SIGNS YOU ABSORB OTHERS’ ENERGY
Your mood shifts without a clear reason.
You need solitude to feel like yourself again.
Crowded spaces leave you feeling drained or overwhelmed.
You sense tension before anything is said.
You feel responsible for how others feel.
You struggle to separate your emotions from theirs.
If this feels familiar, you’re not “too sensitive” you’re energetically aware.
From a Reiki perspective, you may be naturally open and receptive, meaning your energy field picks up on what’s around you. Without boundaries or grounding, this can lead to emotional overwhelm, fatigue, and confusion.
But this is something you can learn to manage and protect.
DO:
Regularly ground yourself stand barefoot, sit quietly, or focus on your breath to bring your energy back into your body
Check in with yourself throughout the day: “Is this feeling mine?”
Create energetic boundaries by visualising a protective light or shield around you
Take breaks from busy or overwhelming environments without guilt
Prioritise alone time to reset and rebalance your energy
Practice saying no when something feels too much for you
Cleanse your energy daily (through Reiki, water, fresh air, or quiet time)
Stay connected to your body — tension, heaviness, or fatigue are signals to pause
Surround yourself with people who feel calm, safe, and supportive
DON’T:
Take responsibility for other people’s emotions or reactions
Ignore your need for rest or solitude
Stay in environments that consistently drain your energy
Overanalyse every feeling without checking if it’s yours
Feel guilty for needing space or boundaries
Absorb negativity without releasing it
Push yourself to “cope” in situations that overwhelm you
Lose your sense of self by constantly tuning into others
Dismiss your sensitivity it is a strength when managed well
REIKI TIPS FOR ENERGY PROTECTION & BALANCE:
Place your hands on your heart or solar plexus and take slow, deep breaths to bring your energy back to centre
Visualise Reiki energy flowing through you, clearing anything that isn’t yours
Imagine roots growing from your feet into the ground, grounding and stabilising your energy
After being around others, gently “brush off” your aura with your hands to release excess energy
Set a daily intention: “Only energy that is for my highest good may stay”
Use self-Reiki regularly to strengthen your energy field and create natural protection
Your sensitivity is not a weakness.
It is awareness.
When you learn to protect and care for your energy, it becomes your strength not your burden.
