There are a number of ways to avoid being affected by people’s energy. Shielding is one preventative technique you can use. Center yourself & envision being enveloped in a cocoon of loving & protective light. This protective layer should allow you to consciously regulate the energy around you. The intent to shield oneself is all you need for this technique to work. You can even create a trigger word to assist you in quickly creating a shield. Say this word each time you create a new shield, until the word & the shield become automatically associated in your mind. If you run into a person whose energy you find draining, you may want to cleanse your own energy field after your encounter. Cold showers, singing, mineral water baths, spending time in nature & a simple break to recharge are all ways to accomplish this.
While it is important to know how to shield yourself from energy, there are those energies that you may not want to shut out. The energy of laughter from a newborn baby, the feeling of joy radiating from someone in love & the frequency of calm emanating from an enlightened teacher are just some of the energies coming from others that you may want to have around you.
