Episode 6: Protecting Your Energy · Just Be True ~ A Soul-Led Podcast

0:14
Hi, welcome beautiful souls to another episode
0:17
of Just Be True, a soul -led podcast. I am Summer
0:21
and I am grateful that you are here today. So
0:26
this podcast was born from a deep desire to live
0:29
authentically, to strip away the masks, the expectations,
0:33
and the old stories, and to remember who we truly
0:36
are. Each episode, we'll explore what it means
0:39
to live in harmony with your soul's truth through
0:43
real conversations, intuitive guidance, and powerful
0:47
moments of reflection. ever felt like a little
0:57
overwhelmed lately maybe the world feels extra
1:02
loud emotions are running high or you've even
1:06
noticed yourself picking up on other people's
1:10
moods this episode is for you so today we're
1:15
going to talk about protecting your energy what
1:18
that really means why it's important right now
1:21
and a few simple ways that you can stay clear
1:24
grounded and aligned with your light i mean let's
1:30
face it we're constantly exchanging energy through
1:34
conversations text messages emails social media
1:40
all of that is an energy exchange and if we're
1:44
not mindful we end up carrying what isn't ours
1:50
So today we're going to walk through how to keep
1:54
your energy clear, strong, and peaceful. No matter
1:59
what's going on around you. Right? Because, you
2:04
know, your energy is important. And energy
2:10
it never stops. Energy continues. It continues
2:14
moving and continues flowing. Only thing that
2:17
happens to it is that it changes. So energy can
2:20
change, but it never stops. It's a continuation
2:23
of. So before we dive in, let's take a moment
2:30
just to notice your own energy right now. So
2:35
how does your body feel? Are you holding tension?
2:41
Are you holding tension like in your jaw, in
2:45
your neck, maybe your shoulders? So noticing
2:51
these things is the first part of your energy
2:55
protection. It's the first act. It's the act
2:58
of becoming aware. So, protecting
3:05
your energy isn't about putting up walls between
3:08
you and everybody else in the world. It's about
3:11
honoring your own frequency. So when we protect
3:14
our energy, what we're really saying is I choose
3:18
peace. I choose alignment and I choose me. And
3:25
that is so powerful. Think about how you feel
3:30
after being around someone who's angry or anxious.
3:34
It's like your whole body tightens up. That's
3:38
because energy transfers. We're empathetic beings,
3:43
so we feel everything. Not only that, some people
3:49
are going to feel more than others because they
3:51
are empathic, right? Or how about times when
3:58
you've walked into a room and you instantly feel
4:02
heavy or tense and nobody's even said a word?
4:06
Like we've all heard the saying is you could
4:08
cut the tension with a knife, right? That's the
4:11
energy that's sitting in that room and that's
4:14
your... body your energetic body sensing what's
4:19
unseen this is why grounding and clearing is
4:23
so powerful but i will say there will be times
4:29
to where it may feel like regardless of what
4:33
you're doing is not helping and that's when we
4:36
need to take some additional steps and truly
4:39
be with ourselves and redirect our energy starting
4:46
from internally and pushing it outward. And I'll
4:50
get to more to that in a moment. So energy protection
4:56
is really an act of self -love. It's how we keep
5:00
our inner world calm so we can show up for the
5:03
outer world with strength and compassion. So
5:07
the first thing you can do is you can start with
5:10
grounding. So when your energy is scattered all
5:14
about, grounding brings it back to center. So
5:19
you can do this at any time and we can even try
5:22
it right now. It doesn't matter if you're driving
5:25
or if you're sitting or if you're walking or
5:28
whatever you're doing, activity you're doing,
5:31
you can do this right now. So the only thing
5:35
you do is just take a deep breath in and imagine
5:38
yourself inhaling. light relaxation, and exhaling
5:45
any tension or stress that you may have. You
5:49
can do this a couple of times if you need to.
