How Do We Feel Safe When Our Energy Is Attacked?

A few days ago, I was at work minding my own business and a co-worker came to me and said, “if you swing your arms at me again, one more time, I’m gonna report you… I’m gonna report you.” Those words have been echoing in my head since then. I must have said those words to myself over hundred times, replaying that moment — no joke.

I didn’t understand why he made such a “threat?” I really was clueless to what he was speaking — and it took a few seconds to understand what he said and why he said it.

The truth of the matter is… I like to naturally gesture my right hand upwards towards my chest. When I move fast, my arms wants to move and not be contained. So, I may have gotten too close to some people, not on purpose, but because the space was tight.

And I had no realization that my arms were swinging as that person said. To me, I was just walking back and forth and doing my job.

Then… I think they thought I was intentionally getting into their space — and I wasn’t. So, I felt the energy shift from a calm state to a uneasy state, like my energy had been sucked away.

I stopped working for two minutes and I went up to them and said, “I’m sorry if my arms got too close to you, it was not intentional, it’s a habit.” I just labeled it as a habit in the moment for them to understand it was not of ill-intent.

Then they said to me, “you keep swinging your arms” as to make point I did something wrong to them. And yes, I apologized for getting close.

They fist bump me — I like to think that was us settling the air. Then I said to them, “I just wanted to make sure we are good.” And they replied, “we are always good.” And they fist bump me a second time — the seal that says this is now closed, we can breathe still again.

I wish them the best. I send them love. I send them peace. I send them more love. But those words has made me feel emotional. It made me re-enter that moment over and over.

But here’s the thing, I don’t need to re-enter it. I just need to acknowledge it and let the echo fade away until it’s a soft misty cloud.

So how do we feel safe in moments where our energy is drained?

We send them love! Love you say, Elina? Yes, LOVE ❤️! We reclaim our energy by attuning ourselves back into heart coherence.

Say this with me (while massaging your heart):
I am not their energy.
I am not their fear.
Their energy is not mine to hold.
I send them love.
I send them love.
I send them love.
I am still whole.
I am protected.
I am secure.
I am safe.
I am supported.
I am divinely protected.
I am love.
I am love.
I am love.
I am safe.
I am safe.
I am safe.
And I am free.
I am free.
I am free.

Woohoo! Do this when the energy feels constricted, when you feel heavy, when you feel like you just got sapped. Send them love! If you see them again, send them love and create a golden bubble around you. Imagine that golden bubble of light expanding outwards — let it protect you and shield you from unwanted energy.

One last attunement

Breathe in for a count of 4, hold for 4, exhale for 4, and hold for 4 seconds.
Do this 4 times, then…

Say this with me:
Their energy was never mine to hold.
I release what’s no longer mine.
I will only breathe love.
I am only love.
I am love.
I am safe.
I am free.

How do you feel now? Does that make you feel good? Do you feel better?
