Love it or hate it, what’s been happening in the US is having a ripple effect worldwide. Those ripples are causing people to feel anxious, fearful, and angry. On the scale of energy vibration, it’s all at the lower end, and for those of us who are working hard to raise not only our personal level of vibration but also the vibration of humanity as a whole, it’s challenging. When someone spends more of their time resonating with worry, fear, and anger, they will then attract more of that energy to them. This is basic knowledge of energy like attracts like. It’s hard enough not to allow that kind of energy to affect our thoughts, feelings, and actions. It can poison everything we do.

If you are an empath, it’s a hundred times worse. Empaths absorb energy. They can take on the energy, thoughts, and feelings of others without realizing it. It can be challenging for empaths to distinguish their own feelings from those they may be picking up from someone else. They can also pick up the energy from several people at once. If they happen to be walking by a group of people who are anxious about something, an empath will pick up on everything from that group. It’s often why empaths often get headaches, feel physical pain when they don’t usually, or feel exhausted or overwhelmed. They are processing a lot of energy, and none of it belongs to them.

Empaths need to be more mindful of their surroundings. Again, whether you’re happy with the current state of affairs or not,it’s in your best interest to pay attention to the energy around you. We need to become more aware of the energy around us and actively work to keep our energy field clear, maintaining as high a vibration as possible.

If you are an empath, work on discernment. Try to figure out what is yours and what is not. If you have difficulties with that, consider using an energy shield to protect your energy. It can act like a filter, keeping out anything that is not in your best interest while letting in everything that is for your highest good.
