Thoughtforms, Nightmares, And Empaths Oh My

Have you ever had nightmares or seen weird images in your mind after being around a crowd or certain people? In this episode of the Mystic’s Manual Podcast, we explore how our energy body processes information and how thoughtforms and foreign energetics can impact our sleep and even waking life. You’ll also learn a simple practice for clearing your energy before sleep to help prevent these types of experiences in the future.

Hello Frequency Leaders,

I'm Marie Blythe and welcome to the Mystics Manual where we explore the how-to of energy alchemy,

Metaphysics,

Intuition,

And all things mystical and magical through the lens of heart-centered living and spiritually aligned consciousness growth.

Today I wanted to talk to you about the energy body,

Intuition,

And how we process energetic information because I feel like this is kind of a fundamental aspect of seeing through energy,

Seeing the intention behind things,

And understanding some of the intuitive experiences we have,

Understanding some of the dreamtime experiences we have,

And really understanding how we are affected by energy because I think we really take this for granted a lot of the time.

We assume that everything we experience is our experience and that's really far from the truth.

So this kind of topic came up because someone in one of my classes,

It was actually the empath class,

Reached out and asked me a question about going out in public and when they experience big groups of people and are around a lot of people they come home and have a lot of nightmares at night before they go to sleep.

So they've put this together that this only happens when they've been around a lot of other people and we're wondering sort of what's going on here.

So our energy body is made up of a bunch of different energetic structures.

We have our chakras,

We have our meridians,

And there are other structures within those and those extend out into our auric field which is its own kind of energetic cohesive egg of frequency and that field has different layers to it and each layer represents a different bandwidth of frequency and each auric layer allows us to process different bandwidths or frequencies of energetic information and gives us feedback on it.

So essentially our energy body and our physical body because our physical body is made of energy,

It's just very dense energy and is part of our entire energetic system,

Our entire energy body and physical body in that whole self is designed to process different types of information to give us feedback about our environment and what we're engaging with.

So our innermost auric layer is the etheric body and this is where our chakras are anchored in and those energy centers extend out through our entire auric field but the core or the central structures of those are located in the etheric body and then we also have meridians and other energetic structures that are part of our energetic being that are anchored in through our etheric body.

So the etheric body is kind of like a double of our physical body,

It's like the energetic counterpart of the physical aspects of our body and it actually processes the electrical and electromagnetic information or gives that kind of feedback in our field.

So it's really deeply connected to the nervous system and the electrical impulses and feeling sensations like the physical sensations that we get in our body.

So when we get feedback through the etheric body if we're paying attention and we're sensitive enough and even if you're not sometimes if it's dense enough you'll actually feel as physical sensations that feedback that you're getting from your etheric body about your environment and also different energies that you may be holding in your body or that may be coming into your energy body.

So the other piece of this,

The next auric layer is your emotional body.

That layer of your aura is a bandwidth of your field that processes the frequencies of emotional energy.

So when those frequencies of energy are generated in our energy body or come in contact with our energy body from out there in the world,

Our energy body processes that information and then we feel that as emotional energy.

The third auric layer we have our mental body and this auric layer processes the bandwidth or frequency of energy that is thought information,

Thought forms or sometimes visual projections as well.

So these are the innermost auric layers.

There are a bunch more but we're not going to talk about those today.

The reason I'm talking about the innermost layers is because these are the ones that we most practically experience as a physical human and all people experience these.

We all experience the mind and thought,

We all experience emotion and we all experience physiological sensations in our body and those electrical impulses that move throughout our body as well as the electromagnetic field around us that our heart and our brain and just our entire body creates around us.

So what's important about this is that our energy body is not solid and it's meant to process information.

We assume that that information is coming from within us but it often is not.

A lot of the information that our energy body is processing,

Whether that be thought information,

Emotional information or even physical sensations and this is especially true if you're sensitive and intuitive,

A lot of that information could be environmental or it could be coming from other people.

