Are you Spongey?
By Kimberley Jones
Q: Does spending time with certain people leave you drained & irritable for no apparent reason?
Q: Are there places you avoid because they leave you tired or overwhelmed?
Q: Does reading a newspaper or watching the news leave you feeling unwell?
Q: Do you leave social events feeling exhausted or emotional?
If you answered ‘Yes’ then it may be that you are a bit ‘spongey’.
Some people give off lots of emotional energy; I see it & sense it every day. Each emotion has a different colour. This energy if it resonates with your own emotional energy storage will cause you to feel similar feelings. What I also see is that some people actually absorb the emotional energy of others like a sponge.
When a person doesn’t know how to process their anger, fear or jealousy it builds up creating mental/physical imbalance occasionally spewing out at whoever happens to be nearby. Others simply vent freely without thinking.
Taking on the emotional energy of others can affect you in all sorts of ways. If you feel tired or aching all the time this could be one of the main reasons. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia several years ago & nothing I tried seemed to help. After one session of healing & energy cleansing I started to feel better. A simple muscle test will demonstrate how so-called ‘negative’ thoughts & emotions get stored in the body & weaken the muscles.
Until everyone masters their energetic & emotional processing it is necessary for sensitive people to learn some important additional skills, just like using stabilisers when learning to ride a bike or using an umbrella when it rains, it is a sensible precaution.
TIPS FOR SPONGES
• Notice what you feel before during & after encounters with certain people. (Maybe you always come home angry from Aunty Mable’s having been totally fine before).
• Relax & breathe. When you hold your breath you become more spongey as it creates an energetic vacuum. So breathe, breathe, breathe!
• Remove yourself from the situation or take a break.
• Understand that few people are spreading their emotional energy around on purpose & they mean no harm. Most people are completely unaware of how their venting affects others.
• Find a healthy way of expressing & releasing emotional energy regularly.
• Cleanse your energy fields & those of your home regularly.
• Top-up your energy fields with healing, meditation, having fun, loving thoughts, beautiful music, inspiring movies & lots of loving hugs!
