Negative energy refers to any force, thought, emotion, or environmental influence that drains your mental, emotional, or physical well-being. It can manifest internally or externally, affecting how you feel, think, and interact with the world around you.

Continuing our series on energy awareness, let’s explore the definition and types of negative energy. It’s important to remember that no one holds onto positive energy all the time, nor is anyone purely negative. We all carry both energies within us, and it’s a matter of choice and practice to cultivate a positive mindset. By nourishing good vibrations and letting go of old patterns, you can feel more inner peace.

 

Even toxic positivity is a form of negative energy. Similarly, individuals who send mixed signals (a critique disguised as a playful comment) can subtly drain your energy. Negative energy may come from many sources, including narcissists, sociopaths, perfectionists, people-pleasers, and the overly arrogant people around.

 

The key to maintaining your energy levels high is actively protecting your energy field. This means setting healthy boundaries and practicing them until they become second nature.

 

Protecting your energy field

Imagine your energy field as a cocoon, a capsule that surrounds you. Like wearing clothes to protect your skin, you must also “dress” your energy field to safeguard it. Without awareness, empaths (or “human sponges”) often absorb the energy around them. You may have experienced environments or people that either energized or depleted you.

 

Setting energy boundaries helps shield your field, preventing others from attaching their energetic “cables” or dumping their clutter onto you. Just as you wouldn’t go out naked and invite unwanted physical contact, your energy deserves the same care and protection.


We shower every day, and we clean our houses and cars, and doing the same for our energy field should feel so natural, like bringing the trash out.

  • Guilt and shame: Lingering regret or self-blame.

 

2. External negative energy

What is spiritual negative energy?

Spiritual negativity involves low vibrations stemming from negative thoughts, actions, or environments. It can manifest through fear-based reactions, harmful behaviors, or exposure to dense energies. These patterns drain your energy field, create disconnection, and hinder spiritual growth.

 

Characteristics of low vibrations


  1. Emotional indicators: Fear, anger, guilt, shame, resentment, sadness.

  2. Mental indicators: Negative self-talk, pessimism, limiting beliefs.

  3. Behavioral indicators: Gossiping, holding grudges, avoiding responsibility.

  4. Physical indicators: Fatigue, tension, frequent illness.

 

Raising your vibrations


  1. Practice gratitude: Shift your focus to positive aspects of life.

  2. Engage in physical activity: Release tension through movement or dance.

  3. Meditation and breathwork: Reconnect with higher vibrations.

  4. Energy healing: Try Reiki, sound baths, or vibrational recalibration.

  5. Consume high-vibrational content: Choose uplifting media.

  6. Connect with nature: Ground yourself through natural elements.

  7. Declutter your space: Support energy flow with a clean environment.

Raising your vibration requires daily commitment. Start your day with gratitude or a prayer to maintain energetic boundaries. Your heart field, your inner energy engine can influence and uplift kilometres around you.