5:52
Breathing in light and love, exhaling anxiety,
5:59
stress, and worry. Now imagine roots extending
6:07
from your feet deep. deep down into the earth
6:11
and feel that connection with mother earth that
6:16
steady supportive and nurturing you might even
6:22
say softly to yourself i am safe i am supported
6:29
i am grounded i like to imagine the earth gently
6:37
absorbing any stress, worry, or excess energy
6:40
that I have when I do this. It kind of adds a
6:44
little extra flavor or connection to that. You
6:49
can also hold grounding crystals when you do
6:52
this. So there's a smoky quartz, there's black
6:55
tourmaline. I like snowflake obsidian, which
6:59
I have here. And then black tourmaline, I have
7:03
them handy as well. So you can hold those
7:07
and envision this grounding technique. Or you
7:11
can go outside. You can go outside and touch
7:15
a tree. Stand barefooted on the ground. And let
7:20
that be nature's reset button for you. To be
7:23
able to ground and be at one with all. The next
7:32
step is surrounding yourself with light. I mean,
7:35
literally envision yourself surrounded with light.
7:38
Imagine a soft, radiant, white or golden light
7:42
pouring over you, wrapping you in divine, unconditional
7:48
love. This light isn't rigid. It flows. It allows
7:56
in only what aligns with love. And reflects back
8:00
anything that doesn't. And you can visualize
8:05
this before walking into work. Before going into
8:09
an event with a lot of people. Or even if you
8:13
have like a meeting you have to go into. And
8:15
you know that it could be difficult conversations.
8:18
Having this light around you. Or even after scrolling
8:22
through social media. Or after having challenging
8:26
conversations with individuals. If you can't
8:31
visualize, so visualization is not something
8:35
everyone can do. So if you can't visualize, feel
8:44
the energy of the light. So in other words, you're
8:50
going to imagine the feeling of the energy sweeping.
8:59
From your crown chakra just above your head.
9:03
All the way down your body. To your feet and
9:07
to the earth. And feel it. Just feel it. Just
9:12
allow that feeling to drop down over you. And
9:17
hug you up. Right? With unconditional love. And
9:22
if you can step into that feeling. If you can't
9:25
visualize. You can step into that feeling. It's
9:29
all about your imagination and bringing your
9:31
imagination to life. I've said several times,
9:37
and I'll say it again and probably many more
9:39
times, that your subconscious mind does not know
9:44
the difference between your imagination and reality.
9:48
So for your subconscious mind, whatever you imagine
9:52
is reality. that white light protection is reality
9:58
to your subconscious that imaginary feeling that
10:03
you're draping around you is reality to your
10:06
subconscious so you know keeping that in mind
10:12
i also like to do like a quick affirmation with
10:17
my grounding technique techniques i'll say something
10:20
like Only energy aligned with love and truth
10:24
can enter my field. All else is reflected back
10:28
in peace. I'll say that again. Only energy aligned
10:35
with love and truth may enter my field. All else
10:40
is reflected back in peace. That's just a quick
10:46
affirmation that you can do while you're grounding
10:49
yourself. You can even set an intent as when
10:53
you say that affirmation, the grounding happens
10:57
right at the same time. So if you set an intention
11:01
with the affirmation, like from now on, when
11:06
I say this affirmation, my grounding is taking
11:10
place. And whatever your grounding is, the white
11:13
light, the energy, field, whatever it is. combination
11:17
of both the white light and the energy field
11:20
whatever it is both of those are taking place
11:22
as you're saying your affirmation and that's
11:27
a great way to do it you can renew this light
11:32
any time of the day as quick as gentle as powerful
11:36
and you can use it as many times as you need
11:39
to right and i will say there will be times when
11:44
you probably feel like you need to use it more
11:46
than others I had a moment even this week where
11:54
the week that I'm recording this, I had a very
11:57
challenging day with my own energy and my own
12:02
emotions. And I will, you know, I'm not perfect.
12:08
I have challenging days just like everybody else.
12:12
And so I think what's important is how you respond
12:16
during those times. And so I had an event that
12:22
night that this was happening, and I ended up
12:25
canceling the event because I couldn't show up
12:28
in the space that I was in. And being in the
12:33
space, not only did I choose me and take a loving
12:37
care of myself, but I also protected those who
12:42
would have been around me. Because, again, energy
12:47
is ever -flowing. And I was not in a positive
12:52
space. And so others could have felt that energy
12:56
and it wouldn't have been right for me to push
12:59
that energy out on them. So I canceled my event.
13:04
I came home and I got into the tub. But before
13:09
I got into the tub, I put some eucalyptus. In
13:15
there for the aromatherapy. And I got into the
13:19
tub. Hot water. And just soaked. And just relaxed.
