Energetic Hygiene: Pulling Your Power Back to You

This past year, I learned something that changed everything:

if you don’t do your own energetic hygiene, someone else’s energy will do it for you.

Not on purpose, of course. Most of the time, people don’t even realize they’re leaking—or siphoning.

But before I knew how to tell the difference between my energy and someone else’s, I was constantly absorbing feelings, doubts, fears, and projections that didn’t belong to me. I just didn’t know it.

They felt like mine.
They sounded like my inner voice.

But they weren’t.

When your energetic boundaries are soft or wide open—especially for empaths or spiritually sensitive beings—you can become a living mirror for other people’s unconscious wounding.

Without realizing it, you may find yourself carrying shame that isn’t yours.
Questioning yourself in ways that don’t match your actual self-perception.
Feeling drained, confused, or emotionally turbulent without any clear cause.

It wasn’t until I trained two apprentices in my blended healing modality that this really clicked for me. In teaching them how to identify and strengthen their own fields, I became acutely aware of how unprotected mine had been.

The more I pulled my power back—clearing, sealing, and maintaining my field—the more clarity I gained. And the more obvious it became just how many cords had been tugging at my energy.

The wildest thing?

When I finally did the cleanup work, some relationships simply… evaporated.
Friendships that had once felt magnetic suddenly fell apart.

Some in a dramatic rupture, some just a quiet unraveling.

I have no judgment around it, but I do find it fascinating.

This isn’t the kind of boundary work we often talk about.

It’s not emotional, verbal, or even physical.
It’s spiritual.
Invisible.
Energetic.

And yet, it’s foundational.

Today, I feel clear. Clean. Sovereign.

The voice in my head is mine.
The feelings I’m processing are mine.
My field is mine.

And that subtle but essential difference—the ability to discern “is this mine?”—has become one of the most empowering skills I’ve ever developed.

In sovereign power,
Sharon
