Energy Update: Taking on the Energy of Other People

For years people have told me they pick up the energies of other people. I look at us as responsible for ourselves so that energies are “clinging onto us” has been a challenge to my understanding. However, I was begging the question around this and the answer revealed itself. As children we looked to our parents for cues on what is safe and what is not. There are many studies, which have taken a visual patterned surface and a baby and placed them on it. The child will glance to the parent for cues that it is safe to crawl across this varying visual surface. Based on the parent’s response the child will react and move or stay. This is how parents could play live chess! As we grow older we look for social cueing from our parents. Our parents didn’t always know and maybe had odd rules around this for themselves via their own insecurities. This is where dysfunction comes in. So, if we are unsure about our self? We look to others for social cueing and for how we “fit”. Thus, when we pick up others energies we are looking to others for our validation. (This differs in the place where there is a “Vampire Archetype” or a chronic complainer). Stop looking around and be with you. Many or all of you reading this are empathic and you may see this differently than how I’ve stated it here. I have to stress the tipping point is you are not a victim of the energy of others. You are leaving yourself open to this by trying to size up “what mama thinks of you.” We ultimately seek validation and love from a mother and father figure, something most of us didn’t receive. We can now allow ourselves to love our self fully and replace this need and experience with self-acceptance on all levels. Love you and you’ll be able to love everybody else too!
