Energetic Leaks

Here we are in the heat of summer finding ourselves still in a pandemic, still unable to make “real” plans and for many starting to crack a little.  

While I can’t change the outer world I can really take time to asses my inner world.

For years I felt drained. I was always tired, or overwhelmed.  I really did not know how bad it was until it wasn’t. I believe now this created some underlying subtle health issues. But the root of the drained energy was…An Energetic Leak!!!! 

I really didn’t realize this until later in my life. Now almost everyone is aware of leaky gut but for the most part, what I see, is leaking energy first and the body matching later.

I also had all the symptoms of leaky gut.  And now probably a deficit in certain vitamins and minerals that I now get to make up for. But only recently did I realize where my energy was going.

If you feel constantly tired and drained it’s time to call your energy back and seal up the cracks.

So, imagine there is an energetic field around you. Or better yet you are the energetic field. All your ideas, hopes, dreams and unmanifest potential live in the field along with your body and your current experience of reality.

We often exchange energy with others when we interact or when we think of them, this is normal and mostly good except when you are often and regularly thinking of something outside of you.

The common saying says;” where your thoughts go your energy flows”, so when we think of someone our energy flows to them, or when we think of a project it flows to that. (This is the creative life force energy not our caloric physical energy).

It isn’t just the attention to these things but the emotional tone that can really make a leak. For example, when we think of someone with love it often doesn’t drain us but when we think of someone who we love but are struggling with our attachment and fear, often meaning we project more love on to them then we do ourselves, our energy starts to drain. 

When we are constantly thinking of certain fears and worries particularly things we can’t resolve in the moment we are leaking energy.  

When we judge and shame ourselves and others, again, there it goes. Think of it as mini holes in your energetic field where creative life force gets sucked out of you.  

So by now you get the idea. And while these things are normal and a part of life, too much of it will result in feeling drained and lifeless over time and spend long enough in this “stress exhaustion” health issues typically start to occur in the body. Our body being the canvas for our wider spirit to communicate with us directly.

So how do we shift this?

First, take an inventory. What are you obsessing over? What is keeping you up at night? Who are you always thinking about? Who are you always solving problems for?

When you start to get clarity into your major energetic focuses then it is time to call energy back.  

This looks like taking a moment to feel all that energy going to those different things and imagine it comes back to you. When you catch yourself obsessing over something outside of you that you can’t make any actions towards in the moment, surrender this concept up to spirit and take a moment to think about your body, your life force and give some praise to you.

When all your love seems to flow to others, take a moment and feel that same emotion towards yourself. Whoever you adore take some time to balance it out and adore yourself the same.

And when you spend all your time solving problems for those who are cable and not asking, quit it. This is a way of avoiding resolving your own inner conflict and feeling a sense of purpose that is probably meant to come from somewhere else.

You won’t stop giving your energy away but you also won’t deplete it and you might start receiving more from others in return.  

You can also do a visualizing meditation to see where energy is leaving your field and close it off and seal the cracks then bask in some self-love (like for real, say “I love you, I’m here for you, we got this”). Notice if you start to shift.

When your energy comes back you will have more capacity for healing and creating your own life and projects.

This can be a very useful tool in a time with so much to focus on and so few problems we can actually resolve ourselves. Call yourself home to you and this generous present moment.

I would love to know your experience with this. Feel free to reply or share.
