Podcast Episode 1 - You Don't Pick Up Energy
by Dragos Folea
My energy is like a steady flame—grounded, adaptive, and self-sustaining. It’s not something that fluctuates based on what’s happening around me because I stay deeply rooted in my own inner alignment. I don’t absorb energy from others because I’ve learned to operate as a mirror rather than a sponge. Instead of taking in energy that doesn’t belong to me, I reflect it back or let it pass by, staying clear and centered in who I am. This ability comes from years of meditation and self-awareness. I’ve cultivated a strong connection to my own energy field, so I can easily sense what’s mine and what’s not. It’s like having a clear boundary that isn’t a wall—it’s permeable enough to allow connection but strong enough to maintain sovereignty. I remain present, but I don’t take on anything that doesn’t serve me.

Hello,
Hello.
Welcome,
Everyone.
Welcome to the podcast,
To the first episode.
Today,
We're going to be talking about how energy transfer or energy absorption actually works.
And we're going to be talking about empaths.
So when it comes to energy transfer or energy absorption,
You don't really absorb energy or you don't really transfer your energy to someone else or you don't really pick up someone else's energy.
Because from an energetic point of view,
That's not how it works.
So how the mechanism actually works is,
If you would imagine,
You are your own bubble,
You are your own universe,
Right?
So imagine yourself as a bubble.
And within this bubble,
There is everything,
The entire universe.
And what happens is you don't really pick up energy.
You match the other person's energy.
So if,
Let's say,
You meet with a person and your energy bubble is green and the other person's energy bubble is red,
You don't pick up their energy.
What you do is you match it.
So what is happening actually is you transform your bubble energy from green to red to match their energy.
And this is basically how this energy transfer happens.
It's not really a transfer.
It's basically a matching of energy.
But when it happens,
We feel it in such a way that we think it's an absorption or like,
Oh,
I picked up someone else's energy or someone else's bad vibe.
But that's not the case.
That's not how it works,
Because you're your own energy,
You're your own universe,
And you choose to match someone's energy.
And this usually happens because of negative beliefs such as shame,
Blame,
Guilt,
Not being enough,
People pleasing,
Lack of self-worth and so on.
Because what I've seen also in my own life is we usually go into a crowd or go into a group of people and we match their energy in order not to bother them,
Because we want to conform,
We want to fit in.
And on one level,
This can be OK to fit in at some level.
But the main issue is that most people,
They're lowering their vibration or they are changing so much that they don't have their unique vibration anymore.
So basically,
Empaths are like some chameleon people.
They go into a crowd or they go with meet with one person and they energetically become that person.
Because what you should normally do,
It's in that situation or in any situation,
You should stay in your own field.
You should stay in your own vibration,
In your own energy as how you actually are.
And this is what I've been practicing for a long time,
For years and years of meditation,
For years and years of solitude.
I managed to actually feel how my energy is,
How my pure,
Unique energy is without comparing it to anyone else.
Because what I noticed is whenever I would meet someone or whenever I would go to a certain crowd,
My field would change a little bit.
I would still have my unique energy,
But the flavor would change a little bit just to adapt to my surroundings.
So what you should do in that sense is to understand where is your unique frequency,
Where is the level that you're vibrating naturally at,
And understand that why you are lowering your vibration when you meet someone else.
Why is the reason?
Why would you do that?
And again,
Most of the time is because of negative beliefs,
Because of the need to want to fit in,
The need to conform and the need to,
Let's say,
Not displease other people.
So when this happens,
You're not really absorbing anyone's energy,
You're just matching it.
And because you're unaware of how your actual energy is,
You don't know who you are.
And for this,
You need solitude,
You need meditation.
For me,
Meditation has worked a lot because I spend a lot of time alone.
Because I got to know what my unique frequency is,
What is the state that I am naturally inclined to be in.
And when I go out with people,
I maintain that level of energy.
So I do not change.
I do not match other people's energy.
I'm like,
This is me.
This is this is who I am.
If you like it,
Good.
If you don't like it,
Still good.
So it is important for you to be able to maintain your level of energy in all situations or your unique vibration.
Why is that?
Because when people are saying like,
Oh,
That person is charismatic or that person is special,
You know why they say that?
Because they are keeping their unique vibration.
They're keeping their unique vibration.
