We are walking tuning forks: Why it's important to clear your energy.

Have you ever walked into a room and instantly felt the mood, whether light, happy or heavy, tense? Or spent time with someone and left feeling drained, even though nothing "bad" happened? That's because we are all walking tuning forks, constantly picking up and resonating with each other's energy.

Think about how a tuning fork works. When struck, it vibrates at a specific frequency, and if another tuning fork is nearby, it starts vibrating at the same frequency. Humans do the same thing with energy. We tune in to the emotions, thoughts, and vibrations of people around us, sometimes without realizing it. Have you ever felt anxious after hanging out with someone stressed? That's you unconsciously matching their energy. Ever left a conversation feeling uplifted and lighter? That's you absorbing good vibes. We're always exchanging energy, but the problem is we don't just take it in. We sometimes hold onto it.

Your energy field/aura is like a sponge. It can soak up emotions, thoughts, and frequencies from others, especially if you're an empath or highly sensitive. Some signs that you're carrying energy that's not yours include feeling drained after socializing, experiencing random mood swings that don't feel like you, having a heavy or foggy mind even when life is good, and feeling off but not knowing why. If any of these sound familiar, it might be time to clear your energy.

Just like tuning forks can be reset, so can you. There are many ways to shake off energy that's not yours. Sound healing, like singing bowls, tuning forks, or sound baths, can help recalibrate your frequency. Spending time in nature, saging/smudging your space and body, walking barefoot, sitting by the ocean, or hugging a tree can clear heavy energy. Movement and breathwork, such as shaking your body, deep breathing, or dancing, can also reset your frequency. Water is another powerful cleanser. Taking a shower, soaking in a bath with Epsom salt, or even visualizing energy washing off you can help release what's stuck. It's also important to set energetic boundaries. 

Before meeting people, mentally set the intention: "I will not take on energy that is not mine." This simple practice can make a huge difference in protecting your frequency. Just like you wouldn't let someone dump their trash in your living room, don't let people dump their energy into your aura. Be mindful of who and what you tune into.

​Next time you feel a bit off, ask yourself: Does this belong to me? Is this mine? If not, let it go. Re-tune yourself to your frequency and keep your vibe strong.
