Strange header for a post right?
Well not really if you think about it.
How many here are empathic?
Okay let's try that again.
How many here have a knack for "feeling" or "picking up vibes" from other people or places ( like knowing when someone is angry or sad even if they look and say they are fine, or you get a bad mojo feeling in an area only to find out that something bad happened there before).
Don't worry no one has to answer that.
That question was to:
1-make empathic people aware of what that is called
2-let others know that there are people out there that are sensitive to other peoples feelings ( and even the vibrations that some places have).
So with that out of the way the header "getting to know your own energy" is becoming more pertinent.
For an empath one of the hardest things is figuring out their own emotions from someone elses. That can be a pretty muddy ( and confusing) feeling.
So how do you figure out tit from tat?
Well whether you are sensitive or not, it still helps to learn how your own energy feels. I know it sounds funny.
"Shouldn't I already know what I feel like?"
Can you see your own nose without help? No.
To see your own nose you need a mirror.
To reconize your own energy you just need some practice.
So how do you do this?
Fairly simply. First I suggest a Grounding and Centering. I honestly don't think it's necessary ( I skip this step so I would be a smarmy donkey if I told anyone else they HAVE to do this) however for someone starting off it can really help.
Now the fun part.
Open your mind. That means throw out things like:
"What if I don't FEEL anything?"
"Do I look stupid doing this?"
"I feel stupid"
"Am I doing this wrong?"
And any other negative doubts. I cannot honestly even begin to tell you what you will percieve your own energy as. I could not even begin to tell you how someone else's energy would feel because everyone perceives these things in their own ways.
That is to say that there is no one way. No wrong way. No right way. Pretty nice bit of leeway there so you can see why those doubts really are na necessary.
I can tell you that if you have doubtful thoughts then very little is going to happen because you are hindering yourself. So toss those negative thoughts out the window.
Contact that inner five year old who is willing to believe in anything for a moment and let that child lead you
How is your imagination doing?
Really?
Time to flex it again folks.
I want you to look at the palms of your hands. I know you seen them a thousand times. Now look at them and see that they are portals ( doors, holes, whatever). You can open and close them at will ( you gotta believe though).
Hold your hands just so close together ( palm to palm) that they are almost touching. Perhaps you will feel your own body heat. Or not. Don't worry too much about what you do or do not feel.
Now concentrate on opening those portals in your palms. That is where you are going to concentrate on pushing out energy. You feel it from inside, feel it flow down your arms and out your palms.
That was a visual assist. You may not work that way. If you find something else that works or feels more natural then go with that feeling.
So open those palms and push your energy out.
Here are some things you may ( or may not) feel and there is no limit to the list ( it is only what I can think of so do not let this list be your expectations):
Heat
Cold
"Nothingness"
"Wind"
Magnet pull/push
Heaviness
"Squishyness"
Tingling
Once you sense a difference slowly take your palms apart from each other. Notice whatever it is you are sensing (again this is your own perception).
Push out some more ( I like to visualize that my palms are making "bubbles" and that when they meet in the middle they merge into a big bubble).
Have them as far apart as an apple. As if you were holding one. Play with this sensation. Move your palms slowly towards and away from each other.
Note the sensations.
Heck some people may even "see" something ( I am not one of those types however I have met people who have that talent).
When you are done simply slowly put your palms closer back together and use those portals in your palms to suck back in your own energy.
You can practice this whenever you like. Play with it. Make bigger "bubbles" or spheres. See if you can do individual hands. Note which hand is stronger at pushing and which is better at sucking (some ppl are ambedextrious).
This is YOU. YOURS.
Knowing what YOU feel like makes it so much easier on a person when they pick up on someone elses vibes, emotions, energies etc.
"Does this feel like me? Nope. I wonder who it is?"
For those just beginning these exercises and/or sensitive to others and plan on being around others who may also be sensitive or more aware, I suggest carrying some smokey quartz and/or black tourmaline as they both are good at grounding but even more importantly they are great at providing filters and protection.
I'm no good with Black Tourmaline however I love mah Smokey Quartz.
When you progress from learning your own energy you can always play ( with permission and with someone you TRUST) with another person and see what they feel like. I had a blast in the Reconizing Energy and Energy Manipulation class I took. Making energy "bubbles" ( spheres or also known as psyballs as in psychic energy balls) was a lot of fun.
That was a controlled environment , with safe people and a knowledgeable teacher though. So be careful who you choose to play with ( if you choose to do so anyways) and ALWAYS do so WITH permission ( you would na want someone to tresspass your personal fields would you?).
Well I hope this helped some.