13:25
And allowed. That water to heal my energy. And
13:31
to wash away. That energy. That was kind of like.
13:38
Starting to nestle itself. Within my own energetic
13:41
field. To be healed and left free. So, like,
13:46
it may be that you have to do something more
13:48
powerful, whether it's soaking in a tub with
13:51
some essential oils to help release that, such
13:55
as eucalyptus, lavender, or rosemary. Like, I
14:00
love all of those. Or it may just be taking a
14:03
nice hot shower just to imagine the shower water
14:07
being that white golden rays of light just washing
14:12
over you and cleansing your energy field. All
14:15
of those are very helpful. So there's not just
14:19
one perfect way of doing things. And doing things,
14:22
your grounding techniques and your clearing techniques
14:26
may have to be different depending on the situation
14:29
that you're dealing with at the moment. So I
14:35
will say like throughout our day, we naturally
14:37
pick up energy from others through conversations,
14:40
emails, even thoughts. Our thoughts have energy.
14:45
And by the end of the day, it's good to clear
14:47
your field with that. So in the evenings, if
14:51
you can find a quiet place to sit down and close
14:55
your eyes, take a deep breath and release it.
15:02
And then say, I now return all energy that is
15:06
not mine back to its source with love. And then
15:13
I do this imagining this energy coming out of
15:19
me and this energy going into this tunnel. And
15:23
this tunnel is filled with layers of healing
15:26
and unconditional love. And it's sent back to
15:29
the originator of that energy. It's not up for
15:33
me to determine who that energy belongs to. It's
15:37
not even up to me to determine how that energy
15:40
got to me. Only thing is my responsibility is
15:44
to return it back to the source from which it
15:47
came, healed and with love. I don't even determine
15:53
how it's healed or how it's loved. I just imagine
15:57
that this tunnel that I'm sending it through
15:59
is doing the magic itself for whatever is needed
16:04
for that particular person that it has to go
16:06
back to. So it's not up to us to determine how
16:12
something happens. Just the intent that the end
16:18
result or the purpose of it, you know, is set
16:21
there. I will also call back my energy. So once
16:31
I release the energy from others, I will call
16:35
back my own energy. For my energy to be returned
16:39
to me. Cleansed, healed and whole. And again
16:44
I imagine my energy going through that loving
16:47
healing tunnel. And bringing back to me. And
16:54
so I will say this little warning about doing
16:57
that. Is you may not want to do it too close
17:00
to bedtime. When I do it. I feel more energized
17:07
and it can make it difficult for me to fall asleep
17:12
right away. So I do it earlier in the evening
17:15
versus waiting until it's time for me to go to
17:18
bed. So you may want to see what timing wise
17:23
what works best for you. I just know laying in
17:28
bed doing it does not work for me because I end
17:30
up laying there for like an hour in my mind just
17:32
do -do -do -do -do -do -do and I can't. i can't
17:36
stop that mind because that energy is coming
17:38
back and and i have all these amazing ideas and
17:42
thoughts running through my head and so i need
17:44
to do it earlier in the evening so i'm not so
17:47
disruptive and so i can get my sleep um you can
17:53
also visualize like golden ribbons of light returning
17:56
to your heart as you're calling your energy back
18:00
and so this can help you feel lighter And like
18:04
your spirit just came home, right? Like pieces
18:07
of you just came back home to nestle and to make
18:12
you whole again. So I love that. Visualizing
18:16
golden ribbons. I really love that. So some great
18:23
supportive tools to help with protecting your
18:28
energy and clearing your energy. So I already
18:32
talked about the tourmaline and the black obsidian
18:35
and the smoke crystals, smoke quartz. You can
18:39
also use sage and selenite. Those are two of
18:43
my favorite. I also like paleo santos. I love
18:50
the smell of it and I even use it as an incense
18:53
here in the house. I also have smudge spray that
18:58
I use and I make my own. and so um not only do
19:03
i put like sage and and paleo santos but i'll
19:07
put like an essential oil that i love and rosemary
19:10
is my go -to or eucalyptus and i'll just i'll
19:15
just shake it up and i'll just spray it and just
19:20
just the aroma of that just gives you an instant
19:25
cleansing of the senses i just love it So that's
19:31
a great way. You can also use it as a smudge
19:33
stick if that's your thing. Or even, like I said
19:39
earlier, the incense. If you want to fill your
19:41
home with it. That's a great way to use it too.
