Channeling unwanted energy

Staying mindful of your thoughts and keeping them aligned with what feels good takes practice. Finding ways to keep your thoughts positive and stay focused is a great place to start. When you see a sign that says I love my Life, for instance, you automatically internalize it as you read it. Throughout your day, without noticing you are constantly picking up subliminal messages. Whatever messages your subconscious mind picks up can change your mood and create unwanted emotions.

Have you ever been going about your day let’s say shopping and all of the sudden you feel irritated and short-tempered? Or the other way around you all of the sudden feel excited or energized, or possibly hungry. When this happens while you are mindful or aware of it, take a moment to look around and see if there is are visible signs or something that triggered this emotion. You may notice you passed a sign that reminded you of your ex or a sign that had food on it. More than likely your conscious mind didn’t even register the sign at all but your subconscious mind is always paying attention even when you are sleeping.

If there aren’t any signs you notice, look around and see if anyone around you seems like are feeling whatever emotion you are feeling.

Empaths are very sensitive to others’ emotions and vibrations. Whenever I would work with two of my very close friends I could feel when they were not feeling ok.

There are many triggers for what brings on unwanted emotions and it can be frustrating when you can’t pinpoint the source. I am a generally positive person and it is frustrating when my mood shifts so suddenly for no apparent reason and Bipolar wasn't resonating with me and neither were the medications.

Stones and minerals have very high energy that can almost block or ease unwanted energy in the form of emotions. I found that keeping a rock in my pocket such as a worry rock can refocus your attention as you hold it in your hand. . There are other stones, that can help deflect unwanted energy. The best advice I can give is to go into a metaphysical store and speak with one of their specialists or pick up a book on minerals and rocks and their healing properties so you can try out ones specific to your needs.

Words are another thing that can cause unwanted energy, when you write out a word what are you doing? You are spelling. You are casting a spell in a sense.

You want to try and keep your vibration aligned with what feels right.

Scents can either calm your nerves or irritate them, I found that I love fresh lavender. If I am having a bad day and I pick some and pinch it between my fingers it creates an instant calm. Frankincense oil has the same effect.

Lighting can be the cause of irritation as well. Have you ever noticed frustration while shopping for groceries?

The lighting strains your eyes which causes you to scrunch your face in an irritating way which triggers and tells your brain that you are irritated.

There are always going to be certain situations that cause unwanted emotions that you have no control over but you can pull yourself back to a calm place with positive triggers, such as stones, scents, colors, lights, words, images. When you focus on the object and create a clam positive feeling onto it, it will become a positive trigger every time you see it. Make sure you do not focus the unwanted energy onto it as you want it to help you return to your calm space. When you find things that make you feel good, make you feel calm all over then those can be used to help guide your emotions back to a neutral state.

Mindfulness is a tool that can help in every situation you can imagine. When you take a moment before you enter a new setting whether it be a business meeting, an uncomfortable gatherin or, a comfortable gathering, if you take a second to breathe and create the feeling you want to get from the moment then you create the moment. When you think this is going to be so boring or so long, then that is exactly what you create. It's up to you how you want to spend your moments make them amazing every time. and you'll never be let down.
