Have you ever hung out with someone and by the time you were done just felt like your energy was completely drained for no reason? Energy vampires are friends, family members or coworkers who literally zap your emotional energy.

They may be charming but they’re also crafty.

Today we’re diving back into our energy fields. A lot of you have told me how much you’re affected by other people’s negative energies so I’m going to address that from a few angles. We already did an episode on what it means to be an empath. I did that one first because those are the people that need it most. They’re affected by it the most.⠀⠀Next we tackled it from the totally practical side when we learned how to have productive disagreements in episode 106.⠀⠀Now I’m going to address it from a spiritual angle. ⠀This episode has its moments of woowoo, but it also has some really practical advice regardless of where you are on the woo scale, as I call it.⠀⠀When we really connect the idea that thoughts are energy, we can open our mind to the fact that directing our thoughts direct a subtle field of energy that we can’t see… well most of us can’t see.⠀⠀So that’s what we’re talking about today. Our guest is Atherton Drenth. Clairvoyant, Medical Intuitive and Holistic Energy Practitioner. She’s also the author of a booked called intuitive Dance.⠀⠀We will learn: What fear cords are and how to cut them How to deal with emotional blackmail How to protect yourself from negative or unwanted energy. ⠀Show Notes: mindlove.com/110See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
