Introduction
Have you ever walked into a room feeling perfectly fine, only to walk out feeling heavy, anxious, or suddenly emotional?
That energy might not have been yours to begin with.
We are energetic beings, sensitive, absorbing, and interacting with the vibrations around us all day long. Yet most of us were never taught how to protect our energy, let alone clear it when something feels off.
In this blog, we’ll explore how to recognize what’s not yours, how to clear it, and how to create energetic boundaries that support your peace, presence, and sovereignty.
Your body knows the truth
At your core, you have an intuitive compass that senses when something is out of alignment.
That discomfort in your chest?
The wave of fatigue after a conversation?
Your energy field is picking up on signals - even if your mind hasn’t caught up yet.
That sense of unease isn’t random - it’s communication from your inner guidance. And when you learn to listen, you begin to reclaim what’s yours and release what isn’t.
Why you might be carrying energy that’s not yours
We often carry the emotional and energetic weight of others without realizing it. Their moods, fears, expectations ~ even their unconscious patterns ~ can cling to our field.
This can create overwhelm, confusion, or a vague sense of being "off." Reconnecting with your own energy helps you move from reaction to response, from chaos to clarity.
When you know what’s yours, your nervous system relaxes. You feel more rooted, more discerning, and more like yourself.
How energy gets in
Energy is exchanged all the time, especially if you're sensitive or empathetic. Some common sources of energetic overload include:
Emotionally charged spaces: Crowds, arguments, or tension can leave behind energetic residue.
Conversations and connections: Every interaction holds an energetic exchange, some heavier than others.
Digital input: What you consume on social media, the news, or even music can imprint on your field.
The key is becoming aware. Not every mood, thought, or feeling belongs to you.
Daily tools to clear and protect
Here are some easy practices to help you come back to center and reclaim your energy:
Grounding: Visualize roots growing from your feet into the earth. Feel your body settle into the present moment.
Energetic Check-In: When a sudden emotion hits, pause and ask, “Is this mine?” That question alone can shift everything.
Clear Your Field: Imagine fog or static lifting from your body and dissolving into light. Say, “Anything that’s not mine, I now release.”
Call in Protection: Visualize a golden shield or bubble of light around you. Ask your guides or higher self to reinforce your boundaries.
Use Anchors: Carry grounding crystals like black tourmaline or smoky quartz. Burn palo santo or use sound to shift the energy.
Speak Your Intention: Say aloud, “I call my energy back,” or “Only love and light may enter my space.” Words are powerful tools for energetic direction.
These practices aren’t about being perfect - they’re about being present.
Strengthening intuitive awareness
As you release what isn’t yours, your own inner voice becomes clearer. You start to feel subtle shifts before they become overwhelm. You begin to trust your inner cues.
Listen to what your body is telling you. Follow the nudge to leave a space, end a conversation, or create quiet time.
This is how intuitive strength is built, through everyday moments of awareness.

Let your truth lead
When you clear what doesn’t belong, you make space for your truth. That clarity leads to aligned choices and stronger boundaries.
You stop doubting yourself and start living from your essence, not other people’s expectations or energy.
That’s real sovereignty: not shrinking or shielding, but holding your light steady, no matter what’s happening around you.
When doubt creeps in
It’s normal to wonder if this energy stuff is “real.” But the truth lives in your experience.
Try it. Feel what shifts. Notice how your body responds.
Start with one small step. And know that support is available. There are others who live this way too. You’re not alone in learning how to hold your energy with intention.
Conclusion
You don’t have to keep carrying energy that’s not yours.
You don’t have to live in overwhelm, fatigue, or confusion.
You can return to yourself, gently, intentionally, and powerfully.
