- 0:25I'm your host, Kathie Owen certified fitness trainer and certified life coach since 2002.

- 0:39And today we're talking about absorbing other people's energies, how this happens and what we can do about it.
- 0:47Let's get into the episode.
- 0:48So the first time I really, really got this was I stopped absorbing other people's emotions and energies.
- 0:56When I learned about pendulums in the book, Reality Transurfing.
- 1:00And today I'm going to give you a description of a pendulum.
- 1:03Define constructive and destructive pendulums.
- 1:07And give you simple steps to start your journey free of other people's negative energies.
- 1:13This is a very important skill that is invaluable to you as a coach, entrepreneur, or simply just being human in general.
- 1:22Because it happens.
- 1:26Who am I to explain this?
- 1:28I received a clinical diagnosis of complex post-traumatic stress disorder in 2006.
- 1:35This came after years of chronic abuse from someone with narcissistic personality disorder.
- 1:41And by the way, we all have narcissistic tendencies.
- 1:46I spent many years in counseling and study human behavior on an extensive basis.
- 1:52Today I am a survivor of my diagnosis and I teach others that we are not victims of our circumstances.
- 1:59As a coach, entrepreneur, or just being human in general, there are going to be times when you need to be careful of those around you.
- 2:07Absorbing other people's emotions is a real thing.
- 2:11Today I'm going to discuss the ways that worked for me.
- 2:14When it came to dealing with others, negative emotions.
- 2:18These skills come from years of study and analysis of human behavior.
- 2:23I also teach others how how to find success using Reality Transurfing principles.
- 2:29What does Reality Transurfing say about absorbing other people's energy?
- 2:36Reality Transurfing is a book written by Russian quantum physicist, vadim Zeland.
- 2:41The book is full of great ideas and concepts for creating a reality that you love.
- 2:47It is also full of topics on how to deal with other people's energy.
- 2:52Take a deep breath.
- 2:54And let's discuss.
- 2:57One of the best concepts in Reality Transurfing for dealing with other people's emotions is a pendulum.
- 3:04A pendulum is simply a thought structure that everyone thinks, and it only wants your energy.
- 3:10Easy examples of pendulums are sports teams.
- 3:13Imagine this you're at a stadium watching a huge sporting event.
- 3:18All of a sudden the home team scores.
- 3:20The entire stadium erupts into huge cheers.
- 3:24And you do too.
- 3:25You can't help, but get caught up in the energy field of excitement.
- 3:30Then the next thing, you know, a famous team member makes a huge mistake.
- 3:35It is detrimental to the entire game, the whole stadium erupts into a yelling match.
- 3:41You can feel the negative energy in the air.
- 3:44The poor guy simply made a human mistake and now everyone hates him.
- 3:50What happened in that stadium is a pendulum prod.
- 3:54As I said, the pendulum is simply a thought structure that everyone thinks, and it only wants your energy.
- 4:00It pendulum is like an energy vampire.
- 4:03And if you are not careful, it will suck your energy dry.
- 4:10Energy vampires are everywhere.
- 4:12They rely on the emotions of others to get you pulled into their sway.
- 4:16Vadim Zeland says it himself in the book, a pendulum's favorite dish is dissatisfaction and lack of fulfillment.
- 4:24So how does one learn how to stop absorbing this lack of fulfillment and dissatisfaction also known as emotional energy feelings of others and emotional experiences.
- 4:37Well today, I'm going to answer that question.
- 4:39The first step is to identify the negative pendulums in your life.
- 4:45Remember these negative pendulums can be other people's feelings, an emotional experience, and even social anxiety.
- 4:53Since pendulums are everywhere, you must realize which ones are destructive and which ones are constructive for you and your energy levels.
- 5:02For example, the gal who works at CNN news has a constructive pendulum of negative news.
- 5:10That is her job.
- 5:12That is what she works on every single day.
- 5:14And she thrives on it.
- 5:16I on the other hand would identify that news pendulum also known as negative energy as destructive.
- 5:24Why?
- 5:25Because the negative news causes me to feel other people's emotions that I do not want to feel and causes me to give up my own energy as a result.
- 5:35So now I'm going to give you 12 simple tips.
- 5:38You can take to protect yourself from destructive pendulums, also known as other people's stress emotions of other people and even energy vampires.
- 5:49Number one set clear and healthy boundaries.
- 5:53Boundaries are one of the best ways to protect yourself from an emotional sponge, an energy vampire or a suspected source of negative energy.
- 6:02Oftentimes what happens is we let our guard down and we let someone come in and drain our energy.
- 6:09And then we are left, unprotected and drained.
