ENERGETIC HYGIENE : WHAT IS IT? HOW DO I DO IT? WHY DOES IT MATTER?
If you’re about to penetrate someone’s field, or they’re penetrating your’s, put on an energetic condom so you don’t catch anything nasty.
If only that wasn’t a joke.
Therapists and people in the “healing arts” know what it’s like to do a full day of therapeutic work only to feel dense or heavy at the end of it, unmotivated to do much else afterward. It’s not just because they’re tired from talking; but the energy they’re sitting in all day.
You know when you meet some people and feel heavy around them? That usually means they are holding responsibility for the energies of others, or holding expectations around how people need to treat them - another form of holding responsibility, but in reverse.
The short version; their energetic hygiene is in need of some help.
For most folks, the heaviness is a reflection of carrying energy in the field that hasn’t been moved in the way it’s designed to move. Common themes include holding one’s own emotional energy, someone else’s projected expectations that weren’t let go, or even the weight of responsibility for others who aren’t taking care of themselves. It’s a whole topic.
How do we hold this energy? A belief that we need to and an emotionally charged moment or series of moments thinking about that energy.
Thankfully, we can protect, take care of, and maintain energetic hygiene in a number of ways.
Ongoing and lasting energetic cleanliness is an expression of our daily habits and how we treat ourselves subconsciously. If we are in a good place, we’ll typically radiate an attractive energy. Clear, focused, unlabored by the expectations of others, open to opportunities, open to connect with others on a similar vibe.
If you beat up on yourself a lot, your energy will probably read as heavy to a sensitive person. If you bypass your own pain as a survival strategy, your energy may feel like there’s something disingenuous about you. More commonly, if you are lax with prioritizing self-care, and keeping your body physically clean, you can guess how that reflects in energetic hygiene too. You remember that kid from the Snoopy cartoon?
Sometimes, it’s your energy that ‘smells’.
Immediate shifts in cleanliness can be actioned with numerous methods. They’re detailed in a PDF I’ve prepared for you, when you sign up for my mailing list.
The more areas of cleansing that we address, the ‘lighter’ and more connected we tend to feel. You might observe that energetic cleanliness is somewhat linked to connection. If we were to extrapolate electric / plumbing / circuit logic mish mash into energetic cleanliness, the energetic dirt and noise can act like a resistor to energetic flow.
Most people experience low energetic hygiene symptoms through racing thoughts, feeling fragmented, ungrounded or unlike themselves. To clear that symptom, cleansing, clearing and grounding into the body is a must.
As an aside, grounding is especially essential if sounds disturb your inner peace more than usual.
Symptoms of a need to cleanse can be categorized as follows:
Mental - Challenges in thought patterns. Either negative or confident pattern cycles.
Physical - Experiences like pleasant vibration, pain, stagnation or discomfort.
Environmental - Unclean dishes, or a messy room but not the kind where you know where your things are.
Emotional - Feeling heavily depressed, disassociated, disconnected to self.
Spiritual - Is something in your field draining you? Are you in a house with heavy areas you can’t stay in for too long without experiencing great discomfort?
Energetic - Are you feeling like you need to sleep for several days?
Bear in mind most energetic hygiene issues will blend a few of these categories.
The challenge for us humans is that we don’t always know the root cause of a noisy system without receiving outside reflection or deep emotional presence.
