How Other People’s Energy Affects Your Aura (and How to Protect It)
Have you ever walked into a room and immediately felt a heaviness you couldn’t explain? Or maybe you’ve spent time with someone and left feeling emotionally drained, anxious, or unlike yourself? These are not coincidences—they’re signs your energy field, or aura, is being influenced by external vibrations.
We are all energetic beings, constantly exchanging subtle signals with the people and environments around us. Your aura—your energetic shield—plays a critical role in protecting your mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. When that aura is overloaded with energy that isn’t yours, it can become cloudy, depleted, or even misaligned.
In my work, I’ve seen how much clearer and more grounded people feel once they become aware of their energetic boundaries and learn how to maintain them. Let’s dive into what the aura is, how it’s affected by others, and what you can do to keep it strong and protected.
What Is the Aura and How Does It Work?
The aura is an electromagnetic energy field that surrounds your physical body. It consists of multiple layers—each corresponding to different aspects of your being, from the physical to the spiritual. While it may not be visible to the naked eye, many intuitives, energy workers, and psychics (myself included) can feel, read, or even see it during sessions.
Your aura acts like a sponge or filter. It absorbs, reflects, and sometimes holds onto the energy of other people, places, or experiences. When you spend time in emotionally intense environments or with people going through difficult times, your aura can take on some of that energy—especially if you're highly empathic or intuitive.
Signs You’re Carrying Other People’s Energy
How do you know if your aura has picked up energy that doesn’t belong to you? Here are some common signs:
-
You feel exhausted or heavy after social interactions
-
You experience sudden mood swings with no clear trigger
-
You sense emotions (sadness, anxiety, anger) that aren’t yours
-
You feel mentally foggy or spiritually disconnected
-
You lose clarity about your own thoughts or feelings
-
Your intuition feels blocked or off
These experiences are your energy field signaling that it’s overwhelmed or invaded. Just as you clean your physical space, you also need to cleanse your energetic one.
How Other People’s Energy Enters Your Aura
There are many ways external energy can attach to or influence your aura:
1. Emotional Contagion
Being around someone who’s anxious, angry, or grieving can transfer those feelings into your field.
2. Energetic Cord Attachment
When we form deep emotional connections—or even intense short-term interactions—cords of energy can form between us. If those cords remain uncut, they can continue to drain or impact us long after the interaction.
3. Lack of Boundaries
If you are a helper, healer, or naturally empathetic person, you may unconsciously invite others’ energy into your space.
4. Environmental Energy
Crowded places, chaotic homes, or workplaces with tension in the air can all leave a mark on your aura.
How to Protect and Cleanse Your Aura
Fortunately, there are many ways to keep your energy field strong and balanced. Here are some of the most effective practices I use and recommend to my clients.
1. Daily Energy Check-Ins
Pause and ask: “Is this mine?” If the energy you’re feeling doesn’t belong to you, release it. Visualize it leaving your body like smoke or mist.
2. Visualization Shields
Before starting your day or entering high-energy environments, visualize a bright, protective light surrounding you. Set the intention that only love and truth can pass through.
3. Smudging and Energy Tools
Burning sage or palo santo, using sound bowls, or working with high-vibration crystals (like black tourmaline or selenite) can clear your space and energy field.
4. Grounding
Spending time in nature, working with root chakra practices, or meditating on your connection to the earth helps you stay present and release excess energy.
5. Cutting Energetic Cords
If you’ve been in a draining relationship or can’t stop thinking about someone, perform a cord-cutting visualization. Picture the cord, thank the connection, and release it.
6. Energy-Based Readings and Support
Sometimes you need a clear mirror to show you what’s lingering in your field. That’s where a psychic or intuitive reading can help.
My Approach to Energy Readings
I offer in-depth psychic readings that help you realign your energy, release what’s not yours, and strengthen your aura. Whether you're feeling emotionally drained, spiritually blocked, or just not like yourself, these psychic and spiritual readings can help.
Here are some specific readings designed to support energetic healing:
Every reading is tuned into your unique energy. My goal is to empower you—not just to gain answers, but to create lasting energetic resilience. Whether you're looking to understand an unexplained emotional shift, feel disconnected from your intuition, or simply want clarity about your spiritual path, a session can realign your field and bring you back to yourself.
Your Energy Deserves to Be Protected
We are all exposed to energy every single day—but not all of it is meant to stay with us. Protecting your aura is a powerful act of self-respect and self-love. When your energy field is clear, you can make decisions with confidence, tune into your inner wisdom, and engage with the world in a healthier, more authentic way.
If you’ve been feeling “off” or carrying energy that doesn’t feel like your own, it may be time to clear your field and set new energetic boundaries. You deserve to feel at home in your own energy again.