19:46
Sage is like an energetic broom. It clears what
19:51
is no longer serves us. So if you want to burn
19:55
a little, you know, be careful with it. But it's
19:58
just a great way just to cleanse and just sweep
20:01
the energy and cleanse the energy. I also like
20:06
selenite. I have selenite in my office on either
20:10
side of my door. And I also have a piece of selenite
20:14
that I keep in my purse. So if I go into a space
20:18
and when I come out, I just feel kind of yucky,
20:21
I will just... rub the selenite around me. Sometimes
20:25
even just rub it up and down my arms. But I'll
20:28
rub it within my energy field to clear it out.
20:32
So not only does selenite clear the energy, it
20:35
helps elevate the energy as well. It refills
20:39
your space with light. Right? So a light, loving,
20:44
caring energy. So you can get a selenite bowl
20:50
and set it next to your bedside. or keep on your
20:53
altar to keep the field bright and clear if that's
20:58
something that you're into i'm just together
21:01
if you want to use sage and selenite together
21:04
they remind us that every clearing is also an
21:08
invitation to refill ourselves with new light
21:11
new peace and new possibilities so as a reminder
21:18
there's a just a few quick daily practices that
21:22
you can put into your daily routine. You can
21:26
take a few deep grounding breaths throughout
21:29
the day when needed. You can visualize that white
21:33
light or imagine that white light energy flowing
21:38
through your energetic field. Clearing and calling
21:43
back your energy in the evening. And keeping
21:48
a crystal nearby that can help with grounding
21:52
and clearing your energy such as the tourmaline,
21:56
black obsidian, smoky quartz, selenite. And also
22:02
we just mentioned the sage sprays or smudging
22:06
is a great place for support. as a closing reflection.
22:19
Let's just take a deep breath in. And exhale.
22:28
Notice how your body feels now from when we first
22:31
started. Is it lighter? Softer? You may even
22:37
feel clearer. As you move through this next week,
22:42
be mindful of what you give your attention to.
22:46
Choose conversations that lift you up, music
22:49
that inspires you, and moments that bring you
22:52
back to your heart. If you find yourself in a
23:02
space where your energy is challenged for that
23:06
day, I encourage you to take time for some self
23:13
-love. and some self -care. Take time to spend
23:20
the evening soaking in a tub, taking a hot shower,
23:24
getting lost in your favorite book, or meditating.
23:30
These are all great ways to help clear and reground
23:34
yourself, you know, and support your own energy.
23:40
If you're in a bad space, It is okay to cancel
23:46
whatever plans you have. I mean, as the event
23:51
that I spoke about earlier, it's like I had to
23:54
cancel my plans because me taking the energy
24:00
that I had that day and sitting in front of other
24:04
people and feeding that energy out to them would
24:08
have damaged them just as much as it was damaging
24:11
me. And so not only did I take the time to give
24:14
myself self -love and care, but I also protected
24:17
others from being caught up in that same energy.
24:22
If you had the flu, you would do the same thing.
24:26
You would stay at home and take care of yourself
24:28
and heal instead of going out and being around
24:32
others and giving them the virus. So protecting
24:36
your energy is just as important, if not even
24:39
more so. So know that it's okay to cancel plans
24:46
if you're not in that right space, emotional,
24:53
mental space. If you're not in that right space,
24:55
it's okay to cancel plans until you are. You're
25:01
taking care of yourself, which is absolutely
25:04
important, but you're also protecting others
25:06
from being caught up in that same energy. And
25:10
protecting your energy doesn't separate you from
25:12
the world. It allows you to show up in it more
25:15
fully and more true to yourself. And when you
25:19
do that, your light becomes contagious. Your
25:24
light is what people want to be around. So give
25:29
your permission. Give yourself permission to
25:32
take care of you 100%. Mentally, emotionally,
25:38
energetically, physically, whatever that shows
25:42
up for you. Give yourself permission to love
25:46
you enough to take care of you 100%. You're worth
25:52
it. You absolutely deserve it. We all do. So
26:01
