Have you been feeling off-balance and not focused lately? If so, you're not alone. Many people are experiencing these symptoms, and one reason could be the massive shifts in energy currently taking place on the Earth plane. These shifts are happening at an unprecedented rate and often accompany the adverse events we see daily in the news. Therefore, it's crucial to prioritize staying centered, clear-minded, and focused during these tumultuous times. By doing so, we can navigate these energetic changes with resilience and clarity, maintaining stability amid the chaos.

The following are some fundamental tools to do this. Yes, it can be essential, and you will feel its powerful effects.

Are you questioning your path and purpose? Feeling off-centered or out of balance? Lack of faith and hope?  

Your crown chakra may be blocked. The first thing you will need to do is open the crown chakra. Imagine a small saucer plate on top of your head. The kind that you use underneath teacups. Place both hands on top of your head, with the fingers of each hand touching. Now pull your hands apart as if you were opening a circle on top of your head (only the size of the saucer plate).   In about a minute, you should experience the warmth coming in and around you. Warm energy is the chi energy flowing freely. The crown chakra is the entrance point of the chi energy - our life force energy.   You may even feel warmth in the palms of your hands. The palms of your hands are chi exit channels of positive energy - healing energy. You may also feel tingling or a sensation in the bottoms of your feet. The bottoms of your feet are another chi exit channel that releases negative energy.   Other benefits include feeling focused, calm, and peaceful; having fewer or no aches and pains; and an overall sense of well-being.

Then you will need to heal and release what is blocking this chakra.  

Have you been feeling over-emotional, out of balance, or lacking focus? Have you been in an environment or with others with a lot of negative energy? Or do you feel you can't release any negative energy?

Grounding your energy in the earth is the best way to do this. It only takes a few minutes, and the benefits are astounding. This practice has been used for ages. Remember the old saying when someone was upset or frustrated? 'Hug a tree' is another form of grounding your energy. My grounding web page includes an audio recording on grounding your energy.   I recommend this to my Reiki students and healing clients for a period of time after the session. Because it assists in the healing and clearing process, there is another saying: “Someone that stays grounded is less likely to be affected by negative energy on this plane or others.” When you stay grounded, you are centered, and you have awareness within you. You can perceive energy more - the positive and the negative. Who would want to be around negative?

Try doing this every day, if it’s a week, two weeks, or even a month. Let me know how it helps you and any differences you notice.

Do you feel like you are picking up on too much energy or emotions from others? The feeling of overwhelming emotions? Or do you feel like a sponge for negative energy?

When we perceive emotions and energy from others, it is all part of an ability known as clairsentience. Some may even call it a psychic sponge or empathy. If the gift is strong, the person may not be able to tell whether they're experiencing their own emotions or those of others. Or they may not even connect that what they're perceiving could be someone else's emotions or feelings.  

We also need to keep our energy and ourselves always protected.   So that we won’t get affected by negative energy. There are two ways to do this.

One is to use a bubble of light protection.   My web page explains this and includes audio you can listen to about how to do it.
The other way is to protect your energy centers, the chakra system.   It is essential to protect the centers when not using them, which means being open only when meditating, healing, or doing intuitive or psychic things. Otherwise, you can be overwhelmed with negative energy and not connected to the present, to name a few things. By doing this, you will also feel more focused and centered. I have a web page that explains and walks you through opening and closing the chakra.

Also, there is another thing that you can do to clear your energy, and even your home, is smudging.   It is a potent tool to remove negative energy. View my web page on smudging/sagging. There are also two audio recordings for you to listen to. One is smudging yourself, and the other is smudging your home.