- 6:13By having boundaries, you're able to say no.
- 6:16No is a complete sentence.
- 6:19Now I get it.
- 6:20This can be difficult, but let me add this.
- 6:22It can be difficult at first.
- 6:25Sometimes changing boundary patterns with friends and family is a retraining process.
- 6:31But being consistent with setting a kind, but firm boundary will protect you from energy vampires.
- 6:37It just takes consistent practice and action.
- 6:42Number two ground yourself in nature.
- 6:44Simply taking a five minute walk in nature can be a great way to bring yourself back into flow or away from negative energies.
- 6:52Oftentimes we need to heal and release and being in fresh, clean green environment or around water clears negativity.
- 7:00The earth emanates healing.
- 7:02Try going barefoot and feeling the Earth's power through your feet.
- 7:07To shed other people's energies, feel the grass between your bare toes and walk in the sand or the soil.
- 7:13Feel the nurturing medicine of the earth coming through your feet to ground you.
- 7:19It can be a beautiful feeling and can release positive energy and positive emotions.
- 7:25Number three practice mindfulness.
- 7:28Mindfulness is the human ability to tune in to the moment.
- 7:33And mindful person is fully present, fully aware and fully connected with themself.
- 7:39A few key mindfulness tactics include touching objects with unique texture.
- 7:45Looking at and naming the colors around you.
- 7:48And taking deep breaths.
- 7:50By focusing more on the experience of the moment.
- 7:52You can keep others energy separate and deflect their negative emotions.
- 7:58Number four meditate.
- 8:01Meditation can be a very personal experience for highly sensitive people.
- 8:06But meditation is not always the same for everyone.
- 8:09You do not have to sit on a pillow and stare at the clouds to actually get the benefits of meditation.
- 8:15Personally, I meditate while walking or while exercising at the gym.
- 8:20Meditation allows you to look inwards and observe your emotions from a distance.
- 8:24Providing much needed relief.
- 8:26When you pick up someone else's energies, observing your emotions from a distance is a great way to stop the pendulum prod and release yourself from other people's stress.
- 8:38Breathe deeply and imagine all the negative feelings leaving your body and replace.
- 8:43Place those dark thoughts with clarity and positivity.
- 8:46Number five, protect your space.
- 8:49Life on the outside world can be tough.
- 8:52Heck life in the world of the internet can be tough.
- 8:55We easily become vulnerable to the mix of emotions as we Jostle through crowds, and we can be easily overwhelmed by the many different pendulums vying for energy and attention.
- 9:06Once you get home, it might not be any better.
- 9:09You might be living with a lot of people.
- 9:11You can't avoid being bombarded by emotions.
- 9:14If you're someone struggling to find peace, the first step is to create a quiet, comfortable and calming space for yourself where you can recharge.
- 9:24Fill your space with art plants and calming scents so your energy can recuperate.
- 9:30It doesn't have to be a bedroom.
- 9:32Either your safe space can easily be a bathroom or a closet.
- 9:37Just make sure it's somewhere.
- 9:38You have time alone and stay away from the chaos of your phone, that television or other people.
- 9:44I really like how these two books talk about protecting your space.
- 9:49That is a Psycho-Cybernetics.
- 9:51And the book Innercise and I'll have links to those in the show notes and description.
- 9:56Number six use humor.
- 9:59Humor is one of the quickest and best ways to stop a pendulum sway.
- 10:03Think about it for a moment in the above example of the sporting event, how could we use humor to release the pendulum prod?
- 10:10We could laugh at how silly we are behaving at an event we personally have no control over.
- 10:17We could also laugh at how excited we got over the victorious score and how quickly that changed in a heartbeat.
- 10:24Once you really understand how a pendulum operates in your life, you can use humor often.
- 10:29Laugh at how silly you must look to an alien who has no understanding of the game whatsoever.
- 10:36Think about that for a moment.
- 10:37A mental diet.
- 10:38And mental diet is a habit of refusing to entertain any negative thoughts and mental diet is one of the best life strategies you have to combat.
- 10:48Attracting other people's negative energies.
- 10:50As soon as you notice inner thoughts telling us negative story, you immediately release them like a regular diet, mental diets require discipline and attention, and they're best done in short stints, which can help you to quick start into a new way of thinking as a lifestyle.
- 11:10While it is very simple.
- 11:12It can also be quite challenging.
- 11:14In fact, most teachers tell us that if you encounter difficulty, you are doing it right.
- 11:20However it is also recommended that if it gets too overwhelming, just stop and try again a few weeks later.
- 11:29I have a mental diet resource guide at www.kathieowen.com/mentaldiet.
- 11:38I'll have a link in the show notes and the description for that.
