4 Ways to Call Your Energy Back

Our energy is our life force.

It is not an “airy fairy” concept beholden to only spiritually-inclined people. It is our specific blueprint for what makes us unique.

When we engage in life, we are in relationship with life.

And when we are in relationship with life and all of its moving pieces, we are giving our energy to those pieces.

Jobs, social media, the internet, relationships, conversations, environments - these are all things that we give our energy to on a daily basis.

This is not a good thing or a bad thing - it’s just what there is.

However, it's when we leave our energy behind in those interactions, whatever they may be, when we start running into some trouble.

Even if you are someone with impeccable energetic boundaries where you understand your energetic capacity in any given moment and can have integrity with that, calling our energy back is still required.

Why?

Because when we leave our energy behind, we leave a piece of ourselves behind and over time that can really start to add up.

This is especially true if you are a self-identified empath, people pleaser or someone with poor boundaries (looking at you Bianca up until 31 years old).

Regardless, when we leave that energy behind we keep a cord open between us and whatever that thing we were in relationship with, even when we are no longer physically connected.

This could be something as minor as a conversation with the barista taking your order at a coffee shop all the way to a relationship that ended 10 years ago.

When we call our energy back, we are not doing so out of a place of spite. It comes from a place of neutrality. It is merely a way to make sure that we continue to bring all our parts with us as we keep moving forward in life.

That way, we close any energetic loops from the past that may be unconsciously draining us in the present and keeping us from showing up fully and authentically as the radiant unique beings we all are.

Here are 4 Energy Hygiene tools you can start today to call your energy back (PARC for short)!

1.) Presence: During any interaction (whether scrolling on social media or talking to another person), check in with your body and notice how you feel. Are you feeling depleted? Does your nervous system feel itchy / on fire? Bring non-judgmental awareness to what’s going on in your body and surrounding energy field, it’s always telling you what’s up.

2.) Adjust: Make adjustments to honor your energetic capacity. Do you need to give less in a conversation? Do you need to take a step back in a relationship? Do you need to physically leave a situation either temporarily or permanently? Do you need to stop or adjust the energy you are giving to a specific task?

3.) Reflect: After any interaction, take a brief moment to reflect how you feel (emotionally, physically, energetically, mentally). This is a non-judgmental check in that can give you data on how much of your energy you may need to call back.

4.) Clear: Keeping your feet firmly rooted on the floor, imagine your energy (whatever image that is for you) flying back into your physical body while sending the energy of the other back to them (again, this could be a person, a job, social media etc). This could be applied to something from 5 minutes ago to something 5 years ago. Imagine your energy coming through a filter as it re-enters you to make sure that it’s coming back clean and clear with only your unique blueprint attached.
