Energy Protection Meditation For Empaths & HSP

There are moments when your energy feels… heavy.
When you’ve taken in too much..
too many conversations, emotions, expectations..
and somewhere along the way, you’ve drifted away from yourself.

This meditation is a gentle space to return.

A space where you don’t have to push anything away,
defend yourself,
or try to “fix” how you feel.

Instead, you’re invited to soften,
to release what doesn’t belong to you,
and to rest within a quiet sense of safety and steadiness.

When to Return

Return to this practice whenever you feel:

Emotionally drained after being around others
Overwhelmed by other people’s energy or expectations
Sensitive, heavy, or overstimulated

Or simply when you feel the need to release negative energy & invite in more positive energy and calm.
