Some Things to Consider

Stay in your own lane. Staying aligned in your own Source Energy keeps you out of others’ energies. Otherwise, you’ll be shielding all day every day.

You attract what you focus upon. Create your own reality. Don’t participate in another’s. Thought is everything.

Everything is a form of energy and energy moves about. Stay in positive energy, move quickly away from anything negative.

Develop various methods of shielding because not all intrusive energy is the same.

• Tunnel method – visualize a tunnel that you walk through, with everything else on the outside of that tunnel. This works great when in big box stores or crowds.
• Suit of Armor – visualize any type of protection garment that resonates. I prefer anything from a Shield Maiden to a Ninja.
• Bubble or Crystal of Light – I prefer the Merkaba as my symbol, with me inside. Color can be infused into the bubble or crystal, whatever resonates is fine. And if all else fails…
• Cast a Circle. It’s simplest to find a word that you like, such as circulare, or something like that. I happen to like Latin, but words are words. Snap the circle into place, and then go about your business.

Energy vampires exist. Most don’t mean to be intrusive, but they are anyway. They might be needy or just have unhealthy boundaries, but some are invasive with their energy. Gently set boundaries if you can with most, but with true vampires, you must shield.

Vampiric energy is sticky. Another method of shielding for those empaths accustomed to dealing with intrusive or vampiric energies is to align first, visualize your cells as energy, and then move them apart. The idea is for intrusive energy to move through without sticking to you. But this isn’t always easy to do for the newly aware empath, so try it and then if it’s difficult, use the more conventional approaches. This one takes focus, and vampiric energy is distracting, so do whatever it takes to remain unaffected by it.

Sometimes we can sense the direction of a vampiric attack. Shield or quickly cast a circle. Bring your focus to your still point. Extend your receptive hand and move either deocil or widdershins in a circle, feeling the energy coming in. I prefer widdershins because it seems like I can feel discrepancies more easily than when I move deocil. But that’s just me. When you sense the change in energy, then you may have found the direction the vampiric energy is coming from. It’s not always close by.

We are multidimensional metaphysical beings. We are extensions of Source Energy. We are powerful and resonant energy beings. We move best in the in between, in the space between physical and nonphysical form. Try to stay there as much as possible. It’s our place of knowing, and our place of oneness with all.

It’s common to feel separate from the body. That feeling tells you that you’re here to observe. The challenge for empaths is to observe, not absorb, the energy around them. What that truly means is that we are the observer, the perceiver of the projection of collective consciousness that we all participate in. The empath knows we are one in Source Energy. So the feeling of separateness which translates into feelings of not belonging, or of being different, is not really true. It’s not remembering who we are that makes us different. The empath already knows who s/he is. It’s just difficult waiting for everyone else to awaken. But they will.

We know when people are lying. Their energy changes. Early on we learn to associate the subtle changes with the severity of the lie. Empaths must learn to tell the difference between someone who is guarded and someone who is trying to deceive them, and respect privacy.

Feeling in is something an empath will do to see what’s up with someone or with a situation. It tends to be automatic, and because an empath’s focus is so intense, people can feel uncomfortable in our presence. Staying aligned helps in this case so that you don’t stay too long in someone else’s energy. It’s really unnecessary to feel into everything. It’s not our business anyway.

Transcend the opinions of others. As an empath, you make others uncomfortable without their even knowing why, finding out you’re a witch as well typically puts the final nail in the coffin. So stay aligned, away from judgment and see everyone with loving Source Vision.
