long mantra meditation.
Firstly, energy flows where intention goes, so be clear about your intention to protect your energy throughout the day.
- Before you get out of bed in the morning, affirm to yourself ‘I am connected, I am protected, I am loved, I am safe’
- Next, if you feel comfortable to do so, call on the support of Archangel Michael, he is the angel of protection (you can call on his protection even if you feel like you don’t believe in angels, they don’t mind and they will still protect you) simply ask him to place his cloak of protection over you, imagine him placing it over your body (a bit like Harry Potters cloak of invisibility) or see a blue ball of light enveloping your whole body, you can also extend this protection to include your family, friends and even pets.
- Set the intention to actively avoid (where possible) situations, stories or people that will likely decrease your battery life.
- Optional step but helpful, carry a dark crystal such as a piece of tourmaline, black onyx or heamatite in your pocket which you have programmed for protection (programming just means telling it you want it to protect you)
- If you notice your battery draining throughout the day, re-affirm that you are connected, protected, loved and safe (you can do this in your head of course, but bonus points if you feel comfortable enough to share it with your coworkers) If you do encounter situations, stories or people who drain your battery, wash your hands afterwards and intend that you are rinsing or cleansing away any negative energy from that exchange. This is especially good if you meet a lot of different people in your day, such as public service workers, healthcare, hairdressers and the hospitality industry.
- Take a shower or bath when you get home or before bed, or even just as you wash your face and clean your teeth, call in from the Universe, God, The Moon, The Planets, your Guides, the Angels etc. (whichever resonates with you) to cleanse away any negative energy you have picked up from others throughout the day and imagine a bubble of golden light surrounding you, filling you with recharged positive energy (it’s the equivalent of sticking your phone on charge)
- Call upon Archangel Michael again before bed (or any angels, guides or belief system you work with) and ask him to cut away any negative energetic chords or connections that you have inadvertently made or got caught up in throughout the day and to seal the ends with golden light. Then ask to be recharged while you sleep.
Et voila! Now you can go through your day safe in the knowledge that if someone gets all up in your face about something, it won’t stick, it will just slide right off you like an ice cream down a radiator. Not only will you radiate light onto everyone you meet, but it turn you will likely stop them from transferring their negativity onto others, like a ripple effect, and that my friend is how we heal the world.
