Have you been feeling off balanced and not focused.  One of the reasons can be the shifts in energy that are happening on the earth plane.   Our earth plane is going through dramatic shifts of energy and not all positive, just read the newspaper.   It is important for us to stay centered, clear and focus at this time.

The following are some very basic tools to do this.  Yes, it can only be basic and you will feel the power effects it can have for you.

Are you questioning your path and purpose?  Feeling off centered or out of balanced?  Lack of faith and hope?  

It is possible that your crown chakra may be blocked.  First thing you will need to do is open the crown chakra.   Imagine that on top of your head is a small saucer plate.  The kind that you use for underneath tea cups.   Bring both of your hands on top of your head with fingers of each hand touching together.  Now pull your hands apart as if you were opening a circle on top of your head (only the size of the saucer plate).   In about a minute you should experience the warmth coming in and around you. The warmth energy is chi energy flowing in freely.  The crown chakra is the entrance point of the chi energy - our life force energy.   You may even feel warmth in the palms of your hands.  The palms of your hands are chi exit channels of positive energy - healing energy.  Also, you may feel tingling or sensation in the bottoms of your feet.  The bottom of the feet are another chi exit channel but it releases negative energy to flow out.   Some other benefit affects would be;
feeling focused, calm, peace, less or no more aches and pains in the physical and a feeling of an all over well being experience.

Then you will need to heal and release what is blocking within this chakra.  

Have you been feeling over emotional, out of balance, lack of focus?  Have you been in an environment or with others that had a lot of negative energy? Or just felt you can not release any negative energy?

Grounding your energies into the earth is the best thing for this.  It only takes a few minutes and the benefits are wonderful.  This practice has been used for ages.  Remember the old saying when some one was upset or frustrated?   'Go hug a tree'  That is another form of grounding your energy. On my web page on grounding is an audio and written out on grounding your energies.   I recommend this to my Reiki students and healing clients for a length of period after the session.  Because it will assist in the healing and clearing process.   There is another saying 'Someone that stays grounded is less likely to be affected by negative energy on this plane or others'.  When you stay grounded you are centered and there is an awareness within you.  You are able to perceive energy more - the positive and negative.  Who would want to be around negative?

Try doing this everyday, if its a week, two weeks or even a month.  Let me know how it assist you and any differences that you felt.

Do you feel like you are picking up on too much energy or emotions from others?  Feeling of overwhelming emotions?  Or you feel that you are a sponge for negative energy?

When we perceive emotions and energy from others it is all part of an ability that is known as clairsentance. Some may even refer to it as being a psychic sponge or even empathy.  At times if the gift is strong the person can not tell if its their emotions or others that they are experiencing.  Or do not even connect that it could be someone else's emotions or feelings that they are perceiving.  

We also need to keep our energy and ourself protected at all times.   So that we do not get affected by negative energy.  There are two ways to do this.

One is using the bubble of light protection.   On my web page explains this and it also has an audio for you to listen to about doing it.

The other way is protecting your energy centers also known as the chakra system.   It is important to protect the centers when we are not using them.  Meaning to be only open when we are meditating, healing or doing intuitive or psychic things.  Otherwise you can be overwhelmed with negative energy and not connected to the present just to name a few things.  By doing this you will also feel that focus and centered feeling. I do have a web page that will explain and walk you through opening and closing the chakra.

Also, there is another thing that you can do to clear your energy and even your home is smudging.   It is a very powerful tool to remove negative energy.  View my web page on smudging / sagging.  There is also two audios for you to listen to.  One is smudging your self and the other is smudging your home.
