How do you cleanse your energy?

[Lisanoonan]

I feel that we can pick up people's energy in different places.

I went to visit Cancun, Mexico a year ago, and I stayed in a hotel. I got a bad vibe from the male staff there. They were sitting round with lots of male guests.

I later found out that a criminal gang ran the hotel, and that the staff there were extremely bad people. They were murderers and were heavily involved in crime.

After my visit to Mexico, I honestly feel like my energy has changed. I feel like there is some dark energy on me. I had been sitting close murderers and I feel like I've picked up some of their dark energy. It feels like there is nasty energy on me.My eyes have even gone darker.

I'm really serious about this. My energy has changed for the worse and I really don't like it. And I'm trying to cleanse my energy.

I've tried to cleanse my energy by imagining light washing over me, and by imagining myself in a protective bubble.
It still doesn't seem to have fully cleansed my
energy.

People have said to me that I'm nastier than I used to be, and that I've changed after visiting Mexico.

People on here who are into spirituality and energy,

What have you done to cleanse your energy please?

I absolutely believe you can become effected by peoples moods and as I said/ feel drained and experience compassion fatigue. But that is not the same as being possessed and your eyes changing colour! You are just burnt out!

Qi gong is a great idea, thanks so much.

I really appreciate your post.

I've read a little bit about Qi gong, I'm going to do some videos on it.

Okay.. I'm a spiritual person.
You need a Pyrite crystal .. put under your pillow... it will take away negative energy you are carrying . When you buy / aquire one.. first wash it under water ( tap water will do) pat it dry .. do this three times to cleanse the crystal from wherever it came from and who had handled it before you .
Also a good Reki healer will be able to help you get rid of bad energy. Try the crystal first.

I never said I was possessed for fuck sake.

I said I've picked up negative energy from other people

Thanks so much for that. I really appreciate it so much. And it's so nice to talk to a like minded person! Hi!

There's a crystal shop near me. I will look for some pyrite.

And I'll do some reiki clearing videos too.

Thanks lovely! How is your day.?

Thanks so much @kripkrapkrisp energetic cord cutting is a great idea.

I'll visualise myself and those people and visualise myself cutting the energetic cord between them

You said your eyes changed colour and tour your mood has changed from being in the same room as a Mexican gang for a holiday. I read that as some sort of evil possession as their spirt has entered yours.
silly me.

I've had a very good day today thankyou ..
I've been to Church this evening ( Spiritualist church) .. l didn't receive a message but my friend did and it gave her such comfort..
( I used to collect crystals and done healing on myself.. then my Grandson became interested so l passed them onto him).
Hope the Pyrite works.
Let me know and good luck.

This is the Philosophy and Religion forum.

There’s a difference between ‘spiritual’ and ‘prepared to believe anything you see on YouTube’. You’re clearly disturbed by something going on in your life over the past year, but it’s worth asking yourself what is really going on, whether some traumatic experience is affecting you. It isn’t anything to do with proximity to criminals. I used to teach literacy in prisons, and spent years of my life in close proximity to criminals. It hasn’t had a negative effect on my ‘energy’.

If you don’t want to seek help from your GP, I would suggest spend more time outdoors, by the sea or in woods, and getting your hands in the soil, or climb a mountain.

Crystals are extremely interesting aren't they. There's a crystal to help with so many different things.
I'm so happy that your friend received a message. That is so lovely for her.

Thanks so much for your advice again. I really appreciate it. Have a lovely evening. !

Well, respectfully, you’re the person being told by her friends that you’re nastier than you used to be.

Did you want to add anything?

As you can see I'm sure, I'm being very nice to the people who are being lovely and kind to me on here.

Qi gong, crystals and cord cutting are really good ideas. Thanks so much everyone. I really appreciate it.

Hi op,

I am a spiritual person.
I would also recommend cord cutting, sage and crystals.

Another one would be a Himalayan salt bath, it has lots of benefits but it cleanses the aura and removes negative energy and helps to protect you from psychic attacks.

Hope you are feeling okay.

@Lisanoonan

@LokiCroc has summed it up really well

If your "energy" is bad from being near other people you need to work hard on your sense of self and emotional boundaries. If your boundaries are so thin that you have somehow absorbed other people's personalities and behaviour traits then you need to discover why that is

It's all do with lessons in self-belief and learning how to set boundaries so that you can live your life in empathy with other people without compromising your own beliefs or your own self- worth.
People can't permanently change your aura' / change your energy' / ' perform voodoo-type spells on you if you aren't open to accepting it.

We can pick up 'bad energy' from people every day - but we can also decide how it's going to affect us, how long it's going to have an effect, or if it's not going to affect us.

'Cleansing rituals' don't really do do anything and crystals don't really do anything - you need to believe that YOU can do what YOU want to do, if that makes sense?

It's a 'personal responsibility' thing that we have to actively work towards, rather than a 'someone -or-something else can save me / make a difference' thing that we just sit back and wait for.

It's true what they say: that people can only make us feel bad if we allow them to.
And the only thing we can change in life is the way we perceive things,

It's true and it's a very powerful tool! ..........

said with love and a big hug x

Spot on. My initial thoughts were trauma.

Thanks so much , I'm really grateful for that.

And it's the added joy of feeling "someone understands me". I'm sure you know what I mean! I'm going to do energetic cord cutting tomorrow.

Thanks so much for the ideas. And I hope that you have a beautiful evening

You said "cleansing rituals don't really do anything".

I disagree.

I just did an energy cleansing meditation on youtube, and I feel a lot better!

I believe it's really important to cleanse our energy with different practices like visualisation.

Qi gong is also an ancient practice to cleanse our energy, and to help our energy to move better

Crystals are also very important.

But thank you for your last sentence. I send you a hug too

I second and third walking outside on grass (preferably barefoot), contemplating natural water and swimming in it if appropriate, forest walks, hill walks and breathing in plenty of fresh air. Notice the scents, textures and sounds of the natural world. If you want to, picture your IN breaths washing around the inside of your body and mind, cleansing all impurities - and EXHALE them, let them fly away to dissipate harmlessly into the ether.

Do this instead of going on YouTube. Our beautiful planet is a far better healer than any grifter making videos for ad revenue. Not to say some don't have their place (I use some guided meditations from there) but YouTube is a giant business owned by Google, it is not here to serve but to take. You're in need of grounding and reconnection with a greater and more nourishing source than little faces on screens.

Enjoy your walks 🌳🌍🐟

Thanks very much for that post.

Yes I think that reiki is important too.

There are a lot of ancient practices to clear energy like reiki and qi gong aren't there. The ancient people put a lot of importance on it.

I really appreciate your post. And I will do some reiki cleansing too. Thank you

Thanks Garlicpest I appreciate that! I do need to get out in nature. I live in the middle of a big city at the moment. I'm going to plan a day trip to a forest. I do think that nature has healing energy.

Thanks so much. I appreciate you!

Parks are good, @Lisanoonan, and city canal & river walks. Nature's everywhere!

Hi op,

to be honest, that isn't advice from a spiritual person ............ it's advice from a superstitious person.

Thanks so much , I'm really grateful for that.
And it's the added joy of feeling "someone understands me". I'm sure you know what I mean! I'm going to do energetic cord cutting tomorrow.
Thanks so much for the ideas. And I hope that you have a beautiful evening

But I think you'd rather go with the' superstitious' advice than the common sense advice .

I really hope you find the peace you're looking for :) x