And what people do is they change themselves to match the people.
And nobody actually likes that.
Because if you're always a chameleon,
If you're always adapting to other people,
You have nothing special about you.
You're literally just copying someone else's energy.
And people can feel that.
That's why you need courage to really,
Really be yourself,
To fully accept yourself,
How you are,
And to let go of the negative beliefs,
Because there are a lot of negative beliefs like I'm not worthy,
I'm not good enough,
How will others perceive me,
I will lose friends and so on and so forth.
And because of these beliefs,
We tend to imitate or to copy the people around us.
And in a sense,
We lose ourselves,
We lose our own unique frequency.
And your unique frequency is actually the most special gift that you have.
Like I cannot emphasize how special this gift is.
So one night after learning all of this information,
And practicing it,
I decided,
Okay,
I want to feel my unique frequency.
So I meditated,
I disconnected from everyone.
And I centered myself to see how would I feel or how would I be if I would be fully myself.
This means in any situation without any fear of social norms or social laws and so on.
And when I tapped into my unique frequency,
It felt amazing.
Like I just cannot really express the level of excitement,
The level of expansion that I felt.
It was true freedom,
True freedom to be yourself,
To express yourself,
How you really are.
Because it felt like I can finally grow to my true size.
All the other levels of expressions felt like a cage felt like a limitation.
And felt like I was restricting myself,
Something like wearing the boots that are not my size or wearing some type of shirt that was too tight.
And if I moved,
It would break.
And when I tapped into my true frequency,
It just felt just beyond amazing.
Because then you're fully expanded,
You're fully yourself,
You behave how you want to behave.
And I'm not saying this because most people maybe will take it in a negative sense of like,
Oh,
I will be able to do bad stuff and be an asshole.
No,
That's not really your true self.
That's just the suppressed part of you that is actually trying to get back at the world.
Because you are not,
You don't have the courage to really be yourself.
Because the exterior world and other people are not at fault.
They're just reacting to your energy.
They're just reacting to how you are behaving.
If you would fully have the courage to be yourself and to allow yourself to be in your unique energy,
Other people would respond in a different way.
Some people would leave.
Some people would hate you.
Some people will praise you.
Some people will be like,
Finally,
Like this is the person that that I like or this is the person that I've been looking for.
And this unique frequency that you and everyone has,
Because it's everyone has a very different,
Unique flavor.
And it doesn't really matter if,
Let's say,
You have a friend or you have a person that is 99% similar to you in the way you walk or in the way you behave or in your activities.
Doesn't matter.
Even that 0.
001% difference makes you different.
And it's all about being your true,
Unique frequency.
Of course,
This will come with time,
Because first of all,
You need to become sensitive to how you feel.
And then you need to discover what is the feeling or what is the emotion that I actually want to feel.
And when you do that,
When you finally find that unique emotion or that unique frequency of who you really,
Really are.
And this usually comes from the heart.
So you will feel it in the heart.
Then you need to find all the reasons why you cannot express this.
So all the all the beliefs,
All the definitions of why you cannot express who you really are.
And most of the time,
The definitions are,
Oh,
I will be in danger.
People will hate me.
People will not accept me.
Society will go against me and so on.
But guess what?
The alternative,
It's a slow death.
Literally,
That's the alternative.
It's like if you always pretend to be someone else.
That's where the depression or this unhappiness comes from.
Because we feel at a deeper level who we are,
We all of us do.
We feel it,
But it's hidden behind so many negative programs,
So many layers that we don't really want to pay attention because it triggers a lot of fear from the negative beliefs.
But this unique frequency that you have and everyone has is your biggest gift to yourself,
First of all,
And to everyone else.
But you cannot imagine how many people have told me,
Wow,
You're so crazy.
Wow,
You're so yourself.
You're so different because I was always behaving from my true frequency most of the time.
And people could feel that people could feel that people could sense that.
And when I gave myself permission to be myself,
Other people were like,
Because I saw you,
I also want to be myself.
And it gave them courage to do so.
Courage to try at least.
Because they see it's like,
OK,
Someone is behaving how they really are.
They don't care about social norms.
They don't care about social rules and so on.
And they're fine.
Not only they're fine,
But they look fucking amazing and they look happy.
How?
How is that possible?
It is possible.
Because that is the result,
Believe it or not,
If you step into your true frequency.
