I recently had an intense Reiki session with a client who is doing amazing self-healing work.
The topic of 'energy protection' came up, so I wanted to share a few thoughts and practices that I recommend to clients, and I use myself as a highly sensitive person:
》its ok to get emotional, even if others say you are overreacting or to 'calm down' 》finding ways to support your energy so that emotions don't constantly overwhelm you is essential 》use guided meditations for energy protection, I like to recommend Insight Timer 》ensure you are cleansing yourself, your workspace and your home regularly
》 use sage (pictured), incense, space clearing mists, palo santo, candles, flower essences and essential oils 》use visualisation practices to add a protective light/bubble around your body 》 get out into nature as much as you can, even putting your bare feet on the lawn is great
》if you feel like you have taken on other's energy, actively cleanse your aura - smudge, visualise cleansing golden light washing away negative energies. This is an easy practice to do in the shower. You may also invite protection and cleansing from your spirit guides and angels depending on your beliefs.
》ensure you are drinking plenty of filtered water 》stay away from spaces and people that drain your energy as much as possible, if you can't, refer to steps above! 》Book in with a trusted energy healer for an in-person or distant energy healing session, or a space cleansing if needed.
Overwhelm will still happen, but being proactive helps a bunch....
