Empaths Can Protect Themselves By Putting Their Shields Up, Star Trek Style...

Shields up, red alert! Just like spaceships protect themselves from attacks, we can consider ourselves as an energetic structure that needs to be protected as well. Empaths and highly sensitive people can use energetic shields to protect themselves from energetically charged situations.

Hello everyone!

I hope that you're doing amazing wherever you are in the world.

My name is Bhoomshakha and I welcome you to my channel.

As you can see the colors are changing behind me.

I think you can see there is a little bit of red,

A little bit of yellow,

A little bit of green.

It's just the beginning.

It's going to be all so beautiful.

I love fall.

I've already said this a billion times.

It's such a beautiful season and being in the tropics it's very hard because there's no fall there really.

I mean obviously the colors don't change and all that so it's nice to be in Canada during this beautiful time.

In this video I want to speak to you about protecting your heart and your physical space and particularly about personal space and touch.

Recently an individual commented on the channel saying something like,

You know,

I have a really hard time even hugging people who are really close to me.

Even my own friends,

Our family members,

People that I know and trust.

I still have a very hard time hugging them or showing any kind of physical affection to them because I'm afraid.

Now I thought it was kind of interesting because I understand as an INFJ or as an empath or highly sensitive person that you might be in a situation where you are apprehensive of intermingling your energies and your physical space or your aura with someone else that you might not trust.

So strangers off the street or random people that you don't know what they're like.

Just people that you meet in social events,

Things like that.

I can understand.

I've spoken about it previously where I step back away from people when I don't know them and they go in to give me a hug and I'm like I'm sorry but I don't know who you are and I'm not hugging you if I don't know where you've been and what kind of energy you have.

So that makes sense to me.

But I was a little bit confused because obviously this person said that I trust these people.

They're in my group,

They're my loved ones,

They're my family members.

Not that I'm saying you have to necessarily trust family.

But this person did trust these people but they still had a hard time with personal touch,

With giving into a personal space,

Giving them space.

I mean the permission to come into their personal space by giving them a hug.

I kind of started thinking about it and I think and I've had this situation myself as well when I was younger and I think it comes from the idea,

The misguided idea we have as individuals that a person can harm us if we allow them into our space.

Now I'm not saying necessarily that energy is not powerful and that it can't harm us.

I mean there are people out there,

Narcissistic people,

Toxic,

Extremely toxic energy people who can even just come into your space,

Not even into your personal space but just nearby you and instantaneously can drain you of your energy or can put you into a funk.

So I get it.

I understand what you're saying.

It's not necessarily that it's not possible but what I want to say is that it is only possible if you allow it to happen or you let it happen by staying in that space.

There's many different ways to deal with these situations.

First of all,

It's the idea that we are strong enough as empaths even,

As highly sensitive people that if someone even does come into our space and they are negative that we have the ability as individuals with our strength and our power and our physical and energetic strength to be like no,

Yes that energy is coming towards me but no I'm not gonna let it into my space and I have the ability to create a sort of energetic shield around me.

So that is absolutely possible and we do that all the time,

Perhaps unconsciously but it is possible for us to do that.

So it doesn't necessarily mean that just because there is negative energy around us that it needs to come into our space or into our aura or into us.

So it is possible for us to be like no,

It's not happening.

I'm gonna put a shield around me and I've spoken about this before previously how you can actually just kind of put your hand against your heart so you can actually protect it physically by actually putting your physical body or your hand against it,

Against your heart or on top of your heart or you can literally kind of hunch over which a lot of people do but of course that doesn't really look particularly nice or feel particularly nice or you can just walk away from the situation obviously or you can put headphones on or with some really good pumped up music that you love or you can start reading a book and you can kind of just dissociate yourself from that situation so you don't get affected by it.

So there's many ways to deal with it but the main point of all of this is that just because it's there doesn't mean that it'll affect you.

Now this is particularly to speak about negative energy that's in the atmosphere,

Negative energy that's around you but secondly what I wanted to say is that just because it's coming at you doesn't mean that it can harm you which means that you can even still perhaps you're not fast enough and the energy,

The bad energy,

The negative energy was able to get into your physical space and was able to get into your aura.

Again it doesn't mean that it'll still harm you,

Have the capability and the capacity and the strength unless you're completely depleted and you've completely not taken care of yourself and that's another story so that means that you have to start taking care of yourself and not depleting yourself in that manner but if you are not completely depleted then there is a possibility that even if it comes into your aura,

Even if you are affected by that negative energy that doesn't negatively or adversely affect you.

