how to stop absorbing negative energy in a crowd (super fun tool!)

Have you ever walked into a crowded place feeling happy and light….and then less than ten minutes later, you start to feel sluggish, confused or irrationally upset?

Welcome to the world of being empathic or extra sensitive to the energies around you.

If you are reading this, chances are high that you are probably the go-to person your inner circle comes to for advice, validation, or just healing.

Your sensitivity is a gift, but it’s really important to know how to manage your energy so that you stop getting depleted and absorbing crap from other people.

One of my absolute favorite tools to help you stay in your own vibes is something I call “The Ball Gown”

Call me cray-cray, but using simple images that make me laugh or smile really help.

And being in a fabulous, sparkly ball gown is one such image.

This tool is simple, elegant and effective when practiced consistently.

Step 1: Prep

Before you go into a crowded place, prepare yourself. Close your eyes and visualize yourself wearing a ballgown or cape on top of everything you are wearing. It’s important that it have enough fabric to really spill out around you (like you’d have to use both hands or little clips to not trip on yourself kind of thing!) Really take a good minute to see this in your mind. You can decorate it any way you want!

Step 2: Survey your space

As you walk into a crowded space, notice when you start to feel extra sensitive. Pay attention to how your body feels and any temperature changes, heart rate changes, just a feeling like the energy around is heavy or dense. Your job is to just survey like a Queen. This doesn’t have to take long.

Step 3: Adjust your gown accordingly

Your ball gown is like a gorgeous protective shield for your energy field (or your aura) and when it’s fully splayed out, your energy can extend out that far too and connect with everything near it. This is great if you are in a space where you feel very solid with the people there and can keep clear boundaries. Example: Dinner at home with your special someone.

But if you are feeling especially susceptible to other people’s vibes, visualize yourself “gathering” the ball gown in and clipping it closely against your body. ( If you are visual, think about those body-hugging “bandage dresses” that are so in but look like everything’s about to umm..pop out!)

The best part is you can mentally adjust this as often as you want and you don’t have to look like the crazy lady mumbling to herself.

Such is the power of visualization and your mind!

That’s it! You’ve learned the Ball Gown technique.

With daily practice, you will soon be well on your way to mastering this and staying in your own vibes!
