Are You a Psychic Sponge?

By Donna Stellhorn

Are you feeling more stress than usual, more fear and depression? Not surprising with all that's going on in the world and how the media keeps bombarding us with the message over and over. But a lot of what you're feeling may not be yours. As a person who is spiritually connected, and if you're reading this then you are, you have the gift (and burden) of empathy, the ability to sense and feel the pain of others. When you combine what others are going through with what you yourself are trying to tackle you can have much more stress than usual.

Time to release these feelings. Salt works wonders for clearing energy. Sea salts, or specially blended clearing salts (such as Lavender Salt) are the best. Table salt contains chemicals are not useful for clearing. You can add a handful to the bath or if your shower person like me put a few teaspoons in a washcloth and let the water pass through onto your shoulders, neck and chest. (Himalayan Salt, which is a mined salt as opposed one that comes from the sea, also works well)

Prepare yourself before seeing any group or being in a crowd. Picture a protective Auric Field around you, make it shiny like a mirror so the negative energy of the others just bounces right off.

If you have a fireplace light a nice fire and sit on the hearth. There, write your feelings on small pieces of paper and toss them into the fire. As the smoke rises feel these feelings rise and leave your body.

As spiritual being remember you have power. You don't need to be swept away by the emotions and fears of others. Negative energy will pass, you are eternal.