So when we're out and about in the world and we're walking to the grocery store or going to a concert or a sports game or something like that,

We're around and coming into contact with other people's energy and that energy comes in a lot of different bandwidths from physical pain to emotional energy to thought energy and we can pick up these different energies in our energy body because we're coming energetically into contact with them and there are a lot of different reasons why we may have these energies kind of stick to our field instead of staying with who they belong with and some of those are because we may have our own energetics within us that are resonant with those frequencies that have been repressed.

Some of that could be ancestral that we're carrying,

Ancestral energies that are resonant with that.

Some of it could be just because we have porosity in our energy body for one reason or another.

There's so many different reasons why we can pick up environmental energies or energies from other people so I don't want you to get into like a it's my fault or it's their fault or whatever.

It just is what it is.

It's just being human but when we get these energies stuck in our field,

Our body and the physical senses that we have as well as the intuitive senses that we have start to process this information and this is especially true if you're intuitive because you have a heightened awareness or a heightened sense of being able to pick up a broader bandwidth of frequencies than just the very physical dense energies of the third dimension right.

So this person was asking why they would have nightmares when they were out in public and often what can happen is we will pick up on the thought forms that are circulating around in other people's energy body that they have not processed and these thought forms could be their own thoughts,

Their own energy.

It could be because they went and watched a tv show that was really negative or really action-packed or something like that and they still had the frequencies of that and the story of that playing in their mental body and when we walk through and come into contact with that,

Those thought forms which are these energetic structures created through thought can then stick to our energy body and then our energy body starts to process that information.

So if you suddenly start having dreams that are not,

They don't seem like yours or maybe you even start having like celebrities or characters from a tv show that you don't even watch start playing out in your dream time,

It's likely that you have picked up some thought forms from somewhere out in the world and your mind,

Your mental body while you're sleeping is attempting to process this energetic information.

Additionally,

This can happen with emotions so if other people are having deep intense emotions and then we start to pick up on that and feel those same things,

This is why people describe themselves as empaths and people often define an empath as being someone who feels the emotions of others.

The interesting thing about this though is that everyone has the ability to do this.

Empaths just have a tendency to recognize that it's happening,

They're able to notice oh this isn't mine,

This is that person's and I'm feeling what they're feeling but the energetics of it are just that their energy body,

That second auric layer that processes emotional information or that bandwidth of emotional frequency is coming into contact with emotional frequencies in the environment or in other people and then is beginning to process that information in the physical body which then generates our own emotions and it makes us think that we're feeling sad or we're feeling angry or whatever else okay.

This can happen with pain as well,

There are many empaths who identify as physical empaths and what's happening here is that their etheric body is picking up on the pain frequencies or those physical sensations that are happening in their environment or other people.

These are more like electrical and electromagnetic sensations or frequencies and those are being processed by their body as well and so they may say get knee pain when they walk by somebody that is on a set of crutches with a knee brace or something,

They're picking up that pain of the other person.

This is so important because we need to be aware that what we feel,

What we think and what we experience in our body isn't necessarily us,

It's not necessarily generated by us or coming from us and this is really important because part of the journey of the mystic and the light worker and the healer and you know whatever word you want to attach to it is learning who you are in your most authentic state and identifying what your unique frequency is as a soul and embodying that and if you can start to recognize this energy I'm processing isn't mine,

Whatever that is,

Then you're starting to become more aware of who you are and who you are not.

You're starting to become able to embody more of your authentic self and clear off or send away any frequencies or energetics that are not you,

That came from outside of you and this is what our healing process is all about is learning how to alchemize what isn't us,

What isn't our truth,

What isn't our true frequency,

Our true nature so that we can embody more of that frequency and true nature in the space within our being because that's what our purpose is,

Is to embody our unique nature as a unique fractal of source okay.

