This past week was a tough one for me. I felt heavy and dark, as though filled with toxic lead. My thoughts were negative, one bad thought following another. I criticized myself for harboring such negative energy and contaminating my environment–and everything and everyone around me.
The negativity was merciless. I found myself thinking, “This is ridiculous, I am a failure and a fraud for not changing my thoughts. After all, I just co-authored a book on transforming negative energy.” Vicious thoughts, and they just kept coming.
Negative energy can create a sort of haze around our problem solving abilities. We either can’t see or don’t remember that there are resources we can use to help us change direction. There is The Pulse (we have the link right here on our website), for example, which is quick and easy to use. My own brain was so encased in fog that I never even considered trying it!
The most basic idea of all, though, was the one that ended up turning things around for me. The idea worked its way into my consciousness toward the end of the week: “This negative energy may not even be mine!” That was it! It made total sense!
I asked God and my spirit guides to take any energy that was not mine and give it back to the spirit guides of the person or people to whom it belonged. Then I asked my Spirit Guides to bring back to me all the positive energy that was mine, so that my own energy would be renewed. Within one hour, I began to feel lighter. I started to see beyond myself, to notice the good and the positive in my world. My thoughts changed course and all that negativity was simply gone.
It’s easy to take on other people’s energy in an effort to help them. We don’t always know that we are doing it. If you find yourself carrying dense, heavy energy, try to remember that the burden you are carrying may not be yours. Ask your spirit guides to give back any energy that is not yours, and to return to you the positive energy that is yours. It’s a simple step that can turn things around and restore you to positive balance.
