Feeling Energy That Isn’t Yours? Here’s What To Do
By Deb Webber
This blog is a follow-on from my last post where I shared a deeply personal experience about physically picking up on Universal energies that didn’t belong to me. If you haven’t read that yet, you can catch up on it [here] (insert link). It sets the foundation for everything we’re about to dive into.
In this post, I want to offer you some simple but powerful tools and tips that I personally use when navigating these types of energetic overloads. This is a vast topic, and I promise to explore it further in future writings, but for now, let’s focus on the essentials—tools to help you feel more empowered, grounded, and aligned when the energy around you becomes too much.
1. Tune In to Your Body: Your Cells Are Listening
We are made of energy. Every cell in your body vibrates with life—and you can connect with that vibration. One of the first steps in energetic awareness is noticing how your body feels. Are you tense? Heavy? Off-balance?
Try this:
-
Close your eyes and bring your attention to the area of your body that feels “off.”
-
Visualise the cells there. Imagine light flooding them—golden, healing, intentional light.
-
Speak to your cells. Out loud or silently. Ask for clarity, healing, release.
-
Be consistent. This practice isn’t about overnight transformation—it’s about daily, conscious connection with your energetic self.
You are energy. You are power. You have the ability to shift your vibration and gently transform your physical and emotional state.
2. Ground Yourself: The Most Underrated Spiritual Tool
Grounding is one of the most powerful tools we have—and it’s completely free. Especially during times of collective uncertainty, like global pandemics or planetary shifts, our energy fields can feel overwhelmed with fear, anxiety, and confusion. That’s when grounding becomes essential.
What is grounding?
Grounding reconnects you to your body, your essence, and the Earth. It brings you back into the present moment and helps you realign with your own truth.
Try this grounding ritual:
-
Stand (preferably barefoot) on grass, soil, or sand.
-
Imagine golden threads moving from the soles of your feet deep into the Earth.
-
Visualise these threads locking in. Say aloud, “I lock it in,” while tapping the top of your head—or clicking your heels together.
-
Feel the Earth beneath you. Breathe deeply and simply be.
Can’t go outside? No problem. Visualise it. Meditate with the intention of grounding. YouTube has some beautiful guided meditations specifically for this purpose.
3. Use Essential Oils for Deeper Grounding
If you love essential oils, grounding blends can be a beautiful addition to your energetic practice.
Here are two of my favourites:
-
Vetiver (DoTERRA): Vetiver is a deeply grounding oil derived from roots that anchor into the soil. It’s excellent for centering and calming the mind.
-
Wild Orange (DoTERRA): A joyful, abundant oil that reconnects us with vitality and purpose. Pair it with Vetiver for a beautiful balance of grounded joy.
How to use:
-
Place a drop of each oil into the palm of your hand.
-
Rub your hands together and gently cup your nose.
-
Inhale deeply with intention.
Let the aroma bring you back into your body.
4. Be Discerning With the Energy You Feel
Sometimes, my loves, the energy you’re feeling isn’t even yours. As intuitive beings, empaths, and spiritually sensitive souls, we can easily absorb energies from others, from environments, or even from the collective consciousness.
This can show up as:
-
Sudden emotional shifts
-
Overwhelming fatigue
-
A sense of “heaviness” without reason
Your job isn’t to carry it. Your job is to recognise it, clear it, and return to yourself.
So please—stay conscious, stay aware, and ground yourself regularly. Learn to listen to your own inner world, so you can better distinguish what is truly yours.
Final Thoughts
The spiritual path is not always easy—but it’s always worth it. As we evolve, we’ll encounter energy that confuses, confronts, or even drains us. But we’re not powerless. We’re never alone.
Through conscious practices, daily grounding, and mindful self-care, you can reclaim your space, your power, and your peace.
So get outside. Connect with the Earth. Breathe in the energy of life. Trust your intuition. And above all, remember—you are not here to carry what does not belong to you.
With love,
