How to Stop Absorbing Other People’s Energy- Solution from Spiritual Perspective
Being sensitive to people’s energy is something that so many of us are experiencing. You know that feeling when you walk inside the room and you feel something is wrong. All of the sudden, negative emotion takes over you and you just want to leave the room. People who are sensitive on other’s energy are called intuitive people or sensitive people. The more conscious you become, the more you will experience this problem, or better to call it challenge. I don’t believe there is any problems in our life, only challenges we need to learn from.
Preventing to absorb other people’s negative energy, or better called, protecting ourself from energy vampires is very important for our well being and also spiritual path. I was doing a research on this topic, also reading lot of Indian literature, and I would like to share with you Steemians deeper understanding behind that. Moreover, you will be able to transcend this challenge.
How to deal with other people’s energy?
There is one thing we need to understand first. I will explain it through situation that all of us must have had in our life. Just remember, you are sitting in a room next to someone, and person starts some conversation or asking some questions. In the same time you have that inner feeling “Ooo my God, I don’t like this person’s energy! I don’t want to be part of this conversation!” Now, take a step back and try to observe what have you experienced there. What is actually happening in this situation? Did you ever ask yourself what is the thing that you don’t like in other person? Why are you being annoyed by that? The reason you are being annoyed by it is because you are seeing a reflection of something which is going on inside of you which you are not willing to look at or accept.
The moment I have heard about this for the first time, my mind was blown away. That made me realize, all what is happening outside of us is actually our inner reflection. Moreover, I realized that I need to take full responsibility for my own well being. There is no conflict between me and someone else. There is only conflict inside of me.
The outer world that we are seeing is always reflection of inner space we carry. That drama that is going on between you and another person, is actually drama happening inside of you, which resonates exactly with that person’s energy. The fact is you are not willing to look at it, as you don’t want to “be there”. Result of that is suppression of it. You are not looking into that inner space of yours, inner conflict. However, life is so compassionate and magnificent and shows you that inner conflict of yours in the real life world.
Others are draining our energy or something else is going on?
What we experience is our energy being drained by others IS NOT our energy being drained by conflict between us and others. The energy is drained because we are having a conflict inside ourselves. The only thing that takes our energy away is when we are not INTEGRATED WHOLE. So many of us are existing as different parts within ourselves which are incomplete. If we are able to integrate those parts, complete them, and become one whole, our energy will become so high. Only then we will be integrated and directed to our life purpose.
When you transcend and realize that you should see other people that you don’t like, as actually, unknown part of you. If you think you will solve your “problem” by walking away from those kind of people, you are so naive and you don’t understand your nature of your being. You can never walk away from your unsolved challenges, as they stay inside you. Be sure, the same conflict will come. You invite those “bad” people into your life with your energy. The same attracts the same. If you can see from higher perspective, those people are helping you. How? By realizing what incompletions you have inside. Work that needs to be done is from INSIDE.
Soon after, you will let go the role of being VICTIM. There cannot be energy vampires around you if you are complete and maintain yourself on high vibration. All those people are actually gifts from life to help you in self realization. When you are able to shift the feeling of blaming and anger towards others into feeling GRATEFUL for having them in your life, you will know, by your heart, you are rising and making yourself more complete. You need those people to grow. If life wouldn’t not show you your incompletions, you would walk around and live with it, but not evolving, always feeling miserable and blaming the world. Hence, spiritual growth wouldn’t be possible.
Life is showing you where you are not aligned with the source. Feel gratitude for that. There is no real problem. Everything is projection from the inside. Use the tool that life is providing to erase your inner conflict. When you manage to do that, life will become more beautiful for you. When inner conflict goes away, outer conflict will go too. Be sure in that! You will vibrate on higher frequency and attract the same frequency people. For that reason, spiritual teachers are saying happiness and peace can happen only inside of all of us.
We are all work in progress. Be blissful.

It is so easy for one negative person to bring down the positive vibe of many. We are human and it is in our nature to react to the emotions and feelings of others. What is always eye-opening is how the negative aura can be more impactful than someone's positivity sometimes. We should all be aware of how our mood and actions can affect others.
Thank you for you feed back.
I am not so sure that negative aura can affect that much real positive one. The case is, if you don't create strong positive aura around you, negative auras can impact you so easily. Like disease, it can overtake only if immune system is low and we cannot tell that our immune system is low in the situation till virus is not around, as we think we are fine. So many that impact of negative auras is actually a sign our aura is not so positive as we think so. :)
That's very interesting, what you wrote about conflict with others really being a conflict with parts of yourself. Because it's so true - when I get annoyed with someone or feel like they are behaving badly to me, all it's actually based on is my perception of them in that moment, and not necessarily the reality. We are all these isolated little minds and it can be so hard to truly share an experience or feeling with someone else, because they can never see from any other perspective than the one inside their mind.
So true! Thank you for your insight @lazarus-wist. :)