Your life will change dramatically because finally you will do what it's in alignment with your true self.
And I know this may sound.
Woo woo or or weird to some people.
But once you get into that feeling,
Believe me,
You will not want to get out of it because that feeling is so liberating,
So free that you wouldn't want to trade it for anything else.
It's like some people will get into that feeling and then limit themselves again because of some negative beliefs.
But if you got already to that sensation,
You know what is waiting for you.
And then it's a choice.
It's a choice.
Do I want to be myself or do I want to restrict myself because I believe some sort of lie?
Some sort of fear based belief that actually doesn't help me because.
Why?
I know in my own opinion is like,
Why leave this life to be someone else?
To restrict yourself,
To be limited.
To live like,
I don't know,
47,
40 or 70,
70 years of slow death and suffering when you can just be yourself and when you're truly yourself,
Then you're going to experience happiness,
Happiness to such a level that every moment will be worth living because you will be completely aligned to yourself,
To your higher mind,
To your higher self.
And you'll be doing why you'll be doing what you are meant to be doing.
Because each one of us has a unique frequency and each one of us is meant to be themselves.
And each one of us has their own place in the world or in the universe.
So when you understand this,
It's like your unique frequency has everything for you.
Everything is on your unique path.
The moment you try to go to someone else's path or to some other path,
That's when the problems arise.
That's when the bad luck,
The suffering,
The complications,
That's when things happen because your track is empty.
And I'm like,
It's empty because you believe it,
You shouldn't be there because of some certain lie or certain belief.
Once you get on your track,
It's basically there you have everything.
Why?
Because it's yours.
It's like your own private,
Let's call it like your own private train,
Your own private car,
Your own private road and everything else.
If you can imagine that for a moment.
But in order to do that,
You really need to accept yourself and to know who you are beyond all of the programming of society,
Parents,
Friends and so on.
And this goes deeper.
This goes much,
Much deeper than just your own energy.
What I've noticed in my own life is whenever there are certain circumstances,
Let's say the government changes some regulation or raises taxes or changes something.
I felt when I was getting into fear or into these negative emotions and I was like,
Oh,
Wait a second.
What I'm actually doing is because of a fear based belief,
I'm matching the energy of the government or I'm matching the energy of the reality that they are trying to create.
And of course,
If you're matching that reality,
You will experience it.
So once I became aware of that,
I was like,
OK,
No,
I do not choose that.
I choose to live in a reality that is more aligned with my vibration.
So what I did is I centered back in my own frequency,
In my own reality,
Knowing that if I stay here,
If I focus on my vibration,
I will experience my path.
And this doesn't matter what happens on the outside,
Doesn't matter what the government change or what situation happens.
It only matters will you match that level or will you stay at your level,
At your vibration?
And then what will happen is.
You will experience your own version of that reality.
Everyone else can can experience a lower level or a different,
Let's say,
Limited reality.
Why?
Because they are matching that that level,
Because they believe they do not have any power to change it.
So,
Of course,
They go and they match the frequency of that of the government or of what reality the government is actually creating.
But if you stay in your own frequency and you're like,
Nope,
I have options.
I will choose to stay in my own vibration,
In my own level.
Then what will happen is you will either not experience that reality or you will experience it,
But in such a different way that it will not affect you.
And I had this happen so many times in my workplace,
In my jobs,
In social circles,
Social events and so on.
Why?
Because I stayed in my own vibration.
Same thing when,
Let's say,
Some changes happen in your company.
If these changes are impacting you or are seen as a negative and if you match the frequency of that reality,
Because keep in mind the company,
The state,
The country,
The political system,
They're all bubbles of energy.
They're all bubble realities.
And we may choose to match their frequency,
To basically to go into their reality.
This is what most of the people do.
They think that they don't have a choice,
So they match the frequency of those bubbles,
Of those realities.
And guess what?
They experience it.
Easy.
But what you should do instead is understand that you don't need to choose that.
You don't need to.
Even if it's happening in your own company,
You need to understand,
Are you aligning your energy to that reality?
If yes,
You will experience it.
Or you may have a choice to not align it and to be in your own frequency.
And if you stay in your own frequency,
In your own vibration,
Guess what?
The situation will 100% change.
If it doesn't change,
You will not experience it the same.
You will have no reaction to it.
