Do you ever feel very irritable or angry and don’t know why? Have you ever awakened with a heavy heart even when your life is going well? When profound events happen in another part of the world, are you adversely affected ? You could be experiencing the emotions of someone you have a strong connection to or the collective consciousness of a large number of people anywhere in the world. The past few years have been especially difficult, and this year with the war in Ukraine and multiple shootings in the US, emotions are running high. The collective consciousness adversely affected me during the first year of the pandemic. I was experiencing feelings of depression that I knew were not mine. I was able to clear that once I knew it was not me feeling that way. Many people, especially energy practitioners, are sensitive to their environment and more susceptible to taking on energy that is not their own. The good news is you can change the way you feel and assist in shifting the collective consciousness!

Ancient teachings and now quantum physics tells us that everything is interconnected. We are one with all humankind, the animals, plants, nature and Earth. Our biofields are constantly interacting with the environment on a local and a global scale. What that means is if a large part of the population is experiencing a strong emotion, it may affect you personally because everything is part of the universal matrix.

I want to be clear. I am not saying you should not be angry or grieve when something happens to you or others close to you. I am talking about having feelings that you feel are not your own.

So what can you do to shift your energy, release what is not yours and positively affect the collective consciousness? First, become grounded and centered and ask yourself, “Is this feeling or thought mine?”  If the answer is no, you can release it and send unconditional love to those people. Below are a few ways to release the energy:

Thank the energy for the information it has given you (many people are experiencing that emotion), and tell it to leave because it is not yours.

Send the energy back to which it came from. You can visualize the feeling as a color, wrap it up in a box or use any image that works for you. On your next exhalation, send it back to where it originated. It is not your energy, you cannot use it, but the collective can transform it.

You can cleanse your field by imagining a waterfall or shower coming down and clearing your field of all that is not serving you. You can inhale or brush essential oils through your energy field. Sage, peppermint or sweet orange are just a few that can help release negativity.

Another option is to receive one or more healing touch sessions to clear your field of all that isn’t serving you.

After completing one of the above, you can raise your vibration and assist those in need to do the same by sending Unconditional Love to them. You don’t have to know where they are located, nor does everyone need to be in 1 area; the energy is smart and will know where to go. Just hold the thought of sending Unconditional Love through intention, meditation, or prayer to whoever is in need at this time. Another option could be the heart meditation from the Level 2 Healing Touch notebook or the Hara Alignment Meditation from Level 3.

Remember every thought and action creates a vibration that affects the environment. Energy has no boundaries, and thought is a form of energy. So even though you are only one person, you can make a difference because we are all connected!   I hope this helps you recognize and process thoughts and emotions that are not your own to live a healthier life.