- 11:41A mental diet is the best way that I know to identify negative thinking patterns.
- 11:46Notice I said, identify, this does not mean repressing them or suppressing them.
- 11:53Once you identify them, you can rewrite them using the pruning shears of revision that Neville Goddard teaches.
- 11:59Number eight monitor your self-talk.
- 12:03We are not spared from the critical inner voice that makes catty remarks inside our heads.
- 12:08As an entrepreneur, we run the risk.
- 12:10We will continuously criticize ourselves.
- 12:13You know that overzealous imposter syndrome sets in You're only a single person in this great big world.
- 12:20The best way to fight these negative voices is to practice.
- 12:24Self-compassion.
- 12:25Become constantly aware if and when you are suffering, so you can acknowledge how you feel and respond appropriately.
- 12:33Cultivate self-forgiveness no one is perfect and we really need to know that that's okay.
- 12:39Number nine, repeat mantras to yourself.
- 12:43Mantras are positive and affirmations can help us navigate away from negativity and back to a more centered place.
- 12:51Some examples of mantras could be:return to sender or I release any emotion that isn't mine.
- 12:59It's better to not use a negative statement.
- 13:02Like I don't feel anyone's emotions.
- 13:05You can also say something like I am focused on my emotions and I am setting aside.
- 13:11Everyone else's.
- 13:13Affirmations can be a part of your meditation or they can be used when you slip into someone's negative feelings.
- 13:21Number 10, let go of expectations.
- 13:24Expectations are a funny thing we expect to win.
- 13:27We expect to succeed.
- 13:29We expect to get that family member to act in a certain way, but life is not fair and bad things happen.
- 13:35When we reduce expectations, things shift.
- 13:39Notice, I did not say totally released them.
- 13:42Why?
- 13:43Because expectations are important.
- 13:46We must expect certain things along this journey.
- 13:49We are not yet at the destination.
- 13:51To enjoy the journey.
- 13:53As much as the destination, we must realize that some expectations are not going to be met.
- 13:59Let it go and pick up from where you left off and enjoy the journey.
- 14:03Number 11, identify what drains you.
- 14:06Not all pendulums are bad.
- 14:07Remember how I said the gal who works at CNN is constructively motivated by the news.
- 14:13And I am destructively motivated by the news.
- 14:16Well, when you identify which pendulums hurt you.
- 14:19It makes it so much easier to stop absorbing other people's feelings and emotions.
- 14:25When you catch yourself paying attention to a destructive pendulum, you walk away, observe it with humor.
- 14:32Or step into your protective zone for a moment.
- 14:36Many times this is all that is needed to stop the pendulum sway and return to your true feelings and your true power.
- 14:43Number 12 find a healthy way to release emotions.
- 14:47Healing takes place in the mind, the body and the soul.
- 14:51The mind needs to process emotions rationally.
- 14:54It needs to understand.
- 14:56Journaling is an excellent way to release emotions in the mind.
- 15:00The entire body process of emotions physically.
- 15:04If we do not release emotions, physically, we may endure physical symptoms of pain and physical discomfort.
- 15:10Exercise punching a pillow or just taking a quick walk around the block are great ways to process emotions physically Another thing i enjoy doing for a physical cleanse is Epson salt baths This helps you release toxins and is a handy form of protection from other people's energy and pendulums And as for the soul it is all about connecting with your solar plexus your envelope of white light And or your higher being.
- 15:40Take some time alone to process these emotions meditate and find your inner light And know that there are infinite solutions to every problem And unresolved issues So the 12 simple steps are set clear and healthy boundaries.
- 15:57Ground yourself in nature.
- 15:59Number three practice mindfulness.
- 16:02Number four meditate.
- 16:04Number five protect your space.
- 16:07Number six use humor.
- 16:09Number seven a mental diet.
- 16:11Number eight monitor yourself talk.
- 16:14Number nine repeat mantras to yourself.Number 10, let go of expectations.
- 16:20Number 11, identify what drains you.And number 12, find a healthy way to release emotions So in conclusion the next time you feel toxic energy from another person's emotions ask yourself is this a destructive pendulum stealing my energy Am i wasting a lot of time on this stressful situation?
- 16:41Create strong connections with constructive pendulums create your own system to help you find the important things in life.
- 16:50Perhaps you need a mental diet or to exercise to meditate or even watch a funny movie.These types of emotional boundaries will serve to protect you the next time you feel yourself absorbing other people's energy.
- 17:04I hope this helps thank you for spending part of your day with me if you know someone who could benefit from this please share it with them and I hope you have a great day and until next time i'll see you next time peace out And Namaste.