So yeah it's near you,

It's inside of you,

You can feel the ickiness,

You can feel the sliminess kind of getting at you but if you're strong enough in your physicality,

If you're strong enough in your physical body that you've been sleeping properly,

Eating properly,

Drinking enough water,

Taking care of yourself,

Doing self-care routines,

You'll notice that even if the negative energy comes at you,

You can be like yeah okay I feel it,

It doesn't feel good but it hasn't completely depleted me,

It hasn't completely taken me out right and you can kind of do some self cleansing routines.

Usually what I do is I take a shower,

It's a really good way of getting rid of any kind of negative energy that's attached to yourself,

Attached itself to you and I do this a lot when you know I come from some situation where I'm like hmm I just feel off,

I don't know why I feel off but I feel off,

I'll just go take a shower quick,

It doesn't have to be very like a long elaborate thing,

A quick shower and the water will just take it out of your system and take it away,

Take the negative ions away,

Or the negative energy away right and so it's very easy for us to be like if we are taking care of ourselves to be like yeah I got it you know you're coming at me and I see you coming,

The negative energy or I see that you've attached yourself to me already wow that was quick but it doesn't mean unnecessarily that affects me negatively I'm still strong enough to be like all right I can deal with it I'm gonna go take a walk or I'm gonna go listen to really good music or I'm going to take a shower or I'm going to get a massage or I'm gonna do something that I don't get affected by that negative energy right and so yeah it's affected you it's already like oh I can see it it's attached itself to me but I can't do anything about it.

No you can actually do something about it and you can rejuvenate yourself it's not necessarily that it's just that's the end of it and you're done that is not the point of it.

The final thing that I wanted to say is that if it's a person that you know and trust and love then you letting them into your personal space is not going to affect you adversely especially because it is your not responsibility but it is you are giving them permission to come into your space and you have the ability or capability to either let their energy affect you or not right it is still possible to hug someone and keep your heart closed off it is still possible to hug someone or to let someone into your personal space and keep your body contained and protected physically energetically however you want to look at it there's a lot of times when I'm in situations especially when I'm in Chiang Mai people like to hug there a lot and a lot of times I'm just like alright fine I'll just do it but what happens in those situations is that I'm going in to hug these individuals who are where they might be it doesn't really matter to me I don't know if they're negative or positive or not but I go into hug these people and they're coming in and I instantaneously in that moment of time strengthen my boundaries I strengthen my energetic boundaries I strengthen myself so that I know that if they do come in and they have any kind of negative energy associated with them or attached to them that even if I get it on top of me even if it touches me it won't affect me because I'm protected I'm energetically protecting myself I'm energetically protecting myself and it's something that is it's a tweak it's just a mental tweak it's something that you just have to do and learn how to do it but it's very easy for you probably to manipulate energy in a lot of different other ways you just have to realize that you can manipulate energy not only in other ways but also in order to protect yourself it's it's like a shield it's basically if you kind of look at it in that manner I always look at it and I think whoa like wow I have like this basic physical but energetic field around me and it feels very protective it feels very nurturing and it feels like I can go into any situation and I won't be affected by it because I'm protected it's I have the shield around me and sometimes you know it I kind of think of it in my head like shoes up you know and I don't know where it's from exactly but you can kind of think of it as like men Superman or Batman I don't know any kind of superheroes going into a shit situation and they oh no it's actually coming from Star Trek yeah shields up right and so you know you're going into a battle mode and you have to put your shields up that's exactly how how you have to do it as an empath we're putting our shields up doesn't necessarily mean that we can't allow that person to our space doesn't necessarily mean that we can't give them a hug it's not gonna affect us our shields are up our energetic seal shields are up and so I wanted to do this video because I wanted people to especially I'm passing HSPs highly sensitive people not begin thinking that okay now their life is completely ended it's like alright I'm done with human beings in general I can never go out again I'm an empath I get affected negatively by energy I just have to stay in my room forever and ever and ever it's nice to be in your room but not to say that okay I'm never gonna speak to my loved ones either because I'm never gonna hug them hugging is a huge form of communication and it's a great way for us to get a lot of good hormones into our body so if you're never gonna hug someone that's actually a negative adverse effect on you not that person but you and so I really wanted to do this video so hopefully to kind of explain to you that you have the power you can protect yourself you don't need to worry about all this stuff it's actually a lot of its meaningless and I think we make a bigger deal out of it than actually is right no matter how sensitive you are no matter how much of an empath you are you have the capability to protect yourself using your energetic shields just shields up you know make sure that your shields are up rather than out okay I hope this makes sense if you need more of a detailed view of energetic shields and things like that please comment below and I shall do a follow-up video but I think it's pretty straightforward if you've dealt with energy at all you'll be able to put your shields up very easily no problem okay if you have questions comment below and I shall see you in the next video bye for now
