Discover in this article how to preserve your energy and how to cultivate it. We will learn to stop this emotional contagion, this savior syndrome that leads us to our loss. We will have to react so as not to get lost and know how to center ourselves. Let's learn to anchor ourselves and set up moments of presence with our inner being. We must also savor moments of sweetness present in our heart in order to truly be there for our family and friends.
Preserve your energy
Currently, the events taking place around the world are serious and we feel it energetically, and even collectively. Also, it is essential to preserve our own energy. Indeed, whatever we do, emotions are contagious. We radiate what vibrates inside us, so if we are taken emotionally, we will vibrate it, and this, beyond us. The planetary and collective emotional body is filling up. In fact, all the egregores that are linked to these emotions, that pass through us and with which we are possessed, come back to us.
So, we feel this extremely powerful charge. So cultivating one's energy comes down to becoming aware of what we relate to, what we connect to, what we give our credit to. In fact, it's a bit like asking for our energy to come together. If we focus on the negative, on fear, inevitably, we activate our own inner fears.
Stopping emotional contagion
We must also stop this emotional contagion by starting to take care of our own energy. Let us then take a close look at our emotions, put clarity, light in our emotional body. If we are clear about welcoming our emotions, our emotional wounds, we have already taken an essential step (moreover, I refer you to the following article: learning to welcome our emotions.).
However, it is complicated to stop this collective contagion, because the more sensitive we are, the more we will feel it. Be careful, feeling it does not necessarily mean absorbing it. If this is the case, I ask you to look inside yourself and identify what continues in you to believe that it is your responsibility to take charge of emotions that are not yours. I can give you an answer, because this is something that I have known well, and to which I remain particularly vigilant.
Having the savior syndrome
I'm talking to you about the savior syndrome. Several circumstances can lead us to play this role, either we chose it or it was given to us by our family. For example, we are the last chance child, we are the ray of sunshine in our family, we are the therapist child. In fact, all these forms have insidiously settled in us. Naturally, very early on, we took charge of what does not belong to us. And this sticks to us for a very long time.
We remain convinced that our role is to save others, to become their therapist, to make them laugh and above all to absorb their emotional state, to the point of becoming their emotional trash can. Very quickly, our empathic qualities are exploited: we have a quality of listening that is very rare in others. So, people come to see us and unload emotionally, and even energetically on us, without us even realising it.
Not taking charge of other people's emotions
We are so used to taking charge of other people's emotions that we think it is normal, that it is healthy. I invite you to visit this little character inside you who absolutely wants to save everyone and take charge of other people's emotions. We think we are doing the right thing, but in reality, we absorb what is not ours and inexorably, we fill ourselves with emotions and vibrational charges that are not ours.
As time goes by, we become exhausted, we get tired and we tend to lose ourselves. What are our emotions? What makes us vibrate? We no longer know what our identity as a being is and what our real needs are. In addition, we feel this sense of helplessness while preventing the other from taking responsibility for their life. To go further, we take away their freedom to choose.
Return to our center
We must take back our own power and stop playing this role of savior. Once we have acquired the necessary discernment to have sufficient clarity with our emotions, we no longer need to absorb those of others. However, I can still feel them strongly, which can throw me off center. So, here is an essential key to understand and which is far from futile, we must return to our center.
Even if we capture certain things, if we open ourselves in this receptivity therefore in our Yin, on the other hand, it is necessary to put back a little Yang. So, to return to ourselves, in our center, in our structure, in our vibration, in our frequency…
All this allows us to gather our energies, to really be in our body. By accepting to be well rooted in our body, we will be able to connect to our base of security.
Feeling the grounding
So, we feel this grounding in our heart, in our presence, in this space of love inside us. This space leads us to bliss, to tranquility, to peace, to deep calm and joy. So, we feel ourselves instantly and we find our alignment; this verticality, a bit like a tree that plays with the external elements without losing its straightness.
In fact, to cultivate our energy, we must maintain our presence in order to stay connected to our frequency so as not to get off-center. We will learn to preserve our energy, to cultivate ourselves, that is to say, to know how we can nourish ourselves and understand what nourishes us. We are made up of several bodies. However, our head, our emotional body, our physical body and our soul all require a certain form of nourishment specific to each one.
Set up moments of presence
It is imperative to set up moments of presence in our daily lives in order to come back to ourselves. In our schedule, let's learn to include times to settle down, real moments of presence to ourselves, rather yin. We must learn to be in what truly nourishes us and to stop doing several things at the same time, to finally take for ourselves this real moment of connection, of psychic nourishment.
Each of these moments differs according to what we like, so let's not compare ourselves to each other. Some will like to dance, walk, meditate, whatever. But above all, let's make these moments concrete, let's make an appointment even for 5-10 minutes a day to cultivate this presence on a daily basis.
Bringing softness into your daily life
Speaking of softness, preserving your energy also means bringing softness into what you can experience with yourself. Taking care of all our bodies aims to slow down our infernal pace through all these tasks that we impose on ourselves. We need to sort through and get to the essentials. We need to bring coherence and integrity into everything we accomplish.
Also, let's reintegrate our Yang energy, because it is capable of supporting us, of offering us a structure, a framework in which we can settle down with respect. This energy will allow us to really put concrete actions in place in our daily lives. So let's observe ourselves and measure how we feel on the evenings of these days when we have really nourished ourselves. Then readjust if necessary, until the energy of our presence breathes its light into all our other bodies. Which will change internally, change our way of being, change our vision.
Finally, we will act on all these things that allow us to maintain this inner alignment. Also, let's stop doing what does not nourish us and preserve our energy on a daily basis. Let's think about the concrete actions to take in order to nourish certain spaces, where we aspire to go now.
Let's go where our heart calls us and where we allow ourselves to go to feel truly nourished and aligned with what we are, including in our environment and in all our relationships.
I wish us the best,
Cindy
