Top 3 Secrets to Keeping Your Energy and Not Being Completely Drained – Euro Trip Lessons from Other Energy Aware Beings

Why is it that some people tend to attract great energy while others don’t do so well?

I’m able to answer that question better thanks to my experience touring Europe the past month. I got to tour France, England and Spain throughout for most of June. This trip was an eye opener for me.  It has given me many new perspectives. There is so much wealth out there: from material things to richness of energy.

I was fortunate enough to meet some great individuals who were able to maintain their energy and share their secrets. Although they didn’t identify themselves as empaths, the characteristics they exhibited seemed to indicate they were (sensitive to food and environment, sensing others energies, and drained by others if they didn’t take care).

Here are some of their secrets…

Stacy in England was able to maintain her energy and stay grounded by first starting all her days religiously doing yoga. That helped her ground her energy, emotion, and mind in her body. Besides this crucial step for her, she also kept artwork, stones, and tools that constantly cleans her home. As I walked around her beautiful house, located in a small little sweet town, I noticed she kept buddha statues, paintings that seem to emit a blessing energy, and stones and pendants to continuously cleans her place.

Of course, she also practices healthy eating habits so that helps a lot. And her two adorable little dogs were a nice addition to helping keep the place light and happy. Honestly if all of us empathic individuals can live like Stacy, adopting her devoted habits of taking care of herself, we can definitely stay more grounded and energized throughout our days.

Then we met Emelda from Spain and Daniel from London at  Ashram center in Glastonbury, England. We explained how it was a challenge for us to constantly absorb others unwanted energies and emotions. Both of them shared they also lived in places that are also psychically heavy. They believed that since they were able to learn how to sustain their energy in such a places, they could pretty much function almost anywhere. When asked what they practice to keep their energy at such a high vibration, they shared that both practice Qi-Gong and Reiki and it has made all the difference for them.

We were curious how they had so much energy even though both did energy work for a living? Both of them explained that they don’t use their own energy. They tap into the divine source and the energy flows from there to not only energizes them but also their clients.

Amazing! Right?

Daniel went further to explain that he also uses crystal. And his place is completely filled with them and they help him stay energized.

So I asked him, if someone like him didn’t know anything and is constantly being drained by others energy and their environment, what would his one tip for them?

Daniel responded with a smile, “Reiki….and Qi-Gong. Those are my absolute two favorite and must do it.”

There you have it. The answers from three very knowledgible energy aware individuals who are able to stay in charge, energized, grounded, and connected to abundant source energy. This has made all the difference on which way their day goes.

Which practice is right for you?

I invite you to check out yoga, reiki, or qi-gong (I have) and see which one energizes you the most.

6 Quick Daily Care Tips for Empaths and Highly Sensitive People

Are you the #1 Priority on Your List?

It’s crucial we make our health and well-being our number one priority. Why? Because many of us are busy taking care of others needs first while completely ignoring our own needs. If this becomes a habit, it’s easy to start feeling resentful (even towards the people we love). We can feel like no one truly appreciates us after giving and giving till there was nothing left for us to give.

When we are feeling great and in our optimal state of well-being, things flow easily. Giving become more effortless. Time sort of flies by. Many individuals can tap into this state of being when they are doing what they enjoy.

When you give after taking time off for yourself, you can give from a place of abundance and love.  Others can feel the difference.

Many empaths and highly sensitive people feel selfish when they take time off to take care of themselves. This is cause for concern because we are wired different than the average Joe. If we don’t take care of ourselves, we can’t effectively do what we’re here to do…but we’re not exactly wired to take care of ourselves first.

Yes, we are called towards tasks that require priority attention over our own needs but as an empath or highly sensitive person (HSP) it is vitally important we continue to take care of ourselves each and every day so we can contribute to the world as we are called.

6 Quick Daily Care Tips for Empaths and Highly Sensitive People:

1. Drink lots of clean pure water to hydrate your body and keep it functioning at its optimal. Water cleanses and purifies your body giving you sharp mental clarity. Trust me, you’ll be a happier person with a well hydrated body.

2. Exercise regularly. Taking care of your physical body. Get moving. This helps you move out old energy and bring in fresh new energy. Like water, movement is extremely vital for your well-being.

3. Eat healthy nutritious meals. Consume plenty of dark green leafy lettuce and vegetables. Note: Many empaths and HSPs find eating things that are grown closely to or below ground to be very grounding for them. Some examples are potatoes, yams, carrots, peanuts, squashes, pumpkins, and broccoli. And also some find eating red meat to be grounding for them. Overall, just eat well balanced meals throughout the day.

4. Feel your emotions. Process them as they come up. Don’t just shove it down and bury it. When you do, you actually become more and more numb and disconnected… And it’s not always easy to feel your feelings but do it anyway. These energy in your body needs to be move and transformed. I promise, you’ll feel better, lighter, and cleaner afterward.

5. Talk with positive individuals. Just immerse yourself in their positive energy by being in proximity or enjoying a nice conversation. This also does wonders –for we humans are social creatures.

6. Get some fresh air and sunshine. You can’t elevate your mood as easily when you are stuck inside a building. You are a living breathing creature who needs to be connected to nature –not hidden inside some concrete building with artificial light and air. So go outside. Breathe. And bask in the warm sunshine.
