Lately I’ve been feeling low — head-achy at times, my energy level is low, my mood is sad (on the verge of tears), and I feel a heavy energy, almost like a weight, pushing down on me. It’s clear that the cause of my depressed state of mind isn’t anything that’s going on in my own life. My life is actually great right now! So it must be a result of the sadness and stress that’s happening in the lives of the people around me. (Not to mention the planetary upset right now, i.e. hurricanes, earthquakes, etc.) The past week has been a tumultuous one for many of the people in my every day life; my kids, my co-workers, and my friends. I’ve always been sensitive to the energy of others, and this sensitivity seems to be increasing. I’m not sure I like it.
Every morning I ask Archangel Michael and St. Germain to surround me with protection and every night, Archangel Michael clears my chakras and cuts any energetic cords (not serving my highest good) that were attached during the day. So, why have I been carrying other peoples negative junk around all week long? I definitely don’t like it.
I’m aware there are various techniques for raising your vibration/releasing negative energy, but when I’m feeling this way I don’t want to put effort into anything, even when I know it might make me feel better. However, enough is enough. It’s time for action. Instead of sitting around in a funk, or taking another nap, I’m going try a few things and see what helps.
1. Walk outdoors: As I walked, I tried to focus on breathing in light and blowing out the darkness, but I wasn’t really able to put my heart into it. Along the way, there were a few things that made me smile, but only half-heartedly. One strange thing was, I passed a man who smiled the most radiant, love-filled smile and said hello, and it made me feel like crying. I hate to admit it, but I think I felt jealous of his obvious joy. After about 45 minutes walking outdoors, I’m actually feeling heavier.
2. Salt bath: Correction – Reiki infused salt bath: (Duh. You know Reiki. Use it!) Still, not feeling much better. In fact, no difference at all.
3. Watch a funny video (Seinfeld, Season 1, Episode 4 – The Robbery): Meh. Still heavy.
4. Late lunch with my lovely friend: Bingo! And to think I almost cancelled! Even though I was a wreck by the time I got there (when she asked how I was doing, I burst into tears), by the end of our time together I was feeling like a new person. Thank God!
Lesson learned. When all else fails, friends will pull you through. Thank you, my dear, sweet friend. You know who you are 😉
