Empathy. It can be a wonderful thing. It can also get you in a lot of unnecessary trouble. Being nice to the point where you jeopardize your own integrity and comfort does no good to anyone. Except maybe the energy vampires.
Oh yeah, they exist.
This is where boundaries come in. And while some of you – as I myself once did – might think that by walling people out you’ve established boundaries; it actually doesn’t work like that. Boundaries are a barrier, not a wall. An energetic field, an aura for my woo-woo friends. But mystical believer or not this field exists and needs to be maintained for optimal energetic health and overall well-being.
There are many ways to do this and everyone will be different in their approach but a simple practice I have found useful is to imagine it as a membranous layer of shimmering light. The color is yours to decide, but don’t get too hung up on it. If you’re anything like me and find yourself in indecision you may find that you feel unsure of which colour to choose. Well don’t choose, let the colour choose you by breathing through the indecisive thoughts and letting the calm, quiet voice beneath the rowdy ones come forth. That is the voice of your highest self, your soul, that piece of you that resonates with the Universe. Let it choose for you.
And now you have your aura colour, imagine it strengthening, increasing in its vibrancy. Let it extend outward from your body, a projection of light. Feel into any rips or tears, and playfully repair. You may hear voices questioning the point of this, questioning your sanity, whispering that you are wasting your time. Let those voices be to the side. They are the voice of your ego and it fears you doing this work. Fears you letting go of it and becoming something more. Turn away from them and imagine yourself shining from within – your light radiating outward dissolving the shadowed voices of doubt.
And now you have amplified your aura, strengthened your power and protection. It takes practice and patience to get it right for you, and I guarantee the fear-based voices will rise again. Let them come and let them go. Moving forward with the knowing that this magic you feel within yourself is real, and if you follow it your life will become miraculous.