So if you've had experiences like this where you've had these like negative thoughts or see crazy weird images in your mind's eye before you go to sleep at night or when you close your eyes after you've been around other people or you start to have nightmares after being around other people,

One of the best things you can do before going to sleep at night is to clear your energy field of foreign energies and one of the phrases that I like to say very simply before I go to sleep at night,

Every night it's guides,

Higher self,

Source,

Will you please clear any thought forms,

Programs,

These would be mental programs or energetic programs,

And vibration lowering energetics in my field and any of my own energies that allowed them in.

So I say this every night and I allow that energy to clear and this works really well to almost like protect your dream time or protect your psyche while you're sleeping and when your body is in that restful state trying to process whatever information that has been left unprocessed,

We don't want to spend our sleep time processing other people's information and thought forms.

We want to spend that time healing,

Growing,

Learning,

Connecting with our higher self consciously or not,

But that time is for us.

That's supposed to be our time for our growth and integration and if we're spending that time processing energies from outside of us that we picked up during the day,

We may wake up exhausted in the morning and it's not even because of our stuff,

Right?

So I highly recommend that you try this if you've had this experience and particularly be aware of it on days where you've been around a lot of people and this could be every day for you.

If you go to work every day or if you go to the grocery store or shopping or you're just around other people,

All it takes is one person that has unprocessed thought form energy to create a situation in our energy body where we're trying to process that information.

So this is my first little mystics manual tip for you is there are these really basic simple maintenance things that we can do to make sure that we are distinguishing between our own energy and others and not just adopting everything in our field as being our own and having to process that.

We can clear that energy,

Send it back and then by doing so we're deeply impacting the experience that we have.

So if you can come home from being at a big event and you can have nightmares as a result of that and that ruins your whole night of sleep and you wake up fearful and anxious or angry or grief stricken or whatever it is,

If it can have that kind of impact on your sleep,

It's doing the same thing in your physical life.

I think what's really interesting is that we're often told that we attract the energy,

We attract experiences based on the energy we hold in our field and usually thoughts and emotions are what are highlighted here that we attract what we're thinking and feeling but we actually attract what's in resonance with the frequencies that we hold in our energy body and there are a plethora of different frequencies that we hold in our energy body.

Some of those are our own,

Some of those are thoughts and emotions,

Some may be energetic templates,

Energetic contracts that we have,

Some might be foreign energies that have come into our energy body from other people,

Some might be from our soul contract and higher dimensional energies as well.

So there are a lot of energies beyond just the conscious thoughts and emotions that we experience that attract our experience and shape our reality,

Whether that's during our sleep time or in our waking life.

It's so important to take responsibility for that and to start to own our energy body,

Stand in our power in our energy body and consciously choose to release what doesn't belong to us rather than assuming that it does belong to us or assuming that all of our experience is just us and there's something wrong with us.

That's not necessarily the case.

In fact,

It's often not the case if you really haven't looked at the energetics of things.

Most people don't look at the energetics behind what their thoughts and emotions and experiences are and that's why it's so important to trace those experience to the energetics because then we can really get to the root of it rather than just living a life that may be heavily informed by foreign energies,

Other people's energies.

So try this little trick before you go to bed,

Especially if you've had weird dreams or weird images in your mind's eye before you go to sleep.

This can be especially potent too before different astrological portals.

So new moons,

Full moons,

Eclipses,

Different gateways like the lion's gate portal,

Just different significant collective ascension portals or personal growth portals or whatever it is that we're going through either personally or collectively,

There can be an intensification of wanting to pull your energy down into a lower frequency by we'll say nefarious intentions of others that may or may not be physical beings.

So it's important to be aware during those particular times too if you see something amplifying or intensifying that you may want to try to clear foreign energies and claim sovereignty over your energy body and clear out those energies that don't belong to you.

All it takes is a statement of I release these energies,

These are not permitted in my field and you can ask for support from spirit in whatever way you like to to help you clear those energies.

So thanks for being here,

Thanks for being on the mystics path and for doing this work for yourself and for humanity.

Stay in your power,

Remember to follow your heart's wisdom always and I'll see you next time.
