ManagingYourEnergyAroundOthers’

By:PriyaAli

At times you may find that you feel differently around certain people. This may be in a more uplifting way or in a more negative or draining way. This is because we are sensitive to matching energies. When we are not stable or grounded in our own energy, we can tune into the energies of other people and start matching their energies. You may feel affected negatively or positively. If for example, you’re finding that you feel low energy or drained after spending some time with someone/certain people, and maybe you don’t quite know why, pay attention to how you are relating to them, what kinds of attitudes or perspectives that you share with them, or the similarities in how they speak with how you speak. Chances are, if they’re more on the negative side, that’s more likely what you’re feeling from them, because you have a similar amount of negativity active within you. Also consider that it may not be obvious if someone is more negative/low energy. It could simply be in how they think, and that is affecting their vibe.

On the contrary, you may feel great and uplifted around some people, and chances are, they are in a higher frequency of vibrational energy. You may find they have a more positive, optimistic attitude and just find the joys and satisfaction in small everyday things. Being around people who are like this can allow you to feel more ease with activating those energies within yourself.

There is a common myth that someone else’s energy can impact yours, making you feel more negatively or more positively, that they can drain you or uplift you. When you begin to live your life from a place of heightened awareness, you become more discerning and find it easier to tell if energies belong to you or not. Think of the vibrational frequency of energies like a ladder. If someone is on the bottom of the ladder where things are negative, and you choose to go down to them on that rung of the ladder to connect, you will begin to experience life from that rung of the ladder. It has nothing to do with the person and everything to do with you choosing to move down the vibrational ladder. Similarly, if someone is near or at the top of the ladder and you climb up to meet them, you will then experience life from that rung of the ladder.

If you are living without awareness, this can lead to you not paying attention when you begin climbing up or down the ladder, leading you to believe the person you are meeting is responsible for bringing you up or down. When you recognize this and begin to live in the awareness of where you are at every moment vibrationally, you embrace your power to choose where your energy goes. So, are you choosing to go high or to go low?
