Too Empathic

Do you take on everybody’s energy? Are you exhausted after being around people because of their negative energy? Does it ruin your day and drag you down? How do you recover from other people's energy? Ariel teaches us how to protect ourselves in crowds of people.

The Bandits knows a lot Welcome back to the healing room.

It's Ariel.

I'm going to talk about being too empathic.

So empathic means that when you go into crowds,

You're feeling everybody or you're sitting across from someone at coffee and you're really feeling everything they're going through.

You're feeling their energy.

This is great.

It's great to be sensitive.

It's great to be in tune.

It's great to pick up on your environment,

On other people.

However,

If it inhibits your ability to live and play and also be in the world like other people are being in the world,

Then we're being too empathic.

So then a lot of people will tell me that they bubble themselves and protect themselves to try to go out in public,

But to me it doesn't look like it's really working.

So the way to go out in public,

If you are picking up on everybody,

Is to connect to source above you.

Connect to God to the light above you first.

So you want to open that crown vortex,

Pour God's light through you,

Pour the angelic light through you.

Let's take it all the way down through the body,

Out the legs,

Out the hands.

You want to start fountaining and circulating this light because then when you're moving the light through you,

You're not tired,

You're not sluggish,

You're not weak,

You're not hormonal,

You're not angry,

You're not upset,

You're not stressed,

But you're on a high flowing this light through you,

You'll start to create these rings around you of light that just naturally fountain out from your system like your feet,

Your hands,

Your shoulders,

Your head,

Your base chakra.

The energy begins just moving round and round and it creates these natural layers of God's light or angelic light.

Once you have this built up,

Then you're ready to go into public and be the light.

Some people say to me,

But it'll all get taken.

They'll take my light.

They're going to take some of it,

But if you're fountaining and flowing,

It's not your light.

It's God's light pouring through you that they're taking and that's what it's for.

You're supposed to be throwing it on to other people.

You're supposed to be sharing it because as you give it,

The vortexes,

Especially like the crown chakra and shoulders will bring more in.

Basically,

They're creating a sieve.

They're sucking the energy out and you're pulling more energy in as they're moving it out and they're actually helping.

You should get on a high as you're in crowds and in public because they're pulling from you or you're sharing it with them and then you're filling right back up again and getting new fresh energy.

That's what creates that feeling of a high.

I love,

Love,

Love to be in crowds.

I love to dance in crowds.

I love to walk through crowds.

It's fun for me to feel that energy moving through me and affecting people.

Everywhere I go,

Every person I pass is affected by this high vibration.

The worst thing we can do is shrink in and pull in and hide away and become a hermit because if we start hiding,

Then what happens is our energy feel good smaller and smaller.

If you're enjoying the peace of a place,

For example,

You're on vacation or you're enjoying your backyard and your energy spreading in peace,

That's awesome.

That's great.

But if you're not going places just because you don't want to feel everybody's energy,

You can't handle it,

Then we need to create natural boundaries by spending more time bringing God's light into us and then intentionally going places to practice being the light,

Being joy,

Being love.

Sometimes I will still get energy on me.

For example,

I was downtown and I was in huge crowds on 420 when everyone was celebrating the marijuana legalization here in Denver.

I happen to have a dinner date down there,

So I was down there and there was craziness all around and I was fine.

I was having a great time in my own world looking at stores and finding a restaurant and talking and enjoying the company I was with.

But then we passed this one homeless man who had taken over a whole corner of the sidewalk with his energy.

He must have been sitting there a long time panhandling and the entire corner for several yards on each side of him was a flood of his energy.

As I walked through it,

I was immediately impacted,

Immediately began breathing to try to move it from me.

I instinctually will put my hand on my low back,

So I put my left hand around to my low back for some reason,

So the back of my forearm and my hand are pressed against my low back.

This must be a weak spot on me or something.

I know I have some scoliosis there,

But that's immediately what happens to me when I walk through heavy dark energy.

My other hand was in front of my belly,

So the inside of my wrist was against my belly.

It took me about one minute to clear that.

As I crossed the street,

I was still feeling it and clearing it.

The best way for me to clear something is to kind of ignore it.

I'm obviously aware of it.

I'm breathing and my hands are in funny positions,

But I'm escaping it.

I'm looking at beautiful things.

I'm window shopping and I'm walking and I'm talking and I'm expressing,

Oh my God,

There was energy all over that corner.

People are just walking through it.

As I continued onward,

I didn't let it stop my date and stop me and have to deal with this or go home or be upset.

I just continued breathing and walking and protecting.

Within a minute,

It was just gone and I was in a shop looking at jewelry.

Getting on the high vibration in the jewelry store also took me right up and out of any low vibration that I might have walked through.

Then we proceeded to sit in a crowded restaurant and sit on a crowded train and it was all fine.

