    I need guidance on how to best protect myself from other’s negative energy. I’ve always been an empath and feel physically and emotionally depleted (even days after) when I encounter “vampire” coworkers who suck the life out of me.

    I experience this daily as the GM for a fast growing start-up, and I need to learn better coping mechanisms. I can’t avoid the issue because it’s the CEO & President (i’m their “right hand man”) and although I love my job, it’s very intense most days.

    Any advice is much appreciated!

    I carry small stones or crystals with me to help protect myself and my energy. I usual pick one that feels good in my hand so I can rub it or hold it when I need to recenter myself. I find black tourmaline, obsidian, quartz, lepidolite and amethyst to all be particularly helpful protection for empaths!

    Hi!

    I use a Chakra Veil. It’s a string of black beads, one for every chakra, topped with a translucent crystal stone.

    My friend was given a message to create one too but their’s is a colored bead for corresponding chakra with a black bead at both the end and beginning, topped with a translucent bead.

    As I type this, I feel liek I saw a very clear crystal with lot’s of angles and sides. Maybe that’ll be a good stone for you – to deflect their energy while keepin gyours cleansed. <3

    Honestly I think that we feel things because they help us read between the lines, so what is going un-said here that needs to be recognized? What boundaries do you need to put in place for yourself to maintain your own composure around this? How can you best manage the work life balance? Is this work still something that is worth the energy it takes out of you and if so, what’s the best way to make it work for you instead of you working for it?

    I don’t go with the traditional “self protection” stuff that people have talked about in the past around “energy vampires” – instead, I think recognizing your own sensitivity, feelings and boundaries will help you to figure out how to make your experience around these people better.

    What boundaries of yours are they currently crossing? What do you want to say no to that you currently say yes to? What are you worried the reaction will be if you do start to put in place systems that sustain your own energy better?

    A bit of stress helps to motivate us but a lot of it is incredibly draining. Mix that up with other peoples stress and it’s quite a concoction. I think what you are getting at is that you are empathetic and you pick up on other peoples energy with more sensitivity than most – managing that is about recognizing this and being conscious of how you can make life feel better for you. Ask your inner self to show you what needs to change, what needs to be implemented and how you can do so. You might feel like making a list of things you can change right now, things you can work on in the future or you might see some examples of situations in your mind where someone or yourself did something differently that made life feel better…

    E.g. I will take my lunch breaks out of the office and go somewhere completely alone where i can shut my eyes and put plugs in my ears and recharge. OR I will work from home X amount of days a week so I can honor my introvert tendencies. OR I will exercise hard before I start work for the day because it clears my head and I manage other humans crap better. OR I will eat differently or go decaf instead of caffeine or reduce sugar because these things help my own disposition which helps me to remain neutral to other people’s buzzing energy fields.

    We can’t change other people unfortunately so it’s either that we make changes and other people have to adjust to us, or we continue to endure and tolerate… A bit of both works wonders. Maybe it’s your inner self telling you that you might be ready to take on a new job? That’s an extreme and not always the case but if you are feeling it’s not what you expected or it doesn’t make you happy like you thought it would, you don’t have to stay there anymore. 🙂

    Hope this helps to give an alternative perspective!

    I envision myself surrounded by a brilliant white light. I also spray myself with watered down Florida Water every day.

    Hey girl I have the same problem I realize that negative energy is extremely contagious and I’m extremely sensitive to it I am trying to figure out how to turn my positive high vibrational energy to overpower the negative and help heal people that way take it and turn it good I haven’t figured out how but I know that’s the whole point of me being what I am I guess maybe it’s just being strong minded keeping a barrier being aware that it’s there , but not letting it in. Then flip it and reverse it maybe there’s a way we’re supposed to filter it? When you figure it out let me know please I’m new at this too

    Envision and take the time to be grounded. Then, place mirrors to reflect their energy away from you… energetically and in your office if possible. Sage spay also.
