Stirring the Cauldron:Dealing with and Re-directing Unwanted Energies

Disclaimer: Okay so i've decided to dedicate this post to witchy-ness. This specific post is going to deal with amplifying energy, more specifically, how to deal with absorbing and re-directing unwanted energies. This can be interpreted as someone who considers themselves anything from an Empath or healer, to someone who is simply energy aware.


At some point in time everyone(really, everyone) has experienced energy that makes you physically ill. Whether that manifests as a headache or a body ache to actual vomiting or physical illness doesn't matter, it all comes from the same source, unhealthy or negative energy.Usually because we knowingly or unknowingly absorb it or allow ourselves to be exposed to it. Sometimes this can happen when we bottle up our negative emotions (fear, sadness, stress etc.) and we unintentionally make ourselves sick. But this type of sickness I will discuss separately.
This actually came to my attention as something to discuss with energy sensitive or aware people, because a good friend of mine has been in a negative place recently. I had to approach him about it, because of a rather uncomfortable dream I had this past weekend about him. He was unintentionally pushing his energy into me and it was making me very guarded, uncomfortable, and a little upset. He was telling me that his daughter, who I discussed with him previously about her being a natural amplifier; meaning she is naturally sensitive to energy patterns and the disturbances in them(so she is energy aware). That she has been helping him by taking some of his negative energy from him, however, since it is something she isn't entirely aware she is doing, she is absorbing it from him into her own body; this is making her physically ill.
So if you are in a situation in which you realize there is negative energy around you or that you are absorbing it. I have a few suggestions of ways to help clear your own energy.
First-If you are doing this and you don't want to, aka, you aren't trying to heal them you are just "open". Shield yourself immediately.
**Shielding is a really quick process that is a visualization of your skin expanding into an egg shape around your body. Essentially you are pushing your energy, which is typically extremely close to the top of your skin, into an oval shape with you inside of it. You can visualize any color that makes you feel safe, however, it is typically suggested that you try to keep it to a blue, purple, white, yellow etc. as these are all colors that are typically not invasive of other people. Unlike reds, blacks etc. which can produce an uncomfortable or sometimes hostile feeling.
Second- If you are doing this because you want to help heal the person; I would suggest shielding, but allowing the person being healed to "Come into" your shield or to completely shield.
*What's the difference?: If you allow yourself to absorb that persons energy you are essentially allowing part of them inside of you. Now, you may wonder why someone would choose to take in another persons energy, well it depends on the type of magick or healing the person is performing. It isn't always recommended, especially if you don't have much or any experience with energy work or being able to determine what energy is and isn't yours.
For example: As a shaman I typically take in the energy, I "become" them to help figure out what the problem is and how to best go about fixing it. You also take in energy when performing things such as: past life regression through memory contact or awakening someone else.
**Therefore if you are a beginner I would strongly suggest fully shielding.**




Third- Now if you are allowing them to come into your shield, pick up something organic that you can keep in your palm. This object needs to be dense, such as a rock or a stone, to be able to support the energy you are channeling into it. But it also, needs to be from the Earth, be considerate of what objects you choose to channel into because the origin of these objects can have an affect on how they react to you.
For example: It would be a bad idea to use something from the sea or a body of water, such as a sea shell, to funnel negative energy into; unless you are experienced enough to not inadvertently absorb the emotional energy from the shell in the process.
Keep this object in your hand when you are trying to help take some of the unhealthy or destructive energy from them. Envision the energy from them, that you are absorbing, slipping into the object. You can envision it as a stream of fluid, as a dark cloud, an emotion it doesn't matter as long as you are pushing it into the object.
2)Another way you can approach this is by standing outside barefoot in the grass while speaking to them and channel the energy into the ground. The idea is that you are using the Earth the same way you would use the dense object, as a way to push the energy into something solid. The only difference is that once you step onto the grass you will need to envision roots coming from the bottom of your feet anchoring you to the ground. This may not be as practical, which is why I mentioned holding an object first.
**If the energy is flowing through you into the object(whether a stone or the Earth), you need to cleanse each time you take in this persons energy otherwise it will still clog you. Just not as deeply as if you weren't protected at all. But it isn't a good idea to remain unchecked when absorbing the energy of other people because it disrupts the balance of your own energy.
Fourth: If you are completely shielded, the only difference is that you aren't using your body as a way to funnel the negative energy from one place to another. Instead you are envisioning the energy being pulled (which can be accompanied by visuals of your hands) and then sending it to the universe. So the process is: that you pull it out and then envision it floating away(usually to the sky) or dissolving into nothing. This way it doesn't clog you and the other person has less negative energy to deal with.








Let me know if you have any questions regarding this guide, or any suggestions of things you'd like for me to explain/discuss!
