Have you ever had a conversation with someone and walked away feeling completely drained, like you needed a three-hour nap just to recover?
Or maybe you walked into a room and instantly felt a heaviness in your body, a knot in your stomach, or an energy that did not feel like your own.
If so, you are not imagining it.
And you are definitely not crazy.
In fact, it might be time to start prioritizing protecting your energy.
What you may be experiencing is energy leaks.
In this episode, I’m sharing the three biggest signs that your energy is leaking, how to recognize when you are carrying energy that does not belong to you, and simple techniques you can use to clear, protect, and reclaim your energy.
The first sign that you have an energy leak is what I call an emotional hangover.
This is when you feel exhausted, drained, or emotionally heavy after a conversation with someone.
That person could be a friend.
A family member.
A coworker.
A colleague.
Anyone, really.
When you find yourself carrying that emotional weight long after the interaction is over, it is often a sign that you have absorbed energy that does not belong to you.
You may be feeling their stress, their emotions, or their unresolved challenges as if they are your own.
But it is not your responsibility to carry someone else’s energy.
Your responsibility is to focus on protecting your energy and clearing what doesn’t belong to you.
One of the simplest ways to do this is by cutting energetic cords.
Imagine that person standing in front of you.
Visualize the energetic cords connecting you.
Then gently cut those cords.
You can imagine using scissors, a blade, or any tool that feels aligned for you.
You can also use sage or sacred smoke as part of the process.
The intention is simple.
Their energy belongs to them.
Your energy belongs to you.
By doing this, you take a powerful stance in protecting your energy.
And you are releasing any unhealthy energetic attachments between the two of you.
The second sign of energy leakage is what I call the sponge effect.
This happens when you suddenly feel anxious, overwhelmed, tired, chaotic, nervous, or emotionally off for no apparent reason.
One moment you feel fine.
The next moment, you feel completely different.
When this happens, it is often because you are absorbing energy from the people around you or from the collective energy field itself.
You may be picking up emotions from friends, family members, coworkers, your children, or even the environment you are in.
If there is no obvious reason for the feeling, pause and ask yourself one simple question:
“Is this mine?”
If the answer is no, it is time to release it.
You can send that energy back to its source.
Or, if that feels more comfortable, you can offer it back to God, Source, Creation, the Universe, or whatever resonates with you.
Remember, returning energy is not harmful.
Every person is responsible for their own emotional healing and growth.
You are not helping someone by carrying their emotions for them.
You are only creating an unnecessary burden for yourself.
After releasing the energy, imagine your entire body being filled with love, light, and healing energy.
See it flowing through every cell.
Allow it to purify anything that does not belong to you.
You are not meant to be a sponge.
You are meant to be fully present in your own energy, and protecting your energy allows you to do exactly that.
Take a moment and ask yourself:
What is your biggest energy drain right now?
Is it a person?
A place?
A situation?
Be honest with yourself.
Because you deserve to take up space in your own energy field without carrying anyone else’s baggage.
The third sign of energy leaks often shows up physically.
It can feel like unexplained tension in your body.
A stiff neck.
Heavy shoulders.
Mental fog.
Or difficulty concentrating even after getting enough rest.
When this happens, pay attention.
Because if you do not clear the energy, your mind will often create stories around it.
You may start trying to solve problems that are not actually yours to solve.
One of my favorite ways to clear this is through grounding.
It is simple and incredibly effective.
Take ten conscious breaths.
With each breath, imagine your feet rooting deeper and deeper into the Earth.
Feel yourself connecting to Gaia.
Feel yourself connecting to the support of the Earth beneath you.
As you breathe, release the tension.
Release the brain fog.
Release anything that is not yours to carry.
Allow yourself to root into love, stability, and support.
When you practice these intentional ways to ground yourself spiritually, you realize you do not have to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders.
As above, so below.
You do not have to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders.
As promised, here is a simple 10-second morning ritual to help seal and strengthen your auric field.
Imagine a beautiful golden bubble standing directly in front of you.
Step into that golden sphere.
Take one, two, or three conscious breaths.
As you breathe, imagine the golden light surrounding you completely.
Above you.
Below you.
In front of you.
Behind you.
All around you.
Allow this golden sphere to become a protective cocoon for your energy.
You can also imagine roots extending into the Earth for additional grounding and support.
The beauty of these practices is that you can use them anytime during the day.
You do not have to wait until you feel overwhelmed.
The more consistently you clear and protect your energy, the easier it becomes to stay centered in yourself.
Remember, you are responsible for your own healing and evolution.
You are not responsible for carrying someone else’s emotions, lessons, or life experiences.
Your energy is sacred.
Protect it.
Honor it.
And allow yourself to take up space in your own field.
So I would love to know:
Which of these signs have you been experiencing the most?
And which technique feels the most supportive for you to begin using today?

