As an empath, I’ve had to learn how to connect to my own needs and emotions and clear my energy on a daily basis. Do you know the feeling of being disconnected from your own needs or desires especially in group dynamics? Have you ever suddenly felt overwhelmed, anxious or “off” after interacting with other people? If so, this could be a sign that as an empath, you might be tuning into the emotional needs and experiences of others more than your own. Taking a moment to clear your energy can help you reset, reconnect to yourself, and brush away emotional clutter that you may have accidentally picked up. In this article I will share 8 awesome practices that will support you to clear your energy and help you to feel more self-connected, rejuvenated and empowered in your life.

1) Smudge

Burning dried Sage, Sweetgrass, Cedar, or Palo Santo is a powerful indigenous practice that has been used for thousands of years for clearing energy. Gently allow the smoke to surround you, using your hand or a large feather to brush it through the air onto your body.

2) Create Your Sacred Container & Claim your Space

Visualize that you have a sphere of light surrounding you. This light represents your energy field, which protects and nurtures you. Only the energies that are in your highest good as well as the energies that you invite are allowed inside. Take a moment to tap into this field of light and claim your space.

3) Touch the Earth

Placing your hands and/or feet onto the soil of the earth or into flowing water is a way to connect to the clear most natural energy of the planet. We come from this earth and are designed to connect with her often. Taking time to touch the earth and be with the elements is a very helpful way to reset and reconnect to your own energy.

4) Move Your Body

When we move our body, we also move our emotional energy. If you are feeling stuck, lethargic, icky, or stagnant muster up the will power to move your body. This can look like putting on some music and dancing wildly, stretching, shaking and moving your hips, or going for a run etc.

5) Courageously Feel the Feels

Dropping into your body and feeling your emotions is not always the most fun thing to do…life is not always sparkles and rainbows of joy and unicorns…Yet the more we choose to feel, the easier it gets and the more free, clear, present and empowered we become. Create a sacred container where you feel safe, supported and held. This might look like using a visualization exercises, stepping into nature, or getting support from a loving guide. In this sacred space, notice what emotion may be asking for your loving attention. You can set a timer or simply know that at any point you can press the imaginary “Pause Button”. Take your time as you courageously choose to feel.

6) Make Sound

Create a safe space where you can freely make sound. Tune into your breath and body. Notice emotions or sensations that want your attention. Open your mouth and allow sound to move through you. It doesn’t have to sound pretty. As a matter of fact, may it sound as weird, scary, loud or awkward as it needs to sound in order to be Free.

7) Keep a Tangible Reminder of Clear Energy & Protection

Keep something tangible that represents “clearing” and “protection” near you throughout the day. This might look like a special ring, stone, necklace or bracelet that help you realign with your sovereign and clear energetic field. Carry this sacred object with you and connect to it any time you need.

8) Receive support

Sometimes we just need some extra support. The truth is, we can’t do this life alone. Reaching out to a loving guide who can help you navigate the mountains and valleys of your life is a great way to reset your energy and gain clarity of mind, body, spirit and emotion.
