Reading this tonight has been unbelievably helpful. Either I have some food poisoning or it's energetic but I have been in pain for a bit now. It became severe earlier and made me weep but I knew I needed to distract myself and to breath and reading all these tips has calmed me down and my stomach. It was actually gurgling but as I breath and try these exercises I feel the pain becoming more manageable.
I also have horrible neighbors who scream all the time, and especially at their two year old. I have befriended him and try to give him as much positive interaction as I can. It is triggering for me and has been going on for a long time now. I will try the mirrors.
I am trying to just remain calm and expectant for better health. I do feel drained by all this negativity, and I also realize it reminds me of the past when we all were so negative. I am feeling if I can be more protective of myself, these negative energies may bounce right off me into space, and I also am filling my thoughts with happier memories, and forgiving myself. I need to change my own energy BIG TIME.

I hope this works for you!
Intent is very, very important, though. You will need to clearly visualize the neighbors' energy being reflected by the mirrors. (And keep your emotions out of the visualization because you don't want to be sending *your* anger and frustration at the neighbors. They should just get their own back.)
Do a little visualization meditation with the mirrors when you set them up, then again a couple times a day until the function becomes established.
@Frank! Thank you! That is a great visual. I appreciate the need to feel the vacuum.
Which way do you envision the light entering, bottom to top or top to bottom?
I visualize the light entering from all sides following the "dirt" as it moves out... essentially from bottom to top ?

Because of the effect it has on us, our instinctual reaction to this energy is to block it off and keep it away. However, I personally have found that energy shields don't often last or work the way we hope because of their inherent nature. By raising a shield we are creating a stagnant energy body. Not only does other stagnant energy tend to "stick" to it but it also stifles our own flow and thus impedes us from dissipating the lower energy. Since energy can be neither created nor destroyed, only changed, the best way to deal with lower energy is to flush it out of our system and send it back into the universe where it can be transformed.
...
I just want to clarify that I didn't mean to imply that it is impossible to keep lower energy from mixing with your own, only that a static barrier type of shield often fails to do the job. Rather than visualizing a bubble, dome or wall type of shield think more in terms of an actively flowing type of "barrier." For example, try surrounding your self with a whirlpool of energy that whisks the incoming energy up and out into the universe or, alternatively, a cylinder of cascading energy that sends it deep into mother earth to be recycled. Hope this helps. ❤️

I've used a one-way barrier from time to time. Sort of like a reverse-osmosis membrane- The bad goes out and only the good stuff can come in. Curious as to what your opinion is on that?
The culprit- acid reflux.
I heard this twice this week from two different sources, "Other people's opinion of me is none of my business"
When I hear something twice, I know it's meant for me. Hope it's useful. Didn't understand it until recently. It is another way to look at protecting ones self.
Thanks to everyone who gave excellent advice on how to protect and lift up your energy. I was experiencing a lot of the same physical problems many of you described. I will try some of the methods that were suggested. Already I feel better for having read all this. I am so grateful for this group pumping me up when I feel deflated by current events.
HI Everyone, Such amazing wonderful posts here and a lot to absorb. Let's keep going with how we are doing with these techniques. I loved each post. I tried @frank's concept of acknowledging the negativity and clearing it out and releasing it to the universe. I tried it a few times today while swimming laps, but it takes practice to get something strongly in my imagination. I will try more.
I have a technique I like that cleanses the body by sending light into each chakra, one at a time. I like to do it standing up in qi-gong fashion and use my hands to move the energy through my body.
It's called Chakra Cleansing:
You visualize a ball of light on the top of your head. Then in your mind you lift that ball and move it out in front of your forehead and using your palms facing towards you, you bring the ball towards your forehead (third eye chakra), saying, "I am the soul." I usually take a deep breath as it is going into the chakra and want to really feel it happening. If I can't really feel it, then I do it again until I can feel or see it going it. It always makes me take a deep breath.
Then, using my palms facing upward, I lift that ball of light up through my head and up through the crown and then up in the air and out in front of your throat, (now my palms are facing the floor), and the turning my palms toward me again, I bring the light into my throat chakra, saying, "I am the light divine."
Use my palms facing upward to lift that ball of light up through my center to the top of my head again, and then bring it out in front of my heart, push it through my heart chakra, saying, "I am love."
Then up through my body again, and up and out in front of my diaphragm and into my solar plexus, saying, "I am will."
Throughout this time, I concentrating and in meditation. I'm moving energy and it feels really good!
Then I keep going until the ball of light is out in front of my naval and pull it in, saying, "I am fixed design!"
After that I make one more effort. The ball goes up through to the top of my head and out in front of me and with palms down I push it all the way below my torso, then palms turned upward, I pull it up through my root, saying, "I am the earth itself."
NOW! I am almost done.
It's is kind of a work out. I bring it back up to the top of my head, and make it form a whirlwind of white light. Then pull this white tornado down over my whole body where it balances all of my energy, soothes and balances my chakras, like a super duper inner car wash. Let it keep passing through your body. The whirlwind is the size of a phone booth. Then it goes down into the earth where it takes all that energy, including the negative, and is purified by earth's fires.
Now I am fresh as a daisy.
I use to do this every day and always did it for clients. And now I need to start doing it again.
I made a guided meditation tape of it for anyone who wants to make a donation. But you probably have got it now.
I learned it from David Hall, my old teacher who said the words were from the Rosacrutians. I never really understood who they were, but you can look them up and that mantra is out there too.
If you don't like the words, since they are kind of cultish, you can just do it without the words. I love the words.
@jeanne-mayelle I think we did this at the beginning of one of your classes and I really enjoyed it. Thanks for writing it down and sharing it again! I look forward to trying it out again.
@baba and all, if anyone wants the mp3 tape I made of the chakra meditation so you can just listen to me guiding you along with some nice background music, just let me know and I'll send it to you (free, no donation needed). Easiest to email me or use the contact form if you don't have my email address (I can't put it in this post but it is easy to remember because it's my name at jeannemayell.com).