You will have either no emotion to it.
Why?
Because you don't resonate with it.
And what I've seen in my life is whenever I do this,
Either I experience it in a very different way,
So basically I have no negative emotion about it,
Or the situation completely changes to my favor.
This is your power.
Your power is to remain in your own frequency,
Regardless of what is happening on the outside.
If you match your frequency to a reality that you do not prefer,
This means that you have a belief that that reality,
Or that,
I don't know,
Company,
Government,
State,
Whatever,
Has more power over you,
Which again is an illusion.
If you stay in your frequency and do not match your energy to the government or to the,
Let's say,
To that negative reality,
Guess what?
You will not experience it.
Because that's the whole idea of this,
Let's call it,
You know,
Fear-based realities,
Conspiracies,
All of that.
They are trying to,
For you to be like,
Oh my God,
This is going to happen.
And then guess what?
You match your,
You go with your frequency to that level.
And guess what?
If you're at that level,
You will experience that reality.
The idea is,
Always be aware,
Always be conscious of,
What is my vibration?
What is my reaction to the situation?
And understand,
What am I choosing?
Am I choosing to match their vibration?
Am I choosing to go to their level?
Or am I choosing to go to my level?
This is your choice.
But this can happen also in the positive sense.
In the positive sense of,
If you have,
Let's say,
An enlightened person,
A person that you admire,
A mentor,
Ascended master,
What they're doing is they're staying in their own frequency for you to match it,
For you to be like,
Okay,
Do you want to come to my level?
Because you can also do that.
You just need to change your frequency.
And what is the master doing?
They're staying at that high frequency to give you an opportunity for you to get to that level.
And then it's your choice if you want to go to that level or not.
It's as simple as that.
It's all depending on our choices of what energy we choose to create within ourselves.
Keep in mind,
You do not absorb,
You do not transfer any energy.
You consciously or subconsciously match the energy of the people or the surroundings around you.
That's why in my situation,
Or I've seen other people,
It doesn't matter in what circumstances they were,
They always had the most favorable outcome.
Why?
Because they were like the eye,
They were like the middle,
They were like the eye of the storm.
So around you can be chaos,
Can be the worst things happening.
But if you remain centered in your vibration,
You are untouched.
And that is the secret.
It's not even a secret.
It's actually very simple,
But you need to have practice for you to really become conscious of your vibration,
Of your energy.
And of course,
For you to choose.
To what are you matching your energy?
Are you matching it to something that you prefer or are you matching it to something that you do not prefer?
And why?
Because if you're matching your energy to something that you do not prefer,
There is a negative belief,
There is a negative situation.
So this is what happens to empaths.
This is what happens to people,
To situations.
And the main lesson is that you're not a victim.
You can choose to be,
But you can also choose not to be.
By staying in your own frequency,
By being yourself,
Which you need to go on a journey to really discover what is your real self.
And for this,
The best thing that I've discovered,
It's alone time.
You need alone time from news,
From family,
From friends,
From anything.
Because all of this outside environment will still reinforce and keep you in the same old reality or old vibration.
You do this by comparison.
Because when I was in meditation and I was relaxing very,
Very deeply,
All the programs,
All the mental schemes dissolved.
And when all the mental schemes dissolved,
I could really tap into my frequency or into my base frequency.
So I had something to compare it with.
I felt the difference.
And then I was like,
Oh,
Okay.
So now when I go out and I feel this emotion,
It's very different from how I am in meditation.
So it's all about doing activities,
Doing meditations,
Retreats,
Whatever helps you to change your state for you to be able to compare the states,
The states that you prefer and the states that you do not prefer.
Because most of the time people are experiencing or they're living in a state so long that they think that this is normal.
It's not normal.
You're just familiar to it.
You just got used to it.
And once you change your state and you understand that something else is possible,
Then you really understand that you have options.
You really,
Really understand that you have options and then it's up to you to choose.
So choose to be in your own unique frequency,
Choose yourself and give yourself the gift of your of being yourself is the greatest gift that you can ever achieve.
Nothing else will compare.
No material gain.
You can make a billion dollars,
But it's still not on the same level as really being yourself.
That is the most liberating,
The most satisfying thing you can achieve here on this planet from my perspective.
So I hope you enjoyed it and hopefully it will be helpful for you.
Cheers and wish you all the best.
