The Best Defense is No Fence

Have you ever wondered how to protect yourself when you feel drained by other people that take your energy?

When you are learning to master your energy there are many different techniques you can learn to protect yourself but ultimately the best technique does not involve “protection” or “walls” or “fences”.

I’ll tell you the best technique in a moment but first let me share a story with you.  This is how I learned some important lessons about working with my energy field.

Many years ago I was learning cranio-sacral therapy for horses.  Cranio-sacral therapy is an energetic form of healing that involves working with precise finger placement and the cranial wave.  I was at a workshop and our instructor was demonstrating some specific finger positions for us on my horse.  She was very clear that she would be working with her energy and the horses’ energy and she did not want anyone else’s energy to “interfere”.  As I and the other students observed her she got a disappointed look on her face and told us all to get our energy out of their space.

I had no idea my energy was in her space but I did trust her ability to sense energy.  I pondered how I might get my energy out of her space.  I decided to imagine a Plexiglas tube that encased my energy.  The tube was open below my feet so I could still ground my energy to the earth and it was open above my head so that I could bring in divine energy for replenishment.  This allowed me to see what was going on but kept my energy in a nice container just a foot or so from my body.  It worked.  She was no longer sensing my energy.

Thinking more about this, I wondered why my energy was in her space.  I didn’t consciously intend to send my energy her way but I sent my thoughts her way.  At that moment it became very clear to me.  Where my attention goes…my energy flows.  All I need to do is think about an animal, person or situation and my energy follows my thought.  It was like discovering that crucial puzzle piece that allows you to see where other pieces can fit.  It filled in a space that caused so much more of the “how energy works” picture to become apparent.    More important was the discovery that my visualization of what I wanted to do with my energy field worked instantaneously.  Now, despite having read many books and attending workshops, I had a deeper understanding of how my energy field worked and how I could consciously control it.

So how can this help us when we are confronted with someone taking our energy?  We can’t control what the other person is doing but we can control our own energy field.  We do it with our mind.  It’s not complicated but it does require imagination.  Our imagination, which is using our mind creatively, actually controls our energy.

The most powerful way to keep others from draining your energy is to fill your field with a loving and potent white light.

Focus on your heart center and allow the emotion of gratitude and love to fill your being. (If you’ve been practicing my Energy Mastery meditation, this will be easier to do.) Now visualize this love and gratitude as a beautiful glowing bright white light that fills your entire energy body.  Your imagination makes it so.  Nothing else can penetrate your field at this moment.

The beauty of this technique is that you haven’t created a wall or fence to keep others out.  You aren’t defending yourself from another.  You are emanating a beautiful energy that others feel.  An energy that feels good to them. With your energy field beautifully filled to the brim, nothing drains you.

This other person isn’t draining your energy because they are mean, selfish, or a bad person.  They drain your energy because they don’t know any other way to replenish their energy.  They are uneducated about this energy thing.  The most loving thing you can do is project your own, beautiful heart energy.  To be clear, you are not feeding them your energy, you are filling your field.

I know this seems too simple to work.  We live in a culture that tells us we must work hard to achieve what we desire. We have been misled.  When working with our energy it can be this simple.
