Shield Your Energy during the Holidays

Today’s message is from the Inner Child Cards by Isha Lerner. The World. The calendar really is winding down now. Over the last few months, you have worked hard to find more inner peace in your life. You have come to terms with problems that might take some time to work out and you are okay with it. You are on a good path. Having said that … the holidays are looming and that often means family time. No one knows how to pick you apart and tear you down like your family.

You are probably not going to be able to avoid some family time this Christmas, so let’s talk about shielding your energy. There are a couple of ways you can do this, and it really works. If you are consistent about shielding yourself during the holiday festivities, you will stay more grounded, you aren’t going to be as prone to stress eating and/or drinking, and you are going to find that people don’t pick on you as much. Here are a couple of methods you might want to try.

1. Pray for help. This is the fastest, easiest, and most efficient. I keep it very simple. I just say, “Jesus, protect me,” then I go about my business. In the evenings, or after any difficult encounters, I ask God to lift the burden of other people’s energy off me. Try it, it works.

2. If you are not a religious person, some visualization can really help you. Picture yourself inside a bubble. Remember the soap bubbles when we were kids? Imagine you are inside an iridescent bubble and nothing harmful can penetrate it. If you use this method, you are going to find that people who usually try to start trouble will either ignore you, or they will get confused when they attempt to craft an insult. This will not keep the good people away; it will magnify anything positive and dispel anything toxic. Try it; it works.

3. Make yourself invisible. This is easier than you think and it is especially effective if you have to go to a big party and you are dreading it. Most of us have some form of social anxiety. Just say out loud, I am invisible. That’s it. Test it out at the office or at your favorite pub before you have to debut it at Christmas dinner. The jerks will walk right by you like you’re not there. The invisibility trick won’t keep people from finding you who are actually looking for you, but it will prevent anyone else from bothering you. Try it; it works. But please make yourself VISIBLE again before you get back on the roads. Sometimes this works too well and other cars might not see you. I know you probably think I am crazy right now, but you will stop laughing at me once you test out the invisibility method.

Whatever you have to deal with today, and throughout the festivities of this holiday season, protect your inner child. He or she is really counting on you. God bless you and have a great day –
