We are always dealing with others’ “stuff”! Their fears, their irritability or anger, their pain.
A Somatic Experiencing colleague of mine and an empath to the ninth degree, Sara Vatore, shared a tip she used to deal with someone’s negative energy recently.
She imagined all of the angst and drama and other difficult energy spewing from the other person to be like wind blowing around her.
Although this wasn’t just ordinary wind. This wind was filled with rainbow-colored sparkles of light.
If we remember that what we see as colors are really just different frequencies of energy—and then you consider the colors and related themes associated with each of the chakras…
Then you can see the validity in noticing or imagining the emotional and behavioral expression coming from the other person as just frequencies of experience…energy as wind, creating colored sparkles of this challenge of Life.
The other person’s energy as wind sparkling in the light…
Seeing the energy of the other person as sparkling bits of wind, just coming out, moving along. No need to defend, no need to do anything but feel the breeze blowing past you.
With the need for “judgment” and “defense” suspended, you can notice how this colorful wind is getting unstuck and blowing fresh breeze past you both.
Play with it. FEEL the colored winds blowing by. Perhaps this will help exposure to negative energy be “a breeze.”
