Is there someone in your life who's bringing you down?
Environment is stronger than will.
It's hard to make positive changes when we're surrounded by negativity.
People have magnetism and their energy can either pull us up or down.
If you surround yourself with people who share your aspirations,
You'll feel inspired,
Uplifted,
And supported.
Don't underestimate the importance of the company you keep.
Whether this draining relationship is in your past or your present,
You can protect yourself from their dark energy.
Here's a powerful exercise to do just that.
Sit or stand with your eyes closed.
This exercise is not suited for lying down.
Take a few deep breaths.
Visualize a bright white light surrounding your body.
Whisper,
I am light,
Darkness,
Fly away.
Slowly lift your hands from your sides up and over your head.
Gently touch the tips of your fingers together when they meet over your head.
Lower your arms and touch your fingertips behind your back.
Visualize the light encircling you,
Following your arms up and down.
Mentally or verbally chant,
Om Tat Sat,
As you draw the circle of light with your arms up and down.
Om Tat Sat,
Om Tat Sat.
Continue to chant,
Om Tat Sat,
As you move your arms up and down.
Om Tat Sat,
Om Tat Sat,
Om Tat Sat,
Om Tat Sat.
After a few rounds,
Lift your arms in front of you while you chant.
Touch your fingers together in front and then reach behind you,
Touching your fingers together when they meet in the back.
Do this several times while envisioning that light encasing your body front to back and all around you,
Om Tat Sat,
Om Tat Sat,
Om Tat Sat,
Om Tat Sat.
When you're finished,
Join your hands together in front of your chest in prayer.
Mentally or verbally repeat,
I am light,
Darkness,
Fly away.
As you move about your day,
Envision the circle of light you drew around yourself.
It's protecting you from dark energy.
Practice drawing this circle of light before and after you interact with toxic people.
Feel its power of protection.
Om Tat Sat represents the unmanifest and absolute reality.
No matter what your religion or spiritual beliefs,
Most people feel that some sort of source energy or super consciousness threads the universe together.
This simple yet powerful mantra calls upon that source of oneness for protection.
If that mantra doesn't resonate with you,
Find words that feel good.
You can stick with,
I am light,
Darkness,
Fly away,
Or even something as simple as,
I am safe,
Or I am protected.
Do this daily if it feels good,
And don't let the bastards get you down.