I'm not being bombarded by people's energy left and right.

Let's practice this now.

We asked the angels and the spear guides to move around us.

Sit up straight if you're sitting in a chair,

Sway left and right.

Loosening up,

Becoming fluid light,

Allowing your energy to move,

To flow.

We ask our angels and our guides to help us be sensitive in the world,

To help us be in tune but not overly sensitive to the point where we can't exist,

Where we can't have fun,

We can't play,

We can't be among the people.

We ask to be a bright light for others.

We ask to spread this light everywhere we go.

We ask that our hearts are opened in a way that shines your light out from us,

Not in a way that takes on everybody else's stuff.

We ask that we're not too compassionate,

Meaning some people I know feel so bad for everyone like the guy on the street corner that they totally take it on.

They not only take it on but they ruin their date,

Their date ends up going home with it on them because they carried it and then they hug the date and it went on to them.

Then they go home and they bring it home to their children,

To their family.

Then they wake up feeling bad and they don't even know why.

They think they were just being love or loving but instead they actually didn't have good boundaries.

That's his life,

His space.

This is mine.

Here's what I'm doing.

I'm focused.

I have a plan.

I have an intention to have this wonderful,

Fun,

Playful time to balance out my work life,

My life that's filled with healing after healing after healing.

I'm doing so much and my intention and what my angels want for me is to have a playful,

Fun time.

They do not want me to see one man on a street corner and sink down into what he's going through.

They intended for me to play,

To have fun,

To be high.

So all in the name of compassion,

A lot of people I know are taking on other people's crap.

To affect the world,

To make change in the world,

To do the thing that you do best,

You have to stay focused.

When it's your time to give,

You give.

When it's your time to play,

You stay focused on playing.

To me,

The goal of this lifetime is to have a gorgeous energy field when you cross the finish line on the other side.

I've said that before and I'll say it many more times because we forget the goal.

The goal is to be magnificently gorgeous and bright when you cross over.

How does taking on other people's stuff,

Their heavy gray energy that ruins your entire day and maybe even the next day and your friend's day,

How does that brighten your energy field?

If you stay high,

You stay bright,

You are doing your job.

Most of the people you pass are being affected by your light.

Because you're on a high and you're laughing and you're bright,

You're more powerful to make change in the world.

You're more powerful when you are focused on your work,

On your calling.

When I was young in my 20s,

I was really tired and I could never understand why I was so tired and people called it chronic fatigue.

What I was doing is taking on everybody's stuff.

What I had to do is learn how to be a very bright presence.

I was shy before then.

I was quiet before then.

I had to learn to be God's light,

To be love.

When you're being God's light and love,

It's really,

Really hard to be shy.

Because if you're giving people love,

You don't care what you look like or what people are thinking of you because you're not looking at yourself.

You're too busy handing out doses of light,

Massive amounts of light to people.

It may look crazy.

You may be socially inept,

But people feel fantastic around you.

You may say the thing that you're not supposed to say to people,

But people feel amazing and they never forget what you said or what you did.

That's another way to spread that light.

We call on our angels and our spirit guides again and we ask them to just loosen up our shoulders to get this flow of light moving through us.

We ask that we're fountaining for other people and for the feel good feeling it gives us.

We ask that the light is something that we constantly are drawing from.

We ask for that feeling of being addicted to the light and addicted to spreading the light.

We ask for that high.

We give thanks for all the people in the world.

We give thanks for all the different types of people,

All the different energies in the world.

We ask that we are like a flame or a torch,

Spreading your love,

Spreading your light everywhere we go.

That my friend is what creates the boundaries.

It's this mentality that keeps us from being too empathic to our own detriment.

We give thanks.

Thanks be to God.

Thanks be to the light.

This is Ariel in the healing room.

I know that you're healing.

Absolutely loved this concept. It is so much more open and loving than the shielding that I had been trying. I will listen to this often and start practicing this today! Thank you so very much!

With so many thousands of meditations on Insight, I somehow moved back into shielding myself. I decided to go back and listen to my original favorites and rediscovered this meditation! I'm so happy that I found this again! I will put this practice back into my life today!

This was awesome!!!

Thank you! Love the positive energy... and amazing message of light and love ♥️🔥♥️

Great for lunch break at work! Ariel, where can we find the music?

Ariel is amazing! this meditation surfaced when i needed it most and I no longer feel exhausted from being an emotional sponge

So helpful, thank you. After listening to this, I finally understand that to be an effective giver of light in the world I need to pull in the Source of love and light from above continuously. This makes so much sense and I’m so happy to put this into practice right now this moment.

I really needed to hear this. Really really good 🙏🏻🌟💜

Very good advice for dealing with other people's energy.

This made a lot of sense to me. I'm going to stop taking on everyone else's junk and instead spread light and love. Thank you!❤

Thank you for this advice.