Have you ever had a conversation with someone and immediately walked away feeling like you needed to take a 3-hour nap? Or better yet, have you ever gotten into a room, walked into a place, and you instantly have like a knot in your stomach or a heavy energy? You are not tired. You are definitely not crazy. This is when you have an energy leakage.
And today we’re going to talk about the 3 signs of when your energy is being leaked and how to stop it.
Sign number 1 that you have an energy leakage is when you feel exhausted and tired after after a conversation with someone. That someone can be a friend, a family member, a colleague, a coworker. And this is really important to understand if you are having an emotional hangover, because oftentimes when we have conversations with someone else and we have this feeling, that tells me that there’s this energy that’s being absorbed into your field and you’re feeling into their junk. It’s not your responsibility to hold on to their junk. Your responsibility is to cut their junk.
So sign number 1 is an emotional hangover. When this sign is occurring, what I want you to do is imagine that person in front of you, even if it’s after the fact, and you cut the cords. You’re gonna imagine there’s energetic cords between you and that person, and you’re gonna cut them. That way their energy can be theirs, your energy can be yours, and you’re no longer connected through that energetic cord. You can imagine cutting it with the scissors.
You can imagine cutting it with blade or a knife. You can also use sage and smoke to cut these energetic cords as well. Sign number 2, the sponge effect. This is when you all of a sudden, out of no reason, you feel anxious, you feel nervous, you feel tired, you feel chaotic, you feel overwhelmed. You can just fill in the blank on how you might be feeling.
And what’s happening is, is you’re absorbing the energy of the collective in that space that you’re in, or you’re absorbing your friends, family members, colleagues, co-workers, even your children’s energy. You want to definitely send it back to the sender, or you can send it back to God, creation, universe. I definitely feel that it’s important that we are not bypassing anything. And so when we send it back to sender, you might feel a little guilty, like, I don’t want that person to feel that way. And at course, if you want to send it just back to creation, God, if that makes you feel better, so allows you to start this practice, you can do that.
However, it’s their responsibility to honor their emotions and feel those emotions. If they don’t have the opportunity to feel those emotions, they’re going to at some point in their life. And so know that even though you’re not sending it back to them, at some point they’re going to feel that emotion. With this particular one, all you’re going to do is ask yourself Is this mine? No.
Great. I’m gonna send it back to whoever this belongs to. I’m gonna send it back to the collective energy. I’m gonna send it back to the universe. I want you to imagine that you’re just being filled with love and water and light, and it’s just pouring out of your body.
And whatever that energy is, whatever those emotions are, whatever that noise is, it’s just being purified with that beautiful energy of love and light. It’s not your responsibility to hold on to this. And sign number 2, just to remind you, is the sponge effect. You are not meant to be a sponge. You are not meant to hold on to other people’s junk.
You are to fill up your own container with your own stuff. I want you to pause right now with me and let me know what is your biggest energy drain. Is it work? Is it a certain person? Because you deserve to actually occupy your own space.
You deserve to be your own energy, and it is not your responsibility to hold on to anyone else. Comment below and let me know what is your biggest energy drain and are you excited to let that go and take up your own space? Sign number 3 is the most physical and I’m going to get right to it, but please stick around because I’m going to share my 10-second morning ritual so these drains don’t happen for you throughout the day. So let’s jump into sign number 3. Sign number 3 is unexplained physical tension and brain fog.
That might show up as like a stiff neck Or like you’re just have this brain fog and don’t even understand why. This is really important to pay attention to because it will create a story if you don’t clear it. And you’re going to be trying to tackle a problem that’s actually not yours to tackle if you just end up clearing it. And this is where I love the technique for clearing this because you get grounded into Gaia and it’s really, really simple. You just take 10 conscious breaths and with those 10 conscious breaths, imagine your feet sinking deeper and deeper and deeper into the earth where you’re grounding and rooting.
And with every single breath you take, you’re letting go of that tension. You’re letting go of that brain fog. You’re letting go of what is not yours to hold on to, and you’re rooting and grounding into love so Mother Earth, Gaia, creation, God, universe can support you as above and so below. As promised, here’s the 10-second morning ritual to seal your auric field. You’re gonna imagine there is a golden bubble in front of you and you’re going to step into it and you’re going to just take 1, 2, or 3 conscious breaths.
And when you’re breathing with it, that golden sphere is going to create a protection around your auric field. And that’s, that’s simple. You can imagine also rooting into the earth to create some more of the grounding. You can do any of these clearing rituals at any point in time during the day. You are responsible for yourself.
You are responsible for your evolution. You are not responsible for someone else’s junk, someone else’s emotions, and someone else’s evolution. You are responsible for you. So comment below which one of these signs have been draining you the most and which technique feels the most grounding to you to do. All right, my friends, I look forward to seeing you in the next one.
