If you\u2019ve ever walked into a room where an argument recently took place and could feel the anger, you understand how the energy of a\u00a0cluster of thought form feels.<\/p>\n<p>I picked up a hitch hiker recently.\u00a0 It began when I experienced several emotional challenges over the past few months.\u00a0 A dog with cancer, moving my horses after 13 years, one sister with a major brain bleed and another with open heart surgery and then PTSD from the election.\u00a0 A full emotional plate for sure.\u00a0 I noticed it was hard to keep my emotional momentum going.\u00a0 I was doing the usual things to keep myself balanced; heart centered meditation, connecting with friends and exercise in the fresh air yet improvements were only temporary.\u00a0 I decided it was time to visit an energy healer for a tune-up.<\/p>\n<p>As she was feeling into my energy field, she asked me if I had been to a hospital or nursing home recently.\u00a0 I had been to both. I was with one sister in the hospital, another in a rehabilitation facility\/nursing home and spent time volunteering for hospice in another retirement home.\u00a0 She noticed there was an energy attached to me which she sensed I had picked up in one of these places.\u00a0 This was a lower vibration energy.\u00a0 It wasn\u2019t negative or evil, just an energy form that attached itself to me. Together we ushered this energy form away from me and to a more appropriate place.\u00a0 She continued to balance my chakras and complete the work.\u00a0 Afterwards, I felt as if I had taken off a costume and was now myself again.\u00a0 My energy felt more like me.<\/p>\n<p>Emotions such as grief, depression, powerlessness, and anger, evoke lower vibrations in our energy body.\u00a0 We can\u2019t avoid these emotions because they are part of the human experience.\u00a0 But when we are in this lower vibration we are vulnerable to attracting other lower vibration energies.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine your job is to swim 100 laps a day.\u00a0 Today, you\u2019re tired, not feeling well and you swim much slower than usual.\u00a0 There are other workers in the pool who are slow and can&#8217;t seem to swim their laps.\u00a0 They notice you going slow and see an opportunity to grab onto you and let you do the work.\u00a0 Now, in your already tired state, you\u2019re dragging this other worker with you as you swim your laps.\u00a0 They slow you down even more.\u00a0 Energy hitch hikers do this to your energy field.\u00a0 Their lower energy vibration lowers your vibration.\u00a0 The stress you were feeling is harder to shake, the grief hangs on longer than you expected and you might anger more easily.\u00a0 You might even find yourself thinking thoughts not typical for you.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, you can always dislodge a hitch hiker and there are things you can do to avoid it happening in the first place.\u00a0 We can\u2019t avoid all stress in our lives but we can do a few things to keep lower vibrations from a making us their new home.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to Avoid the Energy Hitch Hikers<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>When you are in a vulnerable place emotionally, mentally or physically, avoid hospitals, nursing homes and funeral homes.\u00a0 If you can\u2019t avoid them, do a heart meditation to raise your vibration before you go in (I forgot this).<\/li>\n<li>To keep your vibration higher, manage your energy field daily.\u00a0 My Energy Mastery Guided Meditation (free on this website) will take you through a process to disconnect from any energies via energy cords and keep the chakras flowing smoothly.\u00a0 This process may not reveal any hitch hikers to you but it will raise your vibration.<\/li>\n<li>When you\u2019re experiencing a difficult stretch, seek out a skilled energy healer to shore up your chakras and remove anything which may have attached itself along the way.<\/li>\n<li>Tend to your thoughts.\u00a0 Shifting away from negative thoughts will improve your overall energy vibration and align you with more positive thoughts.\u00a0 There\u2019s a simple 20 second exercise you can do to train your brain to think more positively and it\u2019s described in <a href=\"https:\/\/wendywolfe.com\/increase-your-happiness-in-20-seconds\/\">this article.<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Remember to take good care of your physical body too.\u00a0 Eat good food, drink lots of water and get exercise out in the fresh air as much as possible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever experienced a time
