Recently someone asked for guidance on how to protect a person from absorbing other people’s energy. This person has been doing energy healing therapy and still has not progressed much in some areas. She believes she is absorbing other people’s energy as she can be calm and happy and suddenly irritated when around others making her feel like running away.

As an individual goes through a healing protocol they show progress. However, there is a side of the healing that requires a shift in the way the individual sees life, events, and how they perceive past events. In other words, to fully heal there is a mindful transmutation and awareness of behavior, thoughts, and beliefs that needs to be manifested in real-time.

Healing with energy protocols may seem to be magical there is a sense of magic to it. However, often we need to be active participants in the healing, and this requires conscious effort. Otherwise, the progress may take longer.

I do not know the details of the person the fellow healer was talking about, however, I was able to sense that there is still emotional baggage to clear, deep sorrows combined with resistance to face the pain along with inability to forgive. This last is devastating when is directed to self. 

When a person’s energy fluctuates easily from happy to irritated to impulsive  as they are exposed to a trigger, it is very common to find that there are influencing energies like blame and judgment contributing to the shift in the emotional state. Wanting to run away is a reaction and not a response to a situation. When triggered the autonomous nervous system allows you to react in three ways: fight, flight, or freeze. In recent times we have seen how people become aggressive and illogical in reasoning presenting themselves as victims, and martyrs. Or worse, they become numb to what the good they have believe g they are not worthy to receive love, feeling they are not understating or seen, and begin to believe they don’t belong in this world. 

In this case there  is a level of resistance to see the relationship or situation turn around for the best. Feeling this has become too familir, hence the hesitation to allow healing to flow.

Other times person’s resistance is anchored by experiencing memory cords, fractured memories, which may eventually become inflamed with the need of retaliation as a way to feel vindicated. 

Do not take lightly the phrase “We mirror ourselves in others”.  I have learned from different spiritual teachers, and from spiritual development books that we are all have a level of responsibility in each situation even when we “are not at fault”.  I know you think this is crazy, but I have experienced it to be true. I have learned to ask myself this powerful question, “what is that I see in them that I do not like about myself?”.  Once you find the answer, the healing process begins.

Healing opens the door to explore and (hopefully) practice unconditional love and radical forgiveness. Learning this practice seems impossible until you internalize that it is ALL about healing and correcting the energies within yourself. I know that taking responsibility for the situation is a foreign concept, however, it is worth exploring. Forgiveness protocols are powerful tools that lead you into a journey of self-awareness, unconditional acceptance, and surrender to the highest power in the Universe … LOVE.
