I’ve learned recently that I’m much more prone to energies and energy fields than I had been in the past and for a sensitive person, this can sometimes be a difficult thing to ‘handle’, so to speak.
I walked into my office this morning, and immediately, felt like something was ‘off’. Something in me didn’t feel OK being there in that moment. I felt a little nervous, a little unstable, and a little shakey. I thought about leaving, but then again, it is my office, so I decided to stay.
Instead of leaving, I took a step back in my awareness and just simply noticed. I stayed there, in my seat, and breathed. I centered myself in the place of discomfort. I stayed there, not running from my uncomfortable experience, but instead, allowing for it to happen just as it is.
Sometimes this same scenario happens when I’m around certain people or inside someone’s house and the energy just doesn’t feel quite OK. It might feel a bit cold or harsh even. Instead of creating this story in my mind about why I’m uncomfortable, I just take a moment and almost like a camera lens, I zoom out — just a little bit.
And so instead of making this whole production, this whole melodrama in my mind about who or what needs to leave the space to make it all OK, I can just notice and pay attention and be with the discomfort as it rises, and slowly passes.
